4 II. Rulemaking Procedure

This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 10 to Certificate

of Compliance No. 1031 and does not include other aspects of th e NAC International,

Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System design. The NRC is using the direct final rul e

procedure to issue this amendment because it represents a limi ted and routine change

to an existing certificate of compliance that is expected to be non-controversial.

Adequate protection of public health and safety continues to be reasonably assured.

The amendment to the rule will become effective on January 18, 2023. However, if the

NRC receives any significant adv erse comment on this direct final rule by December 5,

2022, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws this action and will

subsequently address the comments received in a final rule as a response to the

companion proposed rule published in the Proposed Rules section of this issue of the

Federal Register, or as otherwise appropriate. In general, absent significant

modifications to the proposed revisions requiring republication, the NRC will not initiate a

second comment period on this action.

A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter explains why

the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to the ru les underlying premise or

approach, or would be ineffective or unacceptable without a cha nge. A comment is

adverse and significant if:

1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficie nt to require a

substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For exam ple, a substantive

response is required when:

a) The comment causes the NRC to reevaluate (or reconsider) it s position or

5 conduct additional analysis;

b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a sub stantive

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.

2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, a nd it is apparent

that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable without inco rporation of the change or

addition.

3) The comment causes the NRC to make a change (other than edi torial) to the

rule, certificate of compliance, or technical specifications.

III. Background

Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as ame nded, requires

that [t]he Secretary [of the Department of Energy] shall estab lish a demonstration

program, in cooperation with the private sector, for the dry st orage 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 r ule, approve for use at

the sites of civilian nuclear power reactors without, to the ma ximum extent practicable,

the need for additional site-specific approvals by the Commissi on. Section 133 of the

Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part, that [t]he Commissio n 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 civili an 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 p ublishing a final rule

6 that 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 Pow er 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 conta ins 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 70 587), that approved

the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System design and added it to the

list of NRC-approved cask designs in §72.214 as Certificate of Compliance No. 1031.

IV. Discussion of Changes

On December 9, 2019, NAC International, Inc. submitted a reques t to the NRC to

amend Certificate of Compliance No. 1031. The NAC Internationa l, Inc. supplemented

its request on the following dates: May 13, 2020, February 25, 2021, April 20, 2021, and

September 2, 2021. Amendment No. 10 revises the certificate of compliance by adding

a new metal storage overpack, which provides for additional str uctural strength and

radiation shielding.

As documented in the preliminary safety evaluation report, the NRC performed a

safety evaluation of the proposed certificate of compliance ame ndment request. The

NRC determined that this amendment does not reflect a significa nt change in design or

fabrication of the cask. Specifically, the NRC determined that the design of the cask

would continue to maintain confinement, shielding, and critical ity control in the event of

each evaluated accident condition per § 72.236. In addition, a ny resulting occupational

exposure or offsite dose rates from the implementation of Amend ment No. 10 would

remain well within the limits specified by 10 CFR part 20, Sta ndards for Protection

7 Against Radiation. Thus, the NRC found there will be no signi ficant change in the types

or amounts of any effluent released, no significant increase in the individual or

cumulative radiation exposure, and no significant increase in t he potential for or

consequences from radiological accidents per § 72.236.

The NRC staff determined that the amended NAC International In c.

MAGNASTOR Storage System cask design, when used under the conditions spe cified

in the certificate of compliance, the technical specifications, and the NRCs regulations,

will meet the requirements of 10 CFR part 72; therefore, adequa te protection of public

health and safety will continue to be reasonably assured. When this direct final rule

becomes effective, persons who hold a general license under § 7 2.210 may, consistent

with the license conditions under § 72.212, load spent nuclear fuel into NAC

International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System casks that meet the criteria of

Amendment No. 10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031.

V. Voluntary Consensus Standards

The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( Pub. L. 104-

113) requires that Federal agencies use technical standards tha t 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 revises the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System design listed in

§ 72.214, List of approved spent fuel storage casks. This ac tion does not constitute

the establishment of a standard that contains generally applica ble requirements.

