``Regulatory Guide'' series. This series was developed to describe 
methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific 
parts of the agency's regulations, to explain techniques that the staff

Aging Effects on Electrical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Generating 
Stations,'' is a proposed new Regulatory Guide 1.248 and is being 
issued with a temporary identification of Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-
1393.
    Nuclear power plants (NPPs) licensed under Parts 50 and 52 of title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), are required to monitor 
the performance or condition of Structures, Systems and Components 
(SSCs) against licensee-established goals, in a manner sufficient to

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality

    Issuance of DG-1393, if finalized, would not constitute backfitting 
as that term is defined in 10 CFR 50.109, ``Backfitting,'' and as 
described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ``Management of 
Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 
Requests''; would not constitute forward fitting as that term is 
defined and described in MD 8.4; and would not affect issue finality of 
any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, ``Licenses, Certificates, and 
Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.'' As explained in DG-1393, 
applicants and licensees are not required to comply with the positions 
set forth in DG-1393.
