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.

II. Further Information

    DG-4016, was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2011
