1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

In accordance with the provisions of Title 10, Part 2, Subpart J, of the Code of Federal

Regulations (10 CFR Part 2, Subpart J), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(NRC) maintains an electronic docket for the adjudicatory proceeding associated with

the anticipated application for a license to receive and possess high-level waste (HLW)

at a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The High-Level Waste Electronic Hearing

Docket (HLW-EHD) will contain the official record of documentary and other materials

submitted in the pre-license application phase and post-docketing phase of the Yucca

Mountain licensing proceeding, in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.1010(d)

and 2.1013(c). Specifically, those provisions require that all filings submitted and all

orders and decisions issued during the course of the proceeding must be transmitted

electronically to participants in the proceeding, the presiding officer, and the Office of

the Secretary of the Commission (SECY).

The NRC has analyzed and evaluated the capabilities of current information

technologies and the various document and record management processes executed

by the Agency to handle the anticipated submittals. Based on those analyses, the NRC

anticipates that many electronic submittals in the HLW adjudicatory proceeding will be

"large documents" consisting of hundreds of pages of textual and graphic-oriented

materials with electronic file sizes more than several hundred megabytes(MB).

To provide for the integrity and accessibility of the large and complex electronic

documents in the HLW proceeding, the NRC is providing this guidance document to

facilitate 1) submittal processing, 2) ready access to, and use of, such submittals by

participants in the HLW proceeding, 3) public access to the HLW-EHD, and 4) the

eventual transfer of these docket materials to National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA). (Attachment B to this guidance presents a glossary of related

terms.)

1.2 Scope

This guidance document addresses the electronic transmission and submission of

documentary materials to the NRC by all participants in HLW adjudicatory proceeding

conducted under 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart J.V

Electronic submittals may be textual documents, graphic-oriented documents (e.g.,

maps, photographs, charts, handwritten documents), or other large or complex

'The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) should also use this guidance in submitting its license

application and related materials for NRC review. DOE need not submit its license application via

Electronic Information Exchange.

1
electronic objects (e.g., computer programs, computer simulations, spreadsheets, audio

and/or video files, data files). Examples of documents submitted in the pre-license

application and post-docketing phase of the adjudicatory proceeding include:

* Licensing Support Network Certifications and filings challenging those

certifications

* Other adjudicatory documents (e.g., intervention petitions, motions,

responses, transcripts, exhibits, decisions, and orders)

* DOE License Application and supporting materials

* DOE Environmental Impact Statement

* DOE responses to NRC requests for additional information

Generally, this guidance provides for service of adjudicatory docket materials via the

Internet using the NRC's Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) (see Section 4.0) in an

electronic format that "locks down" the content and pagination of documentary material

for ease of citation in the proceeding, thereby ensuring document integrity when

accessed on computer desktops. This guidance also provides instructions for

electronic submittals (including large submittals segmented into manageable file sizes)

via (a) the Internet (Section 4.0) and/or (b) physical delivery on Optical Storage Media

(OSM) (e.g., CD-ROM (Compact Disk, Read Only Memory)) (Section 5.0).

Physical delivery of OSM is permitted, in part, in recognition that it may not be practical

to submit some large and complex electronic files via the Internet.2 Any OSM delivered

to the NRC should contain a complete copy of the electronic submission, including any

and all associated files that were also transmitted by EIE.

Failure to comply with this guidance may result in a submittal being rejected.

2 The following electronic files may not be suitable for submission via the Internet:

* multimedia files (e.g., audio and/or video files, simulations);

* executable programs, including database files, spreadsheet;

* data files specific to commercially available software

* data files specific to non-commercially available software

2
2.0 APPLICABLE SUBMITTAL TYPES

The NRC anticipates that electronic documentary submittals will fall into three general

categories based on the submittal type, size, and characteristics. The following table

describes these categories and summarizes the applicable submission methods.

3.0 PARAMETERS FOR ELECTRONIC FILE SUBMISSION

This section describes how documentary material should be constructed for submission

to the NRC.

3.1 File Formats

Electronic documentary materials submitted in the HLW adjudicatory proceeding should

be submitted in PDF (a freely available format) or otherwise meet the specifications

delineated in this section. Scanning of the best available copy of a paper document to

create a Searchable Image (Exact) PDF file creates an accurate electronic copy of the

original document.

