ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations revising the Transnuclear, Inc., Standardized NUHOMS ® -24P, -52B, and -61BT cask system listing within the “List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks” to include Amendment No. 5 to the Certificate of Compliance. Amendment No. 5 would modify the present cask system design to add another dry shielded canister (DSC), designated NUHOMS ® -32PT DSC, to the authorized contents of the Standardized NUHOMS ® -24P, -52B, and -61BT cask system. This canister is designed to accommodate 32 pressurized water reactor assemblies with or without Burnable Poison Rod assemblies. It is designed for use with the existing NUHOMS ® Horizontal Storage Module and NUHOMS ® Transfer Cask under a general license. DATES: Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or before September 18, 2003. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any one of the following methods. Please include the following number (RIN 3150-AH26) in the subject line of your comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information see the direct final rule published in the final rules section of this Federal Register . Procedural Background This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment 5 to CoC No. 1004 and does not include other aspects of the Standardized NUHOMS ® -24P, -52B, and -61BT cask system design. The NRC is using the “direct final rule procedure” to issue this amendment 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. Because NRC considers this action noncontroversial and routine, the proposed rule is being published concurrently as a direct final rule. The direct final rule will become effective on November 3, 2003. However, if the NRC Federal Register . 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, in a substantive response: (a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or conduct additional analysis; (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For example, in a substantive response: (a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or conduct additional analysis; (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or (c) 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 CoC or Technical Specifications. These comments will be addressed in a subsequent final rule. The NRC will not initiate a second comment period on this action.
