SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated July 30, 2004, as 
supplemented August 13, 2004, General Electric Company submitted an 
application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the 
Commission), in accordance with 10 CFR part 72, requesting the 
amendment of the General Electric--Morris Operation (GEMO) independent 
spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) Materials License SNM-2500 and 
the associated Technical Specifications (TS) for the GEMO ISFSI located 
in Grundy County, Illinois. The amendment application requests changes 
to the GEMO Consolidated Safety Analysis Report to reflect the current 
condition of the fuel stored and only that equipment necessary for its 
safe storage. The major changes proposed include revisions to 
information regarding the spent fuel inventory, deletion of the 
requirement for ventilation exhaust vacuum, deletion of the requirement 
to have certain instrumentation operative for equipment that is no 
longer in service, a change in the methods to verify pool water 
quality, revision to the description of the company organization, and 
removal of ``receipt'' from the license which effectively will not 
permit the GEMO facility to accept shipment of any additional spent 
fuel. Commensurate changes to the Technical Specifications to reflect 
these revisions are also proposed. This application supersedes in its 
entirety, General Electric's amendment 10 application dated April 30, 
1998, and amendment 11 application dated August 13, 2001. Amendment 
requests 10 and 11 were withdrawn by GEMO by letter dated March 1, 
2004. This application was docketed under 10 CFR part 72; the GEMO 
ISFSI Docket No. 72-1. The amendment of an ISFSI license is subject to 
the Commission's approval. The Director, Office of Nuclear Material 
Safety and Safeguards, or his designee, will determine if the amendment 
presents a genuine issue as to whether public health and safety will be 
significantly affected and may issue either a notice of a hearing or a 
notice of proposed action and opportunity for a hearing in accordance 
with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(1) or take immediate action on the amendment in 
accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of NRC's ``Rules of Practice,'' 
final NRC records and documents regarding this proposed action, 
including the application for license amendment dated July 30, 2004, as 
supplemented August 13, 2004, and supporting documentation, are 
publically available in the records component of NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). These documents may be
