NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 61

RIN 3150-AE88

 

Land Ownership Requirements for Low-Level Waste Sites; Extension 
of Comment Period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment 
period.

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

SUMMARY: On August 3, 1994 (59 FR 39485), the NRC published for public 
comment an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to consider amending 
its regulations to allow private ownership of Low-Level Radioactive 
Waste facility sites as an alternative to the current requirement for 
Federal or State ownership. The comment period for this advance notice 
of proposed rulemaking was to have expired on October 3, 1994. The 
Nuclear Information and Resource Service has requested a 30- to 60-day 
extension of the comment period. They believe that there are many 
potentially affected individuals, communities, and organizations, who 
will need more time, and whose input could be useful in NRC's analysis 
of this proposal. In view of NRC's desire to get relevant information 
which is needed to determine the advisability for rulemaking on the 
land ownership issue, the NRC has decided to extend the comment period 
for an additional 60 days. The extended comment period now expires on 
December 2, 1994.

DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires December 2, 
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.
