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.
