This rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations to remove any use or reference to bond rating, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. The rule would develop alternate criteria, if any, to replace bond rating criteria. The purpose is to ensure financial tests are sufficient when evaluating decommissioning financial assurance. The scope of this rulemaking would affect all NRC's regulations referring to bond rating.
