# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Introduction

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued for public comment a draft guide in the agency's “Regulatory Guide” series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC'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.

The draft regulatory guide, entitled, “Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants,” is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-1245, which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. DG-1245 is proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.127, dated March 1978.

This guide describes a basis acceptable to the NRC staff for developing an appropriate inservice inspection and surveillance program for dams, slopes, canals, and other water-control structures associated with emergency cooling water systems or flood protection of nuclear power plants.

## II. Further Information

The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG-1245. Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting data, and should mention DG-1245 in the subject line. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made available to the public in their entirety through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
