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, August 8, 2001, at the Crowne 
Plaza Hotel located at 4255 South Paradise Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 
89109. 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 5:00 p.m. on 
Wednesday, August 8, 2001. 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 August 8, 
2001 LSNARP meeting, the principal topics will include discussion of 
the recent revisions to 10 CFR Part 2 (66 FR 29453-29467--May 31, 
2001); discussion of LSNA guidance materials, functional requirements, 
etc. that were released June 13, 2001; demonstration of the LSN portal 
and software; a presentation of a technical scenario for a small 
participant system with some projections about what it will actually 
take to put ``100 documents'' on the web; and, any other items that DOE 
or other participants would like to put on the table.
