Comment on FR Doc # 2026-08550, NRC-2025-0379-0011, from Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection

Summary: The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) requests that the NRC extend the public comment period for the proposed rule on microreactor licensing from 45 to 90 days. They argue that the complexity of the proposed framework requires more time for states, technical experts, and local governments to conduct a thorough and transparent review.
