II. Discussion
Draft NUREG-2159, Revision 1, provides guidance to facilitate
compliance with applicable provisions in Subpart D of Part 74 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, ``Material Control and
Accounting of Special Nuclear Material.'' Draft NUREG-2159, Revision 1,
provides guidance for fuel cycle and other licensees and applicants who
may request authorization to hold SNM of moderate strategic
significance. Generally, this draft guidance document discusses
acceptable methods licensees and applicants may use to prepare and
implement their fundamental nuclear material control plans, and how the
NRC will review and inspect these plans. The public comment period was
originally scheduled to close on November 22, 2021. The NRC has decided
to extend the public comment period on this document until December 3,
2021, to allow more time for members of the public to submit their
comments.
Dated: November 3, 2021.
