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.
    We assign 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. We report all rulemaking activities in the Agenda 
that have been assigned a RIN and meet the definition 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 December 23, 2016 (81 FR 94894). Specifically, the 
information in this Agenda has been updated through March 31, 2017. The 
NRC provides additional information on planned

[[Page 40449]]

rulemaking and petition for rulemaking activities, including priority 
and schedule, on our Web site 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/rulemaking/flexibility-act/small-entities.html.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 31st day of March 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Cindy Bladey,
Chief, Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Division of 
Administrative Services, Office of Administration.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC)

Proposed Rule Stage

377.  Revision of Fee Schedules: Fee Recovery for FY 2018 [NRC-
2017-0026]

    Legal Authority: 31 U.S.C. 483; 42 U.S.C. 2201; 42 U.S.C. 2214; 42 
U.S.C. 5841
    Abstract: This rule would implement the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended, which requires the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission to recover approximately 90 percent of 
its budget authority in a given fiscal year, less the amounts 
appropriated from the Waste Incidental to Reprocessing, generic 
homeland security activities, and Inspector General services for the 
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, through fees assessed to 
licensees. This rulemaking would amend the Commission's fee schedules 
for licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to its applicants 
and licensees. The licensing and inspection fees are established under 
10 CFR part 170 and recover the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's cost of 
providing services to identifiable applicants and licensees. Examples 
of services provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for which 10 
CFR part 170 fees are assessed include license application reviews, 
license renewals, license amendment reviews, and inspections. The 
annual fees established under 10 CFR part 171 recover budgeted costs 
for generic (e.g., research and rulemaking) and other regulatory 
activities not recovered under 10 CFR part 170 fees.
