SUMMARY: On August 5, 2009 (74 FR 39117), the NRC published a notice of 
availability and request for public comment on NUREG-1520. The comment 
period originally closed on September 21, 2009. This document extends 
the comment period to October 24, 2009. Also, the revision number

Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent 
practicable. To ensure efficient and complete comment resolution,

including any information in your submission that you do not want to be 
publicly disclosed.
    The NRC requests that any party soliciting or aggregating comments 
received from other persons for submission to the NRC inform those

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The standard review plan (SRP) for the 
review of a license application for a fuel cycle facility (NUREG-1520) 
provides

[[Page 41947]]

NRC staff guidance for reviewing and evaluating the safety, health, and 
environmental protection aspects of applications for licenses to 
possess and use SNM to produce nuclear reactor fuel. The licensing 
guidance revision is also intended to provide information needed to 
better risk-inform the preoperational readiness reviews. Specifically, 
items or features or aspects of the design identified during the 
licensing review as important, will be highlighted to verify compliance 
with specific commitments during the preoperational readiness reviews.
    The SRP has been updated to improve and enhance the guidance by 
providing increased clarity and definition in specific areas of the 
licensing program and adding additional guidance in areas where 
information was lacking or not suitably addressed. This effort was 
focused on improving both the clarity, and also consistency, of the 
SRP, with the Agency positions that support compliance with current 
regulations. In addition, this revision has been reformatted and 
reorganized to improve the consistency within the document.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 12th day of August, 2009.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michael Tschiltz,
Deputy Director, Fuel Facility Licensing Directorate, Division of Fuel 
Cycle Safety and Safeguards, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and 
Safeguards.
