WASHINGTON, March 30 -- Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a rule called: Categorical Exclusions From Environmental Review.
The rule was published in the Federal Register on March 30 by Tomas Herrera, Acting Secretary of the Commission.
Summary: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations for categorical exclusions for licensing, regulatory, and administrative actions that do not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. This final rule eliminates the need to prepare environmental assessments for such NRC actions. The final rule will not change any requirements for applicants or licensees.
