Title: Uranium in Drinking Water [NRC-2009-0086] 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to include a new general license for a community water system (CWS) that, during the treatment of drinking water, may accumulate and concentrate naturally-occurring uranium in media, effluents, and other residuals, above 0.05 percent by weight. This rulemaking is being delayed while NRC evaluates the possibility of removing this type of activity from NRC's jurisdiction. In the meantime, a CWS may choose to operate under the enforcement discretion policy discussed in Regulatory Issue Summary RIS 06-020, "Guidance for Receiving Enforcement Discretion When Concentrating Uranium at Community Water Systems," dated September 14, 2006.
