NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

10 CFR Part 72 

[NRC–2014–0058] 

RIN–3150–AJ39 

List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage 

Casks: NAC International 

MAGNASTOR® System; Certificate of 

Compliance No. 1031, Amendment 

No. 4 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is amending its 

spent fuel storage regulations to add 

Amendment No. 4 to the Certificate of 

Compliance (CoC) No. 1031 for the NAC 

International MAGNASTOR® System. 

Amendment No. 4 changes a limiting 

condition for operation (LCO) in the 

technical specifications for 

transportable storage canister (TSC) 

vacuum drying and helium backfill 

times, and corrects a typographical 

error. The NRC approval of this 

Amendment would not authorize 

transportation. 

DATES: The direct final rule is effective 

April 14, 2015, unless significant 

adverse comments are received by 

March 2, 2015. If the direct final rule is 

withdrawn as a result of such 

comments, timely notice of the 

withdrawal will be published in the 

Federal Register. Comments received 

after this date will be considered if it is 

practical to do so, but the NRC staff is 

able to ensure consideration only for 

comments received on or before this 

date.

I. Procedural Background 

This direct final rule is limited to the 

changes contained in Amendment No. 4 

to CoC No. 1031 and does not include 

other aspects of the MAGNASTOR®

System design. Because the NRC 

considers this action noncontroversial 

and routine, the NRC is publishing this 

direct final rule concurrently with a 

proposed rule in the Rules and 

Regulations section of this issue of the 

Federal Register. Adequate protection 

of public health and safety continues to 

be ensured. This amendment to the rule 

will become effective on April 14, 2015. 

If the NRC receives significant adverse 

comments on this direct final rule by 

March 2, 2015, however, it will publish 

a document that withdraws the direct 

final rule and notifies the public that the 

NRC will address the comments 

received in response to these proposed 

revisions in a subsequent final rule. 

Absent significant modifications to the 

proposed revisions that would require 

republication, the NRC will not initiate 

a second comment period on this action. 

A significant adverse comment is one 

in which the commenter explains why 

the rule would be inappropriate. This 

could include challenging the rule’s 

underlying premise or approach, or 

explaining why the rule would be 

ineffective or unacceptable without a 

change. A comment is adverse and 

significant if: 

(1) The comment opposes the rule and 

provides a reason sufficient to require a 

substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, a 

substantive response is required when: 

(a) The comment causes the NRC staff 

to reevaluate its position or conduct 

additional analysis; 

(b) The comment raises an issue 

serious enough to warrant a substantive 

response to clarify or complete the 

record; or 

(c) The comment raises a relevant 

issue that was not previously addressed 

or considered by the NRC staff. 

(2) The comment proposes a change 

or an addition to the rule, and it is 

apparent that the rule would be 

ineffective or unacceptable without 

incorporation of the change or addition. 

(3) The comment causes the NRC staff 

to make a change (other than editorial) 

to the rule, CoC, or technical 

specifications. 

For detailed instructions on 

submitting comments, please see the 

companion proposed rule published in 

the Proposed Rule section of this issue 

of the Federal Register. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
4758 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 19 / Thursday, January 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

II. Background 

Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste 

Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, as 

amended, requires that ‘‘the Secretary 

[of the U.S. 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 that the [U.S. 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 ‘‘[the 

Commission] shall, by rule, establish 

procedures for the licensing of any 

technology approved by the 

Commission under Section 219(a) [sic: 

218(a)] for use at the site of any civilian 

nuclear power reactor.’’ 

To implement this mandate, the 

Commission approved dry storage of 

spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved 

casks under a general license by 

publishing a final rule in part 72 of Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR), ‘‘Licensing Requirements for 

the Independent Storage of Spent 

Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive 

Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater 

Than Class C Waste,’’ which added a 

new subpart K within 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,’’ which 

contains procedures and criteria for 

obtaining NRC approval of spent fuel 

storage cask designs. The NRC 

subsequently issued a final rule (73 FR 

70587; November 21, 2008) that 

approved the MAGNASTOR® System 

design and added it to the list of NRCapproved cask designs in 10 CFR 

72.214, ‘‘List of approved spent fuel 

storage casks,’’ as CoC No.1031. 

