NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Extension of Public Comment Period: 

Louisiana Energy Services National 

Enrichment Facility

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Extension of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: The NRC is extending further 

the public comment period for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

for the Proposed National Enrichment 

Facility (NEF) in Lea County, New 

Mexico (NUREG–1790). The notice of 

availability of the DEIS appeared in the 

Federal Register on September 17, 2004 

(69 FR 56104), with the public comment 

period to end on November 6, 2004. On 

November 9, 2004, the NRC extended 

the public comment period until 

December 18, 2004 (69 FR 64983). 

On October 25, 2004, the NRC 

suspended public access to its 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) database 

accessible through the NRC’s Web site 

and initiated an additional security 

review of publicly-available documents 

to ensure that potentially sensitive 

information is removed. This security 

review is ongoing and the exact date of 

its completion is not certain. 

However, from October 25, 2004, until 

December 6, 2004, members of the 

public continued to have access to the 

DEIS through NRC’s project-specific 

Web site (http://www.nrc.gov/materials/

fuel-cycle-fac/lesfacility.html). Members 

of the public also had access to the 

Environmental Report (ER) submitted by 

Louisiana Energy Services (LES) for the 

NEF through the same Web site until 

November 28, 2004. The links to the 

DEIS and the ER were suspended on 

December 7, 2004, and on November 29, 

2004, respectively, while the NRC staff 

conducted its security review of these 

documents. 

By this notice, the public comment 

period on the DEIS is being extended 

further until January 7, 2005. This 

extension of the public comment period 

will allow members of the public an 

additional opportunity to obtain 

relevant documents in order to 

comment on the DEIS. The NRC staff 

will make available on its projectspecific Web site redacted copies of the 

DEIS, the ER, and LES’s responses to 

NRC staff requests for additional 

information related to the ER. Redacted 

versions of these documents are 

expected to be accessible beginning on 

December 23, 2004. Interested members 

of the public may obtain copies of 

additional publicly-available documents 

for review and/or copying by contacting 

the NRC Public Document Room. The 

NRC Public Document Room is located 

at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, MD, 

and can be contacted at 800–397–4209 

or 301–415–4737 or pdr@nrc.gov.

Members of the public are invited and 

encouraged to submit comments to the 

Chief, Rules Review and Directives 

Branch, Mail Stop T6–D59, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington, 

DC 20555–0001. Please note Docket No. 

70–3103 when submitting comments. 

Written comments submitted by mail 

should be postmarked by January 7, 

2005, to ensure consideration. 

Comments mailed after that date will be 

considered to the extent practical. 

Comments will also be accepted by email to nrcrep@nrc.gov, or by facsimile 

to 301–415–5397, Attention: Anna 

Bradford.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general or technical information
