SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 3 to Materials License SNM-2507 held by Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) for the receipt, possession, transfer, and storage of spent fuel at the North Anna Independent Spent Fuel Installation (ISFSI), located in Louisa County, Virginia. The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.

By application dated September 15, 2004, Dominion requested to amend its ISFSI license to revise Technical Specifications (TS). The revisions change the reference location where the plant specific titles and TS titles are correlated and relocate the Quality Assurance Program facility staff qualification requirements. This amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.

In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the action should be rescinded or modified. Also in connection with this action, the Commission determined that the action could be classified as a Categorical Exemption under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11).
