[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 193 (Monday, October 6, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 52166] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-26400] [[Page 52166]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a draft of a guide planned for its Regulatory Guide Series. This series has been developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the Commission's regulations, techniques used by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The draft guide, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-1070 (which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft guide), is titled ``Sampling Plans Used for Dedicating Simple Metallic Commercial Grade Items for Use in Nuclear Power Plants.'' The guide is intended for Division 1, ``Power Reactors.'' This draft guide is being developed to describe methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations with regard to quality assurance requirements when using a sampling plan for dedicating simple metallic commercial grade items for unrestricted use in nuclear power plants. The draft guide has not received complete staff review and does not represent an official NRC staff position. Public comments are being solicited on Draft Regulatory Guide DG- 1070. Comments may be accompanied by additional relevant information or supporting data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
