SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Regulatory Guide 6.6 was published in June 1974 to provide guidance 
on meeting the requirements in Sec.  32.110 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The RG 6.6 describes a prescriptive 
methodology for determining whether a product should be accepted or 
rejected based on statistical sampling methods. The NRC is withdrawing 
RG 6.6 because in 2012, the regulations in part 32 of 10 CFR were 
amended to remove Sec.  32.110 of 10 CFR (77 FR 43673; July 25, 2012). 
The amendment occurred because the Commission determined that the 
requirements for manufacturers or initial distributors of exempt and 
generally licensed products were in some cases overly prescriptive, 
particularly in the areas of prototype testing and acceptance sampling/
quality control procedures. The new rule was intended to focus the 
regulations on performance rather than procedures. Therefore, the 
guidance contained in RG 6.6 became obsolete and RG 6.6 needs to be 
withdrawn.

II. General Considerations

    The NRC is withdrawing RG 6.6 because it is no longer needed. 
Withdrawal of an RG means that the guide no longer provides useful 
information or has been superseded by other guidance, technological 
innovations, Congressional actions, or other events. The withdrawal of 
RG 6.6 does not alter any prior or existing NRC licensing approval or 
the acceptability of licensee commitments to RG 6.6. Although RG 6.6 is 
withdrawn, current licensees may continue to use it, and withdrawal 
does not affect any existing licenses or agreements. However, RG. 6.6 
should not be used in future requests or applications for NRC licensing 
actions.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of May, 2018.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Regulatory Guidance and Generic Issues Branch, Division of
