Submitting Comments Please include Docket ID NRC-2017-0185 in your comment submission. The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at http://www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions into the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information. If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. 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 [[Page 2019]] rulemaking \1\ 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ For information on delegated rulemakings see ADAMS Accession No. ML16040A011. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 24, 2017 (82 FR 40448). Specifically, the information in this Agenda has been updated through September 18, 2017. 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. Common Prioritization of Rulemaking A key part of our regulatory program is an annual review of all ongoing and potential rulemaking activities. In conjunction with our budget and long-term planning process, we develop program budget estimates and determine the relative priority of rulemaking activities using our Common Prioritization of Rulemaking (CPR) methodology (ADAMS Accession No. ML15086A074). For the most up-to-date information on the NRC's rulemaking activities, including the CPR score for each planned rulemaking activity see the NRC's Rules and Petitions web page at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/rulemaking/rules-petitions.html. The CPR methodology considers four factors and assigns a score to each factor. Factor A includes activities that support the NRC's Strategic Plan goals of ensuring the safe and secure use of radioactive materials. Factor B includes activities that support the Strategic Plan cross-cutting strategies of Regulatory Effectiveness and Openness. Specifically, this factor considers whether the rulemaking activity enhances regulatory effectiveness and/or openness in the way that the NRC conducts regulatory activities. Factor C is a governmental factor representing interest to the NRC, Congress, or other governmental bodies. Factor D is an external factor representing interest to members of the public, non-governmental organizations, the nuclear industry, vendors, and suppliers. The overall priority is determined by adding the factor scores together for each rulemaking activity. 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 the NRC's Unified Agenda The comment period on the NRC's last Agenda (published on August 24, 2017 (82 FR 40448)) will close on September 25, 2017. The NRC will address any written comments on our 2017 Agenda issuances in our next Agenda update. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of September 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Cindy Bladey, Federal Register Liaison Officer, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
