NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guides; Withdrawal

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is withdrawing Draft Regulatory 
Guide DG-4006, ``Demonstrating Compliance with the Radiological 
Criteria for License Termination,'' from consideration as a regulatory 
guide. DG-4006 was published for public comment in August 1998.
    This draft guide was issued to propose guidance on demonstrating 
compliance with radiological criteria at the sites of licensees who 
wish to terminate their licenses and release their sites. Appendix D of 
NUREG-1727,

[[Page 46542]]

``NMSS Decommissioning Standard Review Plan,'' published in September 
2000, incorporates the guidance that was proposed in DG-4006.
    Regulatory guides may be withdrawn when they are superseded by the 
Commission's regulations, when equivalent recommendations have been 
incorporated in applicable approved codes and standards, or when 
changes in methods and techniques or in the need for specific guidance 
have made them obsolete.
    Comments and suggestions are encouraged at any time in connection 
with guides currently being developed or published guides. 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. (5 U.S.C. 552(a))

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 3rd day of July 2002.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Farouk Eltawila,
Director, Division of Systems Analysis and Regulatory Effectiveness, 
Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
