Supplementary Information

On July 23, 2026 (91 FR 46243), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to include Amendment No. 10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1032. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on October 6, 2026. The NRC received and docketed three comment submissions on the companion proposed rule (91 FR 46314; July 23, 2026). Electronic copies of the comments can be obtained from the Federal Rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2026-2476 and are also available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML26244A087. The NRC evaluated the comments against the criteria described in the direct final rule and determined that the comments were not significant and adverse. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled. Dated: September 1, 2026. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
