10 CFR Ch. I

Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing its 
semiannual regulatory agenda in accordance with Public Law 96-354, The 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 
Planning and Review. The agenda is a compilation of all rules on which 
the NRC has recently completed action or has proposed or is considering 
action. This issuance updates any action occurring on rules since 
publication of the last semiannual agenda on December 13, 2004 (69 FR 
74244).

ADDRESSES: Comments on any rule in the agenda may be sent to the 
Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and Adjudications 
Staff. Comments may also be hand delivered to the One White Flint North 
Building, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, between 7:30 a.m. 
and 4:15 p.m., Federal workdays. Comments received on rules for which 
the comment period has closed will be considered if it is practical to 
do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given except as to 
comments received on or before the closure dates specified in the 
agenda.

     The agenda and any comments received on any rule listed in the 
agenda are available for public inspection and copying for a fee at 
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Public Document Room, One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room O-1F21, Rockville, 
Maryland.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information concerning NRC 
rulemaking procedures or the status of any rule listed in this agenda, 
contact Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division 
of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone 301-415-
7163 (e-mail: [email protected]). Persons outside the Washington, DC, 
metropolitan area may call, toll-free: 1-800-368-5642. For further 
information on the substantive content of any rule listed in the 
agenda, contact the individual listed under the heading Agency Contact 
for that rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information contained in this semiannual 
publication is updated to reflect any action that has occurred on rules 
since publication of the last NRC semiannual agenda on December 13, 
2004 (69 FR 74244). Within each group, the rules are ordered according 
to the Regulation Identifier Number (RIN).

     The information in this agenda has been updated through March 
18, 2005. The date for the next scheduled action under the heading 
Timetable is the date the rule is scheduled to be published in the 
Federal Register. The date is considered tentative and is not 
binding on the Commission or its staff. The agenda is intended to 
provide the public early notice and opportunity to participate in 
the NRC rulemaking process. However, the NRC may consider or act on 
any rulemaking even though it is not included in the agenda.

    The NRC agenda lists all open rulemaking actions. Four rules 
affect small entities.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of March 2005.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)                 Proposed Rule Stage


  



_______________________________________________________________________




3970. FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAMS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 26

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
ensure compatibility with the Department of Health and Human Services 
guidelines, eliminate or modify unnecessary requirements in some areas, 
clarify the Commission's original intent of the rule, and improve 
overall program effectiveness and efficiency and establish threshold 
for the control of working hours at nuclear power plants to ensure that 
working hours in excess of the thresholds are controlled through a 
risk-informed deviation process. Because of the issues raised in 
response to the earlier affirmed (fitness for duty) rule, a new 
proposed rule will be published, including provisions to provide 
significantly greater assurance that worker fatigue does not adversely 
affect the operational safety of nuclear power plants. This new 
proposed rule is scheduled to be provided to the Commission by June 1, 
2005. This proposed rule subsumes the proposed rule ``Nuclear Power 
Plant Worker Fatigue (RIN 3150-AG99).'' This rulemaking would address 
the petition for rulemaking submitted by the Virginia Electric and 
Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1) and a petition for rulemaking 
submitted by Barry Quigley (PRM-26-2) related to worker fatigue.

3971. EARLY SITE PERMITS; STANDARD DESIGN CERTIFICATIONS; AND COMBINED 
LICENSES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 2; 10 CFR 20; 10 CFR 50; 10 CFR 51

