Description

This interim final rule rescinds the Department of Energy's regulations for traffic control at the Nevada National Security Site, formerly known as the Nevada Test Site. The rule is considered obsolete because traffic enforcement at the site is governed by Nevada state traffic laws and enforced by the Nye County Sheriff's Office. The rescission eliminates outdated federal regulations, reducing regulatory burden and federal enforcement responsibilities. Public comments on this interim final rule are requested by September 11, 2026.
