II. Background

    On March 9, 2012 (77 FR 14446), the NRC requested public comments 
on draft LR-ISG-2011-03. Comments were to be submitted by April 9, 
2012. By letter dated March 27, 2012, the Nuclear Energy Institute 
(NEI) requested the comment period be closed on April 20, 2012. The NRC 
staff is granting NEI's request. The NRC staff believes that granting 
the request to close the comment period on April 20, 2012, will allow 
stakeholders a chance to better prepare their responses to LR-ISG-2011-
03.
