Status of Petition for Rulemaking: PRM-50-115, "Fire Protection Compensatory Measures" Date: Tuesday, October 08, 2019 11:54:00 AM Dr. Lyman and Mr. Gunter:
I am contacting you to provide a status update on the petition for rulemaking that Mr.
Lochbaum and Mr. Gunter submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),
dated May 1, 2017. The petition requested that the NRC promulgate regulations that establish acceptable conditions for use of compensatory measures (e.g., fire watched, surveillance cameras, etc.) during periods when fire protection regulations are not met.
The NRC docketed the letter as petition for rulemaking PRM-50-115, and the NRC published a notice of receipt in the Federal Register on October 6, 2017 (82 FR 46717).
The status of PRM-50-115 can be found at the NRC Rules and Petition page at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/rulemaking-ruleforum/petitions-by-year.html. At this Web site there is a link to a listing of all active NRC PRMs. You can monitor this site for status updates as they become available.
