NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Implementation Guidance for the Rulemaking on Radiological 
Criteria for Decommissioning; Availability of World-Wide Web Site

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a world-wide web site to support 
interactive discussions related to development of implementation 
guidance for the decommissioning rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise the public that the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established an interactive web page on 
the Internet that will increase public access to the guidance as it is 
being developed by NRC staff. Specifically, the web page supports 
interactive discussions related to development of implementation 
guidance for the NRC's rulemaking on radiological criteria for 
decommissioning. The web page is open to the public and acts as a forum 
for discussions with NRC staff regarding implementation issues. The web 
page will be devoted to the further development of useful 
implementation guidance and users will have the opportunity to review 
and comment on staff documents as they are developed. Comments received 
will be available for review by other users.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine Daily, Office of Research, 
Mail Stop T-9C24, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555, telephone (301) 415-6026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice of availability of the enhanced 
participatory rulemaking electronic bulletin board and 800 number was 
published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1993 (58 FR 37760). The 
purpose of the electronic bulletin board was to afford public access to 
the enhanced participatory rulemaking process being employed to develop 
radiological criteria for decommissioning.
    The NRC has now set up an interactive web page on the Internet to 
increase public access to the development of guidance documents related 
to radiological criteria for decommissioning. This interactive web page 
will facilitate technical discussions regarding implementation issues 
associated with the decommissioning rulemaking and will allow members 
of the public as well as people with expertise and experience in areas 
related to pathways modeling, dose assessment, performance of site 
surveys, and instrumentation to provide information and assistance to 
the NRC in the development of implementation guidance for the final 
decommissioning rule.
    For individuals without current access to a computer with a 
connection to the world wide web, area college or university libraries, 
or local public libraries, may offer access to the internet and the 
world wide web. To connect to this web page, point the web browser to 
http://www.nrc.gov/news.html/ and select the link under the 
``Decommissioning Implementation'' heading in ``What's New'', or link 
directly via http://orsun.saic.com:8086/cgi-bin/HyperNews/get/home.html
    If you have any questions or comments about the interactive web 
page, please leave them in the comments section on the main page. This 
section works like e-mail and will be reviewed at least once each day 
by the NRC staff.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of October, 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Bill M. Morris,
Director, Division of Regulatory Applications, Office of Nuclear 
Regulatory Research.