The following table defines the particular PDF output file formats and their use when

submitting electronic documents to the NRC:

Preferred PDF Output File Format General Information Table

Attachment A ._ _

Adobe Acrobat PDF Image Only. Options Current or 2 previous pdf Preferred format for

should be set according to the settings graphic-, Image-, and

described in Attachment A forms-oriented

documents

(not for capture of text)

Textual documents scanned from original paper copies converted to PDF Formatted Text and Graphics

result in capture of only a text file that contains OCR conversion errors. This Inaccurate representation of

the original document is not acceptable for capture by the NRC as an archival record. If the native format of

a document Is not available for creating a PDF file, the NRC recommends that Searchable Image (Exact)

PDF be generated from a scanned image of the document. This will create a PDF file that contains a 100%

accurate representation of the original document which will be acceptable for transfer to the National

Archives.

** Adobe PDF Formatted Text and Graphics files that contain embedded images of text will not be accepted.

These files are usually a result of cutting and pasting Images of text Instead of the text itself, from one

document to another while creating documents using word processing applications. This practice results in

a picture of the text being created that Is not full text searchable. However, images of text that are intended

as a graphical representation only and are not meant to convey the Information contained in the text will be

accepted

The acceptable versions of PDF output files Include the current market (non-beta) version distributed by the

4
software vendor, the version distributed directly previous to the current version, and the version distributed

two versions previous to the current version.

Note: Adobe has recently established a fourth PDF output file format (PDF Searchable

Image (Compact)) that uses compression techniques to reduce file sizes of images.

This is not an acceptable format for submission to the NRC.

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 provides four default optimizations when creating the Formatted

Text and Graphics PDF. These are eBook, Press, Print, and Screen. The NRC has

reviewed these optimizations and has established a custom optimization that strikes a

balance between print and screen optimizations. This custom optimization provides

adequate retrieval response time for viewing online while providing sufficient clarity and

resolution for printing. The settings contained within this custom optimization are in

Attachment A and can be saved locally for use on all submittals to the NRC. The

parameter values listed in Attachment A are specific to Adobes Acrobat 5.0, however,

when PDF creation software other than Adobee Acrobat 5.0 is used, the PDF creation

software should be configured with parameter values equivalent to those listed in

Attachment A. All fonts should be embedded in the PDF file to ensure compliance with

NARA guidelines.

Images originally created in a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) that are primarily

graphic-oriented in nature may be converted into PDF for submission to NRC using the

PDF Image Only format as described above.

When submitting an electronic file using one of the acceptable formats listed in the

tables above, the file name should contain the three-character default extension in

which the file was created (e.g., a document prepared as "license_amendment.pdf"

should be submitted with the ".pdf' file extension).

Spreadsheet Formats

The NRC requires that the results of spreadsheet applications be converted to one

of the acceptable PDF file formats. The NRC staff may also request spreadsheet data to

perform additional calculations/analyses. Spreadsheet data may be submitted using the

following acceptable formats.

Acceptable File Extensions General Information Table

File Format Version Filename Preferred Use

Extension

Microsoft' Excel' Current or 2 previous * xis Spread Sheet calculations

Corel OuattroPro Current or 2 previous * wb3 Spread Sheet calculations

LotusP 1-2-3 Current or 2 previous * wk3/wk4 Spread Sheet calculations

The acceptable versions of spreadsheets Include the current market (non-beta) version distributed by the

5
software vendor, the version distributed directly previous to the current version, and the version distributed two

versions previous to the current version.

Graphic-oriented and Larae and Complex Electronic Objects

To the extent practical, textual files, graphic-oriented files, and other electronic objects

(e.g., spreadsheets, audio and/or video files) should be submitted electronically

as PDF files. If the applicable file size and resolution restrictions (see Sections 3.2, 3.7 )

cannot be met for a given graphic-oriented file or other electronic object, do not submit that file

or object in PDF.

The NRC recommends submitting oversize image files in a non-proprietary format that

does not utilize lossy compression (e.g., tagged image file format, also known as TIFF).

Similarly, the NRC recommends submitting video and audio files in a format compatible with

commercially available playback devices.

Electronic objects specific to highly specialized software applications such as specialpurpose computer programs, simulations, and data files are acceptable in their native file

format. Submission of these specialized electronic objects that are specific to

commercially available software should include the following information about the

software:

* software title and version

* compatible computer operating system

* hardware requirements (including the minimum recommended hardware

configuration)

* a list of user-controlled parameters used with the software.

