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 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, entitled, ``Inspection of Water-Control 
Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants,'' is temporarily 
identified by its task number, DG-1245, which should be mentioned in 
all related correspondence. DG-1245 is proposed Revision 2 of 
Regulatory Guide 1.127, dated March 1978.
    This guide describes a basis acceptable to the NRC staff for 
developing an appropriate inservice inspection and surveillance program 
for dams, slopes, canals, and other water-control structures associated 
with emergency cooling water systems or flood protection of nuclear 
power plants.

II. Further Information

    The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG-1245. Comments may be 
accompanied by relevant information or supporting data, and should 
mention DG-1245 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-2011-0011 in the subject line of your 
comments. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be 
posted on the NRC Web site and on the Federal rulemaking Web site 
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

[[Page 2726]]

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.
