amend the Animal Welfare regulations

to establish standards for ‘‘swim-withthe-dolphin’’ interactive programs.

Comments regarding the proposed

rule were required to be received on or

before February 22, 1995. During the

comment period, we received a request

that we extend the comment period

beyond February 22. The requestor, a

marine mammal industry association,

stated that additional time is necessary

to allow its members to meet and to

formulate comments.

In response to this request, we are

extending the comment period for

1995. This will allow time for the

requestor and other interested persons

to develop comments on the proposed

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

10 CFR Parts 50, 52 and 100

RIN 3150–AD93

Reactor Site Criteria Including Seismic

and Earthquake Engineering Criteria

for Nuclear Power Plants and

Proposed Denial of Petition From Free

Environment, Inc., et al.

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of

comment period.

SUMMARY: On October 17, 1994, the NRC

published (59 FR 52255) for public

comment a proposed revision of 10 CFR

parts 50, 52, and 100 to update the

criteria used in decisions regarding

power reactor siting, including geologic,

seismic, and earthquake engineering

considerations for future nuclear power

plants. The comment period was to

expire on February 14, 1995.

On February 8, 1995, the Commission

stated (60 FR 7467) that it intended to

extend the comment period to allow

interested persons adequate time to

provide comments on staff guidance

documents consisting of five draft

regulatory guides and three standard

review plan sections that were to

accompany the proposed rule, but were

delayed in issuance. The Commission

stated that it would extend the comment

period 75 days after the staff guidance

documents became available.

Availability of the above staff

guidance documents is being

announced in the Notices section of this

issue of the Federal Register. The

comment period for the proposed rule is

hereby extended to May 12, 1995.

DATES: Comment period now expires

May 12, 1995. 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: Mail written comments to:

Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555,

Attention: Docketing and Service

Branch.

Hand deliver comments to 11555

Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland,

workdays.

Comments may be submitted

electronically, in either ASCII text or

Wordperfect format (version 5.1 or

later), by calling the NRC Electronic

Bulletin Board (BBS) on FEDWORLD.

The bulletin board may be accessed

with a personal computer, a modem,

and one of the commonly available

communications software packages, or

directly via Internet. Certain background

documents on the rulemaking are also

available for downloading and viewing.

With a personal computer and

modem, the NRC rulemaking subsystem

can be accessed on FEDWORLD, toll

free, by directly dialing 1–800–303–

9672. Communication software

parameters should be set as follows:

parity to none, data bits to 8, and stop

bits to 1 (N,8,1). Using ANSI or VT–100

terminal emulation, the NRC

rulemaking subsystem can be accessed

by selecting the ‘‘Rules Menu’’ option

from the ‘‘NRC Main Menu.’’ For further

information about options available for
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 1995 / Proposed Rules 10811

NRC at FEDWORLD, consult the ‘‘Help/

Information Center’’ from the ‘‘NRC

Main Menu.’’ Users may also find the

‘‘FEDWORLD Online User’s Guides’’

helpful.

The NRC subsystem on FEDWORLD

also may be accessed directly by dialing

703–321–8020 for the main FEDWORLD

BBS, or by using Telnet via Internet:

fedworld.gov. If 703–321–8020 is

dialed, the NRC subsystem can be

accessed from the main FEDWORLD

menu first by selecting ‘‘Regulatory,

Government Administration and State

Systems,’’ then selecting ‘‘Regulatory

Information Mall.’’ A menu will display

an option ‘‘U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission’’ that will lead to the NRC

Online main menu. The NRC Online

area also may be accessed directly by

typing ‘‘/go nrc’’ at a FEDWORLD

command line. If NRC is accessed from

FEDWORLD’s main menu, one may

return to FEDWORLD by selecting the

‘‘Return to FEDWORLD’’ option from

the NRC Online Main Menu. If NRC at

FEDWORLD is accessed via NRC’s tollfree number, full access will be

available to all NRC systems, but there

will be no access to the main

FEDWORLD system.

If FEDWORLD is contacted using

Telnet, the NRC area and menus will be

available, including the Rules Menu.

While documents may be downloaded

and messages left, it is not possible to

write comments or upload files

(comments). If FEDWORLD is contacted

using FTP, all files can be accessed and

downloaded but uploads are not

possible; a list of files without their

descriptions (normal Gopher look) will

be seen. An index file listing all files

within a subdirectory, with

descriptions, is available. There is a 15

minute time limit for FTP access.

Although FEDWORLD also may be

accessed through the World Wide Web,

this only provides access to download

files and does not display the NRC

Rules Menu.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 94–ANE–56]

Airworthiness Directives; Textron

Lycoming ALF502L Series Turbofan

Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

Textron Lycoming ALF502L series

turbofan engines. This proposal would

establish reduced retirement life limits

for stage 1 and stage 3–7 compressor

disks, and stage 2 turbine disks, and

provide a drawdown schedule for disks

already beyond the reduced retirement

life limits. This proposal is prompted by

new life analyses of these components.

The actions specified by the proposed

AD are intended to prevent disk failure,

which could result in an inflight engine

shutdown and extensive engine damage.

DATES: Comments must be received by

May 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), New England

Region, Office of the Assistant Chief

Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket No.
