You can't change rules in secret and any company that uses the incompetence of this administration to cut corners on safety and process should be vilified and banned for the nuclear industry for all time.
What the hell are they thinking?!? This is NOT an "oh, my bad. Made a silly mistake. Here is my money for the fine" this is a "oh shit, I'm sorry, now half of Kansas is uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years" kind of mistake. You can't unring that bell.
