NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Licensing Support System Advisory Review Panel

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of the Licensing Support System Advisory 
Review Panel (LSSARP).

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

SUMMARY: The Licensing Support System Advisory Review Panel was 
established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a Federal 
Advisory Committee in 1989. Its purpose is to provide advice to (1) the 
Department of Energy (DOE) on the fundamental issues of design and 
development of an electronic information management system to be used 
to store and retrieve documents relating to the licensing of a geologic 
repository for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste, and (2) 
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the operation and maintenance of 
the system. This electronic information management system is known as 
the Licensing Support System (LSS).
    Membership on the Panel is drawn from those interests that will be 
affected by the use of the LSS, including the Department of Energy, the 
NRC, the State of Nevada, Tribal interests, affected units of local 
governments in Nevada, and the nuclear industry. Federal agencies with 
expertise and experience in electronic information management systems 
also participate on the Panel.
    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has determined that renewal of 
the charter for the LSSARP until December 19, 1998 is in the public 
interest in connection with duties imposed on the Commission by law. 
This action is being taken in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act after consultation with the Committee Management 
Secretariat, General Services Administration.
