Purpose:
To provide notice of an upcoming public meeting and an opportunity to register to present oral comments.

In SECY-15-0002, Proposed Updates of Licensing Policies, Rules, and Guidance for Future New Reactor Applications, dated January 8, 2015 (Agencywide Documents and Management System1 (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13277A420), the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff described its proposal to update the NRC policies, rules, and guidance to be applied to future new reactor licensing applications. On September 22, 2015, the Commission approved the proposal to amend 10 CFR Part 50 to more closely align these regulations with the requirements in 10 CFR Part 52 for new power reactor applications and to revise 10 CFR Part 52 to reflect lessons learned from recent new reactor licensing activities as noted in the Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-15-0002, Proposed Updates of Licensing Policies, Rules, and Guidance for Future New Reactor Applications (ADAMS Accession No. ML15266A023).

The meeting will provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions and provide comments about those elements they believe should be considered in the rulemaking.
