[NRC-2017-0214]


Retrospective Review of Administrative Requirements

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Request for comment; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 4, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) requested input from its licensees and members of the public to 
identify outdated or duplicative administrative requirements that may 
be eliminated without an adverse effect on public health or safety, 
common defense and security, protection of the environment, or 
regulatory efficiency and effectiveness. The public comment period 
originally was scheduled to close on April 6, 2020. The NRC has decided 
to extend the public comment period to allow more time for members of 
the public to develop and submit their comments.

DATES: The comment period for the document published on February 4, 
2020 (85 FR 6103) is extended. Comments should be filed no later than 
May 6, 2020. 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.

II. Discussion

    On February 4, 2020, the NRC published a document in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 6103) requesting input from its licensees and members 
of the public to identify outdated or duplicative administrative 
requirements that may be eliminated without an adverse effect on public 
health or safety, common defense and security, protection of the 
environment, or regulatory efficiency and effectiveness. The public 
comment period was originally scheduled to close on April 6, 2020. By 
letter dated March 12, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20084Q158), the 
Nuclear Energy Institute requested that the NRC extend the comment 
period by 30 days. The NRC is granting this request and will extend the 
public comment period until May 6, 2020, to allow more time for members 
of the public to submit their comments.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of March 2020.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
John R. Tappert,
Director, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, 
Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
