II. Background

    In November 1980, the Federal Emergency Management Agency issued 
``Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency 
Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants'' 
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1) with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) as a joint policy document. (45 FR 85862, December 30, 1980). 
Since the publication of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1 in 1980, four 
supplementary documents and one addendum (66 FR 22270, May 3, 2001) 
have been issued that update and modify specific planning and 
procedural elements. FEMA and the NRC are proposing to revise NUREG-
0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1 to address stakeholder interest and the various 
emergency planning and preparedness lessons learned since its initial 
publication.
    On May 29, 2015, both FEMA and the NRC published notices to solicit 
public input on the draft ``Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of 
Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of 
Nuclear Power Plants,'' NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 2. (80 FR 30697 and 
80 FR 30739). Based on comments received, and because FEMA and the NRC 
have specifically requested the public's comments on the proposed 
revised guidance in an attempt to benefit from the experience of all 
interested parties, the comment period will be extended for an 
additional 45 days. This notice announces the extension of the public 
comment period to October 13, 2015.
