II. Discussion

    The NRC requested public comment on the OAS PRM on August 23, 2017. 
The purpose of the request was to obtain public input and responses to 
a set of four questions about the OAS petition and how the NRC should 
proceed. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on 
November 6, 2017. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment 
period on this document until December 6, 2017, to allow more time for 
members of the public to submit their comments.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of November, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Annette L. Vietti-Cook,
Secretary of the Commission.
