NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 40-3453]


Atlas Corporation

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On January 30, 1996, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) published a notice of availability of a Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement and a Draft Technical Evaluation Report regarding the 
proposed reclamation by Atlas Corporation of an existing uranium mill 
tailings pile near Moab, Utah. The comment period for these documents 
was 60 days from the date of the notice. The NRC has received requests 
to extend the comment period, based on the complexity of the documents 
and delays in their receipt. After review, the NRC has determined that 
it would be appropriate to extend the comment period 30 days. 
Therefore, the comment period will be extended to April 29, 1996. 
Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent 
practical. Comments on either document should be sent to Chief, Uranium 
Recovery Branch, Mail Stop TWFN 7-J9, Division of Waste Management, 
Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Myron Fliegel, Uranium Recovery 
Branch, Mail Stop TWFN 7-J9, Division of Waste Management, Office of 
Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Telephone: (301) 415-6629.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of March 1996.

    For the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
