Requirements for Fingerprint-Based Criminal History Records 
Checks for Individuals Seeking Unescorted Access to Research or Test 
Reactors

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is reopening the 
public comment period for the proposed rule that was published on July 
10, 2010. The proposed rule would amend the NRC's regulations by 
requiring research and test reactor licensees to obtain a fingerprint-
based criminal history records check before granting any individual 
unescorted access to their facilities. The comment period for this 
proposed rule, which closed on October 4, 2010, is reopened and will 
remain open until January 31, 2011.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published July 10, 2010 
(75 FR 42000), has been reopened and now closes on January 31, 2011. 
Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical 
to do so, but the NRC is able to assure consideration only for comments 
received on or before this date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Submitting Comments and Accessing Information

    Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be posted 
on the NRC Web site and on the Federal rulemaking Web site, http://www.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.

extension of the public comment period until January 31, 2011 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML102790180). The Commission has granted your request. 
Therefore, the NRC is reopening the public comment period until January
