NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 63

[Docket No. PRM-63-1]


State of Nevada; Denial of a Petition for Rulemaking; Correction

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Petition for rulemaking: denial; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 27, 2003 (68 FR 9023), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) published a notice of denial of a petition for 
rulemaking. The petition for rulemaking, dated July 12, 2002, had been 
filed with the Commission by the State of Nevada, and assigned Docket 
No. PRM-63-1. The petitioner had requested that the NRC amend its 
regulations governing the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in a 
proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. This action 
corrects a sentence in the notice of denial by restoring a word that 
was mistakenly omitted from the published document. This action also 
corrects an erroneous citation and a typographical error in the body of 
the notice.
