II. Further Information
On January 10, 2014 (79 FR 1900), the NRC published a request for
public comment on draft NSIR/DPR-ISG-02, ``Emergency Planning Exemption
Requests for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants.'' This document is
being developed to assist NRC staff in the review of requests for
exemptions from specific emergency preparedness regulations and license
amendments for defueled station emergency plans submitted by nuclear
power plant licensees after permanent cessation of plant operations.
The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on
March 11, 2014. By letter dated February 20, 2014, the Nuclear Energy
Institute requested a 30-day extension to the public comment period.
Additional time was requested in order to incorporate comments that
might result from the NRC's public meeting scheduled for March 6, 2014,
concerning NSIR/DPR-ISG-02. The NRC has decided to extend the public
comment period on this document to allow more time for members of the
public to use information from the March 6, 2014, public meeting to
develop their comments. The deadline for submitting comments will be
extended to April 10, 2014.
