What the agency says
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a notice that was published in the Federal Register on August 11, 2026. The NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations by streamlining procedural provisions related to information withholding and post-promulgation comment periods; aligning the NRC's regulations with Committee Management Secretariat Federal Advisory Committee Act standards; and updating national security eligibility criteria. The corrections on the companion proposed rule document are necessary to replace an incorrect citation and incorrect citation date. The NRC is also confirming the effective date of October 26, 2026, for this direct final rule.
