Amendment No. 3 became effective on July 17, 2023, and Amendment No. 4 became effective on October 14, 2025. The technical specifications for these direct final rules contained an incorrect table number in section 4.4.4, the `Justification and Compensatory Measures' for reference ASME code section NB-5520. On August 28, 2025, (ADAMS Accession No. ML25240B483), TN Americas LLC (TN) notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff that TN has identified an editorial, non-substantiative error which appears in the Proposed Technical Specifications of Amendment No. 5 to CoC No. 1042 and requested a correction to be included in the Final Technical Specifications for the subject Amendment. Specifically, TN requested that in section 4.4.4, the `Justification and Compensatory Measures' for reference ASME code section NB-5520 be revised to invoke Table NCA-7100-2, as opposed to the current listing of NCA-7000-1. In addition, TN also requested the correction be applied to the Technical Specifications of Amendments No. 3 and No. 4 of CoC No. 1042. The NRC staff confirmed that table NCA-7000-1 does not and has not appeared in ASME Code since the introduction of this text in the Final Technical Specifications of Amendment No. 3 to CoC No. 1042. However, Table NCA-7100-2 appears in ASME code endorsed by 10 CFR 50.55a since that time and contains the pertinent information on SNT-TC-1A indicated by the code case alternative. The NRC is correcting the typographical error in Appendix A, section 4.4.4, the “Justification and Compensatory Measures” for reference ASME code section NB-5520 be revised to invoke Table NCA-7100-2, as opposed to the current listing of NCA-7000-1. This document corrects the final rule by revising the section that contains this error.

As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the amendments because they will have no substantive impact and are of a minor and administrative nature dealing with a correction to a CFR section related to procedure and practice. Specifically, these amendments are to correct a minor editorial and non-substantive error. These amendments do not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Also, this final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists to make this rule effective upon publication. <LSTSUB> <HD SOURCE="HED">List of Subjects in 10 CFR Part 72</HD> Administrative practice and procedures, Hazardous waste, Indians, Intergovernmental relations, Nuclear energy, Penalties, Radiation protection, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Spent fuel, Whistleblowing. </LSTSUB> For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended; the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553; the NRC is adopting the following amendment to 10 CFR part 72: <HD SOURCE="HED">PART 72—LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INDEPENDENT STORAGE OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL, HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE, AND REACTOR-RELATED GREATER THAN CLASS C WASTE</HD> <REGTEXT TITLE="10" PART="72"> 1.
