This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses.

The draft regulatory guide is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-5019, which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. The DG-5019 is proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 5.62, dated November 1987. The current issuance of DG-5019 differs substantially from the proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 5.62 that was issued as DG-5019 and published in the **Federal Register** on July 6, 2007 (72 FR 37058). The DG-5019 describes methods that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for licensees and certificate holders to report and record safeguards (i.e., security) events that are required under the proposed changes to 10 CFR 73.71 and Appendix G to 10 CFR part 73.

See the proposed rule (Docket ID: NRC-2011-0018) published elsewhere in today's **Federal Register** . This guide applies to a range of facilities and activities licensed or certified by the NRC. These facilities and activities include reactor facilities; special nuclear material

(SNM)production, use, and storage facilities; spent nuclear fuel

(SNF)and high-level radioactive waste

(HLW)storage and disposal facilities; and the transportation of SNM, SNF, and HLW to or from such facilities. The NRC is issuing DG-5019 for comment in conjunction with DG-5020, “Applying for Enhanced Weapons Authority, Applying for Preemption Authority, and Accomplishing Firearms Background Checks under 10 CFR Part 73,” and the associated proposed rule. See the DG-5020 (Docket ID: NRC-2011-0015) proposed elsewhere in today's **Federal Register** . Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and Commission approval is not required to reproduce them. Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 12th day of January 2011. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thomas H. Boyce, Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. [FR Doc. 2011-1778 Filed 2-2-11; 8:45 am]
