NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

10 CFR Part 20 

[NRC–2009–0279] 

RIN 3150–AJ29 

Radiation Protection 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking; extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: On July 25, 2014, the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

published for comment an advance 

notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) 

to obtain input from stakeholders on the 

development of a draft regulatory basis. 

The draft regulatory basis would 

identify potential changes to the NRC’s 

current radiation protection regulations. 

The potential changes, if implemented, 

would achieve a closer alignment 

between the NRC’s radiation protection 

regulations and the recommendations of 

the International Commission on 

Radiological Protection (ICRP) 

contained in ICRP Publication 103 

(2007). The public comment period was 

originally scheduled to close on 

November 24, 2014. The NRC has 

decided to extend the public comment 

period on the ANPR to provide 

additional time for members of the 

public and other stakeholders to 

develop and submit their comments. 

DATES: The comment period in the 

notice published on July 25, 2014 (79 

FR 43284) is extended. Comments 

should be filed no later than March 24, 

2015. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the Commission is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date.

II. Background 

On July 25, 2014 (79 FR 43284), the 

NRC published for comment an ANPR 

to obtain input from stakeholders on the 

development of a draft regulatory basis. 

The draft regulatory basis would 

identify potential changes to the NRC’s 

current radiation protection regulations. 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
69066 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 224 / Thursday, November 20, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

The potential changes, if implemented, 

would achieve a closer alignment 

between the NRC’s radiation protection 

regulations and the recommendations in 

ICRP Publication 103 (2007). 

The ANPR identifies specific 

questions and issues with respect to a 

possible revision of NRC’s radiation 

protection requirements. Stakeholder 

comments, including responses to the 

specific questions, will be considered by 

the NRC staff when it develops the draft 

regulatory basis. The public comment 

period was originally scheduled to close 

on November 24, 2014. The NRC has 

decided to extend the public comment 

period to allow more time for members 

of the public and other stakeholders to 

develop and submit their comments. 

The deadline for submitting comments 

is extended to March 24, 2015. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day 

of November 2014. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
