NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 40–8968]

Hydro Resources, Inc.

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of extension of public

comment period.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC), in cooperation with

the U.S. Bureau of Land Management

(BLM) and U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs

(BIA), has published a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

regarding the proposed construction and

operation of an in-situ leach (ISL)

project in McKinley County, New

Mexico. The DEIS describes and

evaluates the potential environmental

impacts of granting Hydro Resources,

Inc. combined source and byproduct

material license and minerals operating

leases for Federal and Indian lands for

the ISL project. The public comment

period for this DEIS is being extended

from January 7, 1995 to February 28,

1995.

DATES: Written comments should be

received on or before February 28, 1995,

at the address listed below. Public

meetings on this DEIS will be held at

times and locations to be announced in

a future notice.

ADDRESSES: A free single copy of this

DEIS (NUREG–1508) may be requested

by those considering public comment by

writing to the NRC Publications Section,

ATTN: Superintendent of Documents,

U.S. Government Printing Office, P.O.

Box 37082, Washington, DC 20013–

7082. A copy is also available for

inspection and/or copying in the NRC

Public Document Room, 2120 L St. NW.,

Washington, DC.

Any interested party may submit

comments on this document for

consideration by the staff. To be certain

of consideration, comments on this

report must be received by February 28,

1995. Comments received after the due

date will be considered to the extent

practical. Comments on the DEIS should

be sent to Chief, High-Level Waste and

Uranium Recovery Projects Branch,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Waste and Uranium Recovery Projects

Branch, Mail Stop TWFN 7–J9, Division

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555. Telephone 301/

415–6676.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC,

in cooperation with the BLM and the

BIA, has prepared a DEIS regarding the

administrative action of authorizing

Hydro Resources, Inc. (HRI), to conduct

in-situ leach (ISL) uranium mining, also

known as solution mining, in

compliance with a combined source and

byproduct material license issued by the

NRC, and minerals operating leases

issued for Federal and Indian lands by

the BLM and BIA. The license and

leases would provide programmatic and

regulatory oversight in administrative

matters; impose operating restrictions;

and specify monitoring, recordkeeping,

and reporting requirements. The DEIS

describes the evaluation conducted by

the interagency review group

concerning (1) the purpose of and need

for the proposed action, evaluated under

NEPA and the agencies’ implementing

regulations, (2) alternatives considered,

(3) existing environmental conditions,

and (4) environmental consequences of

the proposed action and proposed

mitigating measures. This DEIS

concludes, after weighing the

environmental, technical, and other

benefits of the proposed project against

the environmental and other costs, that

the appropriate action is to issue the

requested license and leases authorizing

the applicant to proceed with the

project as discussed in this DEIS.

A Notice of Availability and Notice of

Opportunity for Hearing were published

previously (59 FR 56557, November 14,

1994). Public comment on the DEIS was

solicited at that time. Several requests

have been received by the NRC to

extend the 60-day public comment

period. The NRC accedes to these

requests. This notice is to inform the

public that comments on this report

must be received by February 28, 1995.

Comments received after this date will

be considered to the extent practical.

Any interested party may submit

comments on this document for

consideration by the staff.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day

of January 1995.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