VI. Agreement State Compatibility

8 Under the Agreement State Program Policy Statement approved by the

Commission on October 2, 2017, and published in the Federal Register on October 18,

2017 (82 FR 48535), this rule is classified as Compatibility Ca tegory NRC - Areas of

Exclusive NRC Regulatory Authority. The NRC program elements i n this category are

those that relate directly to areas of regulation reserved to t he NRC by the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the provisions of 10 CFR cha pter I. Therefore,

compatibility is not required for program elements in this cate gory. Although an

Agreement State may not adopt program elements reserved to the NRC, and the

Category NRC does not confer regulatory authority on the Stat e, the State may wish to

inform its licensees of certain requirements by means consisten t with the particular

States administrative procedure laws.

VII. Plain Writing

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federa l 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 we ll as the Presidential

Memorandum, Plain Language in Government Writing, published J une 10, 1998 (63

FR 31885).

VIII. Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant I mpact

Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amende d, and the

NRCs regulations in 10 CFR part 51, Environmental Protection Regulations for

9 Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions, the NRC h as determined that

this direct final rule, if adopted, would not be a major Federa l action significantly affecting

the quality of the human environment and, therefore, an environ mental impact statement

is not required. The NRC has made a finding of no significant impact on the basis of the

environmental assessment that follows.

A. The Proposed Action

The proposed action is to amend § 72.214 to revise the NAC Int ernational, Inc.

MAGNASTOR Storage System listing within the List of approved spent fuel storage

casks to include Amendment No. 10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031.

B. The Need for the Action

This direct final rule amends the certificate of compliance for the NAC

International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System design within the list of approved

spent fuel storage casks to allow power reactor licensees to st ore spent fuel at reactor

sites in casks with the approved modifications under a general license. Specifically,

Amendment No. 10 revises the certificate of compliance to add a new metal storage

overpack.

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 lic ense in cask designs

approved by the NRC. The potential environmental impact of using NRC-approved

storage casks was analyzed in the environmental assessment for the 1990 final rule.

The environmental assessment for this Amendment No. 10 tiers of f of the environmental

10 assessment for the July 18, 1990, final rule. Tiering on past environmental assessments

is a standard process under the National Environmental Policy A ct of 1969, as amended.

The NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage 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 s evere natural

phenomena reported for the site and surrounding area. Postulat ed 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 cas ks in accordance with 10

CFR part 72, can include tornado winds and tornado-generated mi ssiles, a design basis

earthquake, a design basis flood, an accidental cask drop, ligh tning effects, fire,

explosions, and other incidents.

This amendment does not reflect a significant change in design or fabrication of

the cask. Because there are no significant design or process c hanges, any resulting

occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the implementa tion of Amendment No.

10 would remain well within the 10 CFR part 20 limits. The NRC has also determined

that the design of the cask as modified by this rule would main tain confinement,

shielding, and criticality control in the event of an accident. Therefore, the proposed

changes will not result in any radiological or non-radiological environmental impacts that

significantly differ from the environmental impacts evaluated i n the environmental

assessment supporting the July 18, 1990, final rule. There wil l be no significant change

in the types or significant revis ions in the amounts of any eff luent released, no significant

increase in the individual or cumulative radiation exposures, a nd no significant increase

in the potential for, or consequences from, radiological accide nts. The NRC

documented its safety findings in the preliminary safety evalua tion report.

11 D. Alternative to the Proposed Action

The alternative to this action is to deny approval of Amendmen t No. 10 and not

issue the direct final rule. Consequently, any 10 CFR part 72 general licensee that

seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into NAC International, Inc. M AGNASTOR Storage

System in accordance with the changes described in proposed Ame ndment No.10 would

have to request an exemption from the requirements of §§ 72.212 and 72.214. Under

this alternative, interested licensees would have to prepare, a nd the NRC would have to

review, a separate exemption request, thereby increasing the ad ministrative burden

upon the NRC and the costs to e ach licensee. The environmental impacts would be

similar to the proposed action.

E. Alternative Use of Resources

Approval of Amendment No. 10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031 would

result in no irreversible commitment of resources.

