SUMMARY: On June 13, 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
published for public comment a proposal to change the basis for the 
national source tracking rule from the NRC's authority to promote the 
common defense and security to protection of the public health and 
safety. The comment period for this proposed rule was to have expired 
on July 3, 2006. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Representative 
Edward Markey requested an extension to the comment period. The NRC has 
decided to extend the comment period for an additional 25 days.

2006 (71 FR 34024), has been extended and now expires on July 28, 2006.

to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for 
comments received before this date.
