Regulation Toolbox: State Tips for an Efficient Regulation Review

  • Send in rules for review electronically.
  • Provide a cover letter for the proposed changes to the regulations (sample letter).
  • Provide a cover letter for the submission of the final regulations (sample letter).
  • Cover letters should include:
    • The State's rule referenced by name.
    • The name, or Regulation Action Tracking System (RATS) ID number, of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) amendments that are covered in the rule submission.
    • If the rule change does not satisfy the compatibility and health and safety designations in SA-200, the State is requested to identify those sections and describe the State's rationale for promulgating a regulation that is not compatible with NRC's rules.
  • Use Line in/Line out format, or similar style to show text changes.
  • Send proposed rules to Deputy Director, STP as early as possible in the rulemaking process (see Contacts page).
  • When possible, adopt the text of 10 CFR or an NRC approved Suggested State Regulation (SSR).
  • The State’s regulation coordinator should contact the STP regulation coordinator prior to preparation of the rule package. (see Contacts page)
