II. Rulemaking Procedure This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 8 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1015 and does not include other aspects of the NAC International NACUMS
Universal Storage System cask system design. The NRC is using the direct final rule procedure to issue this amendment because it represents a limited and routine change to an existing certificate of compliance that is expected to be non-controversial. The NRC has determined that, with the requested changes, adequate protection of public health and safety will continue to be reasonably assured. The amendment to the rule will become effective on October 19, 2021. However, if the NRC receives any significant adverse comment on this direct final rule by September 7, 2021, 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. 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 rules 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 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.
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 to make a change other than editorial to the rule, certificate of compliance, or technical specifications.
III. Background Section 218a of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act 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 Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part, that the Commission shall, by rule, establish procedures for the licensing of any technology approved by the Commission under section 219a sic:
218a 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 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 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 casks approved for use under the terms, conditions, and specifications of their certificate of compliance or an amended certificate of compliance pursuant to this general license are listed in 72.214. The NRC
subsequently issued a final rule on October 19, 2000 65 FR 62581, that approved the NAC International NAC
UMS Universal Storage System cask system design and added it to the list of NRC-approved cask designs in 72.214
as Certificate of Compliance No. 1015.
