Mr. Eric Epstein; Denial of Petition for Rulemaking
Document Number: E7-3822
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-03-05
Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The NRC is denying a petition for rulemaking (PRM) submitted by Mr. Eric Epstein on October 19, 2005. The petition, docketed as PRM- 50-81, requests that NRC codify criteria in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) \1\ 1986 Guidance Memorandum (GM) EV-2, ``Protective Actions for School Children,'' into NRC's emergency planning regulations. The petitioner believes that this action is necessary to provide preplanned emergency evacuation capabilities for children in Pennsylvania. The NRC is denying PRM-50-81 because it does not provide significant new information that was not previously considered in denying an earlier petition, PRM-50-79, submitted by Mr. Lawrence T. Christian, which requested that the Commission amend its emergency planning regulations to ensure that all day care centers and nursery schools in the vicinity of nuclear power facilities are properly protected in the event of a radiological emergency.

Document Number: E7-3776
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-03-05
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The intent of this action is to propose management measures that would improve the management and enforcement of regulations governing the Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog fishery in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.
