Introduction L l This handbook specifies the procedures necessary for Nuclear j Regulatory Commission (NRC) contractors and grantees to follow l when preparing the following kinds of publications for the NRC.

i s e Final NUREG Reports 4

> e International Agreement Reports t

e Books 1

! e Grant Publications i .

The handbook is divided into five major parts and includes a glossary and exhibits. Part I provides general information for 7:taff j consideration in the preparation of statements of work. Parts II, III,  !

i IV, and V provide publishing guidelines specific to, respectively,

{

contractor reports, international agreement reports, books, and  !

! grantee publications. ,

1 Contractor means a private contractor, consultant, expert, anc,ther

! State or Federal agency working under an interagency agreement, or a 9

DOE facility or subcontractor, such as the National Laboratories,. i

working under the DOE /NRC Memorandum of Understanding of

. February 24,1978, and any subcontractors of these organizations.

This directive and handbook, as well as a copy of " Publishing-Documents in the NUREG Series" (NU REG-0650, Revision 1), must l

be included or referenced in all contracts, interagency and international agreements, and grants for which the publications listed above are contract deliverables or grant obligations. In addition to the j guidelines specific to each type of publication that appear in

! subsequent parts of this handbook, all statements of work must contain the applicable guidelines outlined in Part I.

Part I Preparing Publication Requirements for Statements of Work for Contracts l Specifying Publication Requirements (A) l l

ljst and describe the type of technical reports required from each j project, task or subtask, as applicable. State when, how many, and to l whom they should be submitted and the scope of information they l should contain. These reports may be unclassified, sensitive unclassified, or classified. For guidelines and requirements covering sensitive unclassified and classified publications, refer to NRC Management Directive 12.2, NRC Information Security Program

(formerly MC 2101).

This directive and handbook pertain to publications that will be issued in the NUREG/CR, NUREG/1A, and NUREG/GR series.

Publishing Formal Reports (s)

NUREG series reports will be printed and distributed by NRC from camera-ready copy submitted by the contractor to the Regulatory Publications Branch, MS P-223, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory l Commission, Washington, DC 20555. The camera-ready copy is to l l

be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this handbook.

Recommended guidelines for the organization and format of formal

. 4

• reports are speci6ed in " Publishing Documents in the NUREG Series" (NUREG-0650, Revision 1).  !

When the report contains sensitive unclassified or classified l information, the contractor must comply with Management Directive 12.2, NRC Information Security Program (formerly MC 2101).  !

[ Handbook 3.8 Part I Publishing Formal Reports (s)(continued)

If a draft is desired prior to completion of a final report, specify in the statement of work (SOW) the due date for delivering the final

' camera-ready copy after receiving NRC or participant comments (if-i applicable) on the draft. State that all draft material be submitted to the cognizant NRC contact.

j When the contractor is to submit draft material for comment prior to the preparation of the final report, state that if there are NRC program o'

or participant comments (if applicable), the contractor will be asked to make changes. If agreement on the changes is reached, the NRC contact will authorize the contractor to prepare the final copy and i

' submit it to the NRC contact,ifit is a letter report or input to a Safety 4

Evaluation Report or an Environmental Statement, or to the Director, l

Division of Freedom of Information and Publications Services (DFIPS),ifit is a camera-ready copy for printing and distribution.This

' is to be done to ensure proper publication, handling, distribution and, amoni; other things, to preclude further changes that might nullify the

l agreement.

If special caveats were agreed to between the contractor and the NRC l

contact, the caveats should accompany Form 426A (Exhibit 1) for

! approval when it is sent to the NRC contact. A copy of special caveats should also accompany the camera-ready copy sent to DFIPS.

i If agreement on changes to a formal technical report to be issued in the l NUREG/CR series is not reached, the NRC contact may request the l contractor to prepare the camera-ready copy with, in addition to the standard disclaimer required on all contractor formal reports (see Section II.F. below). any caveats deemed necessary to cover NRC objections. Such caveats may range from "The views expressed in this report are not necessarily those of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission" to the addition of a preface setting forth the NRC opinion or footnotes at appropriate locations within the text.

