NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2015-0070]
RIN 3150-AJ59


Regulatory Improvements for Production and Utilization Facilities 
Transitioning to Decommissioning: Correction

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a 
proposed rule that was published in the Federal Register on March 3, 
2022. The proposed rule would amend the NRC's regulations that relate 
to the decommissioning of production and utilization facilities to 
maintain a safe, effective, and efficient decommissioning process; 
reduce the need for license amendment requests and exemptions from 
existing regulations; address other decommissioning issues deemed 
relevant by the NRC; and support the NRC's Principles of Good 
Regulation. This action is necessary to correct a reference.

DATES: The correction takes effect on May 6, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Please refer to Docket ID NRC-2015-0070 when contacting the 
NRC about the availability of information for this action. You may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction

    In the Federal Register (FR) on March 3, 2022, in proposed rule FR 
Doc. 2022-03131, the following corrections are made:
    1. On page 12301, under ``O. Removal of License Conditions and 
Withdrawal of Orders,'' in the center column, beginning with the first 
full sentence through the end of the paragraph, the text is corrected 
to read, ``The Mitigation of Beyond-Design-Basis Events rule 
subsequently moved Sec.  50.54(hh)(2) to Sec.  50.155(b)(2). As a 
result, neither Order EA-06-137 nor the license condition is necessary. 
Accordingly, the NRC proposes finding that good cause is shown to 
rescind Order EA-06-137 for each licensee that received the order. In 
addition, because Sec.  50.155(b)(2) provides the same requirements as 
the license condition associated with Order EA-06-0137, the NRC 
proposes deeming the license condition removed from each applicable 
nuclear power reactor license.''
    2. On page 12301, under ``O. Removal of License Conditions and 
Withdrawal of Orders,'' in the center column, beginning with the last 
sentence through the third column, end of the first paragraph, the text 
is corrected to read, ``Because licensees comply with both the 
regulations and Mitigation Strategy License Condition via the same 
guidance, such that the former Sec.  50.54(hh)(2) requirements 
encompass the license condition requirements, the NRC proposes 
concluding that Sec.  50.155(b)(2) fully replaces the requirements that 
exist in the Mitigation Strategy License Condition and deeming that the 
Mitigation Strategy License Conditions imposed in 2007 are removed from 
the licenses for those licensees that received that license 
condition.''
