What is this?

This is a regulatory record from Nuclear Regulatory Commission — a rule, proposed rule, or notice. Regulations carry the force of law once final, and often invite public comment before that point.

Why does it matter?

Regulations are usually what actually binds you, more than statutes are. This is where an agency states the requirement, the effective date, and whether there is still a window to respond.

Description

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has received 15 petitions for rulemaking (PRMs), each dated August 10, August 11, or August 12, 2011, from the multiple petitioners listed in Section I, Procedural Processing, of this document. The petitioners request that the NRC rescind its regulations that allow generic conclusions about the environmental impacts of severe reactor and spent fuel pool accidents and its regulations that preclude considerations of those issues in individual licensing proceedings. The petitioners also request the NRC to suspend multiple ongoing licensing proceedings while the NRC considers these petitions and the environmental issues raised in the Fukushima Task Force Report. The NRC is not instituting a public comment period for these PRMs at this time.
