        <Paragraph>NRC issues regulatory guides in draft form to solicit public comment and involve the public in developing the agency’s regulatory positions. Some draft guides are proposed revisions of existing guides. Draft regulatory guides have not received complete staff review and, therefore, they do not represent official Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff positions. In finalizing the guides, the staff considers all comments received during the public comment period. These drafts may be downloaded from the online library using the link below. The public may comment on draft guides and other documents issued in draft form online at http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/doc-comment.html.</Paragraph>
