II. Discussion

    On June 18, 2014 (79 FR 34792), the NRC published a request for 
public comments on draft ISG FSME-ISG-02, ``Guidance for Conducting the 
Section 106 Process of the National Historic Preservation Act for 
Uranium Recovery Licensing Actions.'' The purpose of this draft ISG is 
to assist NRC staff in conducting the Section 106 process of the 
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA), specific 
to uranium recovery licensing actions. This guidance document is 
primarily intended for the NRC staff and does not impose regulatory 
requirements. This draft ISG also provides useful information to 
participants in the Section 106 process for uranium recovery licensing 
actions. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on 
September 2, 2014. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment 
period on this document until November 17, 2014, to allow more time for 
members of the public to submit their comments.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of August 2014.

    For the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

 Deputy Director, Decommissioning and Uranium Recovery Licensing 
Directorate, Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection,
