UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. James Lieberman 11804 Rosalinda Drive Potomac, MD 20854
Dear Mr. Lieberman:
I am writing in response to your Petition for Rulemaking (PRM) dated April 15, 2013, as amended September 16, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession Nos. ML13113A443 and ML13261A190, respectively). The petition was docketed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as PRM-50-107. In the petition you requested that the NRC amend its regulations in Parts 30, 40, 50, 52, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, and 72 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to expand NRCs regulatory framework to make it a legal obligation for those non-NRC-regulated entities who seek NRC regulatory approvals to be held to the same legal standards for the submittal of complete and accurate information as would a licensee or an applicant for a license.
The NRC published notices of receipt in the Federal Register for PRM-50-107 and for an amendment to that petition, on June 10, 2013 (78 FR 34604), and January 21, 2014 (79 FR 3328), respectively. The NRC requested public comment for both the original and amended petitions and received three comment submissions in support of the petition.
The NRC has determined that although your petition provides a basis to revise the regulations, there is no immediate safety, environmental, or security concern raised by your petition. The NRC is, therefore, denying your petition. The reasons for the denial are explained in the enclosed Federal Register notice, which will be published shortly in the Federal Register. Upon publication of the enclosed notice, the NRC will discontinue the rulemaking activity and close the docket for PRM-50-107.
You may direct any questions regarding this matter to Meena K. Khanna, by calling 301-415-2150 or by e-mailing Meena.Khanna@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, Annette L. Vietti-Cook Secretary of the Commission
