This report, which is revised periodically, explains the formula acceptable to the NRC for determining the minimum decommissioning fund requirements for nuclear power reactors. Specifically, this report provides escalation factors, and updates to these values, for the labor, energy, and waste components of the minimum formula. DATES: Submit comments by December 5, 2018. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received before this date.

II. Discussion NUREG-1307, Revision 17, ``Report on Waste Burial Charges: Changes in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at Low-Level Waste Burial Facilities,'' modifies the previous revision to this report issued in March 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17060A362) and incorporates updates to the escalation factors for the labor, energy, and waste components of the NRC minimum decommissioning fund formula. As a result of these changes, the minimum decommissioning fund formula amounts calculated by licensees, based on revised low-level waste burial cost factors presented in this report and revised national labor and energy price information, will likely reflect (on average) higher minimum decommissioning fund requirements than those previously reported by licensees in 2017. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of October 2018. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Anthony R. Bowers, Chief, Financial Projects Branch, Division of Licensing Projects, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. [FR Doc. 2018-24079 Filed 11-2-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P