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's requirements 
for early site permits, standard design certifications, and combined 
licensees for nuclear power plants, and for other licensing processes. 
The amendments are based on the NRC staff's experience with the 
previous design certification reviews and on discussions with 
stakeholders about the early site permit (ESP), design certification, 
and combined license (COL) processes. This action is expected to 
improve the effectiveness of the licensing processes for future 
applicants. The rulemaking also would make conforming clarifications 
and corrections to the NRC's regulations.
The NRC is proposing to reorganize 10 CFR part 52 to establish a 
separate section for each of the seven licensing processes currently 
described in 10 CFR part 52 (early site permits, early site reviews, 
standard design certification, standard design approvals, combined 
licenses, manufacturing licenses, and duplicate design licenses). The 
purpose of this reorganization is to clarify that each licensing 
process has equal standing. In addition, several subparts would be 
reserved for future licensing processes. No substantive changes are 
intended by the incorporation of current appendices M, N, O, and Q into 
the new subparts in 10 CFR part 52.
The NRC is also proposing to retitle 10 CFR part 52 as Additional 
Licensing Processes for Nuclear Power Plants to clarify that the 
licensing processes in 10 CFR part 52 are in addition to and supplement 
the two-step licensing process in 10 CFR part 50 and the license 
renewal process in 10 CFR part 54, and are not limited to the early 
site permit, standard design certification, and combined license 
processes as the current title implies.

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Required: No

Small Entities Affected: No

Government Levels Affected: None

Additional Information: The proposed rule would amend section 52.1 to 
clarify that all seven licensing processes are within the scope of 10 
CFR part 52. Sections within current appendices M, N, O, and Q would 
also become new sections of the revised part. In addition, the proposed 
rule would reserve sections for future licensing processes. In doing 
so, the NRC hopes to convey that 10 CFR part 52 is the preferred 
location in 10 CFR for nuclear power plant licensing processes. The 
proposed rule subsumed the rulemaking, ``Standardized Plant Designs, 
Early Review of Sites Suitability Issues; Clarifying Amendments`` (RIN 
3150-AE25), that would remove redundant appendices M, N, O, and Q from 
part 50. The part 52 rulemaking plan (SECY-98-282) was approved by the 
Commission on January 14, 1999.

3972. REEVALUATION OF POWER REACTOR PHYSICAL PROTECTION REGULATIONS AND 
POSITION ON A DEFINITION OF RADIOLOGICAL SABOTAGE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 73

Legal Deadline: None

[[Page 27989]]

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
require each power reactor licensee to establish and maintain an onsite 
security program and organization with the objective of providing high 
assurance that licensed activities do not constitute an unreasonable 
risk to public health and safety as a result of radiological sabotage 
by design basis threat (DBT). To achieve the general objective, the 
regulation requires that onsite security programs and security 
organizations be designed to prevent core damage and/or spent fuel 
damage. The rulemaking uses risk insights to determine which plant 
systems need protection.

3973. CONTROLLING THE DISPOSITION OF SOLID MATERIALS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 20

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
evaluate alternatives for controlling the disposition of solid 
materials with very low, or no levels of radioactivity. Current 
practice is to, on a case-by-case basis, either apply Regulatory Guide 
1.86 surface contamination values or determine that there is no 
detectable activity using environmental measurements methods. In 
addition, there are no current release levels established generally for 
volumetrically contaminated materials. An examination of approaches to 
the control of disposition of solid materials would help the NRC staff 
evaluate the cost effectiveness of means to handle requests for 
clearance of materials during both operation and decommissioning.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 50

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
allow for a risk-informed alternative to the present maximum loss-of-
coolant accident (LOCA) break size. This rulemaking would also address 
a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute 
(PRM-50-75).

3975. ELIMINATION OF REQUIREMENT TO SUBMIT ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 50

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
eliminate the reporting requirement in 10 CFR 50.71(b), which requires 
that licensees for production and utilization facilities submit annual 
financial reports, including certified financial statements, to the 
Commission.
The proposed rule would eliminate the costs to licensees of submitting 
their annual financial reports and the costs to the NRC of processing 
those submittals. The cost savings are relatively small, but it is 
expected that the costs associated with the rulemaking will be 
justified by the cost savings from eliminating the reporting 
requirement. The elimination of the report will also serve to fulfill a 
Congressional mandate to address outdated or paperwork-oriented 
requirements.

