NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2017-0196]


Regulatory Guides: ``Conduct of Nuclear Material Physical 
Inventories,'' and ``Statistical Evaluation of Material Unaccounted 
For''

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Regulatory guides; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing 
the following regulatory guides (RGs): RG 5.13, ``Conduct of Nuclear 
Material Physical Inventories,'' Revision 0, published in June 1973, 
and RG 5.33, ``Statistical Evaluation of Material Unaccounted For,'' 
Revision 0, published in June 1974. These RGs are being withdrawn 
because the guidance has been incorporated into RG 5.88, ``Physical 
Inventories and Material Balances at Fuel Cycle Facilities.''

DATES: The applicable date of the withdrawal of RGs 5.13, and 5.33 is 
September 29, 2017.

Material Safety and Safeguards, telephone: 301-415-7230, email: 
[email protected]; or Mekonen Bayssie, Office of Nuclear Regulatory 
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 5.13 published on 
December 6, 1973 (38 FR 33629), and 5.33 published on July 9, 1974 (39 
FR 25259) because this guidance has been incorporated into RG 5.88, 
``Physical Inventories and Material Balances at Fuel Cycle 
Facilities,'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML17167A292) and RGs 5.13 and 5.33 
are therefore no longer needed. These two RGs were issued by the NRC 
staff in the 1970s to provide guidance that was considered acceptable 
for complying with the NRC's regulations related to the performance, 
evaluation, and reporting of physical inventories and material balances 
at fuel cycle facilities. Regulatory Guide 5.88 is being issued to 
update the guidance that is being withdrawn.

I. Further Information

    The withdrawal of RGs 5.13 and 5.33 does not alter any prior or 
existing NRC licensing approval or the acceptability of licensee 
commitments made regarding the withdrawn guidance. Although RGs 5.13 
and 5.33 are withdrawn, current licensees referencing these RGs may 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 5.13 and 5.33, the NRC no 
longer approves reliance upon such guidance in future requests or 
applications for NRC licensing actions.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, on September 20, 2017.
