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 3 of Regulatory Guide 5.44, ``Perimeter Intrusion Alarm 
Systems,'' has been developed to provide guidance to licensees and 
applicants on selecting perimeter intrusion-detection alarm systems and 
their applications at nuclear power reactors, independent spent fuel 
storage installations, and certain special nuclear material processing 
facilities.
    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 and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative 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: Printing, Graphics and 
Distribution Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC

purchased from the National Technical Information Service on a standing 
order basis. Details on this service may be obtained by writing NTIS, 
5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Regulatory guides are not 
copyrighted, and Commission approval is not required to reproduce them.
