SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Extension of the Public Comment 

Period 

The proposed rule which is the 

subject of this notice was published in 

the Federal Register on August 22, 2005 

(70 FR 49014). That notice requested 

public comment on the proposed 

amendments to the public health and 

environmental radiation protection 

standards for Yucca Mountain, Nevada 

(40 CFR part 197). 

At that time, EPA announced a 60-day 

public comment period ending on 

October 21, 2005. However, the Agency 

has received formal requests from 

several stakeholders to extend the 

comment period to 180 days. EPA 

recognizes the high level of interest in 

the issue of Yucca Mountain and that 

the proposed rule addresses safety over 

unprecedented time frames. 

Furthermore, the Agency agrees that it 

is important to allow adequate time for 

public information to readily reach 

more rural areas, particularly in Nevada, 

which may be affected by decisions 

related to Yucca Mountain. In view of 

these factors, and in consideration of 

requests from the stakeholders, EPA is 

extending the comment period an 

additional 30 days to end on November 

21, 2005. This will provide a full three 

months for the public to submit 

comments, as much time as EPA 

provided for the full Yucca Mountain 

standards issued in 2001, which 

covered a significantly wider array of 

issues. 

II. Additional Public Hearing in Las 

Vegas, Nevada 

EPA is also adding an additional day, 

October 6, 2006, for a public hearing in 

Las Vegas, to respond to concerns about 

schedule conflicts with religious 

holidays. Hearings for two days 

(October 4 and October 5) in Las Vegas 

were announced in a previous Federal 

Register notice published on September 

14, 2005 (70 FR 54325–54327). That 

notice also announced hearings in
