Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located in Louisa County, Virginia.

1999, VA Power requested to amend its ISFSI license to permit the 
storage of burnable poison rod assemblies and/or thimble plug devices 
within the TN-32 casks used at North Anna. This amendment complies with

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 on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified.
    Also in connection with this action, the Commission prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI). The EA and FONSI were published in the Federal Register on 
October 15, 1999 (64 FR 55994).
    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, and at the 
Local Public Document Room at the Alderman Library, the University of 
Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903.