Submission of these specialized electronic objects that are specific to non-commercially

available software should include (1) a freely distributable "run-time" version of all software

components that the submitter used to create the files, and (2) the following information:

* validation reports on the software used to create the files

* compatible computer operating system

* software and hardware installation/configuration parameters

* hardware requirements (including the minimum recommended hardware

configuration)

* other information to ensure seamless access to and review, duplication, and printing

of the files.

3.2 File Size Limitations

Large files create challenges for users when transmitting, viewing, or downloading

documents. Submitters should limit file sizes to 50 MB for electronic submittals and divide

larger electronic files into segments of 50 MB or less at logical breaks in the document

(e.g., at individual chapters) as described in Section 3.3.

6
Compression techniques that are not inherent in authoring software used to produce PDF

or TIFF files (e.g., zipped files) may not be used.

The 50 MB file size will allow participants in the adjudicatory proceeding and the general

public to access electronic files in the HLW-EHD via the Internet. Test results indicate that

50 MB is a reasonable file size for downloading files across wide area networks or from the

Internet via phone lines. In addition, larger files (greater than 50 MB) are difficult for endusers to navigate.

While we do not recommend a minimum file size, small files that are components of a

larger document should be combined into one file to facilitate efficient distribution and use

of the documentary material. For example, if a document consists of 15 separate 2 MB

files, those 15 files should be combined to result in one 30 MB file.

3.3 Segmentation of Large Documents

Large documents with file sizes greater than 50 MB should be divided in file segments of

50 MB or less at logical breakpoints such as:

a. Chapters

b. Sections

c. Subsections

d. Appendices

e. Exhibits or attachments

f. Charts, Tables, Formulae

g. For large transcripts, the end of a witness' testimony or session recess

If the recommended file size cannot be achieved, consider moving the graphics (which are

often large files) to an appendix or attachment. Any graphic or other Binary Large Object

(BLOB) that exceeds the 50 MB limit and that cannot logically be divided, should not be

segmented. In this case, the graphic or BLOB cannot be sent via EIE (see Section 4.0)

and should be provided on OSM in accordance with guidance in Section 5.0.

When OSM are submitted, use electronic folders to organize the contents at the chapter

level consistent with the file name guidance outlined in Section 3.5. In addition to the limit

on file name length, the Joliet Extension to ISO 9660 allows an overall limit on length of

path of 255 characters, including the file name and extension. The numeric portion of the

file name should be sequential across all folders. Therefore:

* Each Chapter will have its own folder which should then contain all files associated

with that Chapter, including sections, subsections, and graphics (either embedded

within those sections/subsections or provided separately).

* The sections/subsections should be placed in logical sequential order within a

folder.

7
Separate folders may be created for appendices, exhibits, or attachments. Each

item should have the file name reflect the folder where it resides, if practical in

conjunction with complying with the file name guidance in Section 3.5.

If multiple OSM are submitted (either alone or as a supplement to an EIE submission),

place the Table of Contents for the entire submission on each OSM in a multi-set

submission. Place all files submitted via EIE on the first OSM and as many additional OSM

as required to store those files submitted via EIE. Submit other electronic objects such

as computer programs, simulations, video, audio, data files, etc., on separate OSM and

include any special software components, their configuration parameters, and any

hardware configuration requirements, as applicable.

3.4 Transmittal Letter

Include with each submittal, a transmittal letter3 (see Attachment C) that provides

explanatory information that will enable the NRC to ensure the completeness and

integrity of the submission. On the first page of the transmittal letter submitters should

include the following information:

* Organization or Individual Name/Address (Author)

* Docket Number (WM-0001 1)

* Subject Line (a non-sensitive brief, but descriptive narrative of the subject of the

submission)

* Any requests for withholding from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR

2.790, 2.1003, 2.1006.

On the last page of the transmittal letter, submitters should provide:

* the name, mailing and e-mail addresses, and phone number of a point of contact

that can resolve discrepancies in document submittals should they arise

* a complete listing of the document components (electronic files and/or physical

objects) that make up the submittal. The components should be listed in the

order in which they appear in the document, and if applicable, the total number

of OSM that are submitted by expedited delivery (e.g., same day courier,

overnight) (see Section 3.5)

* a list of parties served with the submission

3A submittal of a single file less than 50 MB does not require a transmittal letter.

8
Each of the listed components should indicate the following information:

* The filename (as defined in Section 3.5, including file extension)

* the size of the file

* Sensitivity level (e.g., publicly available, proprietary, classified, etc.)

