NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 50

RIN 3150-AE97


Shutdown and Low-Power Operations for Nuclear Power Reactors

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of the public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On October 19, 1994 (59 FR 52707-52714), the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission published for public comment a proposed rule 
regarding Shutdown and Low-Power Operations for Nuclear Power Reactors. 
The comment period for this proposed rule was to have expired on 
January 3, 1995. On December 2, 1994, Yankee Atomic Electric Company 
requested a sixty-day extension of the comment period on the basis that 
the technical issues associated with the proposed rule are complex in 
nature and may warrant additional time to address the comments 
adequately. In view of the importance of the proposed rule and the 
desirability of developing a final rule with adequate consideration of 
all comments to the extent practicable, the NRC has decided to extend 
the comment period by thirty days. The extended comment period now 
expires on February 3, 1995. To facilitate NRC responses to comments it 
would be appreciated if commenters could provide their comments 
electronically on a diskette, as well as by hard copy.

DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires on February 
3, 1995. 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 on or before this date.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments or suggestions to the Secretary of the 
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001, 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: Gary M. Holahan, Director, Division of 
Systems Safety and Analysis, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone 
(301) 504-2884.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of January, 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
John C. Hoyle,
Acting Secretary of the Commission.
