The publisher's summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations by streamlining procedural provisions related to information withholding and post-promulgation comment periods; aligning the NRC's regulations with Committee Management Secretariat (CMS) Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) standards; and updating national security eligibility criteria. The goal is to modernize and clarify the NRC's regulatory framework to ensure consistency with government-wide standards and improve administrative efficiency. The scope includes updates to outdated provisions and revisions to ensure compliance with current federal policies. This action is being undertaken in response to Executive Order 14300, "Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."
