    NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
    
    Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
    
        The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
    draft of a guide planned for its Regulatory Guide Series. This series 
    has been developed to describe and make available to the public such 
    information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing 
    specific parts of the Commission's regulations, techniques used by the 
    staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data 
    needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits and 
    licenses.
        The draft guide is a proposed Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.153, 
    and it is temporarily identified as DG-1042, ``Criteria for Safety 
    Systems.'' The guide will be in Division 1, ``Power Reactors.'' This 
    regulatory guide is being revised to provide current guidance on 
    methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Commission's 
    regulations with respect to the design, reliability, qualification, and 
    testability of the power, instrumentation, and control portions of 
    safety systems of nuclear power plants.
        The draft guide has not received complete staff review and does not 
    represent an official NRC staff position.
        Public comments are being solicited on the guide. Comments should 
    be accompanied by supporting data. Written comments may be submitted to 
    the Rules Review and Directives Branch, Division of Freedom of 
    Information and Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S. 
    Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Copies of comments 
    received may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street 
    NW., Washington, DC. Comments will be most helpful if received by 
    January 12, 1996.
        Although a time limit is given for comments on this draft guide, 
    comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in 
    guides currently being developed or improvements in all published 
    guides are encouraged at any time.
        Comments may be submitted electronically, in either ASCII text or 
    Wordperfect format (version 5.1 or later), by calling the NRC 
    Electronic Bulletin Board on FedWorld. The bulletin board may be 
    accessed using a personal computer, a modem, and one of the commonly 
    available communications software packages, or directly via Internet.
        If using a personal computer and modem, the NRC subsystem on 
    FedWorld can be accessed directly by dialing the toll free number: 1-
    800-303-9672. Communication software parameters should be set as 
    follows: Parity to none, data bits to 8, and stop bits to 1 (N,8,1). 
    Using ANSI or VT-100 terminal emulation, the NRC NUREGs and RegGuides 
    for Comment subsystem can then be accessed by selecting the ``Rules 
    Menu'' option from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' For further information about 
    options available for NRC at FedWorld, consult the ``Help/Information 
    Center'' from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' Users will find the ``FedWorld 
    Online User's Guides'' particularly helpful. Many NRC subsystems and 
    data bases also have a ``Help/Information Center'' option that is 
    tailored to the particular subsystem.
        The NRC subsystem on FedWorld can also be accessed by a direct dial 
    phone number for the main FedWorld BBS, 
    
    [[Page 57462]]
    703-321-3339, or by using Telnet via Internet, fedworld.gov. If using 
    703-321-3339 to contact FedWorld, the NRC subsystem will be accessed 
    from the main FedWorld menu by selecting the ``Regulatory, Government 
    Administration and State Systems,'' then selecting ``Regulatory 
    Information Mall.'' At that point, a menu will be displayed that has an 
    option ``U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission'' that will take you to the 
    NRC Online main menu. The NRC Online area also can be accessed directly 
    by typing ``/go nrc'' at a FedWorld command line. If you access NRC 
    from FedWorld's main menu, you may return to FedWorld by selecting the 
    ``Return to FedWorld'' option from the NRC Online Main Menu. However, 
    if you access NRC at FedWorld by using NRC's toll-free number, you will 
    have full access to all NRC systems but you will not have access to the 
    main FedWorld system.
        If you contact FedWorld using Telnet, you will see the NRC area and 
    menus, including the Rules menu. Although you will be able to download 
    documents and leave messages, you will not be able to write comments or 
    upload files (comments). If you contact FedWorld using FTP, all files 
    can be accessed and downloaded but uploads are not allowed; all you 
    will see is a list of files without descriptions (normal Gopher look). 
    An index file listing all files within a subdirectory, with 
    descriptions, is included. There is a 15-minute time limit for FTP 
    access.
        Although FedWorld can be accessed through the World Wide Web, like 
    FTP that mode only provides access for downloading files and does not 
    display the NRC Rules menu.
        For more information on NRC bulletin boards call Mr. Arthur Davis, 
    Systems Integration and Development Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
    Commission, Washington, DC 20555, telephone (301) 415-5780; e-mail 
    AXD3@nrc.gov. For more information on this draft regulatory guide,
