"VG NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 10 CFR PART 71 RIN:
3150-AC41 Transportation Regulations; Compatibility with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): Third Extension of Public Coment Period AGENCY:
Nuclear Regulatory Comission ACTION:
Proposed rule: Extension of comment period l
SUMMARY
- On June 8,1988 (53 FR 21550), the NRC published for public coment a proposed rule.to make its transportation regulations in 10 CFR Part 71 compatible with those of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as contained in IAEA Safety Series No. 6, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material,1985 Edition. This rulemaking action, combined with a parallel action by the Department of Transportation (DOT), would make United States regulations for the safe transportation of radioactive material internationally compatible. Because it is important that the public have the opportunity to review and coment on the DOT and NRC proposed rules concurrently, NRC set its initial public coment period to expire on October 6,1988, expecting the DOT rule to be available for publication by the end of June 1988. Publication of the DOT proposed rule has been delayed several times, and is now expected by the middle of April 1989. To achieve its goal of having some portion of the public coment period comon for both rules, the NRC is extending its coment period to expire on he date 60 days after the date the DOT proposed rule is published in the Federal Register.
When the'00T proposed rule is published, NRC will issue another notice which will include a date certain when the NRC coment period will expire.
