SUMMARY: On July 5, 2012 (77 FR 39745), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission) issued Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-

diesel generators and oil-fueled gas turbine generators, including
assurance of adequate fuel oil quality.

this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC

II. Background
On July 5, 2012 (77 FR 39745), the NRC published a notice of
issuance and availability of DG-1282. By email dated July 27, 2012, the
Nuclear Energy Institute (ADAMS Accession No. ML12214A372) requested an
extension of the stated comment period for the purpose of providing
sufficient review to ensure that the changes incorporated in the draft
guidance adequately reflect the contemporary practices it purports to
address. 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 31, 2012 to September 28, 2012.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of August, 2012.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
