## Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is rescinding EA- 02-109, "Issuance of Order for Interim Safeguards and Security Compensatory Measures for the Transportation of Spent Nuclear Fuel [SNF] Greater than 100 Grams," dated October 10, 2002, and subsequent similar security orders issued to licensees shipping SNF during the period of October 2003 through December 2010. These orders are collectively referred to as the "SNF Transportation Orders." The SNF Transportation Orders are being rescinded because the NRC published a final rule, "Physical Protection of Irradiated Fuel in Transit," on May 20, 2013, amending its regulations to incorporate the security requirements in the SNF Transportation Orders and lessons learned from implementation of the SNF Transportation Orders.
