NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a new guide in 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.
Regulatory Guide 10.12, ``Preparation of Petitions for Rulemaking
Under 10 CFR 2.802 and Preparation and Submission of Proposals for
Regulatory Guidance Documents,'' provides guidance to persons who
submit petitions for rulemaking to the NRC concerning the type and
quantity of information that would allow the NRC to process the
petition in an expeditious manner. This guide also provides the
procedures for submitting proposals to change existing regulatory
guidance documents.
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. Written comments may be submitted to
the Publications Branch, Division of Freedom of Information and