III. Discussion of Changes 

By letter dated June 18, 2013 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML13171A031), as 

supplemented September 6, 2013 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13261A278), 

September 19, 2013 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML13268A051 proprietary 

information—not for public disclosure), 

June 13, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14170A063), June 17, 2014 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML14170A022), and July 

17, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14199A501), NAC International 

(NAC) submitted an application for 

Amendment No. 4 of CoC No. 1031. The 

amendment makes changes to LCO 3.1.1 

in Technical Specification Appendix A 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML14272A479). 

Specifically, in the first table in section 

1 of LCO 3.1.1: 

• The table title is revised from ‘‘PWR 

Drying with 8 Hours TSC Transfer’’ to 

‘‘PWR TSC Transfer with Reduced 

Helium Backfill Time;’’ 

• In row 1, 4th column, the cask 

transfer time is changed from 8 to 600 

hours; 

• In row 2, 3rd column, the helium 

backfill time is changed from 0 to 7 

hours; and 

• In row 2, 4th column, the cask 

transfer time is changed from 8 to 70.5 

hours. 

Amendment No. 4 also corrects a 

typographical error in two required 

minimum actual areal boron densities in 

Technical Specification Appendix A, 

Section 4.1.1(a). In addition, Technical 

Specification Appendix B (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML14272A484), Table 

B2–5, provides new minimum 

additional decay times required before 

loading when the spent fuel contains 

nonfuel hardware. The revised technical 

specifications are identified in the 

preliminary Safety Evaluation Report 

(SER) (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14272A487). 

As documented in the preliminary 

SER, the NRC staff performed a detailed 

safety evaluation of the proposed CoC 

amendment request. There are no 

significant changes to cask design 

requirements in the proposed CoC 

amendment. Considering the specific 

design requirements for each accident 

condition, the design of the cask would 

prevent loss of containment, shielding, 

and criticality control. If there is no loss 

of containment, shielding, or criticality 

control, the environmental impacts 

would be insignificant. This amendment 

does not reflect a significant change in 

design or fabrication of the cask. In 

addition, any resulting occupational 

exposure or offsite dose rates from the 

implementation of Amendment No. 4 

would remain well within the 

applicable limits of 10 CFR part 20, 

‘‘Standards for Protection Against 

Radiation.’’ Therefore, the proposed 

CoC changes will not result in any 

radiological or non-radiological 

environmental impacts that significantly 

differ from the environmental impacts 

evaluated in the environmental 

assessment supporting the July 18, 1990, 

final rule (55 FR 29181) that amended 

10 CFR part 72 to provide for the storage 

of spent fuel under a general license in 

cask designs approved by the NRC. 

There will be no significant change in 

the types or amounts of any effluent 

released, no significant increase in 

individual or cumulative radiation 

exposure, and no significant increase in 

the potential for or consequences of 

radiological accidents from those 

analyzed in that environmental 

assessment. 

This direct final rule revises the 

MAGNASTOR® System listing in 10 

CFR 72.214 by adding Amendment No. 

4 to CoC No. 1031. The amendment 

consists of the changes previously 

described, as set forth in the revised 

CoC and technical specifications. The 

revised technical specifications are 

identified in the preliminary SER. 

The amended MAGNASTOR® System 

design, when used under the conditions 

specified in the CoC, the technical 

specifications, and the NRC’s 

regulations, will meet the requirements 

of 10 CFR part 72; therefore, adequate 

protection of public health and safety 

will continue to be ensured. When this 

direct final rule becomes effective, 

persons who hold a general license 

under 10 CFR 72.210, ‘‘General license 

issued,’’ may load spent nuclear fuel 

into MAGNASTOR® Storage Systems 

that meet the criteria of Amendment No. 

4 to CoC No. 1031 under 10 CFR 72.212, 

‘‘Conditions of general license issued 

under § 72.212.’’ 