* an indication of whether the component is being submitted via EIE and/or

submitted on OSM

* the associated LSN number (if applicable)

* a file that provides a non-sensitive description of all electronic components

characterized as "BLOBS" or other physical objects4.

The NRC will reject any submittal if there are any inconsistencies, including omission,

between the transmittal letter and the files or physical objects received. In such

instances, the NRC will inform the submitter of the rejection. In addition, if one or more

of the optical storage devices contain classified information (i.e., National Security

Information and Restricted Data); sensitive unclassified information; or non-public

documents, additional Sensitive Information requirements apply as described later in

Section 3.13.

3.5 Electronic File Naming Conventions

OSM identified in a transmittal letter submitted via EIE should meet the ISO 9660 format.

The Joliet Extension to ISO 9660 should be followed. The file naming conventions, for

consistency, are applicable to files transmitted via EIE as well as PDF files submitted on

OSM.

The Joliet Extension allows file names of up to 64 characters; however, documents

submitted via EIE are programmatically provided a unique sequential number assigned to

each of the files contained in the submission and a date of receipt for each file. This is a

15-character unique number. Documents submitted to the NRC should therefore have

filenames that are limited to 49 characters in length (including the ".", spaces, and the

three-character filename extension). This 49 character limit is subject to the following

criteria:

* The first three characters of the file name should always be used to identify the

sequence of the file in the organization of the document. For example, a document

may be comprised of 3 separate files. The name of the first file for the document

would start with "001," the name of the second file that comprises the document

4

Include any special instructions or Information necessary to view or use the information, such

as special instructions regarding the use of OSM, computer operating system or software requirements

for data files, computer models, etc. (See Attachment D.)

9
would start with "002" and so on for as many files as necessary to comprise the

document. For consistency, if a document is comprised of only one file, the file

name should still begin with "001."

The filenames should reflect, to the extent possible within the remaining characters,

the section number and title of the file/segment being submitted, per the following:

'section number' 'title'.pdf

(Where 'section number' reflects the lowest level of document

breakpoint and 'title" is a meaningful reference to the actual document

title.)

* The default three-character file extension associated with the format in which the

document was created needs to be retained (Example: for files created to conform

to PDF, ".pdf").

3.6 Security/Access Settings

Submissions should not contain any security settings, password protections, or any other

attributes that will exclude full NRC access to and use of the files. NRC's internal security

and archival processes will maintain the integrity of the materials that are submitted.

10
Encrypted documents are not acceptable for submittal to the NRC and will be rejected.

3.7 Resolution

To meet the expectations of the document users, and to comply with NARA Standards,-

PDF documents should be created using the following resolution guidelines:

* Bi-tonal (black and white) PDF resolution, not less than 300 dpi

* Color PDF resolution, not less than 300 dpi

* Grayscale PDF resolution, not less than 300 dpi

Also see Attachment A for additional guidance on Adobe Acrobat settings.

Adobe' Acrobat "downsampling" (an optimization option available in Adobe Acrobat) may

result in images with resolutions less than acceptable for submission to the NRC.

Therefore, its use is not recommended.

The 300 dpi minimum resolution also applies to non-PDF graphic-oriented electronic files

(e.g., TIFF images).

In special situations, the submitter may use flexibility with respect to the minimum

resolution. In these cases, the submitter should maintain the integrity of the scanned

image, the quality of the graphic presentation, and a readable representation of the original

work capable of being duplicated and/or reproduced.

3.8 Files with Special Printing Requirements

Documents that contain electronic files with special printing requirements, such as

requiring the use of a plotter or other special equipment to print, oversize drawings or

graphics that require a paper size larger than 11 inches by 17 inches, or other

enhancements such as 3D images, etc., may only be submitted electronically via OSM

as separate files. If special software components (e.g., printer drivers) are

necessary, include those components, their configuration parameters, and any

hardware configuration requirements on the same OSM.

3.9 File Linkages

Files containing objects (e.g., pictures, tables, spreadsheets, and images of text) using

link protocols such as Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), Dynamic Data Exchange

(DDE), or any other object linking between electronic files are not practicable for the

NRC to accept because the relationships among links in multiple file submissions are

lost when captured in ADAMS or other agency electronic recordkeeping systems.

However, links within a single electronic PDF file are acceptable, if those links are created

11
using PDF authoring software. Multiple linked PDF files may be combined into a single

PDF file using utilities often included in PDF authoring software.

