        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to clarify safeguards requirements for spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste stored at independent spent fuel storage installations, power reactors that have permanently ceased reactor operations, monitored retrievable storage installations, and geologic repository operations areas. This rule would allow general licensees the option of implementing the proposed safeguards requirements for spent nuclear fuel stored in approved casks at operating power reactor sites. This action is necessary to reduce the regulatory uncertainty regarding the safeguards requirements for the storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste without reducing the level of protection for public health and safety. ^PBecause the proposed requirements would clarify and codify the existing regulatory practice, there would not be any additional burden placed on current licensees. However, the NRC would derive a cost savings through a more efficient licensing process. Licensees may also derive a cost savings, e.g., if their current license conditions require guard patrols every 4 hours; under the proposed rule these patrols would be required every 8 hours. The industry would benefit from a reduction of current regulatory uncertainties. The public would benefit from a greater level of assurance that appropriate safeguards requirements are being imposed on spent nuclear fuel and HLW storage licensees through public review and comment on the proposed rule. The NRC would benefit as a result of a more efficient licensing process. The DOE would benefit from a clear statement of the safeguards measures the Commission plans to require for the geologic repository.]]></ABSTRACT>
