A 82 -1 May 3, 1998 M32 O f'PR yI
. The Honorable Al Gore President of the United States Senate
-Washington, DC 20510 Dear Mr' President!
Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Faimess Act of 1996; 5 U.S.C. 801, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is submitting a final rule amending its .
1 regulations in 10 CFR Parts 60, 72,73,74, and 75, for physical protection requirements for storage of spent fuel, or high-level radioactive waste. This final rule will codify standards for protecting spent fuel at the various storage facilities licensed under Part 60 or Part 72.
! Previous requirements for protecting such material lacked clarity in defining which physical protection regulations were to be applied at such sites. The NRC is also submitting a companion document entitled: "NUREG-1619: Standard Review Plan for Physical Protection :
Plans for the independent Storage of Spent Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste." NUREG-1619 is a standard review plan for the NRC review and evaluation of physical protection plans submitted by licensees in accordance with this final rule.
We have determined that this rule is not a " major rule," as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). We have made the same determination with regard to NUREG-1619. We have confirmed these determinations with the Office of Management and Budget.
Enclosure 1 contains a copy of the final rule which is being transmitted to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. The Regulatory Flexibility Certification is included in the final rule. Enclosure 2 contains a copy of NUREG-1619 and Enclosure 3 contains the " Regulatory Analysis" that was prepared for this final rule, which contains NRC's cost-benefit determinations. This final rule is scheduled to become effective 180 days after publication in the Fapderal Register Since ly, -
Den s Rathbun, Director Office of congressional Affairs l-
