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

developing Quality Assurance Programs with respect to the transport of 
radioactive materials in Type B and fissile material packages.
