Short Statement: The NRC is proposing regulations that would implement its authority under the new section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), as amended, and revise existing regulations governing security event notifications. These proposed regulations are consistent with the provisions of the Firearms Guidelines the NRC published under section 161A with the approval of the U.S. Attorney General on September 11, 2009 (74 FR 46800). Changes include allowing licensees to apply for stand-alone preemption authority or combined enhanced weapons authority and preemption authority, and requiring licensees who apply for enhanced weapons authority to submit revised security plans and safety assessments and keep records of weapon inventories. Hours and responses associated with these changes are included in 73.18 and 73.19 and are reported as due to new statute. In addition, the proposed rule expands the applicability of security event notification requirements to additional facilities and activities. These information collections appear in 73.71. Burden hour changes associated with security event notifications are reported as a change due to agency discretion.
