(SrF=R237Nsf NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 10 CFR Part 72 RIN 3150 AE17 Emergency Planning Licensing Requirements for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facilities (ISFSI) and Monitored Retrievable Storage Facilities (MRS)
AGEtiCY:
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
l ACTION:
Proposed rule: Extension of public comment period.
j
SUMMARY
Or. May 24,1993 (58 FR 29795), the NRC published for public comment a proposed rule to provide Emergency Planning Licensing Requirements i
for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facilities (ISFSI) and Monitored Retrievable Storage Facilities (MRS).
The comment period for this proposed i
rule was to have expired on August 9, 1993.
f' The Commission has received two requests to extend the public comment period.
The consideration to extend the comment period is based on the fact that the proposed rule presents difficult issues requiring thougntful and careful analysis if the comments are to be of maximum value to the Commission.
f In particular, "... the eight remaining applicants for Federal grants to consider hosting the MRS facility are Native American Tribal Governing Councils.
These Councils represent rural, generally poor citizens who are t
difficult to contact quickly.
Frequently, members of these communities take more time than usual to discuss and evaluate complex issues such as those 4
relating to the MRS."

The Commission therefore finds that it is reasonable to extend the i
public comment period 90 days to November 9,1993, in order to allow all interested persons adequate time for such consideration.
DATE:
The comment period has been extended and now expires November 9,1993.
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.
