NOPOSED RULE h[(
Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Proposed Geologic Rapository at Yucca, Mountain, Nevada AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of comment period.
SUMMARY
- On February 22, 1999 (64 FR 8640), the NRC published for a 75-day public comment period a proposed rule establishing licensing criteria for disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes in a proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The comment period for the proposed rule was to have expired on May 10, 1999. The NRC received several requests for extension of the public comment period at public meetings held on the proposed rule in Las Vegas, and Beatty, Nevada, on March 23 and March 25, respectively. The requesters cited the complex, technical nature of the proposed rule, and their need to review other documents being developed as part of the nation's high-level radioactive waste management program, as principal reasons for the extension request.
The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period for an additional 51 days. The extended comment period will now expire on June 30, 1999.
DATES: The public comment period has been extended and now expires June 30, 1999. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is , , !
practical to do so, but the NRC is able to assure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.
