%,.....p December 7, 1998 The Honorable Albert Gore, Jr.
President of the United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. President:
Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,5 U.S.C. 801, the U.S. Nuclear regulatory Commission is submitting final amendments to the Commission's rules in 10 CFR Part 2 and Part 51 regarding Procedures Applicable to Public Notification, Availability of Documents and Records, Hearing Requests and Procedures for Hearings on License Transfer Applications. The amendments are intended to streamline the hearing process for NRC approval of license transfers by establishing informal procedures together with schedular milestones. These are expected to result in the issuance of a final Commission decision on a routine license transfer within about six to eight months of the notice of receipt of the application.
The Commission has determined that this rule is not a " major rule" as defined in 5 U.S.C.
804(2). We have confirmed this determination with the Office of Management and Budget.
Enclosed is a copy of the Final Rule that is being transmitted to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. The Regulatory Flexibility Certification is included in the final rule. The Commission has determined that this rule should become immediately effective upon publication.
Sincerely,
]
