[Docket No. RW-RM-99-963]
RIN 1901-AA72


Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management; General 
Guidelines for the Recommendation of Sites for Nuclear Waste 
Repositories; Yucca Mountain Site Suitability Guidelines; Correction

AGENCY: Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, Department of 
Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking; Correction.

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

SUMMARY: On November 30, 1999, DOE published a supplemental notice of 
proposed rulemaking to amend the policies under the Nuclear Waste 
Policy Act of 1982 for evaluating the suitability of Yucca Mountain, 
Nevada, as a site for development of a nuclear waste repository. The 
deadline for submission of comments, originally set for February 14, 
2000, was extended to February 28, 2000 in a notice published on 
January 14, 2000. In the November 30, 1999 supplemental notice of 
proposed rulemaking, DOE inadvertently included a mistaken post office 
box number in the address for submission of comments. Although DOE 
arranged with the U.S. Postal Service for forwarding of the comments 
upon receipt, the Postal Service mistakenly returned some of them to 
the original senders. To remedy this problem, DOE is posting a list of 
those persons, from whom comments have been received, on the web site 
given below, and announces that DOE will accept comments that were 
returned by the U.S. Postal Service as long as they are postmarked and 
sent to the address stated in the ADDRESSES section no later than 14 
days from the date of this notice. This document corrects the address 
given for sending comments. For a list of persons who have already 
provided comments to DOE on the proposed rulemaking, visit the 
following world wide web location: http://www.ymp.gov.

DATES: Written comments must be postmarked by March 20, 2000. DOE 
requests one copy of the written comments.

ADDRESSES: See the ``Correction'' section of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. William J. Boyle or Dr. Jane 
Summerson, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Civilian Radioactive 
Waste Management, Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Office, P.O. Box 
30307, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89036-0307, (800) 967-3477.
