The Sunset Rule-Aircraft Impact Assessment
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Sunset Rule amends the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations to include a conditional sunset date for aircraft impact assessments required under 10 CFR Part 50. This rule aims to comply with Executive Order 14270, which promotes zero-based regulatory budgeting to streamline regulations. The sunset date is set for April 8, 2027, unless extended after public input on the costs and benefits of the regulation. It allows the NRC to reconsider the necessity of the aircraft impact assessment requirements based on new evaluations and comments received from the public.
