I. Background

    On June 18, 2014, the NRC solicited comment from members of the 
public on a draft regulatory basis addressing the need for a rulemaking 
to enhance the security of special nuclear material (79 FR 34641). The 
public comment period ended on October 17, 2014. The NRC received a 
total of 26 comment submissions from individuals, non-government 
organizations, and industry. The NRC staff reviewed and considered the 
comments in finalizing the regulatory basis. The regulatory basis is 
available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML14321A007 or on the Federal 
rulemaking Web site, www.regulations.gov, under Docket ID NRC-2014-
0118.

II. Publicly-Available Documents

    As the NRC continues its ongoing proposed rulemaking effort to 
amend portions of part 73 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR) to enhance security of special nuclear material, 
the NRC is making documents publicly available on the Federal 
rulemaking Web site, www.regulations.gov, under Docket ID NRC-2014-
0118. By making these documents publicly available, the NRC seeks to 
inform stakeholders of the current status of the NRC's rulemaking 
development activities and to provide preparatory material for future 
public meetings.
    The NRC may post additional materials relevant to this rulemaking 
at www.regulations.gov, under Docket ID NRC-2014-0118. Please take the 
following actions if you wish to receive alerts when changes or 
additions occur in a docket folder: (1) Navigate to the docket folder 
(NRC-2014-0118); (2) click the ``Email Alert'' link; and (3) enter your 
email address and select how frequently you would like to receive 
emails (daily, weekly, or monthly).

III. Plain Writing

    The Plain Writing Act of 2010, (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal 
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, well-organized manner 
that also follows other best practices appropriate to the subject or 
field and the intended audience. Although regulations are exempt under 
the Act, the NRC is applying the same principles to its rulemaking 
documents. Therefore, the NRC has written this document to be 
consistent with the Plain Writing Act.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of April 2015.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal and Rulemaking
