NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 72

RIN 3150–AG58

List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage

Casks: HI–STAR 100 Revision

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is amending its

regulations by revising the Holtec

International HI–STAR 100 cask system

listing within the ‘‘List of approved

spent fuel storage casks’’ to include

Amendment No. 1 to the Certificate of

Compliance (CoC). Amendment No. 1

revises the HI–STAR 100 cask system in

seven areas and includes changes to the

CoC and Technical Specifications. The

seven areas involve: revision of the

existing fuel specification tables;

addition of pressurized water reactor

Burnable Poison Rod Assemblies and

Thimble Plug Devices; addition of two

new classes of fuel to the fuel

specification tables; addition of a new

damaged fuel container; addition of

thoria rods in canisters; addition of

antimony-beryllium neutron sources

[i.e., reactor startup sources]; and

clarifications, editorial corrections, and

other minor changes to cask design

information and drawings. The CoC was

revised to require users to prepare

written acceptance tests and a

maintenance program consistent with

the technical basis described in the

Safety Analysis Report (SAR). In

addition, the amendment includes two

minor changes to the HI–STAR 100

listing in the regulations. This

amendment will allow the holders of

power reactor operating licenses to store

spent fuel in the HI–STAR 100 cask

system, as amended, under a general

license.

DATES: The final rule is effective

December 26, 2000, unless significant

adverse comments are received by

November 13, 2000. If adverse

comments are received, a timely notice

of withdrawal will be published in the

Federal Register informing the public

that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste

Policy Act of 1982, as amended

(NWPA), requires that ‘‘[t]he Secretary

[of the Department of Energy] shall

establish a demonstration program, in

cooperation with the private sector, for

the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at

civilian nuclear power reactor sites,

with the objective of establishing one or

more technologies the [Nuclear

Regulatory] Commission may, by rule,

approve for use at the sites of civilian

nuclear power reactors without, to the

maximum extent practicable, the need

for additional site-specific approvals by

the Commission.’’ Section 133 of the

NWPA states, in part, that ‘‘[t]he

Commission shall, by rule, establish

procedures for the licensing of any

technology approved by the

Commission under Section 218(a) for

use at the site of any civilian nuclear

power reactor.’’

To implement this mandate, the NRC

approved dry storage of spent nuclear

fuel in NRC-approved casks under a

general license, publishing a final rule

in 10 CFR Part 72 entitled ‘‘General

License for Storage of Spent Fuel at

Power Reactor Sites’’ (55 FR 29181, July

18, 1990). This rule also established a

new Subpart L within 10 CFR Part 72

entitled ‘‘Approval of Spent Fuel

Storage Casks,’’ containing procedures

and criteria for obtaining NRC approval

of dry storage cask designs.

The NRC subsequently issued a final

rule on September 3, 1999 (64 FR

48274), that approved the HI–STAR 100

cask design, added it to the list of NRCapproved cask designs in § 72.214, and

issued Certificate of Compliance

Number (CoC No.) 1008.

Discussion

On November 24, 1999, Holtec

International (the certificate holder),

submitted an application to the NRC to

amend CoC No. 1008 and supplemented

the application on February 4, 18, and

28, March 2, 16, and 31, and May 23,

2000. Amendment No. 1 revises the HI–

STAR 100 cask system in seven areas

and includes changes to the CoC and

Technical Specifications. The seven

areas involve: (1) Revision of the

existing fuel specification tables; (2)

60340 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 11, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

addition of pressurized water reactor

(PWR) Burnable Poison Rod Assemblies

(BPRAs) and Thimble Plug Devices

(TPDs); (3) addition of two new classes

of fuel to the fuel specification tables;

(4) addition of a new damaged fuel

container that can contain fuel

assemblies with known or suspected

defects, such as ruptured fuel rods,

severed rods, loose pellets; (5) addition

of thoria rods in canisters; (6) addition

of antimony-beryllium neutron sources

[i.e., reactor startup sources]; and (7)

clarifications, editorial corrections, and

other minor changes to cask design

information and drawings. The staff

revised the CoC to include Condition 3

that requires users to prepare written

acceptance tests and maintenance

program consistent with the technical

basis described in Chapter 9 of the SAR.

This was done for consistency with

other CoC’s, in particular, the HiSTORM 100.

In addition, the amendment includes

two minor changes to the HI–STAR 100

listing in § 72.214 of the regulations.

