NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 72
[NRC-2015-0134]
RIN 3150-AJ62
List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec International,
HI-STORM Flood/Wind Multipurpose Storage System, Certificate of
Compliance No. 1032, Amendment No. 0, Revision 1
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its
spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Holtec International
(Holtec), HI-STORM (Holtec International Storage Module) Flood/Wind
(FW) Multipurpose Canister Storage (MPC) System listing within the
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to add Amendment No. 0,
Revision 1, to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1032. This revision
corrects the CoC's expiration date (editorial change), clarifies heat
load limits for helium backfill ranges, clarifies the wording for the
Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) on vent blockage, and revises
the vacuum drying system heat load.
DATES: The direct final rule is effective April 25, 2016, unless
significant adverse comments are received by October 28, 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direct final rule is withdrawn as a result of such comments, timely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 Commission is able to ensure consideration only for
comments received on or before this date. Comments received on this
direct final rule will also be considered to be comments on a companion
proposed rule published in the Proposed Rules section of this issue of
the Federal Register.

public or entering the comment into ADAMS.
II. Procedural Background
This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 0,
Revision 1, to CoC No. 1032 and does not include other aspects of the
HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System. The NRC is using the ``direct final
rule'' procedure to issue this revision because it represents a limited
and routine change to an existing CoC that is expected to be
noncontroversial. Adequate protection of public health and safety
continues to be ensured. The revision to the rule will become effective
on April 25, 2016. However, if the NRC receives significant adverse
comments on this direct final rule by April 25, 2016, 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 Rule 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 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-and-comment 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; The comment raises an
issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response to clarify or
complete the record; or
(b) 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 (TSs).
For detailed instructions on submitting comments, please see the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
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 ``[t]he 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 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 direct final rule on March 28, 2011 (76 FR
17019), that approved the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System and
added it to the list of NRC-approved cask designs in 10 CFR 72.214 as
CoC No. 1032.
IV. Discussion of Changes
By letter dated September 16, 2014, and as supplemented on March
12, 2015, Holtec submitted a request to the NRC to revise the initial
certificate issued as CoC No. 1032. Because this is a request to revise
the initial certificate, the revision is being referred to as
``Amendment No. 0, Revision 1.'' Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, will
supersede the initial version of the CoC and TSs that were effective on
June 13, 2011, in their entirety. The HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System is
a spent nuclear fuel storage system designed to be in full compliance
with the requirements of 10 CFR part 72. Amendment No. 0, Revision 1,
makes the following changes:
Corrects the expiration date to June 12, 2031.
Modifies Appendix A, Table 3-2, to show that the narrower
helium backfill range can be used for all canisters instead of only
those above a certain limit. Additionally, the footnotes on this table
are revised.
Revises the note in Appendix A, LCO 3.1.2, to clarify that
each of the inlet and outlet vents should be 50 percent unblocked.
Revises Appendix A, Table 3-1, to limit the MPC heat load
limit for using the vacuum drying system to a lower value, and revises
the table notes accordingly.
Revises Appendix B, Tables 2.3-3 and 2.3-4, to indicate
that the per cell heat load limits correspond to the lower MPC heat
load limit.
As documented in the safety evaluation report (SER), the NRC staff
performed a detailed safety evaluation of the proposed CoC revision
request. Correcting the CoC expiration date to reflect a 20-year versus
a 40-year certification is an editorial change that is consistent with
the original HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System application and SER. The
NRC staff also finds that CoC No. 1032, as revised, identifies the
necessary TSs to satisfy 10 CFR part 72 and that the applicable
criteria of 10 CFR 72.236 have been satisfied. The NRC staff concludes
that the proposed TS changes provide reasonable assurance that the HI-
STORM FW MPC Storage System will allow safe storage of spent nuclear
fuel.
This direct final rule revises the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage
System listing in 10 CFR 72.214 by adding Amendment No. 0, Revision 1,
to CoC No. 1032. The revision consists of the changes previously
described, as set forth in the revised CoC and TSs. The revised TSs are
identified in the SER.
The revised Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System, when used under
the conditions specified in the CoC, the TSs, 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. The NRC staff further determined that the issuance of the
revision will not be inimical to the common defense and security. When
this direct final rule becomes effective, persons who hold a general
license under 10 CFR 72.210 may load spent nuclear fuel into the HI-
STORM FW MPC Storage System that meets the criteria of Amendment No. 0,
Revision
[[Page 58197]]
1, to CoC No. 1032 under 10 CFR 72.212.
V. Voluntary Consensus Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104-113) requires that Federal agencies use technical standards that
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 will revise
the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System design listing in 10 CFR
72.214, ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks.'' This action does
not constitute the establishment of a standard that contains generally
applicable requirements.
VI. 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 that is consistent with the particular State's
administrative procedure laws, but does not confer regulatory authority
on the State.
VII. 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.
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).
VIII. Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant
Environmental Impact
A. The Action
The action is to amend 10 CFR 72.214 to revise the Holtec HI-STORM
FW MPC Storage System listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel
storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, to CoC No.
1032. 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 and, therefore, an environmental
impact statement is 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 revises the CoC for the Holtec HI-STORM FW
MPC Storage 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.
