AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Regulatory guide; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing 
the following three regulatory guides (RGs): RG 5.28, ``Evaluation of 
Shipper-Receiver Differences in the Transfer of Special Nuclear 
Material;'' RG 5.49, ``Internal Transfers of Special Nuclear 
Material;'' and RG 5.57, ``Shipping and Receiving Control of Strategic 
Special Nuclear Material.'' These RGs are being withdrawn because the 
guidance has been incorporated into RG 5.41, ``Shipping, Receiving, and 
Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear Material.''

DATES: The effective date of the withdrawal of RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 
is May 31, 2017.

Material Safety and Safeguards, telephone: 301-415-7230, email: 
[email protected], and Mekonen Bayssie, Office of Research, 
telephone: 301-415-1699, email: [email protected]. Both are staff 
of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC is withdrawing RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 
5.57 because this guidance has been incorporated into RG 5.41, 
``Shipping, Receiving, and Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear 
Material,'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML16348A213) and RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 
5.57 are therefore no longer needed. These three RGs were issued by the 
NRC staff in the 1970s to 1980s to provide guidance that was considered 
acceptable for complying with the NRC's regulations related to the 
shipment, receipt, and transfer of special nuclear materials. RG 5.41 
is being issued to update the guidance that is being withdrawn. A 
notice issuing RG 5.41 has been published in this issue of the Federal 
Register (see Docket ID NRC-2016-0189).
    The withdrawal of RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 does not alter any prior 
or existing NRC licensing approval or the acceptability of licensee 
commitments made regarding the withdrawn guidance. Although RGs 5.28, 
5.49, and 5.57 are withdrawn, current licensees referencing these RGs 
may continue to do so, and withdrawal does not affect any existing 
licenses or agreements. However, by withdrawing RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 
5.57, the NRC no longer approves reliance upon such guidance in future 
requests or applications for NRC licensing actions.
