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.''
