NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
draft of 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-5004 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is the proposed Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 5.52, ``Standard 
Format and Content of a Licensee Physical Protection Plan for Strategic 
Special Nuclear Material at Fixed Sites (Other than Nuclear Power 
Plants).'' DG-5004 is being revised and developed to describe the 
standard format recommended by the NRC staff for preparing physical 
protection plans for strategic special nuclear material at fixed sites 
other than nuclear power plants, as well as guidance on the content of 
the physical protection plans.
    This draft guide is being issued to involve the public in the early 
stages of the development of a regulatory position in this area. 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 or a rationale. 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 July 15, 1994.
    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 
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: 
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 15th day of April 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Bill M. Morris,
Director, Division of Regulatory Applications, Office of Nuclear
