SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is 
issuing a new guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This 
series was developed to describe and make available to the public 
information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the agency's regulations, techniques 
that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated 
accidents, and data that the

    RG 5.74, ``Managing the Safety/Security Interface,'' was issued 
with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-5021. 
This guide describes a method that the staff of the NRC considers 
acceptable for use in satisfying the requirements of 10 CFR 73.58, 
``Safety/Security Interface Requirements for Nuclear Power Reactors,'' 
of 10 CFR Part 73, ``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials.'' To 
meet these objectives, NRC licensees shall assess and manage changes to 
safety and security activities so as to prevent or mitigate potential 
adverse effects that could negatively impact either plant safety or 
security.

II. Further Information

    In July 2007, DG-5021 was published for public comment. The staff's 
responses to the public comments received are located in the NRC's 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System under Accession 
Number ML091690082. Electronic copies of RG 5.74 are available through 
the NRC's public Web site under ``Regulatory Guides'' at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/.
    In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the 
NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) located at 11555 Rockville Pike,
