Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

[[Page 3053]]

SUMMARY: On December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66038), the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission published a notice of receipt of an amended petition for 
rulemaking filed by Peter G. Crane and requested public comment on the 
amended petition. In the amended petition for rulemaking, the 
petitioner seeks to amend NRC's emergency planning regulations to 
require consideration of sheltering, evacuation, and the prophylactic 
use of potassium iodide for the general public in developing a range of 
emergency planning protective actions. In addition, the petitioner has 
filed supplemental information in support of his amended petition which 
is available in the NRC Public Document Room. The comment period on the 
amended petition was to have expired on January 16, 1998. In response 
to several requests, the NRC has decided to extend the comment period 
for this action.

DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires on February 
17, 1998. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is 
practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given 
except to those comments received on or before this date.

Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and
