Rule; Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Regulation Identifier Number 

3150-AJ13; NRC-2012-0059] 

On March 2, 2016, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (81 FR 10780) 

proposing to amend its regulations to incorporate by reference proposed revisions of three 

regulatory guides (RGs), which would approve new, revised, and reaffirmed Code Cases 

published by ASME. This proposed action would allow nuclear power plant licensees, and 

applicants for construction permits, operating licenses, combined licenses, standard design 

certifications, standard design approvals, and manufacturing licenses, to use the Code Cases 

listed in these draft RGs as alternatives to engineering standards for the construction, inservice 

inspection, and inservice testing of nuclear power plant components. The public comment 

period on the proposed rule and on the proposed revisions of the three RGs closes on May 16, 

2016.
