NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Licensing Support System Advisory Review Panel

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of the Charter of the Licensing Support 
Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP).

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

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 was 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 was known as 
the Licensing Support System (LSS). In 1998 the Commission approved 
amendments to 10 CFR Part 2 to provide for a Network based electronic 
information management system and the Licensing Support System Advisory 
Review Panel was renamed as the Licensing Support Network Advisory 
Review Panel and the Charter was amended to reflect other changes made 
in the rule.
    The Commission recently decided to place the LSN Administrator 
under the supervision of the Chief Administrative Judge (CAJ) of the 
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel and to have the LSNARP report 
to the CAJ. To accommodate the change minor modifications to the 
Charter have been made.
    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has determined that amendment of 
the charter 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.
