Those Damned Lobbyists

The powerful Nuclear Power Lobbyists have succeeded in getting rid of the convenient website for Current Rulemakings.



I note that the following notice no longer appears. Apparently it was too convenient an access channel for those whom the NRC decided there should not be a straightforward disclosure.

Website Offline Notification

We are currently having technical problems with the NRC's rulemaking website. All public documents are available electronically at the NRC's Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, the public can gain entry into the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC's public documents. If you do not have access to ADAMS or if you have problems accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737 or by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov.Comments on rulemakings can be submitted via e-mail to secy@nrc.gov or via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov/.

Our contractor is taking every step to remedy the problem as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.
