SUMMARY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of April 21, 2025, for the direct final rule that was published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2025.

Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0 through 2 updates the CoC appendix A technical specifications for radiation protection and the associated bases information to clearly articulate the basis for the dose rate limits for the closure lids, modify the dose rate limit values and the description of the location of the dose rate measurements, and make other editorial changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On February 4, 2025 (90 FR 8861), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise Amendment Nos. 0 through 2 to CoC No. 1040 for the Holtec International, HI-STORM UMAX Cannister Storage System. Revision 1 to Amendment Nos. 0 through 2 update the CoC appendix A technical specifications for radiation protection and the associated bases information to clearly articulate the basis for the dose rate limits for the closure lids, modify the dose rate limit values and the description of the location of the dose rate measurements, and make other editorial changes. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on April 21, 2025. The NRC received one comment on the direct final rule that was out of scope and not significantly adverse. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled.
