ACTION: Design-Specific Review Standard (DSRS) for the mPowerTM Design; re-opening of comment period. AGENCY: On May 14, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a request for public comment on the DSRS for the mPowerTM design (mPowerTM DSRS). The purpose of the mPowerTM DSRS is to more fully integrate the use of risk insights into the review of a design certification (DC), an early site permit (ESP) or a combined license (COL) that incorporates the mPowerTM design. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on August 16, 2013. Generation mPower submitted a letter on August 8, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13224A163), requesting an extension of the public comment period until September 16, 2012, on specific sections of the mPowerTM DSRS. The NRC has decided to re-open the public comment period on those specific sections of the mPowerTM DSRS to allow more time for members of the public to assemble their comments on those sections. DATES: The comment period has been re-opened and now closes on September 16, 2013. 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.
