SUBJECT:

VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION- EXTENSION OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR PERMANENTLY DEFUELED EMERGENCY PLAN AND EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL SCHEME CHANGE AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NO. MF4279)

Dear Sir or Madam:

On December 9, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a proposed no significant hazards consideration determination for public comment and the opportunity to request a hearing and petition for leave to intervene in the Federal Register (79 FR 731 09).

This action was in response to your application dated June 12, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML14168A302), to revise the site emergency plan and Emergency Action Level scheme to reflect the reduced scope of offsite and onsite emergency planning and the significantly reduced spectrum of credible accidents that can occur for the permanently defueled condition for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.

The Federal Register notice requested public comments by January 8, 2015. Due to requests from concerned stakeholders for additional time to provide comments, the public comment period has been extended by 30 days to February 9, 2015.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-4125.

Sincerely,

!C-.-
