Title: Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) Enhancement [NRC-2009-0088] 
Abstract: This proposed rule would have amended the Commission’s regulations to Part 50, Appendix E, Section VI, to modernize the Emergency Response Data System (ERDs) to increase its reliability and ability to provide nuclear plant information to the NRC, specifically addressing the technology used to transmit data from power reactor facility sites to the NRC and the scope and number of data points that are transmitted by power reactor facility sites.  The NRC staff subsequently determined that the rule did not need to be amended to permit the change in data transmission technology.  A voluntary program was established with industry to accomplish this goal (see Regulatory Issue Summary 2009-13).  Any changes regarding the scope and number of data points to be transmitted will be addressed in future rulemaking activities related to ERDS requirements for new reactor designs. Therefore, the NRC is no longer pursing this rulemaking and it will no longer appear in the NRC’s portion of the Unified Agenda.
