SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is issuing a revision to an
existing guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory
Guide’’ series. This series was
developed to describe and make
available to the public information such
as methods that are acceptable to the
NRC staff for implementing specific
parts of the agency’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 RG 4.11 was issued with
a temporary identification as Draft
Regulatory Guide, DG–4016. This guide
focuses on terrestrial analyses for
licensing new nuclear power stations
under Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, ‘‘Licenses,
Certifications, and Approvals for
Nuclear Power Plants’’ and power
reactors under 10 CFR Part 50,
‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and
Utilization Facilities’’ and this guide is
also useful in identifying the more
limited studies and analyses needed for
nuclear reactor operating license
renewal under 10 CFR part 54,
‘‘Requirements for Renewal of Operating
Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and
portions may also be relevant to nuclear
reactor decommissioning.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Peace
Corps Act states that ‘‘[t]he President
may enroll in the Peace Corps for
service abroad qualified citizens and
nationals of the United States (referred
to in this Act as ‘‘volunteers’’). The
terms and conditions of the enrollment
* * * of volunteers shall be exclusively
those set forth in this Act and those
consistent therewith which the
President may prescribe * * *’’ 22
U.S.C. 2504(a). Eligibility requirements
for the Peace Corps have been
prescribed in 22 CFR part 305. Among
those eligibility requirements is one
relating to medical status. An Applicant
‘‘must, with reasonable accommodation,
have the physical and mental capacity
required of a Volunteer to perform the
essential functions of the Peace Corps
Volunteer assignment for which he or
she is otherwise eligible and be able to
complete an agreed upon tour of service,
ordinarily two years, without undue

disruption due to health problems.’’ 22
CFR 305.2(c). All applicants for service
must undergo a physical examination
and a dental evaluation prior to
Volunteer service to determine if they
meet this medical status eligibility
requirement. In addition, under 22
U.S.C. 2504(e), the Peace Corps provides
medical care to Volunteers during their
service and the information collected
will also be used in connection with
medical care and treatment during
Peace Corps service for applicants who
become Volunteers. Finally, the
information collected may serve as a
point of reference for any potential
future Volunteer worker’s compensation
claims.
Volunteers serve in 67 developing
countries where western-style
healthcare is often not available.
Volunteers are placed in remote
locations where they may suffer
hardship because they have no access to
running water and/or electricity. They
also may be placed in locations with
extreme environmental conditions
related to cold, heat or high altitude and
they may be exposed to diseases not
generally found in the U.S. Volunteers
may be placed many hours from the
Peace Corps medical office and not have
easy access to any health care provider.
Therefore, a thorough review of an
Applicant’s past medical history is an
