Environmental Quality Board
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Consistency Rule
Regulation No. 7-550 (# 3208)

 On July 16, 2018, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this regulation from the Environmental Quality Board (Board). This rulemaking amends 25 Pa. Code Chapters 215, 217, 230 and 232. Notice of proposed rulemaking was omitted for this regulation; it will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 This final-omitted rulemaking brings the Commonwealth into compatibility with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) radioactive materials program. Several provisions of 10 CFR were identified that should be excluded from 25 Pa. Code Chapters 215, 217, 230 and 232 because the provisions can only be implemented by the NRC.

 We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (35 P.S. §§ 7110.301 and 7110.302) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

 This regulation is approved.
