10 CFR Part 73 

[NRC–2009–0163] 

RIN 3150–AI64 

Physical Protection of Irradiated 

Reactor Fuel in Transit Extension of 

Comment Period 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: On October 13, 2010 (75 FR 

62695), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

published for public comment a 

proposed rule to amend its security 

regulations in title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 73 

pertaining to the transport of irradiated 

reactor fuel (for purposes of this 

rulemaking, the terms ‘‘irradiated reactor 

fuel’’ and ‘‘spent nuclear fuel’’ (SNF) are 

used interchangeably). This proposed 

rule would establish generically 

applicable security requirements similar 

to those previously imposed by 

Commission orders issued after the 

terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. 

The proposed rule would establish the 

acceptable performance standards and 

objectives for the protection of spent 

nuclear fuel shipments from theft, 

diversion, or radiological sabotage. The 

proposed amendments would apply to 

those licensees authorized to possess or 

transport spent nuclear fuel. The 

proposed security requirements would 

also address, in part, a petition for 

rulemaking from the State of Nevada 

(PRM–73–10) that requests that NRC 

strengthen the regulations governing the 

security of spent nuclear fuel shipments 

against malevolent acts. The public 

comment period for this proposed rule 

was scheduled to expire on January 11, 

2011. The NRC has determined that 

additional time is needed for public 

review of the potential impacts of the 

proposed requirements. In order to 

allow the public sufficient time to 

review and comment on the proposed 

rule, the NRC has decided to extend the 

comment period until April 11, 2011. 

DATES: The comment period has been 

extended and expires on April 11, 2011. 

Comments received after this date will 

be considered if it is practical to do so. 

The NRC is only able to assure 

consideration of comments received on 

or before this date.

Discussion 

The NRC published a proposed rule 

that would amend its regulations in 10 

CFR part 73 to enhance the security 

requirements that apply to the 

transportation of spent nuclear fuel. The 

proposed rule would establish 

generically applicable security 

requirements similar to those previously 

imposed by Commission orders issued 

after the terrorist attacks of September 

11, 2001. The proposed rule would also 

add several new requirements not 

derived directly from the security order 

requirements, but developed as a result 

of insights gained by performing 

security assessments of potential 

security vulnerabilities associated with 

spent nuclear fuel in transit. The 

proposed rule would establish the 

acceptable performance standards and 

objectives for the protection of spent 

nuclear fuel shipments from theft, 

diversion, or radiological sabotage. The 

proposed amendments would apply to 

those licensees authorized to possess or 

transport spent nuclear fuel. The 

proposed security requirements would 

also address, in part, a petition for 

rulemaking from the State of Nevada 

(PRM–73–10) that requests that NRC 

strengthen the regulations governing the 

security of spent nuclear fuel shipments 

against malevolent acts. 

The proposed rule was published on 

October 13, 2010 (75 FR 62695) and the 

public comment period was scheduled 

to expire on January 11, 2011. The NRC 

has determined that additional time is 

needed for public review of the 

potential impacts of the proposed 

requirements. In order to allow the 

public sufficient time to review and 

comment on the proposed rule, the NRC 

has decided to extend the comment 

period until April 11, 2011. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day 

of January 2011. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Andrew L. Bates, 

Acting Secretary of the Commission.
