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-1031 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is a proposed revision to Regulatory Guide 1.160, ``Monitoring 
the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants.'' This guide 
is being revised to provide guidance on meeting the Commission's 
current rules on maintenance and on monitoring the effectiveness of 
maintenance in nuclear poser plants.
    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 August 25, 1994.
    Although a time limit is given for comments on these drafts, 
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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of June 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Joseph A. Murphy,
Acting Director, Division of Safety Issue Resolution, Office of Nuclear
