0007, Revision 8, ``Instructions for the Preparation and Distribution 
of Material Status Reports.'' These NUREG brochures provide guidance 
for licensees submitting material transaction reports and material 
status reports to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards 
System (NMMSS). Revisions to these NUREGs do not change existing 
reporting requirements; however, clarifications and additional examples 
of data to be reported have been included in these revised drafts.

DATES: Submit comments by November 13, 2019. Comments received after 
this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the 
Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received 
before this date.
