Dear Mr. President:
Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Faimess Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 801, the 18 S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is submitting a final rule to make minor correchons and clasifying changes to NRC's 10 CFR Part 20, " Standards for Protection against Radution," that will further facilitate implementation. The final rule is also intended to conform other 10 CFR Parts with the Commission's revised radiation protection requirements. In addibon, a minor policy change raises the monitoring criteria for minors from 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to 0.1 rem (1 mSv) in a year and for declared pregnant women from 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) to 0.1 rem (1 mSv) during their pregnancies. Licensees will still be required to ensure that the occupational dose limit of 0.5 rem (5 mSv) for minors is not exceeded in a year and that the dose limit of 0.5 rem (5 mSv) to an embryo / fetus, resulting from occupational exposure of a declared pregnant woman, is not exceeded during the course of the pregnancy.
i l We have 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.
Encioned is a copy of the final rule that is being transmitted to the Office of the Federal Register for puhhcation. The " Regulatory Analysis" is included in the final rule. This final rule is scheduled to become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
