SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 28, 2005 (70 FR 9501), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in 10 CFR Part 72 to revise the Standardized Advanced NUHOMS® System listing within the “List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks” to include Amendment No. 1 to CoC No. 1029. This amendment adds another Dry Shielded Canister, designated NUHOMS®-24PT4, to the authorized contents of the Standardized Advanced NUHOMS® System. Also, the rule was amended to correct a typographical error that incorrectly stated the expiration date of the CoC. In the direct final rule, NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become final on May 16, 2005. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become effective as scheduled.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of April, 2005.
