DOE Retires Nevada Test-Site Traffic Rules, Lets State Take Wheel

## Summary

The Department of Energy is officially scrapping old traffic rules for the Nevada National Security Site because the site now follows Nevada’s own traffic laws. This change kicks in on August 12, 2026, and means fewer outdated rules to worry about. If you have thoughts, you’ve got until September 11, 2026, to share them online!

## Abstract

This interim final rule rescinds DOE's regulations outlining the establishment of traffic control regulations on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), formerly known as the Nevada Test Site. This action is being taken to remove regulations that are obsolete because the NNSS uses Nevada traffic enforcement statutes. The effect of this action will be the removal of obsolete regulations.
