'5 Attachmsnt to SRM Mar.6.81 OGC Footnote to SECY-80-545 In October.1980 approximately four months after the coment period closed, several operators of uranium mills jointly filed late coments on this proposed rule. They basically requested the Commission to defer implementation of the. NRC program to enforce Part 190 at uranium mills. Recognizing that their coments were late, these operators requested in the alternative that their filing be treated as a petition to rescind any NRC regulations imposing Part 190 requirements on uranium mills. In a separate action, the American Mining Congress also moved the Comission in October,1980 to stay implementation and enforcement of Part 190 at NRC licensed uranium mills. The Comission is currently considering these filings. However, the issuance of these amendments as a final rule needs not be delayed. For the most part, these amendments simply incorporate into 10 CFR Part 20 the NRC's already existing responsibility to enforce 40 CFR Part 190 at fuel cycle facilities including uranium mills. Issuance of these amendments as a final rule does not modify that responsibility. Thus, because these amendments do not change the status quo regarding the Comission's authority, they can be issued before the Comission reaches a decision on pending requests to delay enforcement of Part 190. 1 e}}
