Supplementary Information

On April 23, 2026, the NRC published a direct final rule, ``Exceptions from Foreign Ownership, Control, or Domination'' (91 FR 21719), amending its regulations in parts 50 and 54 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to implement changes to its regulations on foreign ownership, control, or domination of utilization facilities to comply with section 301 of the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on July 7, 2026. The NRC received and docketed 10 comment submissions on the companion proposed rule (91 FR 21732; April 23, 2026). Electronic copies of the comments can be obtained from the Federal Rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2024-0218 and are also available in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML26139A043 and ML26149A188. The NRC evaluated the comments against the criteria described in the direct final rule and determined that none of the comments submitted on the companion proposed rule are significant and adverse. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled. Dated: June 3, 2026. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
