 WTO.美国通报机械工程师学会规范案例批准的补遗
编号：G/TBT/N/USA/1391/Add.1
标题：美国机械工程师学会规范案例批准
机构：核管理委员会
行动：最终规则
摘要：美国核管理委员会（NRC）正在修订其法规，以引用美国机械工程师学会（American Society of Mechanical Engineers）发布的批准新的、修订的和重申的规范案例的三个管理指南的最新修订。这项行动允许被许可方和申请人使用这些管理指南中列出的规范案例作为核电厂部件施工、运行中检查和运行中测试的工程标准的自愿替代品。这些工程标准在美国机械工程师学会锅炉和压力容器规范和美国机械工程师学会操作和维护规范中有规定，这些规范目前通过引用并入NRC的法规中。此外，本最终规则宣布了相关监管指南的可用性，该指南未通过引用纳入NRC法规，其中列出了NRC未批准使用的代码案例。
Regulations.gov上的docket文件夹提供了访问本规则制定的主要和支持文件以及收到的评论：https://www.Regulations.gov/docket？D=NRC-2017-0024。
日期：本最终规则于2020年4月15日生效。自2020年4月15日起，通过引用本法规中列出的某些出版物的方式并入联邦公报处处长批准。

TITLE: Approval of American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Code Cases
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
ACTION: Final rule
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to incorporate by reference the latest revisions of three regulatory guides approving new, revised, and reaffirmed Code Cases published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This action allows licensees and applicants to use the Code Cases listed in these regulatory guides as voluntary alternatives to engineering standards for the construction, inservice inspection, and inservice testing of nuclear power plant components. These engineering standards are set forth in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes and American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Operation and Maintenance Codes, which are currently incorporated by reference into the NRC's regulations. Further, this final rule announces the availability of a related regulatory guide, not incorporated by reference into the NRC's regulations, that lists Code Cases that the NRC has not approved for use.
The docket folder on Regulations.gov provides access to primary and supporting documents for this rulemaking as well as the comments received: https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=NRC-2017-0024.
DATES: This final rule is effective on 15 April 2020. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulation is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 15 April 2020.（技术服务中心）
