II. Discussion

    On September 11, 2020, the NRC solicited comments to gather 
information that will permit the NRC staff to develop the FYs 2022-2026 
Strategic Plan framework (85 FR 56275). The Strategic Plan describes 
how the agency intends to achieve its two strategic goals: (1) Ensure 
the safe use of radioactive materials, and (2) ensure the secure use of 
radioactive materials. The plan provides an overview of the NRC's 
responsibilities and lays out the objectives, strategies, and key 
activities that will be used to achieve the agency's strategic goals.
    The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on 
October 13, 2020. The NRC received an email from an external 
stakeholder (ADAMS Accession No. ML20275A405) requesting the comment 
period for this activity be extended by an additional 30 days to permit 
adequate stakeholder engagement on this topic. The NRC will extend the 
public comment period until November 13, 2020 to allow more time for 
members of the public to develop and submit their comments.

    Dated: October 7, 2020.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Executive Director for Operations.
