Submit comments by March 30, 2012. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. Although a time limit is given, comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in guides currently being developed or improvements in all published guides are encouraged at any time.

Supplementary Information

On December 13, 2011 (76 FR 77431), the NRC published a notice of issuance and availability of Draft Regulatory Guide DG-4014, “Decommissioning Planning During Operations.” This DG refers to NUREG-1757 Volume 3, Revision 1, “Financial Assurance, Recording Keeping, and Timeliness,” that provides guidance on the financial aspects of the Decommissioning Planning Rule. The NUREG is scheduled for publication on February 27, 2012. Therefore the comment submittal period for DG-4014 is extended from the original date of February 10, 2012 to March 30, 2012.