that: (1) Licensees would not be required, unless a specific request 
was made by a worker, to provide an annual report to a worker of their 
radiation dose if a worker received less than two percent of the limits 
defined in 10 CFR part 20; (2) licensees for production and utilization 
facilities governed by 10 CFR part 50 would not need to label 
containers in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1904, ``Labeling containers,`` 
if the containers met conditions such as being clearly identifiable as 
containing radioactive materials, being accessible only to trained 
individuals, and being located in an area posted pursuant to 10 CFR 
20.1902, ''Posting requirements``; and (3) licensees would no longer 
need to attempt to obtain records of a worker's cumulative radiation 
dose unless the worker was to be involved in a planned special 
exposure. In addition, the staff is considering using this opportunity 
to propose a change to 10 CFR 20.1003, ``Definitions,'' to clarify the 
definition of total effective dose equivalent (TEDE).

jurisdiction nuclear materials which are not of significance from a 
nuclear proliferation perspective. The responsibility for the licensing 
of exports of nuclear grade graphite for non-nuclear end use will be 
transferred to the Department of Commerce (DOC). The DOC, which has 
concurred in this rule, will issue a direct final rule that will place 
these exports under its jurisdiction. The DOC direct final rule will be 
published concurrently and will become effective on the same date as 
the NRC's direct final rule.

3991. [bull] REVISION OF FEE SCHEDULES; FEE RECOVERY, FY 2005

Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 170; 10 CFR 171

Legal Deadline: Other, Statutory, September 30, 2005, Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended.

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's licensing, 
inspection, and annual fees charged to NRC licensees and applicants for 
an NRC license. The rulemaking is necessary to recover, through the 
assessment of fees, approximately 90 percent of the NRC's budget 
authority for Fiscal Year 2005, less the amounts appropriated from the 
Nuclear Waste Fund and General Fund as required by the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990, as amended.
The FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act amended 
OBRA-90 to decrease the NRC's fee recovery amount by two percent per 
year beginning in FY 2001, until the fee recovery amount is 90 percent 
for FY 2005. The purpose of this amendment is to address the fairness 
and equity concerns related to charging NRC license holders for agency 
expenses that do not provide a direct benefit to the licensee. The 
dollar amount to be recovered for FY 2005 is approximately $540.7 
million. OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the fees for FY 2005 be 
collected by September 30, 2005.

3997. UPDATE FUEL PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS AND OTHER FUEL CYCLE ISSUES

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2011; 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 4321; 42 USC 5841; 42 
USC 5842

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 51

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by 
addressing uranium fuel cycle environmental data (Table S-3) and the 
environmental effects of transportation of fuel and waste data (Table 
S-4). In section 51.51, the environmental data would be reestimated and 
reflect changes in the structure and activities of the fuel cycle and 
the availability of better data. Estimates of releases of radon-222 and 
technetium-99 would be added to Table S-3. The addition of a specific 
value for radon-222 would address the outstanding portion of petition 
for rulemaking PRM-51-1, submitted by the New England Coalition on 
Nuclear Pollution. To provide immediate relief to the petitioners' 
request, the Commission published a final rule on March 14, 1977 (42 FR 
13803), that removed the original value for radon-222 from Table S-3 so 
that it became subject to case-specific litigation. It was anticipated 
that the Commission would add a specific value for radon-222, but the 
Commission deferred action until a general updating of Table S-3 is 
undertaken. For section 51.52, the environmental impact estimates would 
be reestimated to reflect the use of more highly enriched fuel and 
discharge of more highly irradiated fuels from a reactor, as well as 
many changes needed to update fuel cycle process and technologies.
This rulemaking would result in current and more accurate estimates of 
the environmental impact of licensing a new plant, and would eliminate 
the requirement to review the contribution to environmental impacts 
from radon-222 and technetium-99 in individual plant reviews. This rule 
is being reissued as a proposed rule, and would update the initial 
rulemaking effort to address newly emerging issues and research.

