Alignment of Licensing Processes and Lessons Learned From New Reactor Licensing Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Regulatory basis; request for comment.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC is requesting comments on a regulatory basis to support a proposed rule that would amend the NRCs regulations for the licensing of new nuclear power reactors.
The NRCs goals in amending these regulations would be to ensure consistency in new reactor licensing reviews, provide for an efficient new reactor licensing process, reduce the need for exemptions from existing regulations and license amendment requests, address other new reactor licensing issues deemed relevant by the NRC, and support the principles of good regulation, specifically openness, clarity, and reliability. The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to promote a full understanding of the rulemaking, discuss the regulatory basis, and facilitate public participation.
DATES: Submit comments by April 14, 2021. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is only able to ensure consideration of comments received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods;
however, the NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal Rulemaking Website:
Federal Rulemaking Website: Go to https www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC20090196. Address questions about NRC dockets to Dawn
