NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
proposed revision of 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 NRC'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-3014 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is a proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 3.66, ``Standard 
Format and Content of Financial Assurance Mechanisms Required for 
Decommissioning Under 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 70, and 72.'' This proposed 
revision is being developed to update the NRC's guidance on how to 
demonstrate financial assurance for decommissioning. The guide also 
establishes a standard format for presenting the information to the 
NRC.
    The draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does 
not represent an official NRC staff position.
    Comments may be accompanied by 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

Comments will be most helpful if received by September 30, 1999.
