INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO.3 - EXTENSION OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT RESULTING FROM RULING FROM SECOND CIRCUIT U.S. COURT OF APPEALS (TAC NO. MF0840)

Dear Sir or Madam:

On April 3, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a draft environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for public comment in the Federal Register (78 FR 20144). As stated in our letter dated March 26, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML13066A265), this action was in response to a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals concerning a 2007 exemption granted to the Commission's fire protection requirements for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No.3.

The Federal Register notice requested public comments by May 3, 2013. Due to requests from concerned stakeholders for additional time to provide comments, the public comment period has been extended by 30 days to June 3, 2013.

Please feel free to contact me at 301-415-1364 if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Douglas V. Pickett, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 1-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-286 cc: Distribution via Listserv