0, Revision 1, corrects the CoC expiration date, clarifies heat load
limits for helium backfill ranges, clarifies the wording for the LCO on
vent blockage, and revises the vacuum drying system heat load.
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. 0, Revision 1, tiers
off of the environmental assessment for the July 18, 1990, final rule.
Tiering on past environmental assessments is a standard process under
the National Environmental Policy Act.
Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage Systems are 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 tornado-generated missiles, a
design basis earthquake, a design basis flood, an accidental cask drop,
lightning effects, fire, explosions, and other incidents.
Considering the specific design requirements for each accident
condition, the design of the storage system would prevent loss of
containment, shielding, and criticality control. If there is no loss of
containment, shielding, or criticality control, the environmental
impacts would not be significant. There are no significant changes to
cask design requirements in the proposed CoC revision. In addition,
because there are no significant design or process changes, any
resulting occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the
implementation of Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, would remain well within
the 10 CFR part 20 limits. Therefore, the proposed CoC revision will
not result in any 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
significant revisions in the amounts of any effluent released, no
significant increase in the individual or cumulative radiation
exposure, and no significant increase in the potential for or
consequences from radiological accidents. The NRC staff documented its
safety findings in the SER for this amendment.
D. Alternative to the Action
The alternative to this action is to deny approval of Amendment No.
0, Revision 1, and end the direct final rule. Consequently, any 10 CFR
part 72 general licensee that seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into
Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage Systems in accordance with the changes
described in proposed Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, 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 upon the NRC and the costs to each
licensee. Therefore, the environmental impacts of the alternative to
the action would be the same or more than the impacts of the action.
E. Alternative Use of Resources
Approval of Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, to CoC No. 1032 would
result in no 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 in 10 CFR part 51. Based
[[Page 58198]]
on the foregoing environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that this
direct final rule entitled, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage
Casks: Holtec International, Inc., HI-STORM Flood/Wind Multipurpose
Storage System, Certificate of Compliance No. 1032, Amendment No. 0,
Revision 1,'' will not have a significant effect on the human
environment. Therefore, the NRC has determined that an environmental
impact statement is not necessary for this direct final rule.
IX. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This direct final rule does not contain any information collection
requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
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
Office of Management 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 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 Holtec. These
entities do not fall within the scope of 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. 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 cask designs approved by the NRC. Any nuclear power
reactor licensee can use NRC-approved cask designs to store spent
nuclear fuel if it 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 contained in 10 CFR 72.214.
On September 16, 2014, and as supplemented on March 12, 2015,
Holtec submitted an application to revise the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage
System, CoC No. 1032, as described in Section IV, ``Discussion of
Changes,'' of this document. The alternative to this action is to
withhold approval of Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, and to require any 10
CFR part 72 general licensee seeking to load spent nuclear fuel into
the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System under the changes described
in Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, 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 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 SER and the environmental
assessment, the 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 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.
XII. 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 CoC No. 1032 for the
Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System, as currently listed in 10 CFR
72.214, ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks.'' Amendment No. 0,
Revision 1, corrects the CoC expiration date, clarifies heat load
limits for helium backfill ranges, clarifies the wording for the LCO on
vent blockage, and revises the vacuum drying system heat loads.
Although Holtec has manufactured some casks under the existing CoC
No. 1032, Amendment No. 0, that is being revised by this direct final
rule, Holtec, as the vendor, is not subject to backfitting protection
under 10 CFR 72.62. Moreover, Holtec requested the change and has
requested to apply it to the existing casks manufactured under
Amendment No. 0. Therefore, even if the vendor were deemed to be an
entity protected from backfitting, this request represents a voluntary
change and is not backfitting for Holtec.
Under 10 CFR 72.62, general licensees are entities that are
protected from backfitting, and in this instance, Holtec, has provided
systems under CoC No.1032, Amendment No. 0, to a general licensee.
General licensees are required, pursuant to 10 CFR 72.212, to ensure
that each cask conforms to the terms, conditions, and specifications of
a CoC, and that each cask can be safely used at the specific site in
question. Because the casks delivered under CoC No. 1032, Amendment No.
0, now must be evaluated under 10 CFR 72.212 consistent with the
revisions in CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, this change in
the evaluation method and criteria constitutes a change in a procedure
required to operate an independent spent fuel storage installation
(ISFSI) and, therefore, would constitute backfitting under 10 CFR
72.62(a)(2). However, in this instance, the general licensee
voluntarily indicated their willingness to comply with the revised CoC,
as long as the general licensee is provided adequate time to implement
the revised CoC (ADAMS Accession No. ML15222A173). This direct final
rule accommodates that request by providing an effective date for the
final rule to April 25, 2016. Therefore, although the general licensee
is an entity protected from backfitting, this request represents a
voluntary change and is not backfitting for the general licensee.
In addition, the changes in CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 0, Revision
1, do not apply to casks which were manufactured to other amendments of
CoC No. 1032, and therefore, have no effect on current ISFSI licensees
using casks which were manufactured to other amendments of CoC No.
1032. For these reasons, approval of CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 0,
Revision 1, does not constitute backfitting for users of the HI-STORM
FW MPC Storage System which were manufactured to other amendments of
CoC No. 1032, under 10 CFR 72.62, 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1), or 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 NRC staff.
XIII. Congressional Review Act
This action is not a rule as defined in the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).
