NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 50

[Docket No. PRM-50-78]


Robert H. Leyse; Receipt of Petition for Rulemaking, Extension of 
Comment Period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Petition for rulemaking; extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On October 31, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
published for public comment a notice of receipt of a petition for 
rulemaking (PRM) filed by Robert H. Leyse (PRM-50-78). The petitioner 
is requesting that the NRC regulations that govern domestic licensing 
of production and utilization facilities be amended to address the 
impact of fouling on the performance of heat transfer surfaces 
throughout licensed nuclear power plants. The comment period for this 
PRM was to have expired on December 16, 2002, after a 45-day comment 
period. The comment period is normally 75 days. The NRC has decided to 
extend the comment period for an additional 30 days.

DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires on January 
16, 2003. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is 
practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given 
except as to comments received on or before this date.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to: Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Attention: Rulemaking and 
Adjudications staff.
    Deliver comments to 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland,