3.10 Viruses

Files received by the NRC will be checked for viruses prior to acceptance. Macros in files

such as Microsoft' Excel are sometimes detected as viruses. Therefore, the use of

macros should be limited because a file identified as having a virus will be rejected and the

submitter notified of the rejection.

3.11 Copyrighted Information

Submitting information electronically to the NRC shall be deemed to constitute authority

for the NRC to place a copy of the information on its public document database and to

reproduce and distribute sufficient copies to carry out its official responsibilities. NRC use

of the information specified herein does not constitute authority for others to use the

information outside applicable requirements of copyright law.

3.12 Accessibility (Section 508)

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the accessibility standards set forth in

implementing regulations requires that Federal Agencies' electronic and information

technology is accessible to people with disabilities. Tools and plug-ins are now available

to allow PDF files to comply with Section 508, but care must be taken in developing

documents and converting them to PDF to ensure that the author has constructed the

documents and used the appropriate tools with accessibility in mind. The submitter should

consider accessibility issues during document authoring. The use of simple layouts,

consistent application of styles, accessible table formats, and the inclusion of alternate text

for images improves the ability of people with disabilities to use the information.

3.13 Sensitive or Classified Information

If a document contains information that is deemed sensitive unclassified, specifically

proprietary (e.g. trade secrets, privileged, company confidential or financial information),

personal privacy or other official use only information, it may be submitted via EIE. The

document must be clearly marked (e.g., watermark) and the transmittal letter must indicate

the sensitivity for each document.

If it is not practical to submit a large document containing sensitive unclassified information

via EIE (see Section 1.2, 3.3, 3.4), submit the document via OSM. Submissions made on

OSM must be accompanied by a transmittal letter (see section 3.4) that contains

12
information regarding the sensitivity level of the transmitted documents. This letter should

contain a listing of each file contained in the submission, with a description and the

sensitivity for each file clearly marked.

When submitting documents via OSM that contain both publicly and non-publicly available

files, all of the files should be included. In addition, separate OSM must be provided that

contains only the publicly available files. Each OSM must be clearly labeled indicating its

availability. Files contained on OSM labeled as "Publicly Available" will be released to the

public.

OSM containing classified information must be processed and produced on systems

approved under the provisions of 10 CFR 95.49. Each OSM must be clearly labeled as

containing classified information.

The mailing package containing OSM with documents comprised of Safeguards,

Proprietary, or Privacy Act Information must be processed, marked and transmitted in

accordance with the requirements set forth in 10 CFR 2.790(b), 73.21(e), 73.21(g), and

73.21(h), as appropriate. Documents containing Safeguards Information may not be

submitted via EIE.

OSM containing Classified Information (i.e., National Security Information or Restricted

Data), must be packaged and submitted to the NRC in accordance with the requirements

contained in 10 CFR 95.37, 95.39, and 95.41. Documents containing classified information

may not be submitted via EIE.

If sensitive unclassified or classified documents are appended to filings in the adjudicatory

proceeding, the submitter shall seek an appropriate order from the Presiding Officer

pursuant to 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart J, or follow the procedures for Classified Information

in 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart I.

3.14 Document Updates

Document component updates will not be accepted. If changes to the submitted document

are necessary, the entire document (including all of the electronic files and electronic

objects that comprise the document), and all OSM sets in their entirety should be resubmitted as that version will become a new document. The subsequent transmittal letter

should indicate the part(s) (e.g., chapter, section, or graphic) that has been changed as

well as the general scope of the change. The submittal guidelines given in Section 3.4 of

this guidance should once again be followed. The document should be identified as a new

version and file identification information submitted accordingly.

13
4.0 EIE SUBMISSIONS

Each individual that plans to transmit electronic documentary materials via EIE needs to

obtain a digital signature certificate (Digital Certificate) and software plug-ins

downloaded and installed on the user's computer. The NRC EIE web page (located on

the Internet at www.nrc.gov by choosing "Site Map" followed by "Electronic Information

Exchange") has detailed information about EIE.

* All EIE users will be assigned a Digital Certificate in order to use EIE. A Digital

Certificate is used to submit and digitally sign the form used to submit

documents and will be required in order to access the EIE external server to

retrieve documents, if appropriate. The EIE system requires the use of an NRCissued Digital Certificate.

* All EIE system users will need to download and install software plug-ins. The

specific plug-ins required are the Internet Form Viewer, which is a required plugin regardless of the browser used, a signaturing plug-in for Netscape users, and

a separate viewer plug-in for Microsoft® Internet Explorer users.

