Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Official abstract: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to revise System of Records NRC 16, which includes Privacy Act records regarding facility operator licensees, to reflect the NRC's issuance of a final rule establishing a new risk-informed, technology-inclusive regulatory framework for advanced reactors. This final rule establishes a new part within the NRC's regulations that includes, among other things, provisions for licensing facility operators. The revision to NRC 16 clarifies that the system will now include records about individuals licensed as operators under the new regulations, while continuing to include records about individuals licensed under the NRC's pre-existing operator licensing regulations. This system notice is subject to a 30- day public comment period.