Abstract: The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was 
published to request public comment, information, and recommendations 
on contemplated amendments to the Commission's regulations governing 
the release of radionuclides from licensed nuclear facilities into 
sanitary sewer systems. By incorporating current sewer treatment 
technologies, the contemplated rulemaking would improve the control of 
radioactive materials released to sanitary sewer systems by licensed 
nuclear facilities. Through the Interagency Steering Committee on 
Radiation Standards (ISCORS), the NRC and the Environmental Protection 
Agency conducted a joint survey of sewage treatment plants. The results 
of the final report of the joint survey were considered in the 
Commission's denial of the petition for rulemaking submitted by the 
Northeast Ohio Sewer District (PRM-20-22). A notice denying the 
petition was published in the Federal Register on January 27, 2005 (70 
FR 3898). The staff is considering public comments and whether to 
withdraw this ANPRM.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 71; 10 CFR 73

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) invited 
early input from affected parties and the public on the issues 
associated with the advance notification of Indian tribes of spent fuel 
shipments. The Department of Energy (DOE) has indicated that it intends 
to comply with NRC's physical protection requirements for shipments 
under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act; however, its current practices 
conflict with NRC regulations. For example, DOE has asked for and will 
continue to ask for exemptions from the shipment itinerary information 
requirements of foreign research reactor fuel. DOE, as a courtesy, 
provides Indian tribes with notification of spent fuel shipments. NRC's 
current regulations do not address notification of Indian tribes. 
Further, DOE has developed a satellite tracking system to monitor the 
status of spent fuel shipments at all times. Distribution of this 
status information to parties other than Governors' designees is also 
not compatible with NRC regulations. A rulemaking plan was approved by 
the Commission on February 20, 2001. This rulemaking was put on hold by 
the Commission pending review of NRC rules in response to events of 
September 11, 2001.

4000. INTEGRATED RULEMAKING FOR DECOMMISSIONING NUCLEAR POWER REACTORS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 50

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: A staff requirements memorandum dated June 23, 1999, directed 
the NRC staff to consider an integrated, risk-informed decommissioning 
rule rather than individual rulemakings to address emergency 
preparedness, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and backfit for 
nuclear power plants that are being decommissioned. SECY-99-168, dated 
June 30, 1999, recommended that the integrated approach be approved and 
outlined staff plans for pursuing such a rulemaking. Accordingly, the 
staff has subsumed previous rulemaking activities in the areas of 
emergency planning, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and 
backfit into one integrated rulemaking effort. This rulemaking would 
apply to licensees who certified, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a), that 
they have permanently ceased facility operation(s) and have permanently 
removed fuel from the reactor vessel. The Commission approved this 
approach in an SRM dated December 21, 1999. This rulemaking also would 
address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the North Carolina 
Public Utility Commission (PRM-50-57).

Additional Information: In SECY-00-0145, dated June 28, 2000, the NRC 
staff recommended a decommissioning rulemaking plan in the areas of 
emergency planning, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and 
backfit (the integrated decommissioning rulemaking plan). The 
rulemaking plan relied on a draft decommissioning risk study as the 
basis for its recommendations. The Commission returned the rulemaking 
plan to the staff for rework in September 2000, based on changes to the 
decommissioning risk study findings. The decommissioning risk study, 
NUREG-1738, was issued in January 2001. After assessing the findings in 
the risk study, the staff presented a policy options paper to the 
Commission, SECY-01-0100, dated June 4, 2001, that provided options and 
made recommendations on issues to be addressed in the integrated 
rulemaking. Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the 
NRC staff recommended and the Commission approved the withdrawal of 
SECY-01-0101 because of the likely changes in the staff's position on 
decommissioning plant safeguards. The decommissioning policy position 
will be revisited when a broad-scope NRC safeguards policy is developed 
in response to potential terrorist acts at nuclear facilities. The 
schedule for the integrated rulemaking cannot be determined at this 
time.

Abstract: The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was 
published seeking stakeholder input on three proposed regulatory 
options and whether entombment was a viable decommissioning 
alternative. In SECY 02-0191 (October 25, 2002), NRC staff proposed 
deferring the rulemaking until the Office of Nuclear Regulatory 
Research has conducted research to develop a sound technical basis for 
an entombment option, estimated in 2005. The Commission, in a Staff 
Requirements Memorandum dated November 26, 2002, did not object to 
staff's proposal, and requested information regarding the scope and 
type of research needed to support any entombment option. This 
information was provided to the Commission on May 14, 2003. The Office 
of Nuclear Regulatory Research conducted research in 2004 and plans to 
issue an Interim Research Report in mid-2005. The staff is continuing 
to defer this rulemaking activity.

