    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On September 5, 2024 (89 FR 72299), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations by revising the NAC International Inc. MAGNASTOR® Storage System listing within the “List of approved spent fuel storage casks” to include Amendment No. 13 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031. Amendment No. 13 amends the certificate of compliance to add a new type of radioactive contents to be stored inside the canister, use an alternative concrete compressive strength, and add a new design configuration to accommodate the new contents.

    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on November 19, 2024. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled.

    Dated: October 11, 2024.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

    Aaron Sanders,

    Acting Chief, Regulatory Analysis and Rulemaking Support Branch, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
