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 1 of Regulatory Guide 5.15, ``Tamper-Indicating Seals for 
the Protection and Control of Special Nuclear Material,'' describes 
features of systems and types of security seals that are acceptable to 
the NRC staff for tamper-safing containers of special nuclear material. 
A tamper-indicating seal is a device used to detect unauthorized 
removal of material.
    The NRC has verified with the Office of Management and Budget the 
determination that this regulatory guide is not a major rule.
    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 Rules Review and Directives 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 at the Commission's 
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC. Single copies 
of regulatory guides may be obtained free of charge by writing the 
Office of Administration, Attention: Distribution and Services Section,
