Peter G. Crane; Receipt of an Amended Petition for Rulemaking, Extension of Comment Period

摘要

On December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66038), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a notice of receipt of an amended petition for rulemaking filed by Peter G. Crane and requested public comment on the amended petition. In the amended petition for rulemaking, the petitioner seeks to amend NRC's emergency planning regulations to require consideration of sheltering, evacuation, and the prophylactic use of potassium iodide for the general public in developing a range of emergency planning protective actions. In addition, the petitioner has filed supplemental information in support of his amended petition which is available in the NRC Public Document Room. The comment period on the amended petition was to have expired on January 16, 1998. In response to several requests, the NRC has decided to extend the comment period for this action.
