NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Policy Statement on the Treatment of Environmental Justice 
Matters in NRC Regulatory and Licensing Actions

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Draft policy statement: Extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On November 5, 2003 (68 FR 62642), the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) published for public comment a draft policy statement 
on the treatment of environmental justice matters in NRC regulatory and 
licensing actions. Several persons have subsequently requested an 
extension of time for submitting comments. In the interest of obtaining 
public comment from the broadest range of stakeholders, the comment 
period on the draft policy statement is being extended for an 
additional 30 days from the original January 5, 2004 deadline to 
February 4, 2004.

DATES: The comment period on this draft policy statement has been 
extended and now expires on February 4, 2004. Comments received after 
this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the 
Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received 
on or before this date.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and 
Adjudications Staff. Deliver comments to: 11555 Rockville Pike, 
Rockville, Maryland, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., on Federal 
workdays. Because of continuing disruptions in the delivery of mail to 
United States Government offices, it is requested that comments also be 
transmitted to the Secretary of the Commission either by means of 
facsimile transmission to (301) 415-1101, or by e-mail to [email protected]. 
You may also provide comments via NRC's interactive rulemaking Web site 
(http://ruleforum.llnl.gov). This site also provides the availability 
to upload comments as files if your Web browser supports that function. 
Comments received may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, or at NRC's Public 
Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