IV. Voluntary Consensus Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 

104–113) requires that Federal agencies 

use technical standards 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 MAGNASTOR® System 

design listed in 10 CFR 72.214. This 

action does not constitute the 

establishment of a standard subject to 

Public Law 104–113. 

V. 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 

direct final 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, 

or the provisions of 10 CFR. Although 

an Agreement State may not adopt 

program elements reserved to the NRC, 

it may wish to inform its licensees of 

certain requirements via a mechanism 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 19 / Thursday, January 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 4759 

that is consistent with the particular 

State’s administrative procedure laws, 

but does not confer regulatory authority 

on the State. 

VI. Plain Writing 

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. 

L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to 

write documents in a clear, concise, and 

well-organized manner. The NRC has 

written this document to be consistent 

with the Plain Writing Act as well as the 

Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Plain 

Language in Government Writing,’’ 

published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31883). 

VII. Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant 

Environmental Impact: Availability 

A. The Action 

The action is to amend 10 CFR 72.214 

to revise the NAC International, Inc. 

MAGNASTOR® System listing within 

the ‘‘List of Approved Spent Fuel 

Storage Casks’’ to include Amendment 

No. 4 to CoC No. 1031. Under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and the NRC’s 

regulations in subpart A of 10 CFR part 

51, ‘‘Environmental Protection 

Regulations for Domestic Licensing and 

Related Regulatory Functions,’’ the NRC 

has determined that this rule, if 

adopted, would not be a major Federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. An 

environmental impact statement is 

therefore not required. The NRC has 

made a finding of no significant impact 

on the basis of this environmental 

assessment. 

B. The Need for the Action 

This direct final rule amends the CoC 

for the NAC International, Inc. 

MAGNASTOR® System design within 

the list of approved spent fuel storage 

casks that power reactor licensees can 

use to store spent fuel at reactor sites 

under a general license. Specifically, 

Amendment No. 4 changes the LCOs in 

the technical specifications for canister 

vacuum drying and helium backfill 

times. Amendment No. 4 also corrects a 

typographical error in two required 

minimum actual areal boron densities in 

Technical Specification Appendix A, 

Section 4.1.1(a). In addition, Technical 

Specification Appendix B, Table B2–5, 

provides new minimum additional 

decay times required before loading 

when the spent fuel contains nonfuel 

hardware. The revised technical 

specifications are identified in the 

preliminary SER. 

C. Environmental Impacts of the Action 

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

NRC issued an amendment to 10 CFR 

part 72 to provide for the storage of 

spent fuel under a general license in 

cask designs approved by the NRC. The 

potential environmental impact of using 

NRC-approved storage casks was 

initially analyzed in the environmental 

assessment for the 1990 final rule. The 

environmental assessment for this 

Amendment No. 4 tiers off of the 

environmental assessment for the July 

18, 1990, final rule. 

The MAGNASTOR® System is 

designed to mitigate the effects of design 

basis accidents that could occur during 

storage. Design basis accidents account 

for human-induced events and the most 

severe natural phenomena reported for 

the site and surrounding area. 

Postulated accidents analyzed for an 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation, the type of facility at which 

a holder of a power reactor operating 

license would store spent fuel in casks 

in accordance with 10 CFR part 72, 

include tornado winds and tornadogenerated missiles, a design basis 

earthquake, a design basis flood, an 

accidental cask drop, lightning effects, 

fires, explosions, and other incidents. 

Considering the specific design 

requirements for each accident 

condition, the design of the cask would 

prevent loss of containment, shielding, 

and criticality control. If there is no loss 

of confinement, shielding, or criticality 

control, the environmental impacts 

would be insignificant. 

