Draft
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of revised deadlines for public comments on draft NUREG-
1560.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has published a draft of
``Individual Plant Examination Program: Perspectives on Reactor Safety
and Plant Performance,'' NUREG-1560, Volumes 1 and 2. Volume 1, Part 1
is a summary report from a review of the Individual Plant Examinations
(IPE) submitted to the agency in response to Generic Letter
[[Page 4366]]
88-20. Volume 2, Part 2-5 provides an in-depth discussion of the
insights and findings summarized in Volume 1, Part 1. In addition, the
NRC staff will conduct a public workshop (April 7, 8, 9, 1997) to
discuss the contents of the draft NUREG and to solicit comments (See FR
notices 61 FR 58429 and 61 FR 65248). In response to requests for
additional time to comment, the deadline for public comments on the
draft NUREG-1560 is postponed for one month to March 14, 1997, and any
additional public comments after the workshop are due within 30 days of
the workshop, by May 9, 1997.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Draft NUREG-1560 (Volume 1, Part 1 and
Volume 2, Parts 2-5) is available for inspection and copying for a fee
at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street N.W. (Lower Level),
Washington DC 20555-0001. A free single copy of Draft NUREG-1560, to
the extent of supply, may be requested by writing to Distribution
Series, Printing and Mail Services Branch, Office of Administration,
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Since there is a wealth of information in the draft NUREG-1560
which provides in-depth discussions on insight findings, the staff
recognizes that the public may need extra time to review the draft
NUREG and provide relevant comments on the accuracy of the reported
results in the IPEs and the appropriateness of the interpretation of
the results. In addition, some IPEs/PRAs have been modified and may
have an impact on the perspectives discussed in the draft NUREG.
Therefore, the deadline for public comments has been extended from
February 14, 1997 to March 14, 1997, and any additional public comments
after the workshop are due within 30 days of the workshop, by May 9,
1997.
