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 \1\ that does not require a rulemaking plan. The 
Office of

[[Page 58165]]

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 June 11, 2018 (83 FR 27276). Specifically, the 
information in this Agenda has been updated through July 27, 2018. The 
NRC provides additional information on planned rulemaking and petition 
for rulemaking activities, including priority and schedule, on our 
website 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 website at http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/rulemaking/flexibility-act/small-entities.html.

Public Comments Received on NRC Unified Agenda

    The comment period on the NRC's last Agenda (published on June 11, 
2018 (83 FR 27276) closed on July 11, 2018. We did not receive any 
written comments on our spring 2018 Agenda.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of July 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC)

Completed Actions

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

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Independent agency.
    Legal Authority: 31 U.S.C. 483; 42 U.S.C. 2201; 42 U.S.C. 2214; 42 
U.S.C. 5841
    Abstract: This proposed rule would implement the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended, which requires the 
NRC 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 
NRC's cost of providing services to identifiable applicants and 
licensees. Examples of services provided by the NRC 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.
