§ 51.73 Request for comments on draft environmental impact statement.
§ 51.73 Request for comments on draft environmental impact statement.
Each draft environmental impact statement and each supplement to a draft
environmental impact statement distributed in accordance with § 51.74,
and each news release provided pursuant to § 51.74(d) will be accompanied
by or include a request for comments on the proposed action and on the
draft environmental impact statement or any supplement to the draft environmental
impact statement and will state where comments should be submitted and
the date on which the comment period closes. A minimum comment period
of 45 days will be provided. The comment period will be calculated from
the date on which the Environmental Protection Agency notice stating that
the draft statement or the supplement to the draft statement has been
filed with EPA is published in the Federal Register. If no comments are
provided within the time specified, it will be presumed, unless the agency
or person requests an extension of time, that the agency or person has
no comment to make. To the extent practicable, NRC staff will grant reasonable
requests for extensions of time of up to fifteen (15) days.
