Comment on FR Doc # 2026-09877, NRC-2025-1205-0001, from Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation

Summary: The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) opposes the proposed Standard General License framework, arguing it will cause significant revenue losses for Agreement States and create confusion for the regulated community. They recommend a streamlined specific licensing pathway instead, citing concerns over inspection costs, safety oversight, and inaccurate cost-benefit analyses in the NRC's proposal.
