SUMMARY: On October 9, 2008, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
published for public comment a proposal to amend its generic
determination of no significant environmental impact for the temporary
storage of spent fuel after cessation of reactor operation codified at
10 CFR 51.23(a) (73 FR 59547) and a related update and proposed
revision of its 1990 Waste Confidence Decision (73 FR 59551). The
comment period for this proposed rule and for the proposed revisions of
its Waste Confidence Decision was to have expired on December 8, 2008.
A number of requests for extension of the comment period have been
received. The NRC has decided to extend the comment period for an
additional 60 days.
DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires on February
6, 2009. 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 before this date.
