This rulemaking would revise the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations to (1) streamline implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), (2) alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens, and (3) expand flexibilities for applicants and licensees while complying with environmental requirements. The revisions are necessitated by and consistent with the U.S. Council on Environmental Quality's recision of its NEPA implementing regulations, Executive Order (EO) 14300, Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” and EO 14154, Unleashing American Energy.”
