Amendment No. 3; Final Rule; 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 72 (RIN 3150-AJ31; 

NRC-2013-0271)

On January 22, 2015, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (80 FR 3147) 

amending its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Transnuclear, Inc. Standardized 

Advanced NUHOMS® Horizontal Modular Storage System listing within the “List of Approved 

Spent Fuel Storage Casks” to include Amendment No. 3 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1029. 

On April 15, 2014, the NRC published a direct final rule (79 FR 21121) and a companion
