The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2003 (68 FR 56343).

comment a draft 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.
    The draft Revision 4 of Regulatory Guide 1.97, entitled ``Criteria

    This proposed revision of Regulatory Guide 1.97 represents an

refer to any nuclear power plant for which the licensee obtained an 
operating license after the NRC issued Revision 4 of Regulatory

plant'' refer to any nuclear plant for which the licensee obtained 
an operating license before the NRC issued Revision 4 of Regulatory 
Guide 1.97.
