NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2019-0163]


Use of Listserv for Low-Level Waste Program Correspondence

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Implementation of electronic distribution of low-level waste 
program correspondence.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this 
document to inform the public that, as of August 15, 2019, publicly-
available low-level waste program correspondence originating from the 
Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, and Waste Programs 
(DUWP) in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) 
will be transmitted by a computer-based email distribution system 
Listserv to addressees and subscribers. This change does not affect the 
availability of official agency records in the NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

DATES: This initiative will be implemented on August 15, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Please refer to Docket ID NRC-2019-0163 when contacting the 
NRC about the availability of information regarding this document. You 
may obtain publicly-available information related to this document 
using any of the following methods:
     Federal Rulemaking website: Go to https://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC-2019-0163. Address 
questions about NRC docket IDs in Regulations.gov to Jennifer Borges; 
telephone: 301-287-9127; email: [email protected].
     NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System 
(ADAMS): You may obtain publicly-available documents online in the 
ADAMS Public Documents collection at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To begin the search, select ``Begin Web-based ADAMS 
Search.'' For problems with ADAMS, please contact the NRC's Public 
Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or 
by email to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie Wong, telephone: 301-415-2432; 
email: [email protected] or Stephen Dembek, telephone: 301-415-2342; 
email: [email protected]. Both are staff of the Office of Nuclear 
Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DUWP currently already uses Listserv to 
distribute correspondence for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing (WIR) 
Program Documents (82 FR 33160; July 19, 2017) as well as reactors in 
decommissioning (83 FR 49434; October 1, 2018). Public feedback 
regarding this process has been positive, as it allows for other 
stakeholders to be notified of and receive NRC's correspondence to 
addressees in a timely manner. Distribution of documents containing 
safeguards, proprietary or security-related information, or other 
information that is withheld from public disclosure will not be 
affected by this initiative.
    This initiative of establishing a Low-Level Waste Program ListServ 
will be implemented on August 15, 2019. For those members of the public 
who are currently on the NRC low-level waste program email list and are 
already receiving NRC emails with links to publicly-available low-level 
waste program documents, your email addresses have already been 
transferred to the Low-Level Waste Program ListServ. You will continue 
to receive NRC correspondences via email in the future and do not need 
to take further action.
    If any other members of the public would like to start receiving 
NRC emails with a link to future publicly-available low-level waste 
program documents, please sign-up for the ListServ using the following 
steps: (1) Go to the NRC's public website and select ``Public Meetings 
& Involvement,'' (2) select ``Subscribe to Email Updates,'' (3) select 
``Lyris Subscription Services'' and check the box for ``LLW 
Distribution,'' (4) enter the email address through which you want to 
receive the NRC Listserv emails, and (5) click on ``Subscribe.''
    Once subscribed, you will receive an email from the NRC with 
instructions for managing your NRC Listserv subscription, including how 
to change email addresses and how to unsubscribe.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day of August, 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Bo M. Pham,
Deputy Director, Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, and 
Waste Programs, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
