SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued for public 
comment a draft guide in the agency's Regulatory Guide Series. This 
series has been developed to describe and make available to the public 
such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques that 
the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, 
and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits 
and licenses.
    The draft regulatory guide (DG), entitled, ``Standard Format and 
Content of License Applications for Conventional Uranium Mills,'' is 
temporarily identified by its task number, DG-3024, which should be 
mentioned in all related correspondence. This guide describes a method 
that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in preparing 
license applications for the receipt, possession, and use of source and 
byproduct material for conventional uranium milling. Conventional 
uranium milling is uranium recovery by crushing uranium ore and 
subjecting it to extraction processes in a mill facility to concentrate 
the uranium into a uranium-oxygen compound called yellowcake. This 
regulatory guide describes an approach that is acceptable to the NRC 
staff for complying with the agency's regulations in Title 10, Part 40, 
(Domestic Licensing of Source Material,'' of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR Part 40).
