Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act

This bill streamlines nuclear licensing by allowing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to issue certain permits and licenses without a public hearing, provided they give 30 days' notice in the Federal Register. It specifically applies to construction permits, operating licenses, and amendments for nuclear facilities or testing sites, reducing procedural delays for routine applications. The NRC may skip the 30-day notice and public hearing requirement only if it determines an amendment involves "no significant hazards." This directly affects nuclear facility operators and the NRC, which implements the new process for all pending applications after enactment.