* Submission of documents via EIE in 50 MB segments is done using the NRC's

EIE form. The EIE form is a document based on Extensible Mark-up Language

(XML). It allows participants to sign, enclose, submit, and verify documents via

the Internet. The document to be submitted or transmitted must be presented as

an attachment to the form. Once the form is displayed, users will need to fill in

the fields on the form and attach the document(s) for submission to the NRC.

Once the fields have been filled in and the intended documents are attached, the

form must be digitally signed.

* NRC regulations require that some documents be filed under oath or affirmation.

There are currently two acceptable methods for providing this oath using the EIE

processes.

1. Documents requiring oath or affirmation may use EIE to digitally sign the

affirmation on the document. Using this process, the document must

conclude with a statement to this effect:

"I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and

correct. Executed on [date]".

The electronic document must be digitally signed by the person affirming

this statement. This person may then transmit the document directly to the

NRC using EIE or may forward the document to someone else for

transmission to the NRC. In the latter case, the transmitter must also sign

the document to authorize the electronic transmission.

14
Except as set forth below, multiple documents requiring individual digital

signatures by different persons cannot be sent in a single EIE

transmission. The current EIE process only allows two persons to digitally

sign a single transmission. Therefore, the NRC recommends that the

method described below in item 2 be used for submissions that require

multiple oath and affirmations.

Note: When digitally signing a document, the submitter is actually digitally

signing the EIE transmission form, not the document. Signing the form is

the equivalent of signing the document.

2. Oath or affirmation affidavits may also be created in hard copy and

physically signed. The original paper copy may then be scanned to create

a PDF Searchable Image (Exact) file of the original signature page. This

page, with the rest of the PDF file of the entire attachment, may then be

submitted via EIE.

Note: Although there are other methods available to electronically sign

documents using word processing and other software, these are not

currently acceptable for use in signing documents for submission to the

NRC because they do not provide the levels of authentication,

certification, and non-repudiation that are present in the EIE process.

Verification of Receipt - The NRC EIE form is the equivalent of signing a FEDEX

receipt for shipping the document and must be digitally signed. Any submission

sent via EIE that is successfully received will receive a date/time stamp and EIE will

return a "message received" confirmation. In the absence of this confirmation, it is

the submitter's responsibility to follow-up and verify that the submittal was in fact

received. The NRC will compare the files delivered to the list identified in the

transmittal letter to ensure that all files have been delivered. Where discrepancies

are found between the transmittal letter and the actual files:

If a period of 8 hours has elapsed between the beginning of the transmittal

of the first file of a given EIE submission and notification of receipt of the last

file of the same EIE submission, and the EIE system has not yet received all

files, the NRC will reject the submittal and notify the submitter. The NRC

does not anticipate that this time limit will address the transmittal of a single

EIE form and its attachments; rather, this time limit is intended to address the

transmittal of multiple EIE forms and their attachments in situations where

the size of the submission requires more than one EIE transmission to

accomplish delivery of all attachments that comprise the submission.

* In the event that the NRC identifies discrepancies between the transmittal

letter and the files actually received via EBE (e.g., a file is listed, but not

included; an unidentified file is sent; or the total number of attachments

stated does not equal the number actually received), the NRC will reject the

submission and notify the submitter.

15
* If the OSM received do not contain all of the files described in the transmittal

letter, the NRC will reject the submittal and notify the submitter. Similarly, if

the OSM do not arrive within the time specified in Section 5.0, the NRC will

reject the submittal and notify the submitter.

The processes and steps described above are specific to both Netscape

Navigator/Communicator 4.6 or higher and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.

The recommended workstation configuration requires a Pentium 900 MHZ processor

(or higher) with a minimum of 128 MB of RAM, adequate available disk space', a device

for creating and/or reading OSM, and access to the World Wide Web (Web) through an

Internet Service Provider (ISP). The operating system should be either Windows NT or

Windows 95 (or higher). Other browser types, such as AOL or Mosaic, are not currently

supported for use in the EIE system. 1

5 The requirement for disk space is dependent on the volume of material the participant intends

to submit and/or retrieve. To calculate required disk space, multiply the size of the submittal or retrieval

by 2, for example, a 33 MB file will require 66MB of available disk space.

16
5.0 OPTICAL STORAGE MEDIA SUBMISSIONS

OSM should be used in the following circumstances:

* The documentary material cannot be transmitted via EIE (e.g., file size, graphicoriented electronic objects)

* The EIE submittal exceeds 50 MB and is comprised of multiple segmented files

* A document segment cannot be submitted via EIE although the remaining

document portions could be transmitted via EIE

* The document contains sensitive unclassified information (i.e., Safeguards

information) or classified information (i.e., National Security information and

Restricted Data).

