Numark Associates, Inc. in Washington, DC. The objective of this task order is to obtain

Revisions to Transportation Safety Requirements and Harmonization with International

On August 14, 2015, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (80 FR 48683) that 

corrected a final rule published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2015 (80 FR 33988). The 

final rule, in consultation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, amended the NRC’s 

regulations for the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. The final rule contained 

minor editorial errors in a calculation, outdated contact information, and outdated information for 

examining the materials that are incorporated by reference. This document corrected the final

Congress. The proposed revisions would clarify and restructure the criteria used by the NRC 

and Agreement States for determining whether to consider an incident or event as an AO. The 

proposed revisions to the policy statement would ensure consistency with current NRC 

guidance and regulations. Public comments are due by November 16, 2015.
