SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 23, 2026, the NRC published a
direct final rule, ``Exceptions from Foreign Ownership, Control, or
Domination'' (91 FR 21719), amending its regulations in parts 50 and 54
of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to implement changes to
its regulations on foreign ownership, control, or domination of
utilization facilities to comply with section 301 of the Accelerating
Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024.
In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse
comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on
July 7, 2026.
The NRC received and docketed 10 comment submissions on the
companion proposed rule (91 FR 21732; April 23, 2026). Electronic
copies of the comments can be obtained from the Federal Rulemaking
website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2024-0218
and are also available in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML26139A043 and
ML26149A188. The NRC evaluated the comments against the criteria
described in the direct final rule and determined that none of the
comments submitted on the companion proposed rule are significant and
adverse. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as
scheduled.