This amendment does not reflect a 

significant change in design or 

fabrication of the cask. There are no 

significant changes to cask design 

requirements in the proposed CoC 

amendment. In addition, because there 

are no significant process changes, any 

resulting occupational exposures or 

offsite dose rates from the 

implementation of Amendment No. 4 

would remain well within 10 CFR part 

20 radiation safety limits. Therefore, the 

proposed CoC changes will not result in 

either radiological or non-radiological 

environmental impacts that differ 

significantly from the environmental 

impacts evaluated in the environmental 

assessment supporting the July 18, 1990, 

final rule. There will be no significant 

change in the types or amounts of any 

effluent released, no significant increase 

in individual or cumulative radiation 

exposures, and no significant increase 

in the potential for or consequences of 

radiological accidents. The staff 

documented these safety findings in the 

preliminary SER for this amendment. 

D. Alternative to the Action 

The alternative to this action is to 

deny approval of Amendment No. 4 and 

end the direct final rule. Consequently, 

any 10 CFR part 72 general licensee that 

seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into 

MAGNASTOR® System casks in 

accordance with the changes described 

in proposed Amendment No. 4 would 

have to request an exemption from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 and 

72.214. Under this alternative, 

interested licensees would have to 

prepare, and the NRC would have to 

review, a separate exemption request, 

thereby increasing the administrative 

burden on the NRC and the cost to each 

licensee. Because licensees could still 

receive approval for use of this cask 

through a different and more 

burdensome administrative process, 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action would be the same as or less than 

the no-action alternative. 

E. Alternative Use of Resources 

Approval of Amendment No. 4 to CoC 

No. 1031 would result in no significant 

irreversible commitments of resources. 

F. Agencies and Persons Contacted 

No agencies or persons outside the 

NRC were contacted in connection with 

the preparation of this environmental 

assessment. 

G. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The environmental impacts of the 

action have been reviewed under the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 51. Based 

on the foregoing environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that this 

direct final rule entitled, ‘‘List of 

Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: 

NAC International MAGNASTOR®

System; Certificate of Compliance No. 

1031, Amendment No. 4,’’ will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. The NRC has 

therefore determined that an 

environmental impact statement for this 

direct final rule is not necessary. 

VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

Statement 

This direct final rule does not contain 

any information collection 

requirements, and is therefore not 

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 

(OMB), Approval Number 3150–0132. 

Public Protection Notification 

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a request for information or an 

information collection requirement, 

unless the requesting document 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
4760 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 19 / Thursday, January 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

IX. Regulatory Analysis 

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

NRC issued an amendment to 10 CFR 

part 72 to provide for the storage of 

spent nuclear fuel under a general 

license in casks with designs approved 

by the NRC. Any nuclear power reactor 

licensee can use casks with NRCapproved designs to store spent nuclear 

fuel if the licensee notifies the NRC in 

advance, the spent fuel is stored under 

the conditions specified in the cask’s 

CoC, and the conditions of the general 

license are met. A list of NRC-approved 

cask designs is codified in 10 CFR 

72.214. The NRC issued a final rule (73 

FR 70687; November 21, 2008) that 

approved the MAGNASTOR® System 

design and added it to the list of NRCapproved cask designs in 10 CFR 72.214 

‘‘List of approved spent fuel storage 

casks,’’ as CoC No. 1031. 

On June 18, 2013, and as 

supplemented on September 6, 2013, 

June 13, 2014, June 17, 2014, and July 

17, 2014, NAC International, Inc. 

submitted an application to amend the 

MAGNASTOR® Cask System as 

described in Section III, ‘‘Discussion of 

Changes,’’ of this document. 

The alternative to this action is to 

withhold approval of Amendment No. 4 

and to require any 10 CFR part 72 

general licensee seeking to load spent 

nuclear fuel into the MAGNASTOR®

System cask under the changes 

described in Amendment No. 4 to 

request an exemption from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 and 

72.214. Under this alternative, each 

interested 10 CFR part 72 licensee 

would have to prepare, and the NRC 

would have to review, a separate 

exemption request, thereby increasing 

the administrative burden on the NRC 

and the costs to each interested licensee. 

Issuance of this direct final rule is 

consistent with previous NRC actions. 

Further, as documented in the 

preliminary SER and the environmental 

assessment, the direct final rule will 

ensure protection of public health and 

safety, and have no significant impact 

on the environment. This direct final 

rule has no significant identifiable 

impact or benefit on other Government 

agencies. Based on this regulatory 

analysis, 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 

therefore, this action is recommended. 

