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-8016
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft
guide), is a proposed Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 8.37,
``Constraints for Air Effluents for Licensees Other Than Power
Reactors.'' This guide is being revised to provide guidance on
demonstrating compliance with proposed constraints for air effluents.
These constraints were delineated in amendments that were proposed for
10 CFR Part 20, ``Standards for Protection Against Radiation,'' on
December 13, 1995 (60 FR 63984).
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 12, 1996.
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.
Background documents on the rulemaking are also available for
downloading and viewing on the bulletin board.
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; Telnet via
Internet: fedworld.gov (192.239.93.3); File Transfer Protocol (FTP) via
Internet: ftp.fedworld.gov (192.239.92.205); and World Wide Web using:
http://www.fedworld.gov (this is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)).
If using a method other than the toll free number to contact
FedWorld, the NRC subsystem will be accessed from the main FedWorld
menu by selecting the ``F--Regulatory, Government Administration and
State Systems,'' then selecting ``A--Regulatory Information Mall.'' At
that point, a menu will be displayed that has an option ``A--U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission'' that will take you to the NRC Online
main menu. You can also go directly to the NRC Online area by typing
``/go nrc'' at a FedWorld command line. If you access NRC from
[[Page 1648]]
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. 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 AXD[email protected]. For more information on this Draft
Regulatory Guide DG-8016, contact Ms. Charleen Raddatz, telephone (301)
415-6215; e-mail [email protected].
Although a time limit is given for comments on this draft, 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
