COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 2 and 50

RIN 3150–AG38

Antitrust Review Authority:

Clarification

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of

comment period.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) issued a proposed

rulemaking on November 3, 1999 (64 FR

59671), that would clarify its regulations

to reflect more clearly its limited

antitrust review authority. Because there

has been significant interest in the issue

and because the comment period

included the end-of-year holiday period,

the NRC is agreeing to a request from

the public to extend the comment

period.

DATES: The new comment period will

expire on February 15, 2000. Comments

received after this date will be

considered if it is practical to do so, but

the Commission is able to assure

consideration only for comments

received on or before this date.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be sent to: Secretary of the Commission,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention:

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff.

the NRC’s interactive rulemaking web

site (http://ruleforum.llnl.gov). This site

as files (any format), if your web

browser supports that function. For

rulemaking may be examined at the

Receipt of Petition for Rulemaking

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Petition for rulemaking; Notice

of receipt.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) has received, and

requests public comment on, a petition

for rulemaking filed by David A.

Barbour, Philotechnics. The petition has

been docketed by the Commission and

assigned Docket No. PRM–40–28. The

petitioner requests that the NRC amend

its regulations governing the domestic

licensing of source material to provide

additional rules for the effective control

of depleted uranium aircraft

counterweights. The petitioner believes

that this regulatory clarification should

address a number of issues concerning

the exemption, storage, and disposal of

these devices.

2000. Comments received after this date

will be considered if it is practical to do

so, but assurance of consideration

cannot be given except as to comments

received on or before this date.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to:

Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

Attention: Rulemakings and
