regulatory guide (DG) DG-1327, ``Pressurized Water Reactor Control Rod 
Ejection and Boiling Water Reactor Control Rod Drop Accidents.'' The 
public comment period was originally scheduled to close on February 21,

such as control rod ejection for pressurized water reactors and control 
rod drop for boiling-water reactors, the NRC has decided to extend the

develop and submit their comments. The NRC has decided to extend the 
public comment period on this document until April 21, 2017, to allow 
more time for members of the public to submit their comments.
