On April 08, 2019 (84 FR 13969), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a notice in the federal register about issuing for public comment draft regulatory guide (DG), DG-7010, “Leakage Tests on Packages for Shipment of Radioactive Material.” This proposed revision, Revision 2 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 7.4, endorses the methods and procedures developed by the Standards Committee on Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive and Nonnuclear Hazardous Materials (N14), Subcommittee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in ANSI N14.5-2014, “American National Standard for Radioactive Materials - Leakage Tests on Packages for Shipment.” Submit comments by June 7, 2019. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. Although a time limit is given, comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in guides currently being developed or improvements in all published guides are encouraged at any time.
