Enter Antarctic Specially Protected
Areas. The applicant plans to enter
ASPA 116—New College Valley, Cape
Bird, ASPA 122—Arrival Heights, Ross
Island, and ASPA 158—Hut Point, Ross
Island. These sites are specifically
targeted because of the nature of their
geology, climatic influences and
topography. The applicant plans on
sampling one site as a reference control
area for the study of the temporal and
spatial scales of various types of
disturbances in and around McMurdo
Station. In addition, a reconnaissance
flight from Cape Roberts to Cape
Chocolate to identify an additional
reference control site will be made. The
other sites, Arrival Heights (ASPA 122)
and Hut Point (ASPA 158) have been
sampled in past field seasons and are
slated to be sampled as part of the
ongoing environmental monitoring
program.

I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) issued for public
comment DG–1200, which was
published in the Federal Register, 73 FR
35170, on June 20, 2008. DG–1200 is
proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory
Guide 1.200 in the agency’s Regulatory
Guide Series. This series has been
developed to describe and make
available to the public such information
as methods that are acceptable to the
NRC staff for implementing specific
parts of the NRC’s regulations,
techniques that the staff uses in
evaluating specific problems or
postulated accidents, and data that the
staff needs in its review of applications
for permits and licenses.
II. Further Information
The NRC staff requested receipt of
comments on DG–1200 by August 25,
2008, (including any implementation
schedule) and its associated regulatory
analysis or value/impact statement. By
this action, the NRC staff is extending
the comment period until September 24,
2008. Comments received after
September 24, 2008, would be
considered if practical to do so, but the
NRC is able to ensure consideration
only for comments received on or before
this date. Although a time limit is given,
comments and suggestions in
connection with items for inclusion in
guides currently being developed or
improvements in all published guides
are encouraged at any time.
III. Request To Extend the Comment
Period
BILLING CODE 7555–01–P
Basis for the Request
The NRC received the following
extension request:
NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
‘‘There is currently work underway by the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) to address many fundamental issues
with the Joint ASME/American Nuclear
Society (ANS) PRA [probabilistic risk
assessment] Standard, many of which are
items likely identified in the current RG
revision. These changes are identified as
Addendum A to the ASME/ANS Joint PRA
Standard.’’ ‘‘ASME is currently balloting
these changes for approval, with a closure of
the ballot in late August 2008. Once balloted
and approved, these changes to the Joint
Standard will be made available to the
general public. Availability of such
information will be important for the public
to make an informed review of the draft RG
1.200, Revision 2. As a result of this schedule
mismatch, the PWROG [pressurized water
reactor owners’ group] requests that the
review period for the draft RG 1.200,
Revision 2 be extended to allow the industry
to integrate the findings and conclusions of
the ASME/ANS Joint PRA Standard revisions
in preparing an informed review. The
Draft Regulatory Guide: Granting
Extension of Comment Period
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
AGENCY:
Notice of Granting of Request To
Extend the Comment Period of Draft
Regulatory Guide (DG)–1200, ‘‘An
Approach for Determining the Technical
Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk
Assessment Results for Risk-Informed
Activities.’’
