Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

In response to requests from the public,

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: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is proposing to

amend its regulations 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 antimonyberyllium 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: Comments on the proposed rule

must be received on or before November

13, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For

additional information see the Direct

Final Rule published in the final rules

section of this Federal Register.

Procedural Background

Because NRC considers this action

noncontroversial and routine, we are

publishing this proposed rule

concurrently with a direct final rule.

The direct final rule will become

effective on December 26, 2000.

However, if the NRC receives significant

adverse comments on the direct final

rule by November 13, 2000, then the

NRC will publish a document to

withdraw the direct final rule. If the

direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC

will address the comments received in

response to the revisions in a

subsequent final rule. Absent significant

modifications to the proposed revisions

requiring republication, the NRC will

not initiate a second comment period

for this action if the direct final rule is

withdrawn.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AAL–07]

Proposed Revision of VOR Federal

Airway and Jet Route; AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise

Very High Frequency Omnidirectional

Range (VOR) Federal Airway 480 (V–

480) and Jet Route 120 (J–120) in Alaska

by adding a routinely used route

segment between Mt. Moffett and St.

Paul Island, AK. The FAA is proposing

to revise these routes for the following

reasons: The conversion of this

uncharted nonregulatory route to a VOR

Federal airway and jet route would add

to the instrument flight rules (IFR)

airway and route infrastructure in

Alaska; pilots would be provided with

minimum en route altitudes and

minimum obstruction clearance

altitudes information; this amendment

would establish controlled airspace,

thus eliminating some of the

commercial IFR operations in

uncontrolled airspace; and the addition

of this route would improve the

management of air traffic operations and

thereby enhance safety.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before November 27, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager, Air

Traffic Division, AAL–500, Docket No.

00-AAL–07, Federal Aviation

Administration, 222 West 7th Avenue,

#14, Anchorage, AK 99533.

The official docket may be examined

in the Rules Docket, Office of the Chief

Counsel, Room 916, 800 Independence

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC,

weekdays, except Federal holidays,

between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

An informal docket may also be

examined during normal business hours

at the office of the Regional Air Traffic

Division.
