NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 50

RIN 3150-AC93


Codes and Standards for Nuclear Power Plants; Subsection IWE and 
Subsection IWL: Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 7, 1994, (59 FR 979), the NRC published for public 
comment a proposed rule to amend its regulations to incorporate by 
reference the 1992 Edition with the 1992 Addenda of Subsection IWE, 
``Requirements for Class MC and Metallic Liners of Class CC Components 
of Light-Water Cooled Power Plants,'' and Subsection IWL, 
``Requirements for Class CC Concrete Components of Light-Water Cooled 
Power Plants,'' of Section XI, Division 1, of the American Society of 
Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME B&PV Code) 
with specified modifications and a limitation. The comment period for 
this proposed rule was to have expired on March 23, 1994. The Nuclear 
Management and Resources Council (NUMARC) has requested an extension of 
the public comment period until April 25, 1994, so that NUMARC can 
provide necessary and constructive comments. In order to assure that 
the NRC receives the most meaningful comments possible, the NRC has 
decided to extend the public comment period for the additional thirty-
three days. The extended comment period now expires on April 25, 1994.

DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires April 25, 
1994. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is 
practical to do so but the Commission is able to assure consideration 
only for comments received before this date.

ADDRESSES: Written comments or suggestions may be submitted to the 
Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch. Deliver 
comments to: 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD between 7:45 am and 
4:15 pm Federal workdays. Copies of the regulatory analysis, the

and comments received may be examined in the Commission's Public 
Document Room at 2120 L Street NW. (Lower Level), Washington, DC.

Submission of Comments in Electronic Format

    The comment evaluation process will be improved if each comment is 
identified with document title, section heading, and paragraph number 
addressed. In addition to the original paper copy, submitters are 
encouraged to provide a copy of their letter in an electronic format on 
IBM PC compatible 3.5- or 5.25-inch diskettes. Data files should be
