ACTION: Extension of public comment period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 3065]] SUMMARY: On December 31, 1996, (61 FR 69120) the NRC published for public comment a proposed generic letter concerning the effectiveness of ultrasonic testing systems in inservice inspection programs. The generic letter will enable the NRC to determine if addressees are taking appropriate action to qualify future ultrasonic testing (UT) examinations. The comment period for this proposed generic letter was originally scheduled to expire on January 30, 1997. In a letter dated January 6, 1997, the Nuclear Energy Institute requested a 29-day extension of the comment period to permit sufficient time to solicit input from its members, assemble an integrated set of industry comments, and submit a consolidated comment package to the NRC for review. In response to this request, the NRC has decided to extend the comment period. DATES: The comment period has been extended 29 days and will now expire on February 28, 1997. Comments submitted after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given except for comments received on or before this date. ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to Chief, Rules Review and Directives Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T-6D- 69, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
