NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Licensing Support Network; Advisory Review Panel

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP) 
will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, February 23, 2000, at the 
Alexis Park Hotel located at 375 E. Harmon, Las Vegas, NV. The meeting 
will be open to the public pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (Pub. L. 94-463, 86 Stat. 770-776).
    Agenda: The meeting will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on 
Wednesday, February 23, 2000. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss 
issues concerning the design and operation of the Licensing Support 
Network (LSN). The LSN is an internet-based electronic discovery 
database being developed to aid the NRC in complying with the schedule 
for decision on the construction authorization for the high-level waste 
repository contained in Section 114(d) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act 
of 1982, as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1998, the NRC Rules of Practice in 10 CFR 
Part 2, Subpart J, were modified to provide for the creation and 
operation of the LSN, an internet-based technological solution to the 
submission and management of records and documents relating to the 
licensing of a geologic repository for the disposal of high-level 
radioactive waste. (63 FR 71729.) Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.1011(d), the 
agency has chartered the LSNARP, an advisory committee that provides 
advice to the NRC on fundamental issues relating to LSN design, 
operation, maintenance, and compliance monitoring. At the February 23, 
2000 LSNARP meeting, a principal topic for discussion will be the 
evaluation of alternative system configuration designs developed by the 
LSNARP's Technical Working Group to identify which
