5048, ``Standard Format and Content of Physical Security Plans, 
Training and Qualifications Plans and Safeguards Contingency Plans for 
Nuclear Power Plants'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML17124A490). The NRC 
granted an initial extension of the public comment period to August 13, 
2018, and the NRC held a public meeting on July 25, 2018. On July 26, 
2018, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) requested an additional 30 
days extension to the public comment period to allow NEI and its 
members' sufficient time to perform a thorough review of the document, 
consistent with other work priorities (ADAMS Accesion No. ML18208A473). 
The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period on this 
document until September 13, 2018, to allow more time for industry and 
members of the public to submit their comments.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of August 2018.
