discussed and the list of resources by

January 9, 1998. Following is the list of

issues:

Preliminary List of Issues To Be

Addressed by the Electronic Records

Work Group

The Electronic Records Work Group is

charged with developing a practical,

implementable approach to replacing

the disposition authorities currently

provided by GRS 20. This issues list is

a ‘‘first cut’’ at identifying those issues

which need to be addressed as part of

the project. The list is meant to

stimulate discussion and lead to the

identification of other issues. Comments

on the list and suggestions for additions

should be sent to the NARA through its

web page at <www.nara.gov/records/

grs20> or by fax to Michael Miller at

301–713–6850.

Scope of the GRS

1. The GRS, including GRS–20,

should cover only administrative

records. How should administrative

records be defined and how should the

programmatic records excluded from

GRS-20 be scheduled?

2. How should the GRS fit into the

overall spectrum of disposition

guidance and authorization? What other

approaches are there for developing

disposition authorities for records

common to several agencies?

3. Is there a role for a specific GRS

covering records used to operate and

manage central computer facilities and

local area networks? If so what should

that GRS include?

4. Is there a rationale for not applying

the GRS to electronic records of some

agencies?

Implementation Issues

5. What implementation options are

available to agencies now and for the

next 5–7 years and into the future?

6. If records in an application system

such as email or word processing are

not arranged according to the agency

filing system, how does one go about

implementing a disposition schedule?

7. Is it possible to schedule the

disposition of individual records

(documents) in word processing and email applications? If not, what are the

alternatives?

8. What approaches are there for

replacing the disposition ‘‘delete (or

destroy) when no longer needed?’’

9. Do agency staff have a difficult time

understanding and applying GRS 20? If

so, what lessons should be applied to

developing the replacement?

Dated: December 19, 1997.

Deputy Archivist of the United States.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Steam Generator Tube Inspection

Techniques; Issue

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) has issued Generic

Letter (GL) 97–05 to all holders of

operating licenses for pressurized-water

reactors, except those who have

permanently ceased operations and

have certified that fuel has been

permanently removed from the reactor

vessel, to emphasize the importance of

performing steam generator tube

inservice inspections using qualified

techniques in accordance with the

requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR

Part 50, and to require certain

information from addressees to

determine whether they are in

compliance with the current licensing

basis for their respective facilities given

their steam generator tube inservice

inspection practices. This generic letter

only requests information from the

addressees under the provisions of

Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act,

as amended, and 10 CFR 50.54(f).

The generic letter is available in the

NRC Public Document Room under

accession number 9712120014.

DATES: The generic letter was issued on

December 17, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Not applicable.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Phillip J. Rush, at (301) 415–2790.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

generic letter does not constitute a

backfit as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1)

since it does not impose modifications

of or additions to structures, systems or

components or to design or operation of

an addressee’s facility. It also does not

impose an interpretation of the

Commission’s rules that is either new or

different from a previous staff position.

The staff, therefore, has not performed

a backfit analysis.
