| 2020-27776 | Alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an amendment to its regulations that would alter financial assurance mechanisms approved by the NRC for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. Specifically, this action would amend provisions for parent company and self company guarantees that require bond ratings issued by credit rating agencies. This action would implement the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, which directed agencies to amend their regulations to remove any reference to or reliance on credit ratings. Applicants and licensees who are required to provide decommissioning financial assurance may be affected. The NRC is soliciting public comment on potential approaches for amending the regulations and invites stakeholders and interested persons to participate. The NRC plans to hold a public meeting during the comment period to facilitate stakeholder participation. | 2020-12-21 | 2020 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/21/2020-27776/alternatives-to-the-use-of-credit-ratings | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-12-21/pdf/2020-27776.pdf | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an amendment to its regulations that would alter financial assurance mechanisms approved by the NRC for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities.
