73, 74, and 100 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) [Regulation 

Identifier Number (RIN) 3150-AJ87; NRC-2016-0229]

On December 2, 2016, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (81 FR 86906) 

amending its regulations to make miscellaneous corrections. The amendments include 

correcting a senior NRC management position title; correcting terminology for consistency in 

NRC regulations; and correcting contact information, references, typographical errors, and 

misspellings. This final rule is effective on December 30, 2016.

List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: NAC International MAGNASTOR® Cask 

System; Certificate of Compliance No. 1031, Amendment No. 6; Direct Final Rule; 

Confirmation of Effective Date; 10 CFR Part 72 (RIN 3150-AJ77; NRC-2016-0137)

On December 7, 2016, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (81 FR 88097) 

confirming the effective date of December 21, 2016, for the direct final rule that was published in 

the Federal Register on October 7, 2016 (81 FR 69659). The direct final rule amended the 

NRC’s spent fuel storage regulations by revising the “List of approved spent fuel storage casks”

to include Amendment No. 6 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031 for the NAC International, 

MAGNASTOR® Cask System.

Plant-Specific Applicability of Transition Break Size Specified in 10 CFR 50.46a: Draft 

Regulatory Guide; Discontinuation and Withdrawal; 10 CFR Part 50 (RIN 3150-AH29; 

NRC-2010-0229)

On December 8, 2016, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (81 FR 88615) 

announcing the discontinuation of further regulatory action on Draft Regulatory Guide (DG) DG1216, “Plant-Specific Applicability of Transition Break Size Specified in 10 CFR 50.46a,” and its 

withdrawal. Draft Regulatory Guide-1216 was a proposed new regulatory guide written to 

provide implementing guidance for a proposed rule entitled, “Risk-Informed Changes to Loss-ofCoolant Accident Technical Requirements” (Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) 

rulemaking), that provided a voluntary, alternate approach for evaluating the performance of an 

ECCS. The NRC is discontinuing further regulatory action on the DG and not publishing the DG 

in final form because the NRC discontinued the ECCS rulemaking (81 FR 69446; October 6, 

2016). The effective date for discontinuance and withdrawal of the DG is December 8, 2016.