If NRC objections cannot be covered in this manner, NRC can refuse to publish the report. In the case of DOE / National Laboratory reports, the DOE Operations Office Manager responsible for that laboratory should be informed by the NRC Office Director or Regional Administrator of the decision and the reasons therefor,with a copy to the Laboratory Director. In the case of another Federal agency, a State, or a private contractor, the person who entered into the contract should similarly be informed by the NRC contracting -

officer. The contractor is then free to publish the report without NRC 3  ;

Publishing Unclassified Information in Open Literature and Presenting Papers (C)

Specify whether the contractor's principal investigator is permitted to publish in the open literature instead of submitting a final report and/or to present papers at public or association meetings during the course of the work. If that arrangement is authorized, add the following statement to the Statement of Work (SOW):

If NRC objections cannot be covered in this manner, NRC may refuse to authorize publication in the open literature and/or presentation of papers.

In the latter case, NRC will inform the contractor of the decision, as stated above. The contractor is then free to publish without NRC being  !

Part II Draft and Final NUREG Reports Identification InformatiOn (A)

NUREG Number (1)

Each contractor report published by NRC mt t be identified by a unique alphanumeric designation controlled and maintained by the Division of Freedom of Information and Publications Services (DFIPS). To obtain an NRC report number, call the Regulatory Publications Branch, DFIPS, at FTS 49-27001 or (301)49-27001.

The NRC identification numbers will have one of the following forms:

. NUREG/CR-0000 e NUREG/GR-0000

• NUREG/IA-0000 where CR indicates contractor report, GR indicates grant report, and IA indicates international agreement report. The contractor report number,if any, will be placed below the NUREG number on the title page and cover.

When a report consists of more than one volume or binding or is issued in more than one edition, an appropriate volume, number, supplement, part, addendum, or revision designation must appear immediately below the NRC report number and the contractor's report number,if any.

Author Names (2)

Authors' names routinely appear on the report cover and title page, I unless doing so is impractical, as for an annual report having many contributors. Editors or compilers with subject-area expertise may also be identified as such on the cover and title page. Author 4 I Approved: April 23,1991 8

Identification Information (A)(continued)

Author Names (2)(continued) affiliations need not be listed unless the af51iation differs from the organization creating the report.

OrganizationalIdentification (3)

The Regulatory Publications Branch, DFIPS, prepares the covers and title pages for all reports and will list information about the organization that created the report as it is provided.

l Previous Reports in Series (4)

If the report beingpreparedic ane in an ongoing series, list all previous reports in the series. Include report numbers and issuance dates. Place this list on the back of the title page.

- Report Dates (5)

! The report dates are shown on the title page. These dates include the month and year the report is completed, and the month and year it is published.

Report Organization and Components (B) i The organization and components of contractor reports vary somewhat, depending on their purpose and scope. Recommended format and organizational guidelines appear in " Publishing Documents in the NUREG Series" (NUREG-0650, Revision 1).

Each draft and final report prepared for NRC must include an abstract of 200 words or less that appears on a separate page preceding the table of contents. The abstract must also appear on the Bibliographic Data Sheet, NRC Form 335 (Exhibit 2A). The back of Form 335 contains instructions for completing the form (Exhibit 2B). G uidelines on the special writing requirements for preparing abstracts appears in Section 5.5 of NUREG-0650, Revision 1.

e Pre-Publication Reviews (C) ,

Patent Review (1)

Patent implications must be considered prior to approval of reports for public release so_ that disclosure will not adversely affect the patent rights of NRC or the contractor. If the work being reported is contractually managed through another Government agency (e.g.,

DOE National Laboratories), that Government agency should be requested by the contractor to perform the patent review. The result of the review must be reported on NRC Form 426A under item 8 (Exhibit 1).

If NRC directly administers the contract, or the contractoris unable to obtain a patent clearance from the Government agency administering the contract, the responsible NRC contracting officer must be ,

i consulted, and the responsible NRC technical contact shall consider the patent implications. If there is no need for patent review because of the certainty that the report contains no description of novel technical l developments that may be of an inventive nature, mark "N/A" on the NRC Form 426A in the space for the Patent Counsel's signature. If there is a possibility that there is disclosure of developments of an inventive nature, the contracting officer shall request assistance from the NRC Assistant General Counsel for Administration, Office of the General Counsel, on FTS 49-21553 or (301)49 21553. ,

Security Review (2)

Should a report of sensitive unclassified or classified work be required, the NRC contact must work with the NRC Division of Security to establish the appropriate procedures and inform the contractor of these procedures through the contracting officer. The standards for marking and handling these reports are given in Management Directive 12.2, NRC Information Security Program (formerly MC 2101).

