This proposed action is responsive to several executive orders and the NRC's mission to enable safe, efficient, and reliable licensing. These changes are deregulatory in nature and include streamlining the process for existing and certain new applicants to enable bringing power to the grid. Unnecessary regulations are being eliminated, and reporting and recordkeeping requirements are being changed. The NRC is proposing several other changes to clarify regulations that are confusing or ambiguous to make the overall licensing process more efficient. Finally, regulations governing the storage of radioactive material are being amended to accommodate new and advanced nuclear fuels.","document_number":"2026-12702","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/24/2026-12702/modernizing-materials-licensing","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-24/pdf/2026-12702.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-12702.pdf?1782218718","publication_date":"2026-06-24","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"excerpts":"months) would read:\n \n \n Any change to the <span class=\"match\">license</span> application and supporting <span class=\"match\">licensing</span> documents included in <span class=\"match\">license</span> conditions <span class=\"match\">must</span> be evaluated by the licensee before the change is implemented and a record of the evaluation <span class=\"match\">must</span> be retained. \n The licensee may make changes to the <span class=\"match\">license</span> application and supporting <span class=\"match\">licensing</span> documents included in <span class=\"match\">license</span> conditions without prior Commission approval, if the change: does not decrease the level of effectiveness of the design basis as described in the <span class=\"match\">License</span> Application; does not result in a degradation"},{"title":"Clarifying Special (Occupational) Tax Payments Per Business Activity","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (\"ATF\") proposes amending Department of Justice (\"Department\") regulations to clarify that a person engaged in the business of dealing, importing, or manufacturing firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act must pay a special (occupational) tax (\"SOT\") for each business activity conducted at the same location.

American firearms manufacturers estimated that these regulatory restrictions would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars per year in lost sales. BIS, informed by public comments on the Firearms IFR, has determined that the Firearms IFR should be rescinded in its entirety--with the only exception being to maintain new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs). This final rule also amends the EAR by removing the Congressional notification requirement for certain semi-automatic firearms license applications. By restoring export controls on firearms to the state they were in at the end of the first Trump Administration, BIS is advancing the Administration's commitment to reducing regulatory burdens on industry and law-abiding firearms owners.","document_number":"2025-18992","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/30/2025-18992/revision-of-firearms-license-requirements","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-09-30/pdf/2025-18992.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-18992.pdf?1759149920","publication_date":"2025-09-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Industry and Security","name":"Industry and Security Bureau","id":241,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/industry-and-security-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/241","parent_id":54,"slug":"industry-and-security-bureau"}],"excerpts":"determined that these previous <span class=\"match\">license</span> review policies and support documentation requirements in effect prior to May 30, 2024, gave BIS and the other <span class=\"match\">license</span> review agencies sufficient information to review <span class=\"match\">license</span> applications and discretion to deny <span class=\"match\">license</span> applications as warranted to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.

This final rule responds to NEIMA by creating an alternative, technology-inclusive regulatory framework to accommodate licensing of future commercial nuclear plants, including advanced reactor designs that may not employ light-water technology.","document_number":"2026-06048","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/30/2026-06048/risk-informed-technology-inclusive-regulatory-framework-for-advanced-reactors","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-30/pdf/2026-06048.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-06048.pdf?1774615514","publication_date":"2026-03-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"excerpts":"regulatory requirements for operator <span class=\"match\">licensing</span>.
