Waste Confidence Decision Update
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is updating its Waste Confidence Decision of 1984 and, in a parallel rulemaking proceeding, revising its generic determinations in the NRC's regulations.
Consideration of Environmental Impacts of Temporary Storage of Spent Fuel After Cessation of Reactor Operation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is revising its generic determination on the environmental impacts of storage of spent fuel at, or away from, reactor sites after the expiration of reactor operating licenses. The revisions reflect findings that the Commission has reached in an update and supplement to the 1990 Waste Confidence rulemaking proceeding published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. The Commission now finds that, if necessary, spent fuel generated in any reactor can be stored safely and without significant environmental impacts for at least 60 years beyond the licensed life for operation (which may include the term of a revised or renewed license) of that reactor in a combination of storage in its spent fuel storage basin or at either onsite or offsite independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs). It also finds reasonable assurance that sufficient mined geologic repository capacity will be available for disposal of spent fuel when necessary.
End-User Exception to Mandatory Clearing of Swaps
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') is proposing new requirements governing the elective exception to mandatory clearing of swaps available for swap counterparties meeting certain conditions under Section 2(h)(7) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Commission is requesting comments on the proposed rule and related matters.
Swap Data Repositories
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') is proposing rules to implement new statutory provisions introduced by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act''). Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'' or the ``Act'') by adding new Section 21, which establishes registration requirements, statutory duties, core principles and certain compliance obligations for registered swap data repositories (``SDRs'') and directs the Commission to adopt rules governing persons that are registered, as such, under this Section.
