WASHINGTON, DC - The D.O.E. (DOE) issued a notification in the Federal Register today that it is extending the review period on the Outline Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) by 90 days. The public review period will now end on March 16, 2009.

Due to the extensive interest expressed in the Outline GNEP PEIS, D.O.E. is extending the time period for submission of comments in order to provide adequate time for all interested parties to complete their review and develop input on this important countrywide matter. Comments must now be submitted on or before March 16, 2009.

The Outline GNEP PEIS provides an analysis of the potential environmental impacts of expanding nuclear power in the U.S. using either the existing fuel cycle or various alternative closed and open fuel cycles. DOE's preference is to close the nuclear fuel cycle, although a specific preferred alternative has not yet been selected.

The Outline GNEP PEIS is accessible in 11 public reading rooms across the U. S. (specified in the Federal Register notice), at Regulations.gov, from the Countrywide Environmental Policy Act website, or by calling 1-866-645-7803.
