On March 20, 2025 (90 FR 13047), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR® Storage System listing within the ‘‘List of approved spent fuel storage casks’’ to include Amendment No. 15. Amendment No. 15 revises the certificate of compliance to add a new variation of the Lightweight MAGNASTOR® Transfer Cask design, add a new concrete cask design, increase the maximum system heat load capacity, add new loading patterns, add a thermal shunt for short loading patterns, remove the 5 percent burnup penalty, increase Passive MAGNASTOR® Transfer Cask heat load, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 add two new pressurized-water reactor fuel types to support future operations, modify the transportable storage canister lid to allow additional clearance near the top center of the basket, and correct and clarify principal design criteria, operating procedures, and the acceptance criteria and maintenance program. This amendment also makes corresponding revisions to previously approved drawings for the concrete cask, Technical Specifications Appendix A and Appendix B, specific chapters of the final safety analysis report, and several license drawings. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on June 3, 2025. The NRC received and docketed one comment on the companion proposed rule (90 FR 13103; March 20, 2025). An electronic copy of the comment can be obtained from the Federal Rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC–2024–0216 and is also available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML25090A040. Specifically, the comment concerned the issue of the casks being able to withstand high temperatures and the issue of preventing leaks occurring at the site. The NRC evaluated the comment against the criteria described in the direct final rule and determined that the public comment received on this action did not warrant any additions or changes to the final rule, the certificate of compliance, or the accompanying technical specifications. The NRC is not making substantive changes to the rule; it is apparent that the rule is effective and acceptable as proposed, without the need for a substantive change or addition. The comment did not raise a relevant issue that was not previously addressed or considered by the NRC, and the comment did not cause the NRC to either (1) reevaluate or reconsider its position, or (2) conduct additional analyses. The NRC has determined that the comment was not a significant adverse comment and therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled. Dated: April 28, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier Inc. Model BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2025 (90 FR 8915). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF–2023–65, dated October 3, 2023, issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada (also referred to as ‘‘the MCAI’’). The MCAI states that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Failure to adhere to the specified airworthiness limitations could adversely affect the stability and controllability of the airplane on landing and could result in damage to the airplane. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2025–0016. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the costs. Conclusion These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, that authority has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed the following Bombardier documents: • Part 2, ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of Bombardier Global Express Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC), Publication No. BD– 700 TLMC, Revision 35, dated December 19, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 20, 2025 (90 FR 13047), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to revise the NAC 
International, Inc. MAGNASTOR[supreg] Storage System listing within the 
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 
15. Amendment No. 15 revises the certificate of compliance to add a new 
variation of the Lightweight MAGNASTOR[supreg] Transfer Cask design, 
add a new concrete cask design, increase the maximum system heat load 
capacity, add new loading patterns, add a thermal shunt for short 
loading patterns, remove the 5 percent burnup penalty, increase Passive 
MAGNASTOR[supreg] Transfer Cask heat load, add two new pressurized-
water reactor fuel types to support future operations, modify the 
transportable storage canister lid to allow additional clearance near 
the top center of the basket, and correct and clarify principal design 
criteria, operating procedures, and the acceptance criteria and 
maintenance program. This amendment also makes corresponding revisions 
to previously approved drawings for the concrete cask, Technical 
Specifications Appendix A and Appendix B, specific chapters of the 
final safety analysis report, and several license drawings.
    In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
effective on June 3, 2025. The NRC received and docketed one comment on 
the companion proposed rule (90 FR 13103; March 20, 2025). An 
electronic copy of the comment can be obtained from the Federal 
Rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-
2024-0216 and is also available in ADAMS under Accession No. 
ML25090A040. Specifically, the comment concerned the issue of the casks 
being able to withstand high temperatures and the issue of preventing 
leaks occurring at the site. The NRC evaluated the comment against the 
criteria described in the direct final rule and determined that the 
public comment received on this action did not warrant any additions or 
changes to the final rule, the certificate of compliance, or the 
accompanying technical specifications. The NRC is not making 
substantive changes to the rule; it is apparent that the rule is 
effective and acceptable as proposed, without the need for a 
substantive change or addition. The comment did not raise a relevant 
issue that was not previously addressed or considered by the NRC, and 
the comment did not cause the NRC to either (1) reevaluate or 
reconsider its position, or (2) conduct additional analyses. The NRC 
has determined that the comment was not a significant adverse comment 
and therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as 
scheduled.
