II. Discussion
On February 21, 2023, the NRC published a document in the Federal
Register (88 FR 10481) soliciting comments on DG-5065, ``Perimeter
Intrusion Alarm Systems'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML22194A912). This DG
provides implementing guidance acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting
requirements in NRC regulations related to the functions of perimeter
intrusion detection sensors and detection methods. The DG provides
guidance on sensors and methods that can be integrated to form an
effective perimeter intrusion detection system. In addition, the DG
provides guidance on selecting perimeter intrusion detection systems
and on applications for nuclear power reactors, independent spent fuel
storage installations, and certain special nuclear material processing
facilities. The comment period was originally scheduled to close on
March 23, 2023. Upon the request of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the
NRC has decided to extend the public comment period on this document
until May 22, 2023, to allow more time for members of the public to
submit their comments.
As noted in the Federal Register on December 9, 2022 (87 FR 75671),
this document is being published in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of
the Federal Register to comply with publication requirements under
chapter 1 of title I of the Code of Federal Regulations.
