The public comment period and the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) meeting, which will be scheduled at a later date and announced in the Federal Register, are separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested parties to comment on the document. EPA intends to forward the public comments that are submitted in accordance with this notice to the SAB peer-review panel prior to the meeting for their consideration. When finalizing the draft document, EPA intends to consider any public comments that EPA receives in accordance with this notice.

On November 6, 2009, (74 FR 57525) (ML093030375), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published for public comment a draft policy statement on safety culture to include the unique aspects of nuclear safety and security, and to note the Commission's expectations that all NRC licensees and certificate holders establish and maintain a positive safety culture that protects public health and safety and the common defense and security when carrying out licensed activities. The comment period was scheduled to expire on February 4, 2010, which coincides with the final day of the first of three public workshops the NRC is conducting to solicit input relating to the development of the safety culture policy statement, including: (1) development of a common safety culture definition; and (2) development of high-level description/traits of areas important to safety culture. Based on comments from licensees that these workshops may stimulate additional comments on the final draft policy statement, the NRC has decided to extend the comment period on the draft policy statement from February 4, 2010, to March 1, 2010.
