NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Final Regulatory Guide: Issuance, Availability

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a revision 
to an existing guide in the agency's Regulatory Guide Series. This 
series has been developed to describe and make available to the public 
such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the NRC'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 2 of Regulatory Guide 7.9, ``Standard Format and Content 
of Part 71 Applications for Approval of Packages for Radioactive 
Material,'' provides guidance for use in preparing applications for NRC 
approval of packaging to be used in shipping Type B and fissile 
radioactive materials. This guidance describes a method that is 
acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's related 
regulatory requirements in title 10, part 71, of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR part 71), ``Packaging and Transportation of 
Radioactive Material.''
    In December 2003, the NRC staff published a draft of this guide as 
Draft Regulatory Guide DG-7003. Following the closure of the public 
comment period on March 9, 2004, the staff resolved all stakeholder 
comments in the course of preparing Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 7.9.