In addition:

* The transmittal letter should be included on the OSM (see Section 3.4 for transmittal

letter guidelines)

* NRC regulations require that some documents be filed under oath or affirmation.

If such a document is submitted on OSM, either the transmittal letter or the first

page of the document contained on the OSM must contain the oath and the

signature of the person swearing to the accuracy of the information submitted.

Specifically, the letter must include the following statement with the signature of the

person affirming it:

"I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and

correct. Executed on [date]".

If the oath or Affirmation is submitted on the transmittal letter, it must contain

the original signature of the person swearing to the accuracy of the

information. If submitted as part of the document contained on the OSM, the

page containing the signature must be provided as a scanned PDF

Searchable Image (Exact) file along with the PDF version of the entire

document being submitted.

* Include the entire submission (i.e., all files submitted separately through EIE and

those submitted only on OSM). Place files submitted through EIE on OSM that is

separate from the files submitted only on OSM.

Software used to produce OSM should be configured to ensure that the OSM is "read only"

prior to its delivery to NRC.

All OSM content should be readable either by commercially available software, or by

providing, where appropriate, executable programs that are located on the OSM.

The OSM should be labeled with the Transfer Media Configuration (e.g., drive transfer rate)

17
as well as any numbering, exterior marking, or labeling that should reference the submittal

provided through EIE. If appropriate, the version number may also be included.

As stated in Sections 3.3 and 3.5, the acceptable OSM format must be compliant with ISO9660, using the Joliet Extension.

Submitters should transmit OSM, along with a hard copy of the transmittal letter, by

expedited delivery service. Given the paramount importance of submittal and

document integrity and fidelity, expedited delivery of the OSM is essential to ensure

proper coordination of the companion submittals transmitted via EIE and on OSM. In

addition, to ensure that all intended information has been received, the NRC will not

deem a submittal complete, In-hand," or ready for further processing and staff review

until the agency has received the last document/segment.

Subsequent to the anthrax mailings in late September 2001, incoming mail addressed

to the Federal government is irradiated prior to delivery. Irradiation of electronic

information media may result in damage to the media and its contents. Therefore,

packages containing OSM submission should be clearly marked "CONTENTS

CONTAIN OPTICAL STORAGE MEDIA DO NOT IRRADIATE."

The following address is to be used for delivering OSM to the NRC:

ATTACHMENT B - GLOSSARY

Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

ADAMS is the NRC's primary records management system that contains the bibliographic

header (metadata) about a record, searchable text, and an image of a record (either in

PDF or TIFF formats). Two access methods for the public are offered today:

* through the Citrix server (which provides client/server-type access to

ADAMS)

* a Web browser based interface to publicly available records.

Bibliographic Header

A structured description of a document, file, or object.

Binary Large Object File (BLOB)

A large file, typically an image or sound file, that must be handled (for example, uploaded,

downloaded, or stored in a database) in a special way because of its size.

Courtesy Copy

A non-required copy of a document provided as a useful reference copy of an official

document.

Document

A document is any written printed, recorded, magnetic, graphic matter, or other

documentary material, regardless of form or characteristic.

Documentary Material

Documentary material means any information upon which a party, potential party, or

interested governmental participant intends to rely and/or to cite in support of its position

in the proceeding.

Electronic Information Exchange (E E)

Electronic Information Exchange is the electronic transfer mechanism established by the

NRC for electronic transmission of documents to the agency via the Internet, where the

documents are transmitted in a verifiable and certifiable mode that includes digital

signatures. EIE is a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system using RSA Labs' 128-bit

encryption, Verisign's Public Key Certificate Services (PKCS), and PureEdge's Extensible

Forms Definition Language (XFDL) webform.

High-Level Waste Electronic Hearing Docket (HLW-EHD)

The High-Level Waste Electronic Hearing Docket is the NRC information system that

receives, distributes, and stores the Commission's adjudicatory docket materials in the

proceeding on the application of the Department of Energy (DOE) for license to receive

and possess high-level radioactive waste at a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. The

High-Level Waste Electronic Hearing Docket was established pursuant to the requirements

B1
of 10 CFR §2.1013, to contain the official record materials of the HLW proceeding in

searchable full text, and for material that is not suitable for entry in searchable full test, by

header and image, as appropriate.

