SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing
additional information for a notice published in the Federal Register
on February 3, 2017, issuing draft regulatory guide (DG), DG-1330,
``Guidance for Developing Principal Design Criteria for Non-Light Water
Reactors,'' for a 60-day public comment period. This action is
necessary to inform the public that a paragraph was inadvertently
omitted from the ``NRC Rationale for Adaptions to GDC'' section of
General Design Criterion (GDC) 26, ``Reactivity Control Systems,'' in
Appendices A, B, and C of DG-1330, and provides the NRC's Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession numbers for
the DG and the regulatory analysis for the DG. The NRC is also
extending the public comment period for an additional 15 days to allow
stakeholders time to review the change and provide comments.
DATES: The due date for comments requested in the FR notice published
on February 3, 2017 (82 FR 9246), is extended. Comments should be
submitted by April 20, 2017. 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.
