    NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
    
    Notice of Issuance and Availability of NUREG-1567 Standard Review 
    Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities
    
        The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a draft 
    report NUREG-1567 entitled ``Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry 
    Storage Facilities,'' for review and comment.
        The Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities 
    (FSRP) is prepared for the guidance of staff reviewers in the Spent 
    Fuel Project Office in performing safety reviews of license 
    applications for installations for dry storage of nuclear materials 
    under Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 72 (10 CFR 
    72). The principal purpose of the FSRP is to assure the quality and 
    uniformity of staff safety reviews. It is also the intent of this plan 
    to make information about regulatory matters widely available and to 
    improve communications between the NRC, interested members of the 
    public, and the nuclear power industry, thereby increasing 
    understanding of the review process. The FSRP also defines a basis for 
    evaluating modifications of the review process in the future.
        Draft NUREG-1567 is available for inspection and copying for a fee 
    at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW (Lower Level), 
    Washington, D.C. 20555-0001. A free copy of Draft NUREG-1567 may be 
    requested by writing to Distribution Services, Printing and Mail 
    Services Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
    Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001.
        Comments on all aspects of this draft document are welcome and will 
    be considered and incorporated into the FSRP, as appropriate. 
    Furthermore, since the staff is considering alternatives to the seismic 
    requirements in Sec. 72.102, for ISFSIs, comments are particularly 
    invited on Sections 2.4.6 and 2.5.6. It is requested that comments be 
    submitted using the form (or a photocopy thereof) contained in Appendix 
    E. Comments on draft NUREG-1567 should be submitted by March 1, 1997. 
    The FSRP is scheduled for publication as an NRC NUREG document in 1997.
        A separate Standard Review Plan for Dry Cask Storage Systems 
    (DCSRP) was issued for public comment in February 1996 as draft NUREG 
    1536. The DCSRP is scheduled to be published as an NRC NUREG document 
    in January 1997. To ensure consistency between the two standard review 
    plans (SRPs), comments on sections common to both SRPs will be 
    considered and incorporated, as appropriate, in both NUREGs.
        Mail comments to: Chief, Rules Review and Directives Branch, 
    Division of Freedom of Information and Publication Services, Mail Stop 
    T-6 D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-
    0001. Comments may be hand-delivered to 11545 Rockville Pike, 
    Rockville, Maryland, between 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., on Federal 
    workdays.
        Comments may also be submitted electronically, in either ASCII text 
    or WordPerfect format (version 5.1 or later) containing information 
    requested in Appendix E, by calling the NRC Electronic Bulletin Board 
    on FEDWORLD. The bulletin board may be accessed using a personal 
    computer, a modem, and one of the commonly available communications 
    software packages, or directly via Internet.
        If using a personal computer and modem, the NRC subsystem on 
    FEDWORLD can be accessed directly by dialing the toll-free number: 1-
    800-303-9672. Communication software parameters should be set as 
    follows: parity to none, data bits to 8, and stop bits to 1 (N,8,1). 
    Using ANSI terminal emulation, the NRC NUREG and Reg Guide Comments 
    subsystem can then be accessed by selecting the ``NRC Rules Menu'' 
    option from the ``NRC Mail Menu.'' For further information about 
    options available for NRC at FEDWORLD, consult the ``Help/Information 
    Center'' from the ``NRC Main Menu.'' Users will find the ``FEDWORLD 
    Online User's Guides'' particularly helpful. Many NRC subsystems and 
    databases also have a ``Help/Information Center'' option that is 
    tailored to the particular subsystem.
        The NRC subsystem on FEDWORLD can also be accessed by a direct dial 
    phone number for the main FEDWORLD BBS: 703-321-3339; Telnet via 
    Internet: fedworld.gov (192.239.92.3); File Transfer Protocol (FTP) via 
    Internet: ftp.fedworld.gov (192.239.92.205); and World Web using: 
    http://www.fedworld.gov (this is the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)).
        If using a method other than the toll-free number to contact 
    FEDWORLD, the NRC subsystem will be accessed from the main FEDWORLD 
    menu by selecting the ``Regulatory, Government Administration and State 
    Systems,'' the selecting ``Regulatory Information Mall.'' At that 
    point, a menu will be displayed that has an option ``U.S.
    
    [[Page 57927]]
    
    Nuclear Regulatory Commission'' that will take you to the NRC Online 
    main menu. The NRC Online area can also be accessed directly by typing 
    ``/go nrc'' at a FEDWORLD command line. If you access NRC from 
    FEDWORLD's main menu, you may return to FEDWORLD by selecting the 
    ``Return to FEDWORLD'' option from the NRC Online Main Menu. However, 
    if you access NRC at FEDWORLD by using NRC's toll-free number, you will 
    have full access to all NRC systems but will not have access to the 
    main FEDWORLD system.
        If you contact FEDWORLD using Telnet, you will see the NRC area and 
    menus, including the Rules menu. Although you will be able to download 
    documents and leave messages, you will not be able to write comments or 
    upload files (comments). If you contact FEDWORLD using FTP, all files 
    can be accessed and downloaded but uploads are not allowed; all you 
    will see is a list of files without descriptions (normal Gopher look). 
    An index file listing all files within a subdirectory, with 
    descriptions, is included. There is a 15-minute time limit for FTP 
    access.
        Although FEDWORLD can be accessed through the World Wide Web, like 
    FTP that mode provides access for downloading files and does not 
    display the NRC Rules Menu. For more information on NRC bulletin 
    boards, call Mr. Arthur Davis, Systems Integration and Development 
    Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, 
    telephone (301) 415-5780; E-mail AXD3@nrc.gov.
    
        Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of October 1996.
    
        For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
    Susan Frant Shankman,
    Chief, Transportation Safety and Inspection Branch, Spent Fuel Project 
    Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
