NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-9]

 
Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2504, 
Public Service Company of Colorado, Fort St. Vrain Independent Spent 
Fuel Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
Amendment 5 to Materials License No. SNM-2504 held by the Public 
Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) for the receipt, possession, 
storage, and transfer of spent fuel at the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) 
independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), located in Weld 
County, Colorado. The amendment is effective as of the date of 
issuance.
    By application dated November 25, 1997, PSCo requested an amendment 
to revise Materials License SNM-2504 and the Technical Specifications 
for the FSV ISFSI to (1) replace 10 CFR 50 Program references with 
stand-alone ISFSI program references due to the termination of the FSV 
10 CFR part 50 license, (2) delete references to previously authorized 
material that is not stored at the ISFSI, and (3) revise the Technical 
Specifications to accurately reflect the current ISFSI activities.
    This amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission'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.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been 
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether 
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the 
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing by July 31, 
1998, on whether the action should be rescinded or modified.
    The Commission has determined that the issuance of the amendment 
will not result in any significant environmental impact and that, 
pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(ii), an environmental assessment need 
not be prepared in connection with issuance of the amendment.
    Documents related to this action are available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room located at the 
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of June 1998.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

William F. Kane,
Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety 
and Safeguards.
