Items of Interest

Week Ending April 24, 2015

List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask 

System, Certificate of Compliance No. 1014, Amendment No. 8, Revision No. 1: Direct 

Final Rule; Withdrawal; Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 72 (Regulation 

Identifier Number (RIN) 3150-AJ47; NRC-2014-0233) 

On April 20, 2015, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (80 FR 21639) 

withdrawing a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on February 5, 2015 

(80 FR 6430). The direct final rule would have amended the NRC’s spent fuel storage 

regulations by revising the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the 

“List of approved spent fuel storage casks,” to add Amendment No. 8, Revision No. 1, to 

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014. The NRC took this action because it received at least one 

significant adverse comment in response to the companion proposed rule published in the 

Federal Register on February 5, 2015 (80 FR 6466). The withdrawal of this direct final rule 

became effective on April 20, 2015. 

Alternate Risk-Informed Approach for Addressing the Effects of Debris on Post-Accident 

Long-Term Core Cooling: Draft Regulatory Guide; Request for Comment; Title 

10 CFR, Parts 50 and 52 (RIN 3150-AH42; NRC-2015-0095) 

On April 20, 2015, the NRC issued for public comment in the Federal Register (80 FR 21658), 

Draft Regulatory Guide (DG) DG-1322, “Alternate Risk-Informed Approach for Addressing the 

Effects of Debris on Post-Accident Long-Term Core Cooling.” This DG proposes new guidance 

that describes methods and procedures that the NRC staff considers acceptable for complying 

with a voluntary, risk-informed alternative in a proposed revision of the NRC’s regulations 

governing the design of emergency core cooling systems. Comments are due by July 6, 2015.

Enterprise-wide Onsite Clerical, Secretarial, and Administrative Support Services

On April 21, 2015, as a result of a non-competitive 8(a) set-aside procurement, indefinitedelivery/indefinite-quantity, enterprise-wide contract number NRC-HQ-40-15-E-0002 was 

awarded to Navar, Incorporated, of Manassas, Virginia. The contract provides for onsite 

clerical, secretarial, and administrative support services for headquarters and regional offices, 

including the Technical Training Center. The period of performance is from April 22, 2015,

through April 21, 2016, with four 1-year option periods. The total estimated price ceiling is 

$20,000,000, inclusive of the options.

Enhanced Security of Special Nuclear Material: Regulatory Basis; Title 10 CFR, Part 73; 

(RIN 3150-AJ41; NRC-2014-0118)

On April 23, 2015, the NRC published a regulatory basis document in the Federal Register

(80 FR 22434) that supports a proposed rulemaking that would potentially amend the NRC’s

regulations concerning the security of special nuclear material. The NRC is not seeking public 

comment at this time.
