UNITED STATES OA •NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION a WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20665 June 23, 1977 REGULATORY GUIDE DISTRIBUTION LIST 'DIVISION 1) Regulatory Guide 1.119, "Surveillance Program for New Fuel Assembly Designs," issued for comment in June 1976, is being withdrawn. In order to broaden the scope and data base to include existing fuels, the staff now believes that fuel surveillance programs should be plant specific and handled on a case-by-case basis rather than in a detailed generic manner. Therefore, the staff's need for data from fuel sur- veillance programs for both existing and new fuel designs will be included in the planned update of Regulatory Guide 1.70, "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," and reflected in the planned revision to NUREG-75/087, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants." Regulatory guides may be withdrawn when they are superseded by the Commission's regulations, when equivalent recommendations have been incorporated in applicable and approved codes and standards, or when changing methods and techniques have made them obsolete.
