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 1.54, ``Service Level I, II, and III 
Protective Coatings Applied to Nuclear Power Plants,'' provides 
guidance on practices and programs that are acceptable to the NRC staff 
for the selection, application, qualification, inspection, and 
maintenance of protective coatings applied in nuclear power plants. 
This guide endorses multiple standards of the American Society for 
Testing and Materials to provide this guidance.
    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. For further information on the guide, contact 
A.W. Serkiz at (301) 415-6563 or by email at [email protected]>.
