The original issuance of this regulatory guide en dorsed as acceptable the guidelines (indicated by the verb "should") as well as the requirements included in ANSI standard N45.2.2-1972. Some uncertainty arose with regard to the NRC staff's intent with this endorsement. As a result of this uncertainty, the staff reevaluated the guidelines contained in ANSI N45.2.2-1972 with respect to importance to safety. This guide has been revised to clarify NRC's position on the requirements and guidelines included in ANSI N45.2.2-1972. Where conformance to this regulatory guide is indicated in an application without further qualification, this means conformance with the re quirements of ANSI N45.2.2-1972, as supplemented or modified by the regulatory position of this guide. ANSI N45.2.2-1972 does not include the statement that is contained in other N45.2 series standards per taining to 'its use for activities covered by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Divi sions 1 and 2, and Section XI. The NRC staff's review of the standard indicates that it should be ap plied to these Code-covered activities. C. REGULATORY POSITION 1.
