NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2009-0263]


Draft Regulatory Guide: Comment Period Extension and Correction

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Reissuance and Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide 
(DG)-1229; Comment Period Extension and Correction.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Szabo, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone: 301-415-1985 or e-
mail: [email protected].

SUMMARY: On January 13, 2011, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) published a notice in the Federal Register (76 FR 2425) 
announcing the reissuance and availability of Draft Regulatory Guide 
(DG)-1229, titled ``Assuring the Availability of Funds for 
Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors.'' This Federal Register notice stated 
that electronic copies of DG-1229 were available in the NRC's 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) (http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html), under Accession No. ML103350136 and 
that the regulatory analysis was available under ML103350166. The ADAMS 
accession numbers assigned to DG-1229 and noted in 76 FR 2425 are 
incorrect. Due to this error, the comment period has been extended to 
allow the public access the correct version.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC issued a notice of reissuance and 
availability of DG-1229, ``Assuring the Availability of Funds for 
Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors'' on January 13, 2011. The ADAMS 
accession numbers for the regulatory analysis and the draft regulatory 
guide noted on page 2426 of volume 76, ``further information'' section 
were incorrect. The content should read ``The regulatory analysis is 
available

[[Page 4391]]

electronically under ADAMS accession number ML103400018'' and 
``Electronic copies of DG-1229 are available through the NRC's public 
Web site under Draft Regulatory Guides in the ``Regulatory Guides'' 
collection of the NRC's Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/. Electronic copies are also available in 
ADAMS (http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html), under Accession No. 
ML103400008.'' Due to this error, the public has been granted 10 
additional days to comment on DG-1229. The comment submittal deadline 
is extended from the original March 14, 2011 deadline to March 24, 
2011.

II. Further Information

    The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG-1229. Comments may be 
accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should 
mention DG-1229 in the subject line. Comments submitted in writing or 
in electronic form will be made available to the public in their 
entirety through ADAMS.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any one of the following methods. 
Please include Docket ID NRC-2009-0263 in the subject line of your 
comments. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be 
posted on the NRC website and on the Federal rulemaking website 
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.
