WORKING GROUP CHARTER Revision of Administrative Requirements Rulemaking Plan PURPOSE: The purpose of the Revision of Administrative Requirements Rulemaking Plan Working Group (WG) is to assist the Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support (REFS) in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) with the development of a rulemaking plan(s) to eliminate or modify certain U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administrative requirements identified by a recently conducted retrospective review. The rulemaking will enhance the agencys efficiency and ensure that the agencys regulations remain current and effective. This charter describes the WGs composition, activities, and schedule.

BACKGROUND: The NRC conducted a Retrospective Review of Administrative Requirements (RROAR) initiative to identify outdated or duplicative administrative requirements in Chapter I of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations that may be eliminated or modified without an adverse effect on the NRCs mission. The review identified regulatory changes that are administrative in nature that would make information submission, recordkeeping, and reporting processes more efficient for the NRC, applicants, and regulated entities. The NRC staff provided the scope of these regulatory changes in Enclosure 1 to the RROAR Informational SECY paper (ADAMS Accession No. ML21013A026) that is expected to be issued in May 2021.

The WG will use this analysis to guide the rulemaking plan development, and if the Commission approves, the subsequent regulatory basis, proposed, and final rule(s).

MEMBERSHIP: This WG is sponsored by NMSS/REFS with direct support from the NRC staff members in the offices of NMSS, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), Office of the General Counsel (OGC), Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR), Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), and the Organization of Agreement States, Inc. (OAS). The membership and roles are depicted in the table below. The WG may seek additional expertise on an as-needed basis.
