nce: Emergency Planning Exemption Request for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors,” issued May 11, 2015 (Ref. 11). • RG 1.219, “Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans for Nuclear Power Reactors,” issued July 2018 (Ref. 12). • The preamble to the “Frequency of Reviews and Audits for Emergency Preparedness Programs, Safeguards Contingency Plans, and Security Programs for Nuclear Power Reactors,” final rule (Ref. 13), suggests performance indicators. Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues RGs to describe methods that are acceptable to the staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe information that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Regulatory guides are not NRC regulations and compliance with them is not required. Methods and solutions that differ from those set forth in RGs are acceptable if the applicant provides sufficient basis and information for the NRC staff to verify that the alternative methods comply with the applicable NRC regulations.

These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under control numbers 3150-0011, 3150-0151, and 3150-0195, respectively.
