H.R. 5549
Speeds up hearings for nuclear facility licenses
Lets the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issue nuclear construction permits and operating licenses without a hearing when no affected person asks for one, and makes hearings informal.
- Commission may skip a hearing if no affected person requests one
- Requires 30 days' public notice in the Federal Register before issuing
- Hearings would use informal procedures rather than formal trial-like ones
- Applies to applications pending on or after the law takes effect
