CFR Title: 

Content:
requires that an application for a combined license contain the location and description of any nearby industrial, military, or transportation facilities and routes. o 10 CFR 52.79 (a)(4)(i), requires that an application for a combined license address the GDC in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50. The guidance in this RG is intended to assist the licensee or applicant by describing methods that the NRC finds acceptable for meeting the requirements of GDC 4. Related Guidance • RG 1.189 “Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 4), describes comprehensive guidance on fire protection program for licensees and applicants that is acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting the fire protection regulations in 10 CFR 50.48 and addresses the potential for fires and explosions both onsite and from nearby fixed facilities. Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues Regulatory Guides (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. RGs 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 supported by a basis for the issuance or continuance of a permit or license by the Commission. Paperwork Reduction Act This RG provides voluntary guidance for implementing the mandatory information collections in 10 CFR Parts 50, 52 and 100 that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under control numbers 3150-0011, 3150-0151 and 3150-0093, respectively.
