Casks: NAC International, Inc., 

MAGNASTOR® System, Certificate of 

Compliance No. 1031, Amendment 

No. 5 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is proposing to 

amend its spent fuel storage regulations 

by revising the NAC International, Inc., 

MAGNASTOR® System listing within 

the ‘‘List of approved spent fuel storage 

casks’’ to include Amendment No. 5 to 

Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 

1031. Amendment No. 5 makes 

numerous changes to the Technical 

Specifications (TSs) including adding a 

new damaged fuel assembly, revising 

the maximum or minimum enrichments 

for three fuel assembly designs, adding 

four-zone preferential loading for 

pressurized-water reactor fuel 

assemblies and increasing the maximum 

dose rates in limiting condition for 

operation 3.3.1, and other editorial 

changes to Appendices A and B of the 

TSs. 

DATES: Submit comments by May 15, 

2015. Comments received after this date

comment submissions into ADAMS. 

The NRC does not routinely edit 

comment submissions to remove 

identifying or contact information. 

If you are requesting or aggregating 

comments from other persons for 

submission to the NRC, then you should 

inform those persons not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

they do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in their comment submission. 

Your request should state that the NRC 

does not routinely edit comment 

submissions to remove such information 

before making the comment 

submissions available to the public or 

entering the comment into ADAMS. 

II. Procedural Background 

This proposed rule is limited to the 

changes contained in Amendment No. 5 

to CoC No. 1031 and does not include 

other aspects of the NAC International, 

Inc., MAGNASTOR® System design. 

Because the NRC considers this action 

noncontroversial and routine, the NRC 

is publishing this proposed rule 

concurrently with a direct final 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. The direct final 

rule will become effective on June 29, 

2015. However, if the NRC receives 

significant adverse comments on this 

proposed rule by May 15, 2015, then the 

NRC will publish a document that 

withdraws the direct final rule. If the 

direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

20172 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 72 / Wednesday, April 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

will address the comments received in 

response to these proposed revisions in 

a subsequent final rule. Absent 

significant modifications to the 

proposed revisions requiring 

republication, the NRC will not initiate 

a second comment period on this action 

in the event the direct final rule is 

withdrawn. 

A significant adverse comment is a 

comment where the commenter 

explains why the rule would be 

inappropriate, including challenges to 

the rule’s underlying premise or 

approach, or 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 (or reconsider) 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 TSs. 

For additional procedural information 

and the regulatory analysis, see the 

direct final rule published in the Rules 

and Regulations section of this issue of 

the Federal Register. 

III. Background 

Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste 

Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, as 

amended, requires that ‘‘the 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 that 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 ‘‘[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 which added a 

new subpart K in part 72 of Title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) 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 in 

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 on 

November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70587), that 

approved the NAC International, Inc., 

MAGNASTOR® System design and 

added it to the list of NRC-approved 

cask designs in 10 CFR 72.214 as CoC 

No.1031. 

IV. Plain Writing 

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. 

L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to 

write documents in a clear, concise, 

well-organized manner that also follows 

other best practices appropriate to the 

subject or field and the intended 

audience. 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). 

The NRC requests comment on the 

proposed rule with respect to clarity 

and effectiveness of the language used. 

V. Availability of Documents 

The documents identified in the
