On May 4, 2018, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (83 FR 19603) amending its regulations to collect information on nuclear material possessed by entities in the U.S. Caribbean Territories, as well as to allow for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection access, if requested by the IAEA. This final rule implements the requirements of The Agreement between the United States of America and the IAEA for the application of safeguards in connection with the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America, that apply to the United States based on modifications to this Agreements small quantities protocol. This final rule is effective June 4, 2018.

Review of Administrative Rules; Chapter 1 of 10 CFR; Request for Comment (NRC-2017-0214)

On May 3, 2018, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (83 FR 19464) initiating a retrospective review of administrative requirements to identify outdated or duplicative administrative requirements that may be eliminated without an adverse effect on public health or safety, common defense and security, protection of the environment, or regulatory efficiency and effectiveness. The NRC is providing an outline of its strategy and is seeking public comment on the criteria that the NRC proposes to use to identify administrative regulations for possible elimination. This retrospective review of administrative regulations will complement the NRCs existing strategy for retrospective analysis of existing regulations. Comments are due by July 2, 2018.
