2, ``Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency 
Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants.''

then select ``Begin Web-based ADAMS Search.'' For problems with ADAMS, 
please contact the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 
1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by email to [email protected]. The 
draft guidance document is available in ADAMS under Accession No. 
ML14246A519.
     NRC's PDR: You may examine and purchase copies of public 
documents at the NRC's PDR, Room O1-F21, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

II. Discussion

    On May 29, 2015, the NRC requested comments on draft NUREG-0654/
FEMA-REP-1, Revision 2, ``Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of 
Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of 
Nuclear Power Plants.'' Comments on the draft document were also 
requested by FEMA on the same date (80 FR 30697). The public comment 
period was originally scheduled to close on August 27, 2015. On June 
23, 2015, the Nuclear Energy Institute submitted a request to the NRC 
and FEMA to extend the public comment period an additional 90 days 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15205A187). The NRC, in conjunction with FEMA, 
has decided to extend the public comment period on this document until 
October 13, 2015, to allow more time for members of the public to 
submit their comments. This represents a 45-day extension, rather than 
90 days as requested, in consideration of the extensive public outreach 
and stakeholder engagement throughout the development of the draft 
document, which provided opportunities for reviewing and providing 
feedback on preliminary versions of the document. A 45-day extension 
should provide sufficient additional time for comments to be provided.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of August, 2015.
    For the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Brian E. Holian,
Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response.
