{"abstract":"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to implement the Social Security Number Fraud Prevention Act of 2017. This statute directed agencies to issue regulations that prohibit the inclusion of an individual's Social Security account number (Social Security number or SSN) on any document sent through the mail unless the head of the agency deems it necessary and the appropriate precautions are taken to protect the SSN. Applicants, licensees, and members of the public who are required to submit a form containing a SSN may be affected.","action":"Direct final rule.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2020/06/02/2020-11899.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"9","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"35","title":10}],"citation":"85 FR 33527","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2020-07-02","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This direct final rule is effective August 17, 2020, unless significant adverse comments are received by July 2, 2020.
