SUBJECT: GENERIC COMMUNICATIONS DISTRIBUTION LIST 

The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Division of Policy and Rulemaking, Generic

currently uses a combination of electronic and standard mail (i.e., paper copies) for generic 

communication correspondence, such as Regulatory Issue Summaries, Information Notices, 

Generic Letters, and Bulletins. The PGCB staff is exploring opportunities to reduce the amount 

of standard mail the Federal government generates. 

In support of this, the PGCB staff is informing those subscribers currently receiving both

electronic and standard mail, that within 45 days of the date of this letter, they will be 

unsubscribed from the standard mailing list and will no longer receive generic communication 

correspondence through standard mail. They will continue to receive electronic generic 

communication correspondence. 

The PGCB staff is also informing those subscribers currently receiving only standard mail 

distribution for generic communication correspondence of how to sign up for electronic 

distribution for generic communication correspondence. If you currently receive only standard 

mail and are willing to stop receiving standard mail and start receiving electronic mail, please 

provide a brief e-mail to Ms. Cathy Hawes, Cathy.Hawes@nrc.gov, within 45 days after the date 

of this letter, expressing this so she can remove you from the standard mail subscriber list. If no 

response is received, you will continue to receive generic communication correspondence 

through standard mail. In addition, please follow the instructions below to start receiving 

electronic generic communication correspondence. Please contact Cathy Hawes at the e-mail 

address above if you have any questions or need assistance.
