Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 2 / Friday, January 3, 2025 / Proposed Rules
6(b) of the Executive Order, a federalism
summary is not required.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform
This proposed rule has been reviewed
under Executive Order 12988, Civil
Justice Reform. This rule is intended to
have preemptive effect with respect to
any State or local laws, regulations, or
policies which conflict with its
provisions or which would otherwise
impede its full and timely
implementation. This rule is not
intended to have retroactive effect
unless so specified in the Effective Dates
section of the final rule. Prior to any
judicial challenge to the provisions of
the final rule, all applicable
administrative procedures must be
exhausted.
Civil Rights Impact Analysis
FNS has reviewed this rule in
accordance with the Department
Regulation 4300–004, ‘‘Civil Rights
Impact Analysis,’’ to identify and
address any major civil rights impacts
that the rule might have on minorities,
women, and persons with disabilities.
After a careful review of the rule’s intent
and provisions, FNS has determined
that this rule has no likely impact on
any of the protected classes. These
changes primarily affect the QC review
process and not individuals’ eligibility
for or participation in SNAP.

Executive Order 13175
Executive Order 13175 requires
Federal agencies to consult and
coordinate with Tribes on a
government-to-government basis on
policies that have Tribal implications,
including regulations, legislative
comments or proposed legislation, and
other policy statements or actions that
have substantial direct effects on one or
more Indian Tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian Tribes.
After a careful review of the rule’s
intent, FNS has determined that this
rule has no intended impact on Tribal
implications.

submissions available to the public or
entering the comment into ADAMS.
II. Rulemaking Procedure
Because the NRC considers this action
to be non-controversial, the NRC is
publishing this proposed rule
concurrently with a direct final rule in
the Rules and Regulations section of this
issue of the Federal Register. The direct
final rule will become effective on
March 19, 2025. However, if the NRC
receives any significant adverse
comment by February 3, 2025, then the
NRC will publish a document that
withdraws the direct final rule. If the
direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC
will address the comments in a
subsequent final rule. In general, absent
significant modifications to the
proposed revisions requiring
republication, the NRC will not initiate
a second comment period on this action
in the event the direct final rule is
withdrawn.
A significant adverse comment is a
comment where the commenter
explains why the rule would be
inappropriate, including challenges to
the rule’s underlying premise or
approach, or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change. A
comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and
provides a reason sufficient to require a
substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, a
substantive response is required when:
(a) The comment causes the NRC to
reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or
conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue
serious enough to warrant a substantive
response to clarify or complete the
record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant
issue that was not previously addressed
or considered by the NRC.
(2) The comment proposes a change
or an addition to the rule, and it is
apparent that the rule would be
ineffective or unacceptable without
incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC to
make a change (other than editorial) to
the rule.
For a more detailed discussion of the
proposed rule changes and associated
analyses, see the direct final rule
published in the Rules and Regulations
section of this issue of the Federal
Register.
III. Background
Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act of 1982, as amended,
requires that ‘‘[t]he Secretary [of the
Department of Energy] shall establish a
demonstration program, in cooperation
E:\FR\FM\03JAP1.SGM
03JAP1
270
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 2 / Friday, January 3, 2025 / Proposed Rules
with the private sector, for the dry
storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian
nuclear power reactor sites, with the
objective of establishing one or more
technologies that the [Nuclear
Regulatory] Commission may, by rule,
approve for use at the sites of civilian
nuclear power reactors without, to the
maximum extent practicable, the need
for additional site-specific approvals by
the Commission.’’ Section 133 of the
Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part,
that ‘‘[t]he Commission shall, by rule,
establish procedures for the licensing of
any technology approved by the
Commission under section 219(a) [sic:
218(a)] for use at the site of any civilian
nuclear power reactor.’’
To implement this mandate, the
Commission approved dry storage of
spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved
casks under a general license by
publishing a final rule that added a new
subpart K in part 72 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
entitled ‘‘General License for Storage of
Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites’’ (55
FR 29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also
established a new subpart L in 10 CFR
part 72 entitled ‘‘Approval of Spent Fuel
Storage Casks,’’ which contains
procedures and criteria for obtaining
NRC approval of spent fuel storage cask
designs. The NRC subsequently issued a
final rule on November 21, 2008 (73 FR
70587), that approved the NAC
International, Inc. MAGNASTOR®
Storage System design and added it to
the list of NRC-approved cask designs in
§ 72.214 as Certificate of Compliance
No. 1031.
IV. Plain Writing
The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub.
L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to
write documents in a clear, concise, and
well-organized manner. The NRC has
written this document to be consistent
with the Plain Writing Act as well as the
Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Plain
Language in Government Writing,’’
published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31885).
The NRC requests comment on the
proposed rule with respect to clarity
and effectiveness of the language used.

