II. Further Information

    The NRC seeks public comment on the proposed revised section of the 
SRP. This SRP section has been developed to assist NRC staff with the 
physical security review of applications for design certifications, 
incorporate licensing experience from previous design certification 
application reviews, and to inform applicants and other affected 
entities of proposed SRP guidance regarding an acceptable method by 
which to evaluate the affected portions of applications with respect to 
the requirements of Part 73 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR).
    Following NRC staff evaluation of public comments, the NRC intends 
to incorporate the final approved guidance into the next revision of 
NUREG-0800. The SRP is guidance for the NRC staff. The SRP is not a 
substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with the SRP is not 
required.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of September 2013.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
