Radiation Protection: Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Request for 

Comments; 10 CFR Part 20, Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 3150-AJ29; 

NRC-2009-0279)

On July 25, 2014, the NRC published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking in the

Federal Register (79 FR 43284) to obtain input from stakeholders on the development of a draft 

regulatory basis. The draft regulatory basis would support potential changes to NRC’s current 

radiation protection regulations. The goal of this effort is to achieve greater alignment between 

NRC’s radiation protection regulations and the 2007 recommendations of the International 

Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) contained in ICRP Publication 103 (2007). 

Comments are due by November 24, 2014.
