Overview of the Retrospective Review of Administrative Requirements (RROAR) Initiative The NRC staff presented an overview of the RROAR initiative including a description of the objective, scope, process, and timeline.

The NRC staff discussed the steps outlined in the Federal Register notice and communicated that the goal is to provide recommendations to the Commission within 18-24 months of the staff requirements memorandum to SECY-17-0119, Retrospective Review of Administrative Regulations, dated April 5, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18096A553).

Draft Evaluation Criteria The NRC staff provided a presentation about the draft evaluation criteria to be used in the RROAR initiative. The presentation was followed by a question and answer session.

The presentation highlighted questions asked in the Federal Register notice about topics on which the NRC staff is requesting specific feedback from the public. One topic is the evaluation criterion about regulatory changes that may result in a significant reduction in burden. The NRC staff noted a particular interest in public feedback about the magnitude of a quantitative threshold, any data that would provide a basis for establishing such a threshold, and whether or not multiple thresholds should be considered for different licensee classes.

Another topic is the criterion on third-party information collections. The NRC staff encouraged the public to provide comments on the scope of this criterion.

The NRC staff closed the meeting with a discussion of next steps, as listed below.
