II. Discussion On November 21, 2016, the NRC solicited comments on draft regulatory guide (DG) DG-1327, ``Pressurized Water Reactor Control Rod Ejection and Boiling Water Reactor Control Rod Drop Accidents.'' The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on February 21, 2017. Because this DG proposes new guidance for analyzing accidents such as control rod ejection for pressurized water reactors and control rod drop for boiling-water reactors, the NRC has decided to extend the public comment period to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period on this document until April 21, 2017, to allow more time for members of the public to submit their comments. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of January, 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thomas H. Boyce, Chief, Regulatory Guidance and Generic Issues Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. [FR Doc. 2017-02073 Filed 1-31-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P
