Introduction
The Agenda is a compilation of all
rulemaking activities on which an
agency has recently completed action or
has proposed or is considering action.
The Agenda reports rulemaking
activities in three major categories:
completed, active, and long-term.
Completed rulemaking activities are
those that were completed since
publication of an agency’s last Agenda;
active rulemaking activities are those for
which an agency currently plans to have
an Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, a Proposed Rule, or a Final
Rule issued within the next 12 months;
and long-term rulemaking activities are
rulemaking activities under
development but for which an agency
does not expect to have a regulatory
action within the 12 months after
publication of the current edition of the
Unified Agenda.
The NRC assigns a ‘‘Regulation
Identifier Number’’ (RIN) to a
rulemaking activity when the
Commission initiates a rulemaking and
approves a rulemaking plan, or when
the NRC staff begins work on a
Commission-delegated rulemaking that
does not require a rulemaking plan. The
Office of Management and Budget uses
this number to track all relevant
documents throughout the entire
‘‘lifecycle’’ of a particular rulemaking
activity. The NRC reports all rulemaking
activities in the Agenda that have been
assigned a RIN and meet the definition
E:\FR\FM\22FEP25.SGM
22FEP25
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 22, 2023 / UA: Reg Flex Agenda
for a completed, an active, or a longterm rulemaking activity.
The information contained in this
Agenda is updated to reflect any action
that has occurred on a rulemaking
activity since publication of our last
Agenda on August 8, 2022. Specifically,
the information in this Agenda has been
updated through November 30, 2022.
The NRC provides additional
information on planned rulemaking and
petition for rulemaking activities,
including priority and schedule, in the
NRC’s Rulemaking Tracking System on
our website at https://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/doc-collections/rulemakingruleforum/active/ruleindex.html.
The date for the next scheduled action
under the heading ‘‘Timetable’’ is the
date the next regulatory action for the
rulemaking activity is scheduled to be
published in the Federal Register. The
date is considered tentative and is not
binding on the Commission or its staff.
The Agenda is intended to provide the
public early notice and opportunity to
participate in our rulemaking process.
However, we may consider or act on any
rulemaking activity even though it is not
included in the Agenda.
Section 610 Periodic Reviews Under
the Regulatory Flexibility Act
Section 610 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) requires agencies
to conduct a review within 10 years of
issuance of those regulations that have
or will have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. We undertake these reviews to
decide whether the rules should be
unchanged, amended, or withdrawn. At
this time, we do not have any rules that
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities;
therefore, we have not included any
RFA Section 610 periodic reviews in
this edition of the Agenda. A complete
11373
listing of our regulations that impact
small entities and related Small Entity
Compliance Guides are available from
the NRC’s website at https://
www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/
rulemaking/flexibility-act/smallentities.html.

Abstract: This rulemaking would
amend the NRC’s regulations regarding
requirements for track-etched
membranes that have been irradiated
with mixed fission products during the
production process. The rule also would
accommodate the licensing and
distribution of other irradiated products
(e.g., gemstones) without the need for a
specific exemption for each distributor.
This rulemaking would affect the
licensees and applicants for items
containing byproduct material
incidental to production. The
rulemaking addresses a petition for

rulemaking annually to recover, to the
maximum extent practicable,
approximately 100 percent of the NRC’s
budget authority, less the budget
authority for excluded activities to
implement the Nuclear Energy
Innovation and Modernization Act. This
rulemaking would affect the fee
schedules for licensing, inspection, and

Introduction
The Agenda is a compilation of all rulemaking activities on which
an agency has recently completed action or has proposed or is
considering action. The Agenda reports rulemaking activities in three
major categories: completed, active, and long-term. Completed
rulemaking activities are those that were completed since publication
of an agency's last Agenda; active rulemaking activities are those for
which an agency currently plans to have an Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, a Proposed Rule, or a Final Rule issued within the next 12
months; and long-term rulemaking activities are rulemaking activities
under development but for which an agency does not expect to have a
regulatory action within the 12 months after publication of the current
edition of the Unified Agenda.
The NRC assigns a ``Regulation Identifier Number'' (RIN) to a
rulemaking activity when the Commission initiates a rulemaking and
approves a rulemaking plan, or when the NRC staff begins work on a
Commission-delegated rulemaking that does not require a rulemaking
plan. The Office of Management and Budget uses this number to track all
relevant documents throughout the entire ``lifecycle'' of a particular
rulemaking activity. The NRC reports all rulemaking activities in the
Agenda that have been assigned a RIN and meet the definition
[[Page 11373]]
for a completed, an active, or a long-term rulemaking activity.
The information contained in this Agenda is updated to reflect any
action that has occurred on a rulemaking activity since publication of
our last Agenda on August 8, 2022. Specifically, the information in
this Agenda has been updated through November 30, 2022. The NRC
provides additional information on planned rulemaking and petition for
rulemaking activities, including priority and schedule, in the NRC's
Rulemaking Tracking System on our website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/rulemaking-ruleforum/active/ruleindex.html.
The date for the next scheduled action under the heading
``Timetable'' is the date the next regulatory action for the rulemaking
activity is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register. The date
is considered tentative and is not binding on the Commission or its
staff. The Agenda is intended to provide the public early notice and
opportunity to participate in our rulemaking process. However, we may
consider or act on any rulemaking activity even though it is not
included in the Agenda.
Section 610 Periodic Reviews Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires
agencies to conduct a review within 10 years of issuance of those
regulations that have or will have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. We undertake these reviews to
decide whether the rules should be unchanged, amended, or withdrawn. At
this time, we do not have any rules that have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities; therefore, we have
not included any RFA Section 610 periodic reviews in this edition of
the Agenda. A complete listing of our regulations that impact small
entities and related Small Entity Compliance Guides are available from
the NRC's website at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/rulemaking/flexibility-act/small-entities.html.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC)
Proposed Rule Stage
583. Revision to the NRC'S Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR) [NRC-2014-
0033] [3150-AJ36]
Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2201; 42 U.S.C. 5841
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the NRC's acquisition
regulation that governs the procurement of goods and services for the
agency. The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the NRC's
acquisitions regulations (NRCAR) to conform with external regulations,
incorporate NRC organizational changes, and remove outdated or obsolete
information. The revisions would affect both internal and external
stakeholders (contractors) and are needed to support current NRC
contracting policies and ensure openness, transparency, and
effectiveness in agency acquisitions.

Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2201; 42 U.S.C. 5841
[[Page 11374]]
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations
regarding requirements for track-etched membranes that have been
irradiated with mixed fission products during the production process.
The rule also would accommodate the licensing and distribution of other
irradiated products (e.g., gemstones) without the need for a specific
exemption for each distributor. This rulemaking would affect the
licensees and applicants for items containing byproduct material
incidental to production. The rulemaking addresses a petition for
rulemaking (PRM-30-65).

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations for fee
schedules. The NRC conducts this rulemaking annually to recover, to the
maximum extent practicable, approximately 100 percent of the NRC's
budget authority, less the budget authority for excluded activities to
implement the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act. This
rulemaking would affect the fee schedules for licensing, inspection,
and annual fees charged to the NRC's applicants and licensees.
