NRC extends deadline on comments regarding release of solid materials



Let's try this again. (The problem is that if a line begins with "From", 
the list server computer thinks its a new message.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION



10 CFR Part 20

 

Control of Release of Solid Materials at Licensed Facilities: 

Notice of Extension of Public Comment Period on Issues Paper



AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.



ACTION: Notice of extension of public comment period on Issues Paper.



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



SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting an early 

and ongoing enhanced participatory process to consider issues and 

possible alternatives related to setting specific requirements on 

control of releases of solid materials. The NRC previously announced 

that the public comment period to provide early input on the issues and 

alternatives would end on November 15, 1999, however it is extending 

the comment period to December 22, 1999.



FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Cardile; e-mail fpc@nrc.gov, 

telephone: (301) 415-6185; Office of Nuclear Material Safety and 

Safeguards, USNRC, Washington DC 20555-0001.



SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC previously announced in a Federal 

Register Notice (FRN) dated June 30, 1999 (64 FR 35090), that it is 

considering issues and possible alternatives related to setting 

specific requirements on control of releases of solid materials. . . .


    The first public meeting planned was to be held in Chicago, 

Illinois, on August 4 and 5, 1999. However the NRC decided to postpone 

the Chicago meeting and reschedule it because several stakeholder 

groups indicated that the short time frame between publication of the 

June 30, 1999, FRN and the August 4-5 meeting did not allow for 

adequate preparation and participation. The postponed meeting has been 

rescheduled for December 7-8, 8:30 am-5:00 pm, in Chicago, IL, at the 

Palmer House Hilton, 17 East Monroe Street.

    To coincide with the rescheduling of the Chicago meeting, the NRC 

is extending the period for submittal of written and electronic 

comments until December 22, 1999.



    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of October 1999.



For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Catherine Haney,

Acting Chief, Rulemaking and Guidance Branch, Division of Industrial 

and Medical Nuclear Safety, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and 

Safeguards.
