SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of withdrawal.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
36017
The NRC is withdrawing RG 7.3
because its guidance has been
superseded and is no longer needed.
The guide was published in May 1975
to provide guidance on meeting the
requirements in Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.205,
‘‘Procedures for Picking Up, Receiving,
and Opening Packages.’’ Regulatory
Guide 7.3 provided guidance to
licensees on making arrangements for
receipt, pickup, and monitoring of
packages containing radioactive
material; and reporting when received
packages showed evidence of leakage or
excessive radiation levels. The NRC is
withdrawing this regulatory guide
because the information it contained has
been combined into Revision 1 of RG
7.7, ‘‘Administrative Guide for Verifying
Compliance with Packaging
Requirements for Shipment and Receipt
of Radioactive Material.’’ Revision 1 of
RG 7.7 was finalized in March 2012 and
announced in the Federal Register (77
FR 18871; March 28, 2012).
Regulatory Guide 7.3 was issued as
part of an immediately effective rule
making by the Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC) in 1974. The rule
making was issued in response to two
incidents that resulted in excessive
contamination and radiation exposures
from improperly packaged radioactive
material. Since these requirements were
new to the transportation community,
the AEC developed RG 7.3 to provide
licensees with guidance and describe a
method for meeting the new
requirements that the NRC staff found
acceptable. In the 37 years since RG 7.3
was issued, the transportation
community has gained extensive
experience on transporting, receiving
and opening packages containing
radioactive material. The regulations
have been updated several times, but RG
has not been kept current.

II. Further Information
The withdrawal of RG 7.3 does not
alter any prior or existing licensing
commitments based on its use. The
guidance provided in this RG is no
longer necessary. Regulatory guides may
be withdrawn when their guidance no
longer provides useful information, or is
superseded by technological
innovations, congressional actions, or
other events.
Regulatory guides are revised for a
variety of reasons and the withdrawal of
an RG should be thought of as the final
revision of the guide. Although an RG
is withdrawn, current licensees may
continue to use it, and withdrawal does
not affect any existing licenses or
agreements. Withdrawal of a guide
means that the guide should not be used
for future NRC licensing activities.
However, although a regulatory guide is
withdrawn, changes to existing licenses
can be accomplished using other
regulatory products.
Regulatory guides and publicly
available NRC documents are available
on line in the NRC Library at: https://
www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. The documents can also be
viewed online for free or printed for a
fee in the NRC’s PDR at 11555 Rockville
Pike, Rockville, MD; the mailing address

and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.)
sets forth rules governing the limited
offer and sale of securities without
Securities Act registration. Those
relying on Regulation D must file Form
D. The purpose of the Form D (17 CFR
239.500) is to collect empirical data,
which provides a continuing basis for
action by the Commission either in
terms of amending existing rules and
regulations or proposing new ones. In
addition, the form allows the
Commission to elicit information
necessary to assess the effectiveness of
Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.)
and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of
1933 (U.S.C. 77d(6)) as capital-raising
devices. Form D information is required
to obtain or retain benefits under
Regulation D. Approximately 25,000
issuers file Form D and it takes
approximately 4 hours per response. We
estimate that 25% of the 4 hours per
response (1 hour per response) is
prepared by the issuer for an annual
reporting burden of 25,000 hours (1
hour per response × 25,000 responses).
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to PRA that does not display a
valid Office of Management and Budget

Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa

Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) is
used by registrants to notify the
Commission that an electronic filer is
relying on the temporary hardship
exemption for the filing of a document
in paper form that would otherwise be
required to be filed electronically as
prescribed by Rule 201(a) of Regulation
S–T. (17 CFR 232.201(a)). Form TH is a
public document and is filed on
occasion. Form TH must be filed every
time an electronic filer experiences
unanticipated technical difficulties
preventing the timely preparation and
submission of a required electronic
filing. Approximately 70 registrants file
Form TH and it takes an estimated 0.33
hours per response for a total annual
burden of 23 hours.
The Commission may not conduct or