F. Agencies and Persons Contacted

No agencies or persons outside the NRC were contacted in conne ction with the

preparation of this environmental assessment.

G. Finding of No Significant Impact

The environmental impacts of the action have been reviewed und er the

requirements in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the

NRCs regulations in subpart A of 10 CFR part 51, Environmenta l Protection

Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Funct ions. Based on the

foregoing environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that this direct final rule, List

12 of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage

System, Certificate of Compliance No. 1031, Amendment No. 10, will not have a

significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, the NR C has determined that

an environmental impact statement is not necessary for this dir ect final rule.

IX. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

This direct final rule does not contain any new or amended coll ections of

information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Existing collections of informat ion were approved by the Office of Management and

Budget, approval number 3150-0132.

Public Protection Notification

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not requir ed to respond

to, a request for information or an information collection requ irement unless the

requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Manage ment and Budget

control number.

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 signifi cant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities. This direct final rule a ffects only nuclear power

plant licensees and NAC International, Inc. These entities do not fall within the scope of

13 the definition of small entities set forth in the Regulatory Fl exibility Act or the size

standards established by the NRC (§ 2.810).

XI. 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 gen eral license in cask

designs approved by the NRC. Any nuclear power reactor license e can use NRC-

approved cask designs to store spent nuclear fuel if 1) it noti fies the NRC in advance; 2)

the spent fuel is stored under the conditions specified in the casks certificate of

compliance; and 3) the conditions of the general license are me t. A list of NRC-

approved cask designs is contained in § 72.214. On November 21, 2008 (73 FR

70587), the NRC issued an amendment to 10 CFR part 72 that appr oved the NAC

International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System design by adding it to the list of NRC-

approved cask designs in §72.214.

On December 9, 2019, and as supplemented on May 13, 2020, Febr uary 25,

2021, April 20, 2021, and September 2, 2021, NAC International, Inc. submitted a

request to amend the MAGNASTOR Storage System as described in Section IV,

Discussion of Changes, of this document.

The alternative to this action is to withhold approval of Amen dment No. 10 and to

require any 10 CFR part 72 general licensee seeking to load spe nt nuclear fuel into the

NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System under the changes described in

Amendment No. 10 to request an exemption from the requirements of §§ 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

14 increasing the administrative burden upon the NRC and the costs to each licensee.

Approval of this direct final rule is consistent with previous NRC actions. Further,

as documented in the preliminary safety evaluation report and e nvironmental

assessment, this direct final rule will have no adverse effect on public health and safety

or the environment. This direct final rule has no significant identifiable impact or benefit

on other government agencies. Based on this regulatory analysi s, the NRC concludes

that the requirements of this direct final rule are commensurat e with the NRC's

responsibilities for public health and safety and the common de fense and security;

therefore, this action is recommended.

XII. Backfitting and Issue Finality

The NRC has determined that the backfit rule (§ 72.62) does no t apply to this

direct final rule. Therefore, a backfit analysis is not requir ed. This direct final rule

revises Certificate of Compliance No. 1031 for the NAC Internat ional, Inc.

MAGNASTOR Storage System, as currently listed in § 72.214. The revision consists of

the changes in Amendment No. 10 previously described, as set fo rth in the revised

certificate of compliance and technical specifications.

Amendment No. 10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031 for the NAC

International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System was initiated by NAC International,

Inc. and was not submitted in response to new NRC requirements, or an NRC request

for amendment. Amendment No. 10 applies only to new casks fabr icated and used

under Amendment No. 10. These changes do not affect existing u sers of the NAC

International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System, and the current Amendment No. 9

continues to be effective for existing users. While current us ers of this storage system

15 may comply with the new requirements in Amendment No. 10, this would be a voluntary

decision on the part of current users.

For these reasons, Amendment No.10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031

does not constitute backfitting under § 72.62 or § 50.109(a)(1), or otherwise represent

an inconsistency with the issue finality provisions applicable to combined licenses in 10

CFR part 52. Accordingly, the NRC has not prepared a backfit a nalysis for this

rulemaking.

XIII. Congressional Review Act

This direct final rule is not a rule as defined in the Congress ional Review Act.
