Title: Event Notification Requirements 
Abstract: The proposed rule would revise the Commission's notification and reporting requirement for security and other events involving licensed nuclear facilities and the transportation of certain types of nuclear material. The proposed revisions would change several event notification and security reporting requirements to conform, where appropriate, to the event reporting requirements in part 50 for independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) and monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facility licenses to more closely align them with those of nuclear reactor facilities. In addition, the proposed revisions would change the requirements for when written follow-up reports on safeguards events must be submitted. This change would affect power reactors, ISFSI's and several other categories of facilities that produce, possess, or transport spent fuel or special nuclear material. The changes would reduce, consolidate, and remove some licensee reporting notifications and lengthen the reporting period for other notifications. Some new requirements would also be added to permit NRC to effectively carry out its regulatory responsibilities and respond to public and media inquiries during emergencies. Overall, the proposed changes would help the NRC and its licensees to better focus their efforts on the most safety-significant issues and to communicate timely information on recent and ongoing events.
