NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a
draft of a guide for 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 is temporarily identified by its Task Number, DG-
0008 (which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this
draft guide). DG-0008, ``Applications for the Use of Sealed Sources in
Portable Gauging Devices,'' is being developed to provide guidance to
applicants and licensees in preparing applications for new licenses,
license amendments, and license renewals for the use of sealed sources
in portable gauging devices.
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 this 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 31, 1995.
Comments may be submitted electronically, in either ASCII text or
Wordperfect format (version 5.1 or later), by calling the NRC
Electronic Bulletin Board on FedWorld. The bulletin board may be
accessed using a personal computer, a modem, and one of the commonly
available communications software packages, or directly via Internet.
If using a personal computer and modem, the NRC subsystem on
FedWorld can be accessed directly by dialing the toll free number: 1-
800-303-9672. Communication software parameters should be set as
follows: parity to none, data bits to 8, and stop bits to 1 (N,8,1,).
Using ANSI or VT-100 terminal emulation, the NRC NUREGs and RegGuides
for Comment subsystem can then be accessed by selecting the ``Rules
Menu'' option from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' For further information about
options available for NRC at FedWorld, consult the ``Help/Information
Center'' from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' Users will find the ``FedWorld
Online User's Guides'' particularly helpful. Many NRC subsystems and
databases also have a ``Help /Information Center'' option that is
tailored to the particular subsystem.
The NRC subsystem on FedWorld can also be accessed by a direct dial
phone number for the main FedWorld BBS, 703-321-8020, or by using
Telnet via Internet, fedworld.gov. If using 703-321-8020 to contact
FedWorld, the NRC subsystem will be accessed from the main FedWorld
menu by selecting the ``Regulatory, Government Administration and State
System,'' then selecting ``Regulatory Information Mall.'' At that
point, a menu will be displayed that has an option ``U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission'' that will take you to the NRC Online main menu.
The NRC Online area also can be accessed directly by typing ``/go nrc''
at a FedWorld command line. If you access NRC from FedWorld's main
menu, you may return to FedWorld by selecting the ``Return to FedWorld'
option from the NRC Online Main Menu. However, if you access NRC at
FedWorld by using NRC's toll-free number, you will have full access to
all NRC systems but you will not have access to the main FedWorld
system.
If you contact FedWorld using Telnet, you will see the NRC area and
menus, including the Rules menu. Although you will be able to download
documents and leave messages, you will not be able to write comments or
upload files (comments). If you contact FedWorld using FTP, all files
can be accessed and downloaded but uploads are not allowed; all you
will see is a list of files without descriptions (normal Gopher look).
An index file listing all files within a subdirectory, with
descriptions, is included. There is a 15-minute time limit for FTP
access.
Although FedWorld can be accessed through the World Wide Web, like
FTP that mode only provides access for downloading files and does not
display the NRC Rules menu.
For more information on NRC bulletin boards call Mr. Arthur Davis,
Systems Integration and Development Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, telephone (301) 415-5780; e-mail

Standards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555,

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 maybe 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.