Copyright Review (3)

Copyrighted material .must not appear in NRC-sponsored publications without written permission from the copyright holder.

See NUREG-0650, Revision 1, Section 3.4, for information about obtaining copyright permission.

' Handbook 3.8 Part H Color Printing (o)

Regulations issued by the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP) restrict the use of color in printed materials to those uses that are of demonstrable value. JCP regulations specify that " Demonstrably valuable multicolor printing..." includes the following categories:

e Maps and technical diagrams where additional color is necessary for clarity. (a) e Object identification (medical specimens, diseases, plants, flags, uniforms, etc.). (b) e Safety programs, fire prevention, savings bonds programs, and competitive areas of personnel recruiting. (c) e Areas wherein clearly identifiable savings in costs can be soundly i

predicated on multicolor use. (d) e Printing for programs required by law, whose relative success or failure is in direct ratio to the degree of public response, and where .

that response can be logically attributable to the number of colors l planned and :he manner in which they are proposed to be used. (e) e Color for promotional or motivational purposes such as programs ,

t concerning public health, safety, consumer benefits; or to '

encourage utilization of Government facilities such as programs for Social Security, Medicare, and certain areas of need for veterans would come within this category. (f)

The regulations indicate that the following categories do not meet the )

l

" demonstrable value" criteria. I e Printed items wherein additional color is used primari'y for decorative effect. (a) e Printed items where additional color is used primarily in lieu of effective layout and design. (b) e Printed items where additional color is used excessively, i.e., four colors when two or three will fulfill the need; three colors when two are adequate; two colors when one is adequate. (c) e Printed items wherein the inclusion of multicolor does not reflect careful, competent advanced planning which recognizes the contribution that the use of color is expected to make to the ultimate end purpose.

Part IV Books These guidelines apply to books written by contractors and gramees that are printed by NRC. See Section V below for guidance on publications, including books, by grantees.

DefinitiOH (A)

A book refers to a publication intended as a permanent reference or as a textbook or major critical review of a technical or regulatory topic.

Format (B)

Books are usually 6 x 9 inches in trim size,but size will be based on such ,

requirements as ease of use and legibility for graphics, foldouts, an 4 the like. The binding (casebound or paperback) will be chosen according to the need for durability. Additional guidance on l manuscript preparations can be found in the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual and in The Chicago Manualof Style (13th edition). Refer also to NRC's " Publishing Documents in the NUREG Series" (NUREG-0650, Revision 1).

The contractor shall submit to the NRC project manager the typeset (photocomposed) manuscript suitable for printing. The NRC contact shall submit the manuscript to the Chief, Regulatory Publications Branch, DFIPS, where it will be reviewed for adherence to the standards set forth and referenced in this directive and hand manuscript will also undergo a printing acceptability review by the Printing and Audiovisual Services Branch, DFIPS. Unsatisfactory manuscripts will be reported to the NRC contact for appropriate contractual action by the NRC contracting officer or, in the case of G overnment agency or interagency agreement work, the publications manager of the performing organization.

, Format (s)(continued)

DFIPS will approve design of the cover and title page to contain the appropriate information concerning:

(1) author names (s) 9 (2) organizationalidentification (3) public availability and sales.

All books must include a comprehensive subject index of the book's contents, unless it is made up almost exclusively of graphical or tabular matter. See NUREG-0650, Revision i, or The Chicago ManualofStyle (13th ed.) for guidelines on creating an index.

NRC Document Number (C)

Each book must be identified by an NRC-controlled alphanumeric code unique to that book. The alphanumeric code will have the form:

NUREG/CR for contractor-prepared books and NUREG/GR for grantee-prepared books.

When a book consists of more than one volume or binding, or is issued in more than one edition, an appropriate volume, number, supplement, part, addendum, or revision designation must appear directly below the document number.

Numbers are assigned by the Regulatory Publications Branch, DFIPS.

The number .may be obtained in advance of the time that the manuscript is submitted to DFIPS for printing by calling the Regulatory Publications Branch at FTS 49-24954 or (301)49-24954.

