``Guidance for Developing Principal Design Criteria for Non-Light Water

omitted from the ``NRC Rationale for Adaptions to GDC'' section of 
General Design Criterion (GDC) 26, ``Reactivity Control Systems,'' in 
Appendices A, B, and C of DG-1330, and provides the NRC's Agencywide

the DG and the regulatory analysis for the DG. The NRC is also 
extending the public comment period for an additional 15 days to allow 
stakeholders time to review the change and provide comments.

DATES: The due date for comments requested in the FR notice published 
on February 3, 2017 (82 FR 9246), is extended. Comments should be
