NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a
proposed revision to a 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.
The draft guide, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-8014
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft
guide), is a proposed revision to Regulatory Guide 8.13, ``Instruction
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure.'' This guide is being revised
to provide guidance on instructions that must be provided concerning
prenatal radiation exposure. In particular, the instructions described
in this guide are intended to provide the information needed by women
who became pregnant to help them make an informed decision on whether
or not to formally declare their pregnancy in accordance with
regulations.
This draft guide is being issued to involve the public in the early
stages of the development of a regulatory position in this area. It has
not received complete staff review and does not represent an official
NRC staff position.
Public comments are being solicited on the draft 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. Comments will be most helpful if received by March 17 1995.
Although a time limit is given for comments on this draft, comments
and suggestions in connection with (1) items for inclusion in guides
currently being developed or (2) improvements in all published guides
are encouraged at any time.
Regulatory guides are available for inspection at the Commission's
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC. Requests for
single copies of draft guides (which may be reproduced) or for
placement on an automatic distribution list for single copies of future
draft guides in specific divisions should be made in writing to the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention:
Director, Distribution and Mail Services Section. Telephone requests
cannot be accommodated. Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and
Commission approval is not required to reproduce them.
(5 U.S.C. 552(a))
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of October 1994.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Bill M. Morris,
Director, Division of Regulatory Applications, Office of Nuclear
Regulatory Research.
