SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is withdrawing
Regulatory Guide 8.5, ‘‘Criticality and
Other Interior Evacuation Signals,’’
Revision 1, issued March 1981.
Regulatory Guide 8.5 endorses the
American National Standards Institute/
American Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS)
Standard N2.3–1979 ‘‘Immediate
Evacuation Signal for Use in Industrial
Installations,’’ published September 13,
1979.
In 1986, the ANS Standards
Subcommittee combined ANSI/ANS–
N2.3–1979 with ANSI/ANS–8.3–1986,
‘‘Criticality Accident Alarm System’’ and
withdrew ANSI/ANS–N2.3–1979. In
December 2010 the NRC issued Revision
2 of Regulatory Guide 3.71, ‘‘Nuclear
Criticality Safety Standards for Fuels
and Material Facilities’’ which endorses
multiple ANSI/ANS standards
including ANSI/ANS–8.3–1997,
(Reaffirmed in 2003).
The combining of ANSI/ANS–N2.3
and ANSI/ANS–8.3 by the ANS and the
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
16017
endorsement of ANSI/ANS–8.3 by the
NRC in Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide
3.71 has made Regulatory Guide 8.5
unnecessary. Consequently, the NRC is
withdrawing it and recommends using
the guidance in ANSI/ANS–8.3–1997 as
endorsed with exceptions by Revision 2
of Regulatory Guide 3.71 instead.
II. Further Information
The withdrawal of Regulatory Guide
8.5 does not alter any prior or existing
licensing commitments based on their
use. The guidance provided in this
regulatory guide is no longer necessary.
Regulatory guides may be withdrawn
when their guidance no longer provides
useful information, or is superseded by
technological, congressional actions, or
other events.
Guides are revised for a variety of
reasons, and the withdrawal of a
regulatory guide should be thought of as
the final revision of the guide. Although
a regulatory guide is withdrawn, current
licensees may continue to use it, and
withdrawal does not affect any existing
licenses or agreements. Withdrawal
means that the guide should not be used
for future NRC licensing activities.
Changes to existing licenses can be
accomplished using other regulatory
products.
Regulatory guides and publicly
available NRC documents are available
electronically through the Electronic
Reading Room on the NRC’s public Web
site at: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
doc-collections/. The documents can
also be viewed on-line for free or
printed for a fee in the NRC’s Public
Document Room (PDR) at 11555
Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD; the
mailing address is USNRC PDR,
Washington, DC 20555–0001; telephone:
301–415–4737, or 1–800–397–4209; fax
301–415–3548; or by e-mail to

Regulatory guides are not
copyrighted, and NRC approval is not
required to reproduce them.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day
of February, 2011.