First, the ‘‘Certification Expiration Date’’

is changed to ‘‘Certificate Expiration

Date.’’ Second, ‘‘Final’’ is added to the

title of the SAR. This amendment will

allow the holders of power reactor

operating licenses to store spent fuel in

the HI–STAR 100 cask system, as

amended, under a general license. These

changes are described in the Revision

History for Amendment 1 (CoC,

Appendices A and B). The NRC staff

performed a safety evaluation of the

amendment request and found that the

changes provide reasonable assurance

that the spent fuel can be stored safely

and in compliance with 10 CFR Part 72.

The NRC staff documented its review

and evaluation in a Safety Evaluation

Report. This direct final rule will revise

the Holtec International HI–STAR 100

cask system listing within the list of

NRC-approved casks for spent fuel

storage in § 72.214 by adding

Amendment No. 1 to CoC No. 1008. The

amended HI-STAR 100 cask system,

when used under the conditions

specified in the CoC and NRC

regulations, will meet the requirements

of 10 CFR Part 72; thus, adequate

protection of public health and safety

will continue to be ensured.

Amendment No. 1 applies to any HISTAR 100 cask loaded after December

26, 2000.

Amendment No. 1 to CoC No. 1008

and the underlying SER, and the

Environmental Assessment and Finding

of No Significant Impact are available

for inspection and comment through

September 21, 2000, at the NRC Public

Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW

(Lower Level), Washington, DC.

Beginning September 26, 2000, the NRC

Public Document Room wil be located

at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockvill, MD.

Single copies of the CoC and SER may

be obtained from Gordon Gundersen,

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and

Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555,

telephone (301) 415–6195, email

GEG1@nrc.gov. An electronic copy of

the proposed CoC and preliminary SER

can be found in the NRC’s Electronic

Reading Room http://www.nrc.gov/

NRC/ADAMS/index.html under

Accession No. ML003726991.

Discussion of Amendments by Section

§ 72.214 List of Approved Spent Fuel

Storage Casks

Certificate No. 1008 will be revised

indicating the addition of Amendment

No. 1 and its effective date. Also, the

‘‘Certification Expiration Date’’ is

changed to ‘‘Certificate Expiration

Date,’’ and ‘‘Final’’ is added to the title

of the safety analysis report.

Procedural Background

This rule is limited to the changes

contained in Amendment No. 1 to CoC

No. 1008 and does not include other

aspects of the HI–STAR 100 cask system

design. Because NRC considers this

amendment to its rules to be

noncontroversial and routine, the NRC

is using the direct final rule procedure

for this rule. This amendment will

become effective on December 26, 2000.

However, if the NRC receives significant

adverse comments by November 13,

2000, then the NRC will publish a

document that withdraws this action

and will address the comments received

in response to the amendments. These

comments will be addressed in a

subsequent final rule. Absent significant

modification to the revisions requiring

republication, the NRC will not initiate

a second comment period on this action.

Agreement State Compatibility

Under the ‘‘Policy Statement on

Adequacy and Compatibility of

Agreement State Programs’’ approved by

the Commission on June 30, 1997, and

published in the Federal Register on

September 3, 1997 (62 FR 46517), this

rule is classified as Compatibility

Category ‘‘NRC.’’ Compatibility is not

required for Category ‘‘NRC’’

regulations. The NRC program elements

in this category are those that relate

directly to areas of regulation reserved

to the NRC by the Atomic Energy Act of

1954, as amended (AEA), or the

provisions of Title 10 of the Code of

Federal Regulations. Although an

Agreement State may not adopt program

elements reserved to NRC, it may wish

to inform its licensees of certain

requirements via a mechanism that is

consistent with the particular State’s

administrative procedure laws, but does

not confer regulatory authority on the

State.

Plain Language

The Presidential Memorandum dated

June 1, 1998, entitled ‘‘Plain Language

in Government Writing,’’ directed that

the Government’s writing be in plain

language. The NRC requests comments

on this direct final rule specifically with

respect to the clarity and effectiveness

of the language used. Comments should

be sent to the address listed under the

heading ADDRESSES, above.

Finding of No Significant

Environmental Impact: Availability

Under the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the

NRC regulations in Subpart A of 10 CFR

Part 51, the NRC has determined that

this rule, if adopted, would not be a

major Federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment and, therefore, an

environmental impact statement is not

required. The rule will add Amendment

No. 1 to the HI–STAR 100 cask system

to the list of approved spent fuel storage

casks that power reactor licensees can

use to store spent fuel at reactor sites

without additional site-specific

approvals by the NRC.

