SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 189a.(2)(A) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), grants the Commission the authority to issue and make immediately effective any amendment to an operating license or any amendment to a combined construction and operating license, as applicable, upon a determination by the Commission that such amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, notwithstanding the pendency before the Commission of a request for a hearing from any person. Section 189a.(2)(B) of the Act, as amended, requires that the Commission periodically (but not less frequently than once every 30 days) publish notice of any amendments issued, or proposed to be issued pursuant to section 189a.(2)(A). To fulfill this requirement, the NRC periodically issues a document entitled, “Monthly Notice; Applications and Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses Involving No Significant Hazards Considerations,” in the Federal Register .

Instead of publishing monthly notices every 28 days, the NRC will publish a notice approximately every 2 weeks (every 14 days). The new title for this publication will be “Biweekly Notice; Applications and Amendments to Licenses Involving No Significant Hazards Considerations.” The modification to the publication schedule is intended to better align with the guidance outlined in Executive Order 14300, “Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission” issued on May 23, 2025.

Authority:42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.

Dated: April 27, 2026.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Hipólito González,

Acting Deputy Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
