" Key Contact: Gary Comfort, 301-415-8106. Purpose: Rulemaking for a site-specific analysis or performance assessment for t he disposal o f depleted uranium and ot her long-lived isotopes i n a near-surface disposal facility. Key InformatiProposed rule (80 FR 16082) and related guidance (80 FR 15930) were publishedin the Federal Register for public comment on March 26, 2015. The commentperiod originally ended on July 24, 2015.

3 Part 73 "Part 73-Enhanced Security for SNM
" Key Contact:
Edward Lohr, 301-415-0253 and Nick Baker , 301-415-7119. Purpose: Update security regulations within Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 73 that govern the security for special nuclear material at fixed sites and during transportation.
Update considers material attractiveness.
Key Information Make generically applicable security requirements similar to those imposed bysecurity orders issued following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.Consider risk insights, operational oversight, inspection activities, and international guidance (e.g., Material Attractiveness, Dose Limit Threshold,Sabotage, Safety
-safeguards Interface).Improve consistency and clarity.Use a risk
-informed and performance
-based structure.Public comments on the draft regulatory basis in a Federal Register noticeclosed on October 17, 2014.The staff has reviewed the regulatory basis and determined that it providesadequate justification to initiate the rulemaking.In April 2016, the Commission directed the NRC staff to suspend efforts on theEnhanced Security of SNM rulemaking. Later, the Commission directed staff t o interact with DOE in order to share and discuss perspectives and ideas on thematerial attractiveness approach in the Enhanced Security of SNM Rulemaking.
This work is on
-going. As such, the staff does not anticipate thatthe rulemaking will resume in FY2018, but could resume in early FY2019.Related Documents "Security-Related Rulemaking to Update 10 CFR Parts 73 and 26" http://www.nrc.gov/security/domestic/phys-protect/reg-initiatives

4 Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and Security Event Notifications Rulemaking Key Contact:
Robert Beall, 301-3874 and Nick Baker , 301-415-7119. Purpose: This rulemaking will: (1) implement NRC's authority under the new section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), as amended, for access to enhanced weapons and associated firearms background checks; (2) modify physical security event notifications; add requirements for reporting suspicious activities at power reactor facilities, at
-reactor Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations, and Category I strategic special nuclear materials facilities.
Key Information These proposed regulations are consistent with the provisions of the FirearmsGuidelines the NRC published under section 161A with the approval of the U.S.
Attorney General on June 25, 2014 (79 FR 36100).