The DFIPS staff will arrange to meet with the NRC contact for the project and when appropriate, the author (s), to discuss the publication production requirements and schedule for the book.

l Reviews (E)

Peer (1)

NRC published books must undergo peer review from experts within and outside NRC. Peer review refers to a critical evaluation of the technical contents of a publication. These reviews may be conducted anonymously by reviewers from the author's own or a related field who are totally independent of the work leading to the manuscript.

Reviewers should be chosen by the NRC Office sponsoring the book from the potential audience for the publication and should provide an independent judgment about whether the publication successfully ,

accomplishes the author's aims. Peer reviewers should be chosen for their expertise in the subject matter of the book. They may come from academia, the National 1.aboratories, other Federal agencies, or from other research institutes or consulting firms. They may be identified from the membership rolls of professional societies, ANSI subcommittees, and the like. Do not choose more than one reviewer from the same organization.

When assessing potential peer reviewers, screen for demonstrated competence and achievement in a specific discipline or research specialty. Assess competence based on the quality of research accomplished, publications in refereed journals, and other significant technical activities, achievements, and honors. Consider the judgement, perspective, and objectivity of reviewers. Consider also the personal integrity of those selected to ensure the mnfidentiality of information reviewed. Finally, avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest. Do not choose reviewers who are licensees 6r consultants to licensees nor reviewers from intervenor groups. Likewise, do not choose reviewers who may profit financially from influencing the information reviewed.

The services of reviewers from outside the agency may be acquired through consultant services contracts. The decision as to whether to reimburse peer reviewers should be made on a case-by-case basis, however. Recognize that reimbursing peer reviewers may give the appearance of a conflict ofinterest, suggesting to some that because NRC is paying for this service, the agency will seek only reviewers thought to be favorably disposed to the material reviewed.One way to offset this impression is to seek recommendations for peer reviewers from independent organizations, like the American Physics Society, 22 Approved: April 23,1991

Copyright (2) i Copyrighted material must not be reproduced in NRC books without I the written permission of the copyright holder. See NUREG-0650, l i Revision 1, Section 3A, for information about obtaining copyright l permission.

Security (3) j Based on knowledge of the information sources used, the author is

! responsible for ensuring that the manuscript does not contain classified or other access-controlled information. If there is i uncertainty with respect to the security classification of a reference i

document or manuscript, an authorized classifier or the NRC Division of Security should be contacted for assistance. See also Management Directive 12.2, NRC Information Security Program (formerly MC 2101).

The patent-review guidelines for draft and final formal reports specified in Section II.C of this handbook also apply to contractor- and

CONTRACTOR SPENDING PLAN - INSTRUCTIONS The Contractor Spending Plan (CSP) is an important tool for projecting and l

tracking contract costs and progress each task under the contract.

i Applicability

?

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that the CSP be completed for cost reimbursement contracts when the award amount is expected to exceed

$100,000 and the period of performance is expected to exceed 6 months. For

~

task order type contracts, a CSP is required when an individual cost i

reimbursement task order is expected to exceed the above thresholds. When a j contract or task order modification increases the contract or task order i

amount of a cost reimbursement contract or task order to over $100,000 and

- the period of performance from the effective date of the modification to the-contract or task order expiration exceeds 6 months, a CSP is required for l

j all contract work to be performed after the effective date of the

modification.

I Submission 1 i

l- 1. A CSP is required:

!~ a. as part of the cost proposal for a cost reimbursement contract or individual task order, or modification to a contract or task order which meets the above thresholds; y

l b. as part of the Best and Final Offer (if requested) as a result of negotiations;

2. Updated CSP information is required on a monthly basis or asSection approvedF.3, by the CO as part of the " Financial Status Report" (Ref:

'" Financial Status Report").

Format The attached CSP sample format may be duplicated and used by the Contractor, or modified to permit more accurate reporting or to meet other needs of the contractor. For instance, the sample format provides spaces to report projected costs for 12 months, but the contractor may wish to alter the sample format for shorter or longer contract / task order periods. The contractor may also wish to alter the sample for at for ease of typing or automated production. So long as complete information is provided on actual and projected costs or accomplishments, changes to the format to improve relevance to the circumstances are encouraged.

It is up to the discretion of the offeror to determine the appropriate level of cost detail to be presented based on the complexity of the effort. This plan reflects only the minimum. requirements for submission of cost details which will be considered for completeness, reasonableness, and as a measure of effective management of the effort. The Contracting Officer reserves.the right to request additional cost information, if deemed necessary.
