NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-8]


Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2505, 
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Independent Spent Fuel Storage 
Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
issued Amendment No. 5 to Materials License No. SNM-2505 held by 
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) for the receipt, possession, 
storage, and transfer of spent fuel at the Calvert Cliffs independent 
spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), located in Calvert County, 
Maryland. The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
    By application dated July 26, 2001, CCNPP requested an amendment to 
its ISFSI license to revise Technical Specifications 2.3 to remove the 
transfer cask drop height limit and Technical Specification 6.3 to 
revise the semi-annual environmental reporting period to be consistent 
with the annual reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a(2). This 
amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules 
and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as 
required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 
CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been 
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether 
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the 
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified.
    The Commission has determined that, pursuant to the categorical 
exclusion provisions of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10), an environmental 
assessment need not be prepared in connection with issuance of the 
amendment.
    The NRC maintains an Agencywide Documents Access and Management 
System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC's public 
documents. These documents may be accessed through NRC's Public 
Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at http://www.nrc.gov/nrc/adams/index.html. If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there are 
problems in accessing documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC 
Public Document Room Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, 
or by e-mail to [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of October 2001.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
E. William Brach,
Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety 
and Safeguards.
