NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a new 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.
    Regulatory Guide 3.72, ``Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 
72.48, Changes, Tests, and Experiments,'' has been developed to provide 
guidance to licensees and holders of Certificates of Compliance on 
their evaluation of changes proposed to facilities or cask designs 
licensed under 10 CFR Part 72, ``Licensing Requirements for the 
Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive 
Waste.''

guides currently being developed or improvements in all published 
guides are encouraged at any time. Written comments may be submitted to
