SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has received correspondence
requesting clarification of the number of comment submissions received
on the proposed rule, ``The Sunset Rule,'' (90 FR 55699; December 3,

comment submissions; only one version of four identical comments from
the same individual has been posted to the docket. This document
clarifies the administrative record for the rulemaking action.
NRC has included on the docket the two clarification requests; also
on the docket is a submission from the Small Business Administration's
Office of Advocacy, dated January 12, 2026, after the close of the
comment period. The Office of Advocacy listed seven rules for NRC
consideration that have been suggested by small entities. The NRC has
been evaluating aspects of these rules during a wholesale review of its
regulations at 10 CFR chapter I. All stakeholders will have opportunity
to comment on NRC's proposals in a forthcoming set of proposed rules.
The NRC will continue to consider regulatory matters affecting small
entities when conducting sunset activities and Regulatory Flexibility
Act section 610 reviews.
