AGENCY:
Nuclear Regulatory Comission.
ACTION:
Proposed rule: Extension of comment period.
SUMMARY
- On October 20,1992, (57 FR 47802) the NRC published for public comment a proposed rule to update the criteria used in decisions regarding power reactor siting, including geologic, seismic, and earthquake engineering considerations for future nuclear power plants.
The comment period for this proposed rule was to have expired on February 17, 1993.
On January 5,1993 the public coment period was extended to March 24, 1993 (58 FR 271). The Commission has received a request to once again extend the public comment period based on the fact that the propo cd rule presents difficult issues requiring thougntful and careful analysis if the coments are to be of maximum value to the Comission.
In particular, preparation of such comments involves careful consideration of the interplay between the proposed M3 W

demographic and seismic criteria and the relationship of the proposed criteria to the Commission's Safety Goals, severe accident requirements, and 10 CFR Part 52, as well as preparation of supporting analyses.

The Commission therefore finds that it is reasonable to extend the public comment period to June 1,1993, in order to allow all interested persons adequate time for such consideration.
i DATE: The comment period has been extended and now expires June 1,1993.
Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do

so, but the Commission is able to assure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.
