NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Ch. I

Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing its 
semiannual regulatory agenda in accordance with Public Law 96-354, 
``The Regulatory Flexibility Act,'' and Executive Order 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' The agenda is a compilation of all 
rules on which the NRC has recently completed action or has proposed or 
is considering action. This issuance updates any action occurring on 
rules since publication of the last semiannual agenda on December 22, 
2003 (68 FR 74000).

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on any rule in the agenda by any one 
of the following methods. Please include the RIN (Regulation Identifier 
Number) in the subject line of your comments. Comments on rulemakings 
submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made available for 
public inspection. Because your comments will not be edited to remove 
any identifying or contact information, the NRC cautions you against 
including personal information such as social security numbers and 
birth dates in your submission.

    Mail comments to: Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, ATTN: Rulemakings and 
Adjudications Staff.

Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
adams.html. From this site, the public can gain entry into the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information concerning NRC 
rulemaking procedures or the status of any rule listed in this agenda, 
contact Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division 
of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone 301-415-
7163 (e-mail: mtl@nrc.gov). Persons outside the Washington, DC, 
metropolitan area may call, toll-free: 1-800-368-5642. For further 
information on the substantive content of any rule listed in the 
agenda, contact the individual listed under the heading ``Agency 
Contact'' for that rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information contained in this semiannual 
publication is updated to reflect any action that has occurred on rules 
since publication of the last NRC semiannual agenda on December 22, 
2003 (68 FR 74000). Within each group, the rules are ordered according 
to the Regulation Identifier Number (RIN).

    The information in this agenda has been updated through May 10, 
2004. The date for the next scheduled action under the heading 
``Timetable'' is the date the rule is scheduled to be published in 
the Federal Register. The date is considered tentative and is not 
binding on the Commission or its staff. The agenda is intended to 
provide the public early notice and opportunity to participate in 
the NRC rulemaking process. However, the NRC may consider or act on 
any rulemaking even though it is not included in the agenda.

    The NRC agenda lists all open rulemaking actions. Four rules 
affect small entities, one of which may potentially have a 
``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities'' as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of May 2004.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

 Michael T. Lesar,

Chief, Rules and Directives Branch,
Division of Administrative Services,
Office of Administration.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)                 Proposed Rule Stage

_______________________________________________________________________
 
4194. NUCLEAR POWER PLANT WORKER FATIGUE




Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 2201; 42 USC 5841

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 26

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to 
establish thresholds for the control of working hours to ensure that 
working hours in excess of the thresholds are controlled through a 
risk-informed deviation process. This rule would provide significantly 
greater assurance that worker fatigue does not adversely affect the 
operational safety of nuclear power plants. This rulemaking also would 
address a petition for rulemaking submitted by Barry Quigley (PRM-26-
02).
