Nuclear Regulatory Commission July 9, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On May 15, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a request for public comment on developments concerning the Low Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) Regulatory Program. These developments over the next several years would affect licensees and States with LLRW disposal sites and actions that the NRC could take to ensure safety, security, and the protection of the environment. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on July 14, 2014. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.37, ``Quality Assurance Requirements for Cleaning of Fluid Systems and Associated Components of Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants,'' (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. ML070250571). The RG is being withdrawn because its guidance and regulatory positions are contained in RG 1.28, Revision 4, ``Quality Assurance Program Criteria (Design and Construction)''; (ADAMS Accession No. ML100160003), and RG 1.33, Revision 3, ``Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation),'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML13109A458).