X. Regulatory Flexibility Certification 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), the NRC 

certifies that this direct final rule will 

not, if issued, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. This direct 

final rule affects only nuclear power 

plant licensees and NAC International, 

Inc. These entities do not fall within the 

definition of small entities set forth in 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act or the size 

standards established by the NRC (10 

CFR 2.810). 

XI. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

The NRC has determined that the 

backfit rule (10 CFR 72.62) does not 

apply to this direct final rule. Therefore, 

a backfit analysis is not required. This 

direct final rule revises the CoC No. 

1031 for the NAC International 

MAGNASTOR® System, as currently 

listed in 10 CFR 72.214, ‘‘List of 

Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks.’’ 

The revision consists of Amendment 

No. 4, which changes the title and 

specified numerical values of LCO 3.1.1, 

Section 1, first table entitled ‘‘PWR 

Drying with 8 Hours TSC Transfer.’’ 

Amendment No. 4 also corrects a 

typographical error in two required 

minimum actual areal boron densities in 

Technical Specification Appendix A, 

Section 4.1.1(a). In addition, Technical 

Specification Appendix B, Table B2–5, 

provides new minimum additional 

decay times required before loading 

when the spent fuel contains nonfuel 

hardware. The revised technical 

specifications are identified in the 

preliminary SER. 

Amendment No. 4 to CoC No. 1031 

for the MAGNASTOR® System was 

initiated by NAC International and was 

not submitted in response to new NRC 

requirements, or an NRC request for 

amendment. Amendment No. 4 applies 

only to new casks fabricated and used 

under Amendment No. 4. These changes 

do not affect existing users of the NAC 

International MAGNASTOR® System, 

and the current Amendment No. 3 

continues to be effective for existing 

users. While current CoC users may 

comply with the new requirements in 

Amendment No. 4, this would be a 

voluntary decision on their part. For 

these reasons, Amendment No. 4 to CoC 

No. 1031 does not constitute backfitting 

under 10 CFR 72.62 or 10 CFR 

50.109(a)(1), or otherwise represent an 

inconsistency with the issue finality 

provisions applicable to combined 

licenses in 10 CFR part 52. Accordingly, 

no backfit analysis or additional 

documentation addressing the issue 

finality criteria in 10 CFR part 52 has 

been prepared by the staff. 

XII. Congressional Review Act 

The Office of Management and Budget 

has not found this to be a major rule as 

defined in the Congressional Review 

Act. 

XIII. Availability of Documents 

The documents referenced in this 

direct final rule are available in the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS) 

using the Main Library (ML) accession 

numbers for the documents listed in the

Harmonization of Airworthiness 

Standards—Gust and Maneuver Load 

Requirements; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting the 

final rule, ‘‘Harmonization of 

Airworthiness Standards—Gust and 

Maneuver Load Requirements’’ (79 FR 

73462), published December 11, 2014. 

In the rule, the FAA amended certain 

airworthiness regulations for transport 

category airplanes to eliminate 

regulatory differences between the 

airworthiness standards of the FAA and 

European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA). It does not add new 

requirements beyond what 

manufacturers currently meet for EASA 

certification and does not affect current 

industry design practices. This final rule 

revises the pitch maneuver design loads 

criteria; revises the gust and turbulence 

design loads criteria; revises the 

application of gust loads to engine 

mounts, high lift devices, and other 

control surfaces; adds a ‘‘round-theclock’’ discrete gust criterion and a 

multi-axis discrete gust criterion for 

airplanes equipped with wing-mounted 

engines; revises the engine torque loads 

criteria; adds an engine failure dynamic 

load condition; revises the ground gust 

design loads criteria; revises the criteria 

used to establish the rough air design 

speed; and requires the establishment of 

a rough air Mach number. This 

document corrects errors in the rule by 

ensuring that certain letters in the 

included equations have the right 

formatting and therefore the correct 

meaning. 

DATES: This correction is effective 

February 9, 2015.
