Madam Secretary, I believe we have one item for affirmation. Would you please lead the Commission through?

CARRIE M. SAFFORD: Yes. Todays item is SECY-19-0062: Final Rule: Non-power Production or Utilization Facility Renewal.

The Commission is being asked to act on a final rule amending the NRCs regulations that govern the license renewal process for non-power reactors and certain other production or utilization facilities collectively referred to as NPUFs. The final rule would: (1) eliminate license terms for facilities, other than testing facilities, licensed under 10 CFR 50.21(a) or (c); (2) define the license renewal process for NPUFs (including testing facilities) licensed under 10 CFR 50.22

and testing facilities licensed under 10 CFR 50.21(c); (3) require all NPUF licensees to submit to the NRC an updated final safety analysis report (FSAR) and subsequent FSAR updates at intervals not to exceed 5 years; and (4) provide an accident dose criterion of 1 rem total effective dose equivalent for NPUFs other than testing facilities.

The Commission has voted to approve the publication and implementation of this final rule, subject to the attached edits. The Commission has also certified, under the Regulatory Flexibility Act that this rule will not have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Would you please affirm your votes after I call your name?
