NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 72

RIN 3150-AF02

 

List of Approved Spent Fuel Casks: Addition

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of the comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On June 2, 1994 (59 FR 28496), the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) published for public comment a proposed rule to add 
the Standardized NUHOMS Horizontal Modular Storage System to the List 
of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks. This amendment would allow the 
holders of power reactor operating licenses to store spent fuel in this 
approved cask under a general license. The comment period for this 
proposed rule expired on August 16, 1994.
    On August 11, 1994, the NRC received a request for a 6-week 
extension of the comment period from Connie Kline of the Sierra Club on 
behalf of 12 citizen groups. The extension was requested because 
several proprietary documents releated to this rulemaking were not 
available to the public for approximately 2 weeks at the beginning of 
the comment period. The Commission is extending the comment period to 
September 30, 1994. This should allow the public ample time to review 
all of the needed information and to provide the NRC with comments on 
the proposed rulemaking.

DATES: The extended comment period will expire on September 30, 1994. 
Comments received after this date will be considered if it is 
practicable to do so but the Commission is able to assure consideration 
only for comments received before this date.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments or suggestions to the Secretary of the 
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, 
Attention: Docketing and Service Branch. Copies of comments received 
may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW. 
(Lower Level), Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. G. E. Gundersen, Office of Nuclear 
Regulatory Research, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555, telephone (301) 415-6195; or Mr. K. C. Leu, Office of Nuclear 
Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