4004. DISTRIBUTION OF SOURCE MATERIAL TO EXEMPT PERSONS AND GENERAL 
LICENSEES AND REVISION OF 10 CFR 40.22 GENERAL LICENSE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 40

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
improve the control over the distribution of source material to exempt 
persons and to general licensees in order to make part 40 more risk-
informed. The proposed rule also would govern the licensing of source 
material by adding specific requirements for licensing of and reporting 
by distributors of products and materials used by exempt persons and 
general licensees. Source material is used under general license and 
under various exemptions from licensing requirements in part 40 for 
which there is no regulatory mechanism for the Commission to obtain 
information to fully assess the resultant risks to public health and 
safety. Although estimates of resultant doses have been made, there is 
a need for ongoing information on the quantities and types of 
radioactive material distributed for exempt use and use under general 
license. Obtaining information on the distribution of source material 
is particularly difficult because many of the distributors of source 
material to exempt persons and generally licensed persons are not 
currently required to hold a license from the Commission. Distributors 
are often unknown to the Commission. No controls are in place to ensure 
that products and materials distributed are maintained within the 
applicable constraints of the exemptions. In addition, the amounts of 
source material allowed under the general license in 10 CFR 40.22 could 
result in exposures above 1 mSv/year (100 mrem/year) to workers at 
facilities that are not required to meet the requirements of parts 19 
and 20. Without knowledge of the identity and location of the general 
licensees, it would be difficult to enforce restrictions on the general 
licensees. This rule also would address PRM-40-27 submitted by the 
State of Colorado and Organization of Agreement States.

4006. EXEMPTIONS FROM LICENSING AND DISTRIBUTION OF BYPRODUCT MATERIAL; 
LICENSING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 30; 10 CFR 31; 10 CFR 32

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would use the results of the reevaluation 
of exemptions to make parts 30, 31, and 32 more risk-informed and less 
prescriptive and to better ensure safety. The proposed rule would 
eliminate unnecessary restrictions and obsolete provisions currently in 
the regulations. Improvements to distributor reporting requirements are 
also being considered. This rulemaking subsumes RM 526, ``Use of Exempt 
Sources in Devices, 10 CFR 30.18.''

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 50

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend section 50.46 to develop 
performance-based acceptance criteria for fuel cladding performance 
during loss-of-coolant accidents. Existing provisions of section 50.46 
applicable to certain zirconium-based cladding materials would be 
supplemented by performance-based standards for maximum peak cladding 
temperature and oxidation limit. The supplementary performance standard 
would allow licensees to use alternative cladding materials, without 
seeking an exemption, provided that (1) testing demonstrated that 
adequate ductility would be maintained, and (2) ECCS analyses showed 
that the new performance criteria would be satisfied. This rulemaking 
would also address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear 
Energy Institute (PRM-50-71).

4008. DECOUPLING OF ASSUMED LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER FROM LOSS-OF-COOLANT 
ACCIDENTS (LOCA)

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 50

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
eliminate, based upon appropriate risk considerations, the assumption 
of a coincident loss of offsite power for postulated large-break (low 
frequency) loss-of-coolant accidents (LB-LOCA) in General Design 
Criterion (GDC) 35. The proposed rule would provide a voluntary 
alternative to existing requirements where specified acceptance 
criteria are satisfied, and also would address a petition for 
rulemaking submitted by Bob Christie Performance Technology (PRM-50-
77).

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 20; 10 CFR 30; 10 CFR 40; 10 CFR 70; 10 CFR 72

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by 
examining the addition and revision of requirements for (1) financial 
assurance and (2) licensee monitoring, reporting, and remediation to 
reduce the potential for sites that could have funding shortfalls or 
contamination that would complicate future decommissioning (i.e., 
create a future legacy site).
