SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is 
issuing a revision to an existing 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 staff needs in its 
review of applications for permits and licenses.
    Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.179, ``Standard Format and Content 
of License Termination Plans for Nuclear Power Reactors,'' was issued 
with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-1228. 
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

    In August 2010, DG-1228 was published with a public comment period 
of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period 
closed on October 11, 2010, no comments were received. Electronic 
copies of Regulatory Guide 1.179, Revision 1 are available through the 
NRC's public Web site under ``Regulatory Guides'' at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/ and through the NRC's 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, under Accession No. ML110490419. The 
regulatory analysis may be found in ADAMS under Accession No. 
ML110490425.
    In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the 
NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) located at Room O-1F21, One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852-2738. The 
PDR's mailing address is USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555-0001. The PDR 
can also be reached by telephone at (301) 415-4737 or (800) 397-4209, 
by fax at (301) 415-3548, and by e-mail to [email protected].
    Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 
required to reproduce them.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of June, 2011.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
