ENCLOSURE A.
Public Participation Procedures Peculiar to NRC:
NRC's procedures for public participation in agency rulemaking(are set forth in Subpart H - Rules Making, of NRC's Rules of Practice 10 CFR Part2).
Any interested person may petition the NRC to issue, amend, or rescind any regulation.
A petition should be addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention:
Chief, Docketing and Service Section.
The petition should state the sub-stance or text of any proposed regulation or amendment, or, if requesting recision or amendment, specify the affected regulation, and state the basis for the request.
The petition may request that the Commission suspend all or part of any licensing proceeding to which the petitioner is a party while the petition for rulemaking is being considered.
When a petition is received by the NRC, a docket number is assigned, and a copy of the petition is placed in the NRC Public Document Room,1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
The NRC also publishes a notice of the receipt of the petition in the Federal Register for 60-day public comment.
Copies of petitions may be obtained by calling or writing ~the office shown below.
When the Comission proposes to adopt, amend, or repeal a regulation, it publishes a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register, nor-mally for 60-day public comment.
Persons may submit statements, information,..
opinions, and arguments.
Copies of comments received are placed in the NRC Public Document Room for public inspection, and the Comission may grant additional reasonable opportunity for submission of comments, if necessary.
The NRC staff responses to public coments are made publicly available in the NRC's Public Document Room and a sumary of the NRC staff analysis of the public comments appears in a Federal Register notice.
In addition, the NRC sends affected licensees and known interested persons a copy of pro-posed and effective rules.
Periodically, the Comission may hold informal hearings at which interested persons may be heard.
The notice of liearing will establish procedures for the hearing, including such matters as the time, place, nature, designation of presiding officer, and any special directions for the conduct of the hearing.
The NRC does not furnish funds for public participation in agency hearings.
Information concerning the status of proposed rules or petitions for rulemaking, or other infonnation concerning NRC's rulemaking activities, may be obtained by writing or telephoning the Chief, Rules and Procedures, Diyision of Rules and Records, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555 (301/492-7086).
