SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is making
available for comment an Emergency Action Level (EAL) frequently asked
question (FAQ). This EALFAQ will be used to provide clarification of
endorsed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) guidance related to the
development of security related EALs. This EALFAQ was developed by the
NRC at the request of NEI. The NRC is publishing this preliminary
result to inform the public and solicit comments.
DATES: Submit comments by March 8, 2010. Comments submitted after this
date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of
consideration cannot be given except for comments received on or before
this date.
ADDRESSES: Please include Docket ID NRC-2010-0034 in the subject line
of your comments. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form
will be posted on the NRC Web site and on the Federal rulemaking Web
site Regulations.gov. Because your comments will not be edited to
remove any identifying or contact information, the NRC cautions you
against including any information in your submission that you do not
want to be publicly disclosed.
The NRC requests that any party soliciting or aggregating comments
received from other persons for submission to the NRC inform those
persons that the NRC will not edit their comments to remove any
identifying or contact information, and therefore, they should not
include any information in their comments that they do not want
publicly disclosed.
