requested public comment on an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to
obtain input from stakeholders on the agency's plan to amend its
regulations on categorical exclusions for licensing, regulatory, and
administrative actions that individually or cumulatively do not have a
significant effect on the human environment. The public comment period
closed on July 21, 2021. The NRC has decided to reopen the public
comment period until September 21, 2021, to allow more time for members
of the public to develop and submit their comments.
DATES: The comment period for the advance notice of proposed rulemaking
published on May 7, 2021 (86 FR 24514), is reopened and now closes on
September 21, 2021. 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.
