SUMMARY: On February 4, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

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

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of the public to identify outdated or duplicative administrative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.
