NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-508 and 50-509]


Washington Nuclear Units 3 and 5 Closing of Local Public Document 
Room

    Notice is hereby given that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
is closing the local public document room (LPDR) for records pertaining 
to the Washington Public Power Supply System's Washington Nuclear Units 
3 and 5 (WPPSS) located at the W.H. Abel Memorial Library, Montesano, 
Washington, effective August 15, 1997.
    The W.H. Abel Memorial Library has served as the LPDR for WPPSS 
Units 3 and 5 for 23 years. In a letter dated May 28, 1997, the 
community librarian officially informed the NRC that they no longer 
wish to serve as the LPDR. NRC has made the decision to officially 
close the WPPSS Units 3 and 5 LPDR because none of the libraries in the 
vicinity of the Satsop, Washington site are interested in maintaining 
the document collection, no facility was ever constructed on the site, 
and there has been no demonstrated local public interest in the LPDR 
materials for a number of years. Therefore, effective August 15, 1997, 
the LPDR will be closed.
    Persons now interested in information pertaining to this facility 
or any other NRC activity may contact the NRC Public Document Room by 
calling toll-free 1-800-397-4209 or writing to NRC Public Document 
Room, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of August, 1997.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Russell A. Powell,
Chief, Freedom of Information/Local Public Document Room Branch, Office 
of Information Resources Management.
