Introduction The Agenda is a compilation of all rulemaking activities on which an agency has recently completed action or has proposed or is considering action. The Agenda reports rulemaking activities in three major categories: Completed, active, and long-term. Completed rulemaking activities are those that were completed since publication of an agency's last Agenda; active rulemaking activities are those that an agency currently plans to have an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a Proposed Rule, or a Final Rule issued within the next 12 months; and long-term rulemaking activities are rulemaking activities under development but for which an agency does not expect to have a regulatory action within the 12 months after publication of the current edition of the Unified Agenda. The NRC assigns a “Regulation Identifier Number” (RIN) to a rulemaking activity when our Commission initiates a rulemaking and approves a rulemaking plan, or when the NRC staff begins work on a Commission delegated rulemaking that does not require a rulemaking plan. The Office of Management and Budget uses this number to track all relevant documents throughout the entire “lifecycle” of a particular rulemaking activity. The NRC reports all rulemaking activities in the Agenda that have been assigned a RIN and meet the definition 
                        ( print page 17037)
                        for a completed, an active, or a long-term rulemaking activity. The information contained in this Agenda is updated to reflect any action that has occurred on a rulemaking activity since publication of our last Agenda on, August 26, 2020 (85 FR 52858). Specifically, the information in this Agenda has been updated through September 4, 2020. The NRC provides additional information on planned rulemaking and petition for rulemaking activities, including priority and schedule, on our website at 
                        *https://www.nrc.gov/​about-nrc/​regulatory/​rulemaking/​rules-petitions.html#cprlist.* The date for the next scheduled action under the heading “Timetable” is the date the next regulatory action for the rulemaking activity is scheduled to be published in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                        . The date is considered tentative and is not binding on the Commission or its staff. The Agenda is intended to provide the public early notice and opportunity to participate in our rulemaking process. However, we may consider or act on any rulemaking activity even though it is not included in the Agenda. Section 610 Periodic Reviews Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires agencies to conduct a review within 10 years of promulgation of those regulations that have or will have a 
                        *significant*
                         economic impact on a 
                        *substantial*
                         number of small entities. We undertake these reviews to decide whether the rules should be unchanged, amended, or withdrawn. At this time, we do not have any rules that have a 
                        *significant*
                         economic impact on a 
                        *substantial*
                         number of small entities; therefore, we have not included any RFA Section 610 periodic reviews in this edition of the Agenda. A complete listing of our regulations that impact small entities and related Small Entity Compliance Guides are available from the NRC's website at 
                        *http://www.nrc.gov/​about-nrc/​regulatory/​rulemaking/​flexibility-act/​small-entities.html.* Public Comments Received on NRC Unified Agenda The comment period on the NRC's last Agenda (published on, August 26, 2020 (85 FR 52858)) will close on September 25, 2020. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of September 2020. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Cindy K. Bladey, Chief, Regulatory Analysis and Rulemaking Support Branch, Division of Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
