Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 86 / Thursday, May 6, 2021 / Proposed Rules
current regulations and processes provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety for both operating and decommissioning power reactors. The lack of a safety or security concern would contribute to the low priority of this petition, were it to be considered in rulemaking.
Resources Based on the complexity of the issue raised by the petitioner, a rulemaking on this issue would entail a significant
expenditure of NRC resources. Any such rulemaking effort would likely address a wide variety of technical and regulatory topics including, but not limited to, decommissioning status, aging management, quality assurance, equipment maintenance, personnel, license expiration, hearing process, and appropriate licensing basis.
As discussed in the Public Meeting on the Petition and Other Topics section of this document, power reactor licensees expressed minimal interest in a rulemaking establishing a new process
for reauthorization of operation for decommissioning power reactors. Given this minimal interest from the nuclear industry, the NRC expects few, if any, requests for reauthorization. Thus, the benefits of any such rulemaking would not be expected to outweigh the costs.

VI. Conclusion For the reasons cited in this document, the NRC is denying PRM
50117. The NRCs existing regulatory framework may be used to address the issue raised by the petitioner, who does not raise a significant safety or security concern, and current requirements continue to provide for the adequate protection of public health and safety and to promote the common defense and security. In addition, the nuclear industry has not expressed a strong interest in returning retired plants to operational status and proceeding with rulemaking to develop a new regulatory framework that may not be used is not a prudent use of resources.
