NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance; Availability Correction
On June 6, 2003, the NRC published a Notice of Availability on
Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1121, ``Guidelines for Categorizing
Structures, Systems, and Components in Nuclear Power Plants According
to their Safety Significance,'' that contained a number of errors. This
Notice of Availability is being reprinted to correct these errors.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued for public
comment a proposed guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. Regulatory
guides are developed to describe and make available to the public such
information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing
specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques used by the staff
in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data
needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits and
licenses.
The draft guide is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-
1121, which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this
draft guide. Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1121, ``Guidelines for
Categorizing Structures, Systems, and Components in Nuclear Power
Plants According to their Safety Significance,'' is being developed to
describe a process that is acceptable to the NRC staff for the
development and assessment of evaluation models that may be used to
comply with the NRC's regulations with respect to the categorization of
structures, systems, and components that are considered in risk-
informing special treatment requirements. This guide conforms to a
proposed amendment to 10 CFR 50.69 that was published in the Federal
Register (68 FR 26511) on May 16, 2003.
This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does
not represent an official NRC staff position.
Comments will be most helpful if received by August 1, 2003. You
may submit comments by any one of the following methods. Please include
the draft guide number (DG-1121) in the subject line of your comments.

rulemaking Web site. Personal information will not be removed from your
