NRC-04-95-%5 l~
BACKGROUND:
The NRC published a final rule on Febmary 10,1997 (62 FR 5907), amending Part 71 regarding the shipments of exempt quantities of fissile material and the shipment of fissile material under a j
general license. Although the rule was final, the NRC nevenheless invited the public to comment in a 30-day post-promulgation period, and promised to conduct additional rulemaking if necessary. Most of the commenters supported the emergency final rule as an action that was necessary, however they all felt that the rule had gone too far, that it was excessively restrictive and will be costly to licer. sees, and that further rulemaking was necessary.
l-Following receipt of the comments, SFPO/NMSS initiated a contract with Oak Ridge National -
Laboratory (ORNL) to study the regulatory and technical bases associated with fissile -
exemptions and general license regulations. ORNL issued draft NUREG/CR-5342 for NRC review. NMSS completed its review of the draft NUREG and recommended proceeding with L
rulemaking.
l This task will provide supponing documents for a rulemaking plan which, if approved by the l
.. Commission, will be developed into a proposed rule.
