REGULATIONS. DOE regulations are the documents by which DOE establishes

binding requirements of general applicability. DOE regulations are adopted pursuant to

the Administrative Procedures Act. While they are related to and consistent with DOE

directives documents and, in particular, DOE policy statements, they are separate from

the DOE directives system. DOE is currently promulgating a set of nuclear safety

regulations which are based on statutory authority and do not require any additional

authority to be applicable to activities performed in connection with a DOE nuclear

facility. When promulgated and published in the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR),

these regulations will be subject to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 820, "Procedural Rules

for DOE Nuclear Activities." These regulations will implement the DOE directive on

nuclear safety policy. [EH62dd1]
