regulatory basis would support potential
amendments to those regulations in
appendix I of part 50 of Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
which concern how NRC licensees
demonstrate meeting the ‘‘as low as is
reasonably achievable’’ standard with
respect to effluents from nuclear power
plants. The purpose of the potential
amendments would be to more closely
align the 10 CFR part 50, appendix I,
regulations with the terminology and
dose-related methodology published in
ICRP Publication 103 (2007).
The ANPR identified specific
questions and issues with respect to a
possible revision of the NRC’s
regulations at 10 CFR part 50, appendix
I, and associated guidance. Comments
from members of the public and other
stakeholders, including responses to the
specific questions, will be considered by
the NRC staff when it develops the
regulatory basis. The public comment
period was originally scheduled to close
on September 1, 2015. The NRC
received a request (ADAMS Accession
No. ML15217A373) to extend the public
comment period on the ANPR and is
approving a one-time, 30-day extension,
until October 1, 2015, to provide
additional time for members of the
public and other stakeholders to
develop and submit their comments.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day
of August 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Director, Office of New Reactors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) published
a proposed determination that
commercial and industrial fans and
blowers (fans) meet the definition of
covered equipment under the Energy

Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as
amended (76 FR 37628, June 28, 2011).
As part of its further consideration of
this determination, DOE has initiated a
rulemaking to establish energy
conservation standards for commercial
and industrial fans and blowers. To
date, DOE has published a notice of
public meeting and availability of the
framework document to consider such
standards (78 FR 7306 (Feb. 1, 2013)),
and two Availabilities of Provisional
Analysis Tools and Notices of Data
Availability (NODAs) (79 FR 73246
(Dec. 10, 2014), and 80 FR 24841 (May
1, 2015)). The second NODA provided
for the submission of public comments
through Fans and Blowers Working
Group meetings established by the
Appliance Standards Regulatory
Advisory Committee (ASRAC), which
concludes on September 8, 2015.
In addition to issuing these
publications, DOE has participated in
and provided support to the Fans and
Blowers Working Group. In particular,
the second NODA was published to
inform the proceedings of the Working
Group and serve as a starting point for
its work. The proceedings of the
Working Group, including revised
analysis largely supersede the content of
the May 2015 NODA. DOE encouraged
stakeholders to provide any additional
data or information and to submit
comments on the content and analysis
developed during the ASRAC Working
Group process. Supporting material
presented during the Working Group
meetings and transcripts, as well as
supporting documents including
industry publications are available in
the Fans and Blowers rulemaking
docket at: https://www.regulations.gov/
#!docketDetail;D=EERE-2013-BT-STD0006.
Given that the Fans and Blowers
Working Group meetings will conclude
by September 8, 2015, DOE believes that
closing the comment period on
September 8, 2015 will allow sufficient
time for interested parties to submit
comments. Accordingly, DOE will
consider any comments received by
September 8, 2015 to be timely
submitted.
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 19,
2015.
