SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 6, 2001 (66 FR 13407), the NRC
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its
regulations in 10 CFR 72 to revising the Pacific Sierra Nuclear
Associates (PSNA) VSC-24 listing within the ``List of approved spent
fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 3 to the Certificate of
Compliance (CoC). This amendment changes the Technical Specifications
1.2.1 and 1.2.6 to modify the fuel specifications for Combustion
Engineering 16x16 spent fuel stored in the VSC-24 cask system, modifies
the text in TS 1.2.7 for accuracy, modifies the text in Certificate
Section 2.b. to remove ambiguity, modifies Certificate Section 3 to be
consistent with TS 1.1.4, modifies Certificate Section 4 for
consistency with TS 1.1.3, and modifies Certificate Section 5 to remove
ambiguity. This document confirms the effective date. In the direct
final rule, NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were
received, the direct final rule would become final on the date noted
above. The NRC did not receive any comments that warranted withdrawal
of the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become effective as
scheduled.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of May, 2001.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michael T. Lesar,
Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative
Services, Office of Administration.
