Abstract

This document is designed to assist NRC staff in drafting, preparing, and reviewing rulemaking documents for publication in the Federal Register. It is intended to serve as a guidance tool, and provides information relevant to each step in the rulemaking process. This revision reflects changes resulting from the consolidation of rulemaking policy matters into Management Directive 6.3, "The Rulemaking Process," and the placement of sample documents and some procedures on the NRC Rulemaker web site. This revision reflects various other changes that have occurred in the rulemaking process and in NRC procedures since the last complete revision of this document in 2001.
