NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
proposed revision to a guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. Regulatory 
Guides are 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.
    This draft guide, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-
3022 (which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this 
draft guide), is Proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 3.69, 
``Topical Guidelines for the Licensing Support Network.'' This draft 
guide is being developed to provide guidance acceptable to the NRC 
staff on the scope of documentary material that should be included in 
the Licensing Support Network, which is an electronic information 
system that is being designed and implemented to provide for the entry 
of and access to potentially relevant licensing information for a 
geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste.
    This 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 
the NRC Public Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. 
Comments will be most helpful if received by September 30, 2002.
    Comments received after this date will be considered if it is 
practical to do so, but the NRC is able to assure consideration only 
for comments received on or before this date.
    You may also provide comments via the NRC's interactive rulemaking 
web site through the NRC home page at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/reg-guides/fuels-materials/draft-index.html. This site
