appeared in the Federal Register of August 21, 2001 (66 FR 43761). This
direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations revising the ``List of

Compliance Number 1001 for the Westinghouse MC-10 cask system. The
Westinghouse MC-10 can no longer be used to store spent fuel under a
general license. This document confirms the effective date.

direct final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 2001 (66 FR 43761), the NRC
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its
regulations in 10 CFR 72 revising the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel
Storage Casks'' by terminating Certificate of Compliance Number 1001
for the Westinghouse MC-10 cask system. The Westinghouse MC-10 can no
longer be used to store spent fuel under a general license. 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 29th day of October, 2001.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
