_______________________________________________________________________
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Proposed Rule Stage
_______________________________________________________________________
3990. LICENSES, CERTIFICATIONS, AND APPROVALS 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; 10 CFR 52; 10
CFR 72; 10 CFR 73; 10 CFR 140; 10 CFR 171
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's requirements
for early site permits, standard design certifications, and combined
licenses 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 licensing processes currently
described in 10 CFR part 52 (early site permits, early site reviews,
standard design certification, standard design approvals, combined
licenses, and manufacturing licenses) . The purpose of this
reorganization would be 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.
The proposed rule would amend section 52.1 to clarify that all
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. As a result of the comments received and a number of other
factors, the Commission decided that a substantial rewrite and
expansion of the original rulemaking would be necessary to ensure that
the entire body of NRC regulations is able to support the Agency's
licensing and regulation of future nuclear power facilities under part
52.

3991. 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
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
proposed rule would require 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. This rule also addresses the remaining portion
of PRM-50-80.

[[Page 23701]]
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to
clarify or revise the regulations such 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 1 mSv (100 mrem); (2) licensees for production and
utilization facilities governed by 10 CFR part 50 would not need to
label containers in accordance with section 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
section 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 section 20.1003 ``Definitions`` to
clarify the definition of total effective dose equivalent.

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 testing demonstrated that adequate
ductility would be maintained, and ECCS analyses showed that the new
performance criteria would be satisfied. This rulemaking also would
address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy
Institute (PRM-50-71).

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by
examining the addition and revision of requirements for financial
assurance, and 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).

CFR 63; 10 CFR 70; 10 CFR 72; 10 CFR 73; 10 CFR 76; 10 CFR 150
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations
for the protection of Safeguards Information (SGI) to reflect recent
Commission practices reflected in Orders and Threat Advisories, and
Confirmatory Action Letters issued since September 11, 2001. The
amendments also provide the flexibility afforded the Commission for the
protection of such information by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (AEA). The proposed amendments would affect certain licensees,
information, and materials not currently specified in the regulations,
but which are within the scope of the AEA. The proposed amendments are
intended to protect SGI from inadvertent release and unauthorized
disclosure which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities
and materials. The Commission directed that this rule be republished as
a proposed rule to allow comments on proposed changes to rule text in
response to public and Commission comment, as well as to reflect
amendments to the AEA in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and orders
issued to licensees authorized to possess and transfer items containing
certain quantities of radioactive material.

Abstract: The direct final rule amends the Commission's regulations by
revising the FuelSolutions\TM\ Cask System listing within the ``List of
Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 4 to
Certificate of Compliance Number 1026. Amendment No. 4 will modify the
present cask system design to revise the Technical Specification (TS)
requirements related to periodic monitoring during storage operation.
Specifically, the changes will permit longer surveillance intervals for
casks with total heat loads lower than the design-basis heat load and
permit either visual inspection of the cask vent screens or
measurements of the cask liner temperature to satisfy the periodic
monitoring requirements of 10 CFR 72.122(h)(4).

Abstract: The direct final rule amends the Commission's regulations by
revising the BNG Fuel Solutions Corporation VSC-24 cask system listing
within the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include
Amendment No. 6 to Certificate of Compliance Number 1007. Amendment No.
6 will modify the present cask system design to revise the Technical
Specification (TS) requirements related to periodic monitoring during
storage operation. Specifically, the amendment will eliminate TS 1.3.4
that requires daily temperature measurement of the cask. The daily
temperature measurement is not required because the daily visual
inspection of the cask inlet and outlet vent screens, required by TS
1.3.1, provides the capability to determine when corrective action
needs to be taken to maintain safe storage conditions in accordance
with the requirements in 10 CFR 72.122(h)(4). The amendment will also
revise TS 1.2.3 to correspond with TS 1.3.1 by revising the method of
thermal performance evaluation to allow for daily temperature
surveillance once the cask has reached thermal equilibrium.

Abstract: The direct final rule amends the Commission's regulations to
implement the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). This rulemaking will
facilitate exports of high-enriched uranium fuel or targets to produce
medical isotopes by specified countries in reactors that are either
utilizing an alternative nuclear reactor fuel or have agreed to do so
when an alternative nuclear reactor fuel can be used in the reactor
(EPAct sec. 630). The rule will prohibit the issuance of export
licenses to countries which the Department of State has determined have
engaged in state-sponsored terrorism (EPAct sec. 632). In addition, the
rule will amend part 110 to capture discrete sources of radium-226 and
accelerator produced radioactive material (EPAct sec. 651 (d) & (e)).
Radium-226 will be added to part 110, appendix P, in accordance with
already existing Commission security policy and the export/import
Guidance provisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency Code of
Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources.

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 was provided to the Commission in SECY-05-0074, dated
April 28, 2005. In a memorandum dated June 30, 2005, the Commission
approved publication of the proposed rule for public comment. 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.

Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended.
Abstract: The proposed rule amends 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 2006, 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.
To address fairness and equity concerns related to charging NRC license
holders for Agency-budgeted costs that do not provide a direct benefit
to the licensee, the FY 2001 Energy and Water Development
Appropriations Act amended OBRA-90 to decrease the NRC's fee recovery
amount by 2 percent per year beginning in FY 2001, until the fee
recovery amount was 90 percent for FY 2005. The FY 2006 Energy and
Water Development Appropriations Act, as amended by the Department of
Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in
the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act of 2006, extended this
90 percent fee recovery requirement through FY 2006. The dollar amount
to be recovered for FY 2006 is approximately $624.0 million. OBRA-90,
as amended,

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 re-estimated
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 re-estimated 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

4021. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION TO NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES OF TRANSPORTATION
OF CERTAIN TYPES OF NUCLEAR WASTE
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
[[Page 23709]]
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.

4022. 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 under section 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).
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.

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
require NRC approval for transfers from licensees of unimportant
quantities of source material (less than 0.05 percent by weight) to
persons exempt from licensing requirements. The objective of this
proposed action is to ensure that the regulations regarding transfers
of materials containing low concentrations of source material are
adequate to protect public health and safety. Publication of the final
rule is being delayed until certain recent related issues are resolved
to minimize the possibility of future inconsistencies in the
regulations.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841
[[Page 23710]]
CFR Citation: 10 CFR 20; 10 CFR 50
Legal Deadline: None
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 2005 and plans to
issue a research information letter summarizing the results of prior
work; e.g., concrete used in engineered backfills and radionuclide
isolation in concrete. The staff is continuing to defer this rulemaking
activity.

4026. 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 section 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.

Abstract: The staff provided a draft proposed rule package on
Controlling the Disposition of Solid Materials to the Commission on

package. The Commission's decision is based on the fact that the Agency
is currently faced with several high priority and complex tasks, that
the current approach to review specific cases on an individual basis is
fully protective of public health and safety, and that the immediate
need for this rule has changed due to the shift in timing for reactor
decommissioning. As such, the Commission is deferring this rulemaking
for the time being.
