SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC received, by letter dated April 2, 2024 (ADAMS Accession No. ML24095A075), a license amendment application from NSPM, to amend Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–2506, which authorizes the storage of spent fuel at the Prairie Island Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (PI ISFSI) located in Welch, Minnesota. Specifically, the amendment sought to revise License Conditions 23(a), 24(A)(2), and 24(B)(2). The subject license conditions are aging management activities with specified inspection intervals of three months or one quarter. NSPM proposed to revise the license conditions to describe the inspection intervals similar to Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirement Frequency, allowing up to 1.25 times the specified intervals to account for scheduling challenges, including but not limited to inclement weather, security drills, and refueling outages. An NRC administrative completeness review, documented in a letter to NSPM dated May 16, 2024 (ADAMS Accession No. ML24128A257), found the application acceptable to begin a technical review. In accordance with section 72.16 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Filing of application for specific license,’’ a notice of docketing was published in the Federal Register on May 28, 2024 (89 FR 46176). The notice of docketing included an opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for leave to intervene. No requests for a hearing or petitions for leave to intervene were submitted. The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report (SER) (ADAMS Accession No. ML24241A169) to document its review and evaluation of the amendment request. In addition, the NRC evaluated an assertion by NSPM that the amendment request satisfied the categorical exclusion criteria specified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11). Under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), a categorical exclusion is allowed for amendments to materials licenses which are administrative, organizational, or procedural in nature, or which result in a change to process operations or equipment, provided that (i) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, (ii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 83055 exposure, (iii) there is no significant construction impact, and (iv) there is no significant increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents. As explained in the SER, the NRC determined that the license amendment request satisfied the 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11) categorical exclusion criteria. Consequently, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact are not required. Upon completing its review, the NRC staff determined that the request complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), as well as the NRC’s rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission’s rules and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment. The NRC approved and issued Amendment No. 13 to Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–2506 (ADAMS Accession No. ML24241A170), held by NSPM for the receipt, possession, transfer, and storage of spent fuel and associated radioactive materials at the PI ISFSI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC received, by letter dated April 2, 
2024 (ADAMS Accession No. ML24095A075), a license amendment application 
from NSPM, to amend Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-2506,

    An NRC administrative completeness review, documented in a letter 
to NSPM dated May 16, 2024 (ADAMS Accession No. ML24128A257), found the 
application acceptable to begin a technical review. In accordance with 
section 72.16 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),

The notice of docketing included an opportunity to request a hearing

    The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report (SER) (ADAMS Accession

(ii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative 
occupational radiation exposure, (iii) there is no significant 
construction impact, and (iv) there is no significant increase in the 
potential for or consequences from radiological accidents. As explained 
in the SER, the NRC determined that the license amendment request 
satisfied the 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11) categorical exclusion criteria. 
Consequently, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant
