SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission currently has three separate 
documents providing guidance to the public on how to submit documents 
electronically to the agency. The NRC has consolidated these documents 
into one guidance document and is issuing it for public comment. This 
guidance contains a new chapter providing guidance for Combined License 
Application (COLA) submittals. Its provisions pertaining to electronic 
filings in adjudications (other than the high level waste repository 
licensing proceeding and the Vogtle early site permit proceeding) are 
not to be used until the Commission issues its final rule on the 
subject.

DATES: The NRC expects to update the guidance found in this document as 
changes in technology warrant. Comments from the public are welcome at 
any time and the NRC will make changes to this document as appropriate.
