On October 17, 2017 (82 FR 48283), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a notice in the federal register requesting comment on the draft regulatory analysis, “Draft Regulatory Analysis for Final Rule: Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal,” and seeking specific cost and benefit information to better inform the updated draft regulatory analysis. This is the next step after the NRC’s proposed rule, “Low-level Radioactive Waste Disposal,” published on March 26, 2015 (80 FR 16082) in the Federal Register. As a result of the comments received on the proposed rule, the NRC drafted a final rule package to include: 1. Overview of proposed changes “SECY-16-0106, Final Rule: Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal 10 CFR Part 61 (RIN 3150-AI92)” dated September 15, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16188A307); 2. Draft Federal Register notice (ADAMS Accession No. ML16188A371); and 3. Draft final regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession No. ML16189A050). Please submit comments by November 16, 2017. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to assure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. During the comment period for this action, the NRC will conduct a public meeting at the NRC’s Headquarters that will explain the cost and benefit information it is seeking in this notice and to address questions. Information regarding the public meeting is posted on the NRC’s public meeting Web site. The NRC’s public meeting Web site is located at https://www.nrc.gov/publicinvolve.html . The NRC has also posted the meeting notice on the Federal rulemaking Web site at http://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC–2011–0012.
