I. Introduction
Regulatory guides may be withdrawn
by the NRC when their guidance no
longer provides useful information, or is
superseded by technological
innovations, congressional actions, or
other events. The NRC is withdrawing
RG 1.167 because its guidance has been
incorporated into RG 1.166, ‘‘Pre-
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:22 Feb 20, 2020
Jkt 250001
Earthquake Planning, Shutdown, and
Restart of a Nuclear Power Plant
Following an Earthquake’’ (ADAMS
Accession No. ML19266A616).
II. Further Information
The withdrawal of RG 1.167 does not
alter any prior or existing NRC licensing
approval or the acceptability of licensee
commitments to this RG. Although RG
1.167 is withdrawn, current licensees
may continue to use it, and withdrawal
does not affect any existing licenses or
agreements. However, by withdrawing
RG 1.167, the NRC no longer approves
the guidance in this RG for use in future
requests or applications for NRC
licensing actions.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day
of February 2020.