Amendment No. 1 revises the HI–

STAR 100 cask system in seven areas

and includes changes to the CoC and

Technical Specifications. The seven

areas involve: (1) Revision of the

existing fuel specification tables; (2)

addition of pressurized water reactor

(PWR) Burnable Poison Rod Assemblies

(BPRAs) and Thimble Plug Devices

(TPDs); (3) addition of two new classes

of fuel to the fuel specification tables;

(4) addition of a new damaged fuel

container; (5) addition of thoria rods in

canisters; (6) addition of antimonyberyllium neutron sources [i.e., reactor

startup sources]; and (7) clarifications,

editorial corrections, and other minor

changes to cask design information and

drawings. The staff revised the CoC to

include Condition 3 that requires users

to prepare written acceptance tests and

maintenance program consistent with

the technical basis described in Chapter

9 of the SAR. This was done for

consistency with other CoCs, in

particular the HI–STORM 100.

In addition, the amendment includes

two minor changes to HI–STAR 100

listing in § 72.214 of the regulations.

First, ‘‘Certification Expiration Date’’ is

changed to ‘‘Certificate Expiration

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 11, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 60341

Date.’’ Second, ‘‘Final’’ is added to the

title of the safety analysis report. The

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact on which this

determination is based are available for

inspection at the NRC Public Document

Room, 2120 L Street NW. (Lower Level),

Washington, DC through September 21,

2000. Beginning September 26, 2000,

the NRC Public Document Room will

located at 11555 Rockville Pike,

Rockville, MD. Single copies of the

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact are available

from Gordon Gundersen, Office of

Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555, Telephone (301)

415–6195, email GEG1@nrc.gov. An

electronic copy of the proposed

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact can be found in

the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at

http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/

index.html.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

This direct final rule does not contain

a new or amended information

collection requirement subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing

requirements were approved by the

Office of Management and Budget,

Approval Number 3150–0132.

Public Protection Notification

If a means used to impose an

information collection does not display

a currently valid OMB control number,

the NRC may not conduct or sponsor,

and a person is not required to respond

to, the information collection.

Voluntary Consensus Standards

The National Technology Transfer Act

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113) requires that

Federal agencies use technical standards

that are developed or adopted by

voluntary consensus standards bodies

unless the use of such a standard is

inconsistent with applicable law or

otherwise impractical. In this direct

final rule, the NRC will revise the

Holtec International HI–STAR 100 cask

system listing within the list of NRC

approved casks for spent fuel storage in

10 CFR 72.214. This action does not

constitute the establishment of a

standard that establishes generallyapplicable requirements.

Regulatory Analysis

On July 18, 1990 (55 FR 29181), the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

issued an amendment to 10 CFR Part 72

to provide for the storage of spent

nuclear fuel under a general license in

cask system designs approved by the

NRC. Any nuclear power reactor

licensee can use NRC-approved casks to

store spent nuclear fuel if it notifies the

NRC in advance, spent fuel is stored

under the conditions specified in the

cask’s Certificate of Compliance, and the

conditions of the general license are

met.

A list of NRC-approved cask system

designs is contained in § 72.214. On

September 3, 1999 (64 FR 48274), the

NRC issued an amendment to Part 72

that approved the HI–STAR 100 cask

design, added it to the list of NRCapproved cask designs in § 72.214, and

issued CoC No. 1008. On November 24,

1999, the certificate holder submitted an

application to the NRC to amend the

Technical Specifications and CoC No.

1008. Amendment No. 1 revises the HI–

STAR 100 cask system in seven areas

and includes changes to the CoC and

Technical Specifications. The seven

areas involve: (1) Revision of the

existing fuel specification tables; (2)

addition of pressurized water reactor

(PWR) Burnable Poison Rod Assemblies

(BPRAs) and Thimble Plug Devices

(TPDs); (3) addition of two new classes

of fuel to the fuel specification tables;

(4) addition of a new damaged fuel

container; (5) addition of thoria rods in

canisters; (6) addition of antimonyberyllium neutron sources [i.e., reactor

startup sources]; and (7) clarifications,

editorial corrections, and other minor

changes to cask design information and

drawings. In addition, the amendment

includes two minor changes to HI–

STAR 100 listing in § 72.214 of the

regulations. First, the ‘‘Certification

Expiration Date’’ is changed to

‘‘Certificate Expiration Date.’’ Second,

‘‘Final’’ is added to the title of the safety

analysis report. This amendment will

allow holders of power reactor operating

licenses to store spent fuel in the HI–

STAR 100 cask system.

