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
[[Page 41605]]
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-4006
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft
guide), is titled ``Demonstrating Compliance with the Radiological
Criteria for License Termination.'' The guide is intended for Division
4, ``Environmental and Siting.'' This draft guide is being developed to
provide guidance on how to demonstrate compliance with the radiological
criteria at the sites of licensees who wish to terminate their licenses
and release their sites.
The draft guide has not received complete staff review and does not
represent an official NRC staff position. However, the Commission has
authorized the interim use of this guide for the next two years. The
final version of the guide will then incorporate experience and public
comments.
Public comments are being solicited on Draft Regulatory Guide DG-
4006. Comments may be accompanied by additional relevant information or
supporting data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and
Directives Branch, 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 August 31,
1999.
You may also provide comments via the NRC's interactive rulemaking
website through the NRC home page (http://www.nrc.gov). This site
provides the availability to upload comments as files (any format), if
your web browser supports that function. For information about the
interactive rulemaking website, contact Ms. Carol Gallagher, (301) 415-
5905; e-mail [email protected]
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.
Regulatory guides are available for inspection at the Commission's
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC. Requests for
