Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 26, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is revising its licensing guidance for changes of control and about bankruptcy involving byproduct, source, or special nuclear materials licenses. The NRC is requesting public comment on draft NUREG-1556, Volume 15, Revision 1, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Guidance about Changes of Control and about Bankruptcy Involving Byproduct, Source, or Special Nuclear Materials Licenses.'' The document has been updated from the previous revision to include safety culture, protection of sensitive information, and changes in regulatory policies and practices. This document is intended for use by applicants, licensees, and the NRC staff and will also be available to Agreement States.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing revision 1 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.214, ``Response Strategies for Potential Aircraft Threats.'' The revision contains updated references and minor corrections. The revision does not contain substantive changes in the NRC staff's regulatory positions. The guide describes a method that the NRC staff considers acceptable for applicants for, and holders of, nuclear power plant licenses to comply with NRC requirements to develop, implement, and maintain procedures for responding to potential aircraft threats.
