Background===

- 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?
4
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.
5
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.
