  • In 2018, NEI submitted a petition for rulemaking to eliminate all non-emergency event reports.
  • In 2020, the NRC staff recommended rulemaking.
  • In 2021, the Commission directed the NRC staff to pursue rulemaking with certain conditions.

Rulemaking Process 3

Regulatory Basis

  • A regulatory basis document helps the NRC decide whether rulemaking is the right solution to the problem being addressed.
  • A regulatory basis document:

- Discusses the scope of the problem and possible options

- Considers legal, policy, technical, and cost-benefit analysis

- Identifies the preferred regulatory action

  • Possible options:

- Maintain status quo

- Revise regulations

- Revise guidance

- Other?

Public Meetings

  • The NRC staff held public meetings in November and December 2021 on this rulemaking.
  • Feedback was requested on issues to be considered in the regulatory basis.
  • Several SLOs attended these public meetings.
  • All feedback was documented in the meeting summary.
  • NRC is considering all feedback it received as it develops the regulatory basis.

Project Status / Next Steps

  • The NRC staff is developing a regulatory basis.
  • There will be a public comment opportunity later this year.
  • A proposed rule and final rule would follow if the regulatory basis recommends moving forward through rulemaking.
