Title: Availability of Official Records
Abstract: The proposed amendment would conform the NRC's regulations pertaining to the availability of official records to existing case law and agency practice. The amendment would reaffirm that 10 CFR 2.790(c) provides submitters of information a qualified right to have their information returned upon request. This amendment informs the public of three additional circumstances where information will not be returned to the applicant, i.e., information which has been made available to an advisory committee or was received at an advisory committee meeting, information discussed at an open Commission meeting under the Government in Sunshine Act and information that is subject to a pending Freedom of Information Act request. ^PThe proposed amendment would also address the NRC's procedures for handling copyrighted information, including reproduction and distribution according to normal agency practice. The NRC, in receiving submittals and making its normal distributions, routinely photocopies submittals, makes microfiche of the submittals, and ensures that these fiche are distributed to the Public Document Room, Local Public Document Rooms, all appropriate internal offices, and made available to the National Technical Information Service. This broad distribution and reproduction is made to increase public understanding of the peaceful uses of atomic energy. The proposed rule would not prevent submitters from applying 10 CFR 2.790(b)(1) procedures to information that contains trade secrets or privileged or confidential commercial or financial information (proprietary information) and it is recognized that some information in those categories may be copyrighted. Proprietary information status exempts this material from public disclosure and is not to be confused with handling pursuant to copyright designation.