10 CFR Part 72
[NRC-2024-0180]
RIN 3150-AL21
List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: NAC International,
Inc. MAGNASTOR[supreg] Storage System, Certificate of Compliance No.
1031, Amendment No. 14 and Revisions to Amendment Nos. 0 Through 13
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to
amend its spent fuel regulations by revising the NAC International,
Inc. MAGNASTOR[supreg] Storage System listing within the ``List of
approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 14 and
revisions to Amendment Nos. 0 through 13 to Certificate of Compliance
No. 1031. Amendment No. 14 and revisions to Amendment Nos. 0
[[Page 269]]
through 13 revise the certificate of compliance to add a revised method
of evaluation for the non-mechanistic tipover accident, clarify in the
technical specifications that damaged missing grid spacers only apply
to pressurized-water reactor fuel assembles, clarify inlet and outlet
vent blockage and surveillance requirements in limiting condition for
operation 3.1.2 in Appendix A to the certificate of compliance and
associated technical specification bases, and remove the reference to
Type II Portland cement in the description of the certificate of
compliance. The NRC is also correcting typographical errors in Revision
1 to Amendment Nos. 11 to 13 and Amendment No. 14 to Certificate of
Compliance No. 1031.

https://www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions
into ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to
remove identifying or contact information.
If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons
for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to
include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be
publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should
state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to
remove such information before making the comment submissions available
to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS.
II. Rulemaking Procedure
Because the NRC considers this action to be non-controversial, the
NRC is publishing this proposed rule concurrently with a direct final
rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal
Register. The direct final rule will become effective on March 19,
2025. However, if the NRC receives any significant adverse comment by
February 3, 2025, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws
the direct final rule. If the direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC
will address the comments in a subsequent final rule. In general,
absent significant modifications to the proposed revisions requiring
republication, the NRC will not initiate a second comment period on
this action in the event the direct final rule is withdrawn.
A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For
example, a substantive response is required when:
(a) The comment causes the NRC to reevaluate (or reconsider) its
position or conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously
addressed or considered by the NRC.
(2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable
without incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC to make a change (other than
editorial) to the rule.
For a more detailed discussion of the proposed rule changes and
associated analyses, see the direct final rule published in the Rules
and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register.
III. Background
Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended,
requires that ``[t]he Secretary [of the Department of Energy] shall
establish a demonstration program, in cooperation
[[Page 270]]
with the private sector, for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at
civilian nuclear power reactor sites, with the objective of
establishing one or more technologies that the [Nuclear Regulatory]
Commission may, by rule, approve for use at the sites of civilian
nuclear power reactors without, to the maximum extent practicable, the
need for additional site-specific approvals by the Commission.''
Section 133 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part, that
``[t]he Commission shall, by rule, establish procedures for the
licensing of any technology approved by the Commission under section
219(a) [sic: 218(a)] for use at the site of any civilian nuclear power
reactor.''
To implement this mandate, the Commission approved dry storage of
spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved casks under a general license by
publishing a final rule that added a new subpart K in part 72 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) entitled ``General
License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites'' (55 FR
29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also established a new subpart L in 10
CFR part 72 entitled ``Approval of Spent Fuel Storage Casks,'' which
contains procedures and criteria for obtaining NRC approval of spent
fuel storage cask designs. The NRC subsequently issued a final rule on
November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70587), that approved the NAC International,
Inc. MAGNASTOR[supreg] Storage System design and added it to the list
of NRC-approved cask designs in Sec. 72.214 as Certificate of
Compliance No. 1031.
IV. Plain Writing
The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized
manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the
Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, ``Plain
Language in Government Writing,'' published June 10, 1998 (63 FR
31885). The NRC requests comment on the proposed rule with respect to
clarity and effectiveness of the language used.
V. Availability of Documents
The documents identified in the following table are available to
interested persons as indicated.