This rule will permit manufacture of

casks under the revisions in

Amendment 1. The alternative to this

action is to withhold approval of this

amended cask system design and give a

site-specific license to each utility that

proposes to use the casks. This

alternative would cost both the NRC and

the utilities more time and money

because each utility would have to

pursue a new site-specific license.

Conducting site-specific reviews would

be in conflict with the Nuclear Waste

Policy Act of 1982, as amended

(NWPA), which directed to the NRC to

approve technologies for the use of

spent fuel storage at the sites of civilian

nuclear power reactors without, to the

maximum extent practicable, the need

for additional site-specific approvals by

the NRC. This alternative does not foster

competition because it would tend to

favor new vendors without cause and

would arbitrarily limit the choice of

cask system designs available to power

reactor licensees.

Approval of the direct final rule

would eliminate the problems described

above and is consistent with previous

NRC actions. Further, the direct final

rule will have no adverse effect on

public health and safety. This direct

final rule has no significant identifiable

impact or benefit on other Government

agencies. Based on the above discussion

of the benefits and impacts of the

alternatives, the NRC concludes that the

requirements of the direct final rule are

commensurate with the NRC’s

responsibilities for public health and

safety and the common defense and

security. No other available alternative

is believed to be as satisfactory, and

thus, this action is recommended.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act

In accordance with the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, the NRC has

determined that this action is not a

major rule and has verified this

determination with the Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Office of Management and Budget.

Regulatory Flexibility Certification

In accordance with the Regulatory

Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)),

the NRC certifies that this rule will not,

if promulgated, have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. This direct

final rule affects only the licensing and

operation of nuclear power plants,

independent spent fuel storage facilities,

and Holtec International. The

companies that own these plants do not

fall within the scope of the definition of

‘‘small entities’’ set forth in the

Regulatory Flexibility Act or the Small

Business Size Standards set out in

regulations issued by the Small

Business Administration at 13 CFR Part

121.

Backfit Analysis

The NRC has determined that the

backfit rule (10 CFR 50.109 or 10 CFR

72.62) does not apply to this direct final

rule because this amendment does not

involve any provisions that would

impose backfits as defined. Therefore, a

backfit analysis is not required.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

13 CFR Part 121

Small Business Size Standards;

Arrangement of Transportation of

Freight and Cargo

AGENCY: Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Final rule; clarification.

SUMMARY: This document clarifies SBA’s

final rule revising the small business

size standard for Standard Industrial

Classification (SIC) Code 4731,

Arrangement of Transportation of

Freight and Cargo. On May 15, 2000,

SBA established a new table of size

standards based on the North American

Industry Classification System (NAICS)

which replaces the SIC code table on

October 1, 2000. Because SBA issued

the final rule concerning SIC 4731 after

adopting the new NAICS table of size

standards, this action updates the

NAICS size standards table to reflect the

changes for the Freight Transportation

Arrangement industry. This action also

inserts into the NAICS table a Subsector

for Mining Support Activities which

was inadvertently excluded from the

May 15, 2000 publication.

DATES: This rule is effective on October

1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Diane Heal, Office of Size Standards,

(202) 205–6618.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Freight Transportation Arrangements

On August 9, 2000, SBA issued a final

rule in the Federal Register, (65 FR

48601) that revised the small business

size standard for SIC Code 4731,

Arrangement of Transportation of

Freight and Cargo. SBA revised the

standard from $18.5 million to $5.0

million in average annual receipts

effective September 8, 2000. However,

SBA retained the $18.5 million size

standard for Non-Vessel Owning

Common Carriers and Household Goods

Forwarders. SBA, in that same rule, also

changed how it calculates the average

annuals receipts of freight forwarders

and custom brokers for purposes of

determining eligibility for Federal small

business programs.

In that final rule, SBA referred to the

effect that changing the size standard for

Support Activities for Mining

When SBA published the NAICS table

in the May 15, 2000, Federal Register,

Mining, was inadvertently left out of the

published table. SBA is now correcting

this oversight by adding the Subsector

to the NAICS table.
