SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 
comment a draft guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This 
series was 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) is temporarily identified by its 
task number, DG-1228, which should be mentioned in all related 
correspondence. DG-1228 is proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 
1.179, dated January 1999. This guide provides general procedures for 
the preparation of license termination plans for nuclear power 
reactors. Use of this regulatory guide will help to ensure the 
completeness of the information provided in a license termination plan, 
assist the staff of the NRC and others in locating pertinent 
information, and facilitate the review process. However, the NRC does 
not require conformance with the procedures, which are provided for 
guidance only.

II. Further Information

    The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG-1228. Comments may be 
accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should 
mention DG-1228 in the subject line. Comments submitted in writing or 
in electronic form will be made available to the public in their 
entirety through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management 
System (ADAMS).
    ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any one of the following 
methods. Please include Docket ID NRC-2010-0275 in the subject line of 
your comments. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will 
be posted on the NRC website and on the Federal rulemaking website 
Regulations.gov. Because your comments will not be edited to remove any 
identifying or contact information, the NRC cautions you against 
including any information in your submission that you do not want to be 
publicly disclosed.
    The NRC requests that any party soliciting or aggregating comments 
received from other persons for submission to the NRC inform those 
persons that the NRC will not edit their comments to remove any 
identifying or contact information, and therefore, they should not 
include any information in their comments that they do not want 
publicly disclosed.
