ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 61

[FRL-5337-5]


National Emissions Standards for Radionuclide Emissions From 
Facilities Licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Federal 
Facilities not Covered by Subpart H

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Reopening of comment period and notice of public hearings.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Radiation and Indoor Air, Radiation Protection 
Division is reopening the comment period for the proposal to rescind 
subpart I for NRC and Agreement State licensees other than nuclear 
power reactors; and will also hold public hearings on this proposed 
rule to rescind 40 CFR part 61, subpart I.
    We are reopening the comment period to allow the public the 
opportunity to view NRC's proposed constraint level rule. When EPA 
first published it's notice of proposed rulemaking on September 28, 
1995 (60 FR 50161, No.188), it was with the expectation that NRC's 
proposal was forthcoming and at that point we placed a draft of the 
proposal provided to us in the public docket (A-92-50). Due to NRC's 
delay in publishing their proposed constraint level rule, EPA needs to 
provide additional time for the public to review the actual proposal 
from NRC.

DATES: The reopening of the comment period allows comments to be 
received by EPA on or before January 20, 1996. The hearings will be 
held on Tuesday, January 9, 1996, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

ADDRESSES: The hearings will take place at the Marriott Hotel, 1999 
Jefferson Davis Highway, in Arlington, VA (accessed from the Crystal 
City Metro stop). Comments should be submitted (in duplicate if 
possible) to: Central Docket Section, Environmental Protection Agency, 
Attn: Air Docket No. A-92-50, Washington, DC 20460. Docket A-92-50 
contains the rulemaking record. The docket is available for public 
inspection between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:30 pm, Monday through 
Friday, in room M1500 of Waterside Mall, 401 M Street SW., Washington, 
DC 20460. A reasonable fee may be charged for copying. The fax number 
is (202) 260-4400.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eleanor Thornton, Program Analyst, 
Center for Federal Guidance and Air Standards, Radiation Protection 
Division, Office of Radiation and Indoor Air (6602J), Environmental 
Protection Agency, Washington, DC 20460, (202) 233-9773.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is open to any member of the 
public. As noted in the notice reopening the comment period (60 FR 
50161, No.188, September 28, 1995), requests to participate in the 
public hearing should be made in writing to the Director, Lawrence G. 
Weinstock, Radiation Protection Division, Office of Radiation and 
Indoor Air (6602J), Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, 
Washington, DC 20460, by January 3, 1996. Requests may also be faxed to 
EPA at (202) 233-9629 or 233-9626. Requests to participate in the 
public hearing should also include an outline of the topics to be 
addressed, the amount of time requested, and the names of the 
participants. EPA may also allow testimony to be given at the hearing 
without prior notice, subject to time restraints and at the discretion 
of the hearing officer. Three (3) copies of testimony should be 
submitted at the time of appearance at the hearings.

    Dated: November 22, 1995.
Mary D. Nichols,
Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
