The Sunset Rule: Aircraft Impact Assessment

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering amending its regulations to insert a conditional sunset date to NRC’s requirements for aircraft impact assessment. This action is in response to Executive Order 14270, "Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy." NRC will consider in this action public input received on a previous rulemaking to sunset NRC regulations (90 FR 55699; December 3, 2025).
