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

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 31, 2021 / UA: Reg Flex Agenda 17037 

for a completed, an active, or a longterm 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/smallentities.html.
