Department of Transportation (DOT). In addition, the proposed rule would make administrative, editorial, or clarification changes to the NRCs regulations. The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to discuss the draft regulatory basis and facilitate public participation.

DATES: Submit comments by May 28, 2019. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so; however, the NRC is only able to ensure consideration of comments received on or before this date.

II. Discussion In SECY-16-0093, Rulemaking Plan for Revisions to Transportation Safety Requirements and Harmonization with International Atomic Energy Agency Transportation Requirements, dated July 28, 2016, the staff requested Commission approval to initiate a rulemaking to harmonize part 71 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material, with the IAEAs safety requirements and the DOTs regulations. The proposed rule would revise 10 CFR part 71 to be in harmony with the IAEAs requirements and compatible with the DOTs regulations. In addition, the proposed rule would include staff-initiated administrative, editorial, or clarification changes. The Commission approved the staffs recommendation in the staff requirements memorandum (SRM) associated with SECY-16-0093, dated August 19, 2016.

The NRC reviewed the updated IAEA requirements in Specific Safety Requirements No. 6 (SSR-6), 2012 and 2018 editions, and initially identified 14 regulatory issues to be analyzed during the rulemaking process. These issues were documented in an issues paper that was published in the Federal Register for public comment on November 21, 2016 (81 FR 83171). The NRC subsequently held a public meeting on December 5-6, 2016, to discuss the issues with stakeholders.

After the public meeting, the NRC received 49 comment letters on the issues paper.

The DOT participated in the public meeting held in December 2016 to discuss the issues paper, and the staff has engaged with the DOT staff in the current rulemaking to identify and evaluate gaps between 10 CFR part 71 regulations and the updated IAEA requirements in SSR-6, 2012 and 2018 editions. The DOT also plans to undertake a similar action to harmonize its regulations for the transportation of radioactive material in 49 CFR parts 107 and 171 through 180 with SSR-6, 2012 and 2018 editions.

After the publication of the issues paper, the staff identified several additional items that were grouped under a new issue, designated as Issue

15. The draft regulatory basis documents the basis for the NRCs recommendation to revise the existing regulations in 10 CFR part 71. The draft regulatory basis includes a main document and two appendices.

Appendix A provides a summary of cost estimates and uncertainty analysis.

Appendix B provides detailed assessments of the regulatory issues identified and analyzed by the NRC and used to scope and provide justification for the proposed revisions to 10 CFR part 71.

In the draft regulatory basis, the NRC describes its evaluation of four alternative actions to achieve the objectives of the harmonization initiative. These are: No-action option that would maintain the status quo (Alternative 1); issue generic communications and regulatory guidance (Alternative 2); issue license specific conditions and exemptions (Alternative 3); and initiate a rulemaking to revise 10 CFR part 71 (Alternative 4).

The NRC evaluated these alternatives in terms of their viability to address the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Apr 11, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\\FR\\FM\\12APP1.SGM 12APP1 jbell on DSK30RV082PROD with PROPOSALS

14900 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 71 / Friday, April 12, 2019 / Proposed Rules regulatory issues of concern and their cost estimates and determined that a combination of rulemaking (Alternative

4) and the no-action alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred approach. Specifically, the NRC recommends no action for Issues 3 and 5 and rulemaking for the remaining issues.

The recommended rulemaking action is consistent with the NRCs response to previous revisions and updates of the international requirements by the IAEA and would not impose broad programmatic requirements on the NRC, nor would it have any significant negative effects on the NRCs licensees or certificate holders. In addition, the rulemaking action can be expected to reduce regulatory burden on licensees by maintaining consistency between the NRCs and DOTs regulations and aligning the U.S. domestic regulations with the IAEAs requirements, thereby eliminating potential conflicts or duplication across requirements.

III. Specific Request for Comment The NRC is requesting public comment on the draft regulatory basis and its supporting appendices. In preparing comments, consider the following questions:

(1) Regulatory issues: The NRC has identified and analyzed 15 regulatory issues to be considered in a proposed rule. Do you have comments on the regulatory issues or the scope of analysis performed by the NRC? Are there any other issues or areas of concern that ought to be considered in a proposed rule?

(2) Impacts: Does the draft regulatory basis, including supporting documentation, address all potential impacts of a proposed rule? Are there any additional regulatory or other impacts that should be addressed before or during development of a proposed rule?

(3) Evaluation of options: The draft regulatory basis provides a discussion of alternatives and options for harmonizing the regulations in 10 CR part 71 with the IAEA regulations. Are there any additional alternatives or options that the NRC should consider before development of a proposed rule?

(4) Proposed revisions to the existing regulations: Do you have comments on the proposed revisions to the existing regulations as discussed in the draft regulatory basis?

(5) Other comments: Are there any other concerns that you think should be addressed before or during development of a proposed rule?

IV. Cumulative Effects of Regulation The cumulative effects of regulation (CER) describe the challenges that licensees or other affected entities (such as Agreement State regulatory partners) may face while implementing new regulatory positions, programs, and requirements (e.g., rules, generic letters, backfits, inspections). The CER is an organizational effectiveness challenge that results from a licensee or affected entity implementing a number of complex positions, programs, or requirements within a limited implementation period and with available resources (which may include limited available expertise to address specific issues). The NRC has implemented CER enhancements to the rulemaking process to facilitate public involvement throughout the rulemaking process. Therefore, the NRC is specifically requesting comment on the cumulative effects that may result from a proposed rule. In developing comments on the draft regulatory basis, consider the following questions:

(1) In light of any current or projected CER challenges, what should be a reasonable effective date, compliance date, or submittal date(s) from the time the final rule is published to the actual implementation of any new proposed requirements, including changes to programs, procedures, or the facility?

(2) If current or projected CER challenges exist, what should be done to address this situation (e.g., if more time is required to implement the new requirements, what time period would be sufficient, and why such a time frame is necessary)?

(3) Do other regulatory actions (e.g.,

orders, generic communications, license amendment requests, and inspection findings of a generic nature) by the NRC or other agencies influence the implementation of the potential proposed requirements?

(4) Are there unintended consequences? Does a proposed rulemaking action create conditions that would be contrary to the purpose and objectives of the 10 CFR part 71 harmonization initiative? If so, what are the consequences and how should they be addressed?

(5) Please consider providing information on the estimates of the costs and benefits of a proposed rulemaking action, which can be used to support any additional regulatory analysis by the NRC.

V. Public Meeting The NRC will conduct a public meeting to describe the draft regulatory basis and to give the public an opportunity to ask questions.

The NRC will publish a notice of the location, time, and agenda for the meeting on the NRCs public meeting website at least 10 calendar days before the meeting. Stakeholders should monitor the NRCs public meeting website for information about the public meeting at: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm. The meeting notice will also be added to the Federal Rulemaking website at http://
