Availability of Official Records

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations on availability of official records in three areas. The proposed rule would require those who submit documents claimed to contain proprietary or other confidential information to mark the information as specified to decrease the chances of inadvertent public release of the information by the NRC, codify NRC's current practices delineating the circumstances under which the agency will not return confidential documents that have been submitted to the NRC, and clarify that the NRC will make as many copies of copyrighted material submitted to the agency as it needs to perform its mission. The proposed rule is necessary to conform the NRC's regulations regarding the availability of official records to existing case law and agency practice.
