(Regulation Identifier Number 3150-AI92; NRC-2011-0012 and NRC-2015-0003)

On August 27, 2015, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (80 FR 51964) that 

reopened the comment period on a proposed rule (80 FR 16081; March 26, 2015) that would 

amend its regulations that govern low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities, and on draft 

guidance to address implementation of the proposed regulation, NUREG-2175, “Guidance for 

Conducting Technical Analyses for 10 CFR Part 61” (80 FR 15930; March 26, 2015). The 

public comment period for the proposed rule and draft guidance closed on July 24, 2015. The 

NRC is reopening the public comment period for the proposed rule and draft guidance to allow 

more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments. Comments should

On September 3, 2015, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (80 FR 53266)

petitioner requested that, in light of information gained from the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident, the 
SEPTEMBER 4, 2015 ENCLOSURE A 

NRC rescind its regulations that make a generic determination that spent fuel pool storage does 

not have a significant environmental impact for nuclear power plant license renewal actions. 

The NRC is denying the petition because the NRC finds no basis to consider a rulemaking to 

revise such regulations. The docket for PRM-51-29 was closed on September 3, 2015.
