Nuclear Regulatory Commission July 19, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted a request for renewal of an existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The information collection is entitled, "Voluntary Reporting of Performance Indicators."

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, to ensure the system of records notices remain accurate, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviews each notice on a periodic basis. As a result of this review, the NRC is republishing 16 of its system of records notices and has made various revisions to ensure that the NRC's notices remain clear, accurate, and up to date. Three of the system noticesNRC 37, Information Security Files and Associated Records, NRC 44, Employee Fitness Center Records, and NRC 46, Health Emergency Recordsare subject to a 30-day comment period based on the nature of their revisions. The revisions to these systems are in effect upon this publication with the exception of the NRC 37, NRC 44 and NRC 46 modifications, which will go into effect 30 days after this publication. The remaining systems revisions are minor corrective and administrative changes that do not meet the threshold criteria established by OMB for either a new or altered system of records. The minor modifications include updating authorities, system managers, retention schedules, and various other minor updates, in accordance with OMB Circular A-108.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued an exemption in response to a request dated September 28, 2023, as supplemented by letter dated March 14, 2024, from Tennessee Valley Authority related to the use of a locked door or gate with a monitored alarm at the access control point to radioactive waste that contains category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, site.
