NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Proposed Generic Communication; Effectiveness of Ultrasonic
Testing Systems in Inservice Inspection Programs
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 3065]]
SUMMARY: On December 31, 1996, (61 FR 69120) the NRC published for
public comment a proposed generic letter concerning the effectiveness
of ultrasonic testing systems in inservice inspection programs. The
generic letter will enable the NRC to determine if addressees are
taking appropriate action to qualify future ultrasonic testing (UT)
examinations. The comment period for this proposed generic letter was
originally scheduled to expire on January 30, 1997. In a letter dated
January 6, 1997, the Nuclear Energy Institute requested a 29-day
extension of the comment period to permit sufficient time to solicit
input from its members, assemble an integrated set of industry
comments, and submit a consolidated comment package to the NRC for
review. In response to this request, the NRC has decided to extend the
comment period.
DATES: The comment period has been extended 29 days and will now expire
on February 28, 1997. Comments submitted after this date will be
considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of consideration
cannot be given except for comments received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to Chief, Rules Review and
Directives Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T-6D-
69, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Written comments may also be delivered
to 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:15
p.m., Federal workdays. Copies of written comments received may be
examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW. (Lower
Level), Washington, DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald G. Naujock (301) 415-2767.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of January, 1997.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
