                       NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

TO ALL REACTOR LICENSEES, HOLDERS OF CONSTRUCTION PERMITS AND APPLICANTS 

SUBJECT:  SUBMITTAL OF DOCUMENTS TO THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 
          (Generic Letter No. 82-14 ) 

In recent months the volume of document submittals to the NRC, combined with
confusion relating to copy requirements and submittal methods, has caused 
delays in document processing. 

To ensure expeditious processing of formal submittals, please comply with 
the requirements set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I. Informal advance submittals 
may be made, however, with the agreement of the NRC Project Manager. 
Informal submittals must be labelled "Addressee Only" and are not considered 
part of the formal submittal. 

Enclosure 1 summarizes the above requirements, and identifies our other copy
needs not prescribed in the regulations. Alternatives for meeting these 
requirements, such as submittal of microforms, are described in Enclosure 2.

Should you have any questions regarding the proper administrative procedures
for making formal submittals or reports to NRC, please contact your Project 
Manager. 

                                   Sincerely, 


                                   Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director 
                                   Division of Licensing
