Discussion
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The NRC published a proposed rule
that would amend its regulations in 10
CFR part 73 to enhance the security
requirements that apply to the
transportation of spent nuclear fuel. The
proposed rule would establish
generically applicable security
requirements similar to those previously
imposed by Commission orders issued
after the terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001. The proposed rule would also
add several new requirements not
derived directly from the security order
requirements, but developed as a result
of insights gained by performing
security assessments of potential
security vulnerabilities associated with
spent nuclear fuel in transit. The
proposed rule would establish the
acceptable performance standards and
objectives for the protection of spent
nuclear fuel shipments from theft,
diversion, or radiological sabotage. The
proposed amendments would apply to
those licensees authorized to possess or
transport spent nuclear fuel. The
proposed security requirements would
also address, in part, a petition for
rulemaking from the State of Nevada
(PRM–73–10) that requests that NRC
strengthen the regulations governing the
security of spent nuclear fuel shipments
against malevolent acts.
The proposed rule was published on
October 13, 2010 (75 FR 62695) and the
public comment period was scheduled
to expire on January 11, 2011. The NRC
has determined that additional time is
needed for public review of the
potential impacts of the proposed
requirements. In order to allow the
public sufficient time to review and
comment on the proposed rule, the NRC
has decided to extend the comment
period until April 11, 2011.

Physical Protection of Irradiated Reactor Fuel in Transit
Extension of Comment Period
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On October 13, 2010 (75 FR 62695), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission) published for public comment a
proposed rule to amend its security regulations in title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 73 pertaining to the transport of
irradiated reactor fuel (for purposes of this rulemaking, the terms
``irradiated reactor fuel'' and ``spent nuclear fuel'' (SNF) are used
interchangeably). This proposed rule would establish generically
applicable security requirements similar to those previously imposed by
Commission orders issued after the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001. The proposed rule would establish the acceptable performance
standards and objectives for the protection of spent nuclear fuel
shipments from theft, diversion, or radiological sabotage. The proposed
amendments would apply to those licensees authorized to possess or
transport spent nuclear fuel. The proposed security requirements would
also address, in part, a petition for rulemaking from the State of
Nevada (PRM-73-10) that requests that NRC strengthen the regulations
governing the security of spent nuclear fuel shipments against
malevolent acts. The public comment period for this proposed rule was
scheduled to expire on January 11, 2011. The NRC has determined that
additional time is needed for public review of the potential impacts of
the proposed requirements. In order to allow the public sufficient time
to review and comment on the proposed rule, the NRC has decided to
extend the comment period until April 11, 2011.
DATES: The comment period has been extended and expires on April 11,
2011. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is
practical to do so. The NRC is only able to assure consideration of
comments received on or before this date.
