Proposed Rules
[[Page 31641]]
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 110
RIN 3150-AH21
General License for Import of Major Nuclear Reactor Components
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to amend its
regulations to issue a general license for the import of major
components of utilization facilities for end-use at NRC-licensed
reactors. The amendment is necessary to facilitate imports of major
components of domestic nuclear reactors in furtherance of protection of
public health and safety and will also reduce unnecessary regulatory
burdens related to the maintenance of NRC-licensed reactors. In the
Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, the NRC is
publishing a direct final rule on this subject, because the Agency
views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates that it will not
receive significant adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the
rulemaking is set forth in the direct final rule notice. If the NRC
does not receive any significant adverse comments on this rule, then
the rule will become final on August 11, 2003, without further
proceedings. If the NRC receives significant material and adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and the NRC will
address all public comments received in a later final rule based on
this proposed rule. The NRC will not begin a second comment period.
DATES: The comment period for this proposed rule ends on June 27, 2003.
Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical
to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure only that comments received on
or before this date will be considered.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any one of the following methods.
Please include the following number [RIN 3150-AH21] in the subject line
