Measurex Corp.; Denial of Petition for Rulemaking

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is denying a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Measurex Corporation. The petition was docketed by the Commission, and was assigned Docket No. PRM-150-3. The petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations concerning Agreement State regulation of byproduct material to require Agreement States to notify the NRC of proposed and completed regulatory actions and to require that the NRC publish notices of Agreement States' proposed and completed rulemakings. The NRC is denying the petition because there would be no safety benefit by NRC actions to consolidate and further disseminate this information; the process of collecting and disseminating this information would place a significant administrative and economic burden on the NRC and the Agreement States; and the information sought by the petitioner on proposed and completed Agreement State rulemakings is already available from a number of sources.
