The staff updated interim Revision 2 of NMSS Policy and Procedure 6-10, NMSS Procedures for Preparation and Review of Rulemaking Packages, to reference the draft Revision 5 of NUREG/BR-0058 that was released in April 2017. If the Commission approves the staffs recommendations in SECY-18-0042, the staff will issue the final NUREG and revise its procedures to reference the updated guidance.
