NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2009-0262]
Guidance for Fuel Cycle Facility Change Processes
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 14, 2011 (76 FR 41527), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or Commission) re-issued Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-
3037, ``Guidance for Fuel Cycle Facility Change Processes'' in the
Federal Register for a 30 day public comment period. The NRC is
extending the public comment period for DG-3037 from August 12, 2011 to
September 16, 2011.
DG-3037 describes the types of changes for fuel cycle facilities
for which licensees are to seek prior approval from the NRC. The
guidance discusses how licensees can evaluate potential changes to
determine whether NRC approval is required before implementing a
change. This regulatory guide also describes the level of information
that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in documenting
and reporting changes made without prior NRC approval.
DATES: Submit comments by September 16, 2011. Comments received after
this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC
is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before
this date. Although a time limit is given, comments and suggestions in
connection with items for inclusion in guides currently being developed
or improvements in all published guides are encouraged at any time.
ADDRESSES: Please include Docket ID NRC-2009-0262 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, 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. You may submit comments by any one of the following
methods:

2009-0262. Address questions about NRC dockets to Carol Gallagher,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 14, 2011 (76 FR 41527), the NRC
published a notice of issuance and availability of Draft Regulatory
Guide DG-3037, ``Guidance for Fuel Cycle Facility Change Processes.''
By e-mail
[[Page 44050]]
dated July 7, 2011, the Nuclear Energy Institute (ADAMS Accession No.
ML111930008) requested an extension of the stated comment period for
the purpose of providing sufficient review while attending planned
public meetings related to the subject matter of the proposed guide. 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. The requested comment period extension is reasonable and
does not affect NRC deadlines. The additional time will allow
stakeholders to discuss the proposed guide during related meetings.
Therefore the comment submittal period is extended from the original
date of August 12, 2011 to September 16, 2011.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of July 2011.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering,
Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
