NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 51
RIN 3150-AD63
Environmental Review for Renewal of Nuclear Power Plant Operating
Licenses; Delay of Effective Date and Extension of Comment Period
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date and extension of comment
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 5, 1996, a final amendment to 10 CFR Part 51 was
published in the Federal Register (61 FR 28467), to establish new
requirements for the environmental review of applications to renew the
operating licenses of nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) solicited public comment on this rule for a period of
30 days, ending July 5, 1996. Absent a determination by the NRC that
the rule should be modified, based on comments received, the final rule
was to be effective on August 5, 1996. In response to a request to
extend the comment period, the NRC is issuing this notice extending the
comment period. The effective date is also delayed to accommodate the
extended comment period.
DATES: Absent a determination by the NRC that the rule should be
modified, based on comments received, the final rule shall be effective
on September 5, 1996. The new comment period expires August 5, 1996.
