NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a 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.
    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.160, ``Monitoring the 
Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants,'' has been issued 
to endorse Revision 2 of NUMARC 93-01, ``Industry Guideline for 
Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants'' 
(April 1996), which has been updated by the Nuclear Energy Institute. 
When used in conjunction, these revisions to Regulatory Guide 1.160 and 
NUMARC 93-01 provide methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying 
with the NRC's maintenance rule, 10 CFR 50.65.
    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. Written comments may be submitted to 
the Publications Branch, Division of Freedom of Information and 
Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
    Regulatory guides are available for inspection or copying for a fee 
at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., 
Washington, DC. Single copies of regulatory guides, both active and 
draft, may be obtained free of charge by writing the Office of
