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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 28, 2010 (75 FR 36700), the NRC 
published a notice of issuance and availability of Draft Regulatory 
Guide DG-1216, ``Plant-Specific Applicability of Transition Break Size 
Specified in 10 CFR 50.46a.'' By letter dated July 13, 2010, the 
Nuclear Energy Institute (ADAMS Accession No. ML102070019) requested an 
extension of the stated comment period for the purpose of gathering 
input from personnel with varied technical expertise. It is the desire 
of the NRC to receive comments of a high quality from all stakeholders. 
Several factors have been considered in granting an extension. 10 CFR 
50.46a will be an optional regulation for licensees, the requested 
comment period extension is within the rulemaking period, and the rule 
encompasses complex technical bases. Therefore the comment submittal 
period is extended from the original date of August 25, 2010 to 
November 8, 2010.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of July, 2010.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Harriet Katagiannis,
Acting Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of 
Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
