NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guides; Extension of comment period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Extension of Comment Period.

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

SUMMARY: On December 14, 2001 (66 FR 64893), the U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC) published for public comment draft 
regulatory guide DG-1111, ``Atmospheric Relative Concentrations for 
Control Room Radiological Habitability Assessments at Nuclear Power 
Plants.'' The public comment period was to have expired on March 15, 
2002. On January 25, 2002 (67 FR 3743), NRC published for public 
comment draft regulatory guide DG-1113, ``Methods and Assumptions for 
Evaluating Radiological Consequences of Design Basis Accidents at 
Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors.'' The public comment period was to 
have expired on April 30, 2002. On March 28, 2002 (67 FR 14992), NRC 
published for public comment draft regulatory guides DG-1114, ``Control 
Room Habitability at Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors,'' and DG-115, 
``Demonstrating Control Room Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power 
Reactors.'' The public comment period was to have expired on June 28, 
2002. Although issued for public comment individually, these draft 
guides are all related to control room habitability. The NRC received a 
request to extend the comment period for all four draft guides to allow 
reviewers an opportunity to review and comment on interrelationships 
between the guides. After considering of the request, NRC has decided 
to extend the public comment period for these guides until September 6, 
2002.

DATES: The public comment periods for DG-1111, DG-1113, DG-1114, and 
DG-1115 have been extended and now expire on September 6, 2002. 
Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is 
practical to do so, but the Commission is able to assure consideration 
only for comments received on or before this date.
