Nuclear Waste Confidence Rule Public Comment Period

Three Federal Register notices published today:

1) The NRC’s proposed Waste Confidence rule for public comment:

2) The NRC’s Notice of Availability for the Waste Confidence draft generic environmental impact statement (DGEIS)

3) The Environmental Protection Agency’s Notice of Availability of the Waste Confidence DGEIS: 

The publication of these notices starts the 75-day public comment period on the Waste DGEIS and proposed rule.

 

The public comment period ends on Wednesday, November 27, 2013.

 

Comments received after November 27, 2013, will be considered as practicable. However, the NRC can only guarantee consideration of comments received on or before November 27, 2013.

In addition to presenting oral comments at any of our twelve public meetings, there are many ways to submit written comments on the DGEIS and proposed rule. The NRC gives all comments equal weight, no matter who submits them or how they are submitted. You can submit written comments through any of the methods below.
