Pennsylvania Requests NRC to Enter Agreement on Regulatory Authority Transfer

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is being asked to enter into an agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which would transfer portions of the NRC's regulatory authority to the state, as authorized by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. The NRC is seeking public comment on the proposed agreement and the draft staff assessment of the Pennsylvania regulatory program.
