NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
draft of a guide planned for its Regulatory Guide

[[Page 41605]]

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-4006 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is titled ``Demonstrating Compliance with the Radiological 
Criteria for License Termination.'' The guide is intended for Division 
4, ``Environmental and Siting.'' This draft guide is being developed to 
provide guidance on how to demonstrate compliance with the radiological 
criteria at the sites of licensees who wish to terminate their licenses 
and release their sites.
    The draft guide has not received complete staff review and does not 
represent an official NRC staff position. However, the Commission has 
authorized the interim use of this guide for the next two years. The 
final version of the guide will then incorporate experience and public 
comments.
    Public comments are being solicited on Draft Regulatory Guide DG-
4006. Comments may be accompanied by additional relevant information or 
supporting data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and 
Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Copies of comments received may be 
examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., 
Washington, DC. Comments will be most helpful if received by August 31, 
1999.
    You may also provide comments via the NRC's interactive rulemaking 
website through the NRC home page (http://www.nrc.gov). This site 
provides the availability to upload comments as files (any format), if 
your web browser supports that function. For information about the 
interactive rulemaking website, contact Ms. Carol Gallagher, (301) 415-
5905; e-mail [email protected].
    Although a time limit is given for comments on this draft guide, 
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 or final guides (which may be reproduced) or for 
placement on an automatic distribution list for single copies of future