File Format

A file format is the layout of a file in terms of how the data within the file is organized. A

program that uses the data in a file must be able to recognize and access data within the

file. A particular file format is often indicated as part of a file's name by a file name

extension (suffix). Conventionally, the extension is separated by a period from the name

and contains three or four letters that identify the format. Examples are: 1) word

processing (.doc for MS® Word, .wpd for Corel® WordPerfect), 2) spreadsheet (.xIs for

MS® Excel, .wb3 for Corel® Quattro Pro), 3) "generic" (.pdf for Adobe Systems' (

Acrobat).

Length of Path (ISO 9660. Joliet Extension))

The Joliet Extension to ISO 9660 allows filenames of 64 characters in length and is the

least restrictive interchangeable format. However, the ISO 9660 standard imposes a limit

on length of path to each file that cannot exceed 255 characters. Length of path is the sum

of the lengths of all relevant directories, the length of the file name and extension, and the

number of relevant directories.

Licensing Support Network (LSN)

The Licensing Support Network (LSN) is a web portal that provides access to multiple

document collections pertaining to the high-level waste repository. It uses "web-crawler"

technology to index those various collections. It provides web-based access to the

document collection structured information (bibliographic) and unstructured information

(content files, image files).

Macro

A macro (for "large"; the opposite of "micro") is any programming or user interface that,

when used, expands into something larger. A macro definition defines how to expand a

single language statement or computer instruction into a number of instructions. The macro

statement contains the name of the macro definition and usually some variable parameter

information. Macros were (and are) useful especially when a sequence of instructions is

used a number of times. For example, In Microsoft Word and other programs, a macro is

a saved sequence of commands or keyboard strokes that can be stored and then recalled

with a single command or keyboard stroke.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a

computer. This involves the photo scanning of the text character-by-character, the analysis

of the scanned-in image, and then translation of the character image into character codes,

such as ASCII. The scanned-in image is analyzed for light and dark areas in order to

identify each alphabetic letter or numeric digit. When a character is recognized, it is

converted into an ASCII code. OCR can be accomplished either through software alone,

B2
or through a combination of specialized hardware and software.

Portable Document Format (PDF)

This is Adobe® Systems, Incorporated's Acrobat document publishing software package

output format. Current release is Acrobat 5.0.5. The PDF standard, though it is proprietary

to Adobe, has been published, is freely available, and the capability to create PDF

documents has been integrated into many other software applications. PDF documents

can be generated from any application that can generate Postscript printer files (a popular

printing language standard); thus anything that can be printed can be represented in PDF.

When files are converted from standard applications to PDF, the information and

pagination are "locked down" for the general user, who can access the content through the

use of PDF viewer software. The following are definitions of the various types of PDFs:

Formatted Text & Graphics

Formerly known as "PDF Normal". This type of PDF is a popular output file

format created when materials have been produced on a word processing

or publishing system. It contains the full text of the page with appropriate

coding to define fonts, sizes, etc. The files are relatively small; screen display

and printed version are comparable in readability of content.

* Searchable Image

Formerly known as "PDF Original Image with Hidden Text." When a

document is created in this type of PDF, the resultant file consists of two

layers: a bit-mapped layer and a hidden text layer. The bitmapped layer

maintains the visual representation of the original document. The text layer

is created through optical character recognition software (OCR). There are

two "flavors" of this type of PDF:

* Searchable Image (Exact)

Formally known as 'PDF Image + Hidden Text.' This creates the

largest file size, but is the more accurate of the two "flavors"1. When

the plug-in is launched, a layer of text is placed behind the image,

making the page appear exactly as it did when scanned, but now it is

searchable. Thus, the Searchable Image (Exact) preserves the look

of the original scanned image, making it an ideal format for meeting

legal requirements.

* Searchable Image (Compact)

This captures the same image as searchable image (exact),

producing smaller files sizes than the Exact method. The general look

and feel of the image is retained and it becomes searchable. The

quality is not quite as good as the Exact method, as the compression

routines used are "lossy" techniques. Because of the lossy

techniques used here, the NRC will not accept any documents

created in this format. This decision is consistent with guidance from

NARA.

B3
* Image Only

This type of PDF is essentially a scanned image of the page in a PDF

wrapper and contains no searchable text. There is no ability for text

searching. The image quality is dependent on the quality of the source

materials and the quality of the scanning operation.

Segment

A segment is subpart, or subunit, of a document usually created at a logical division such

as a chapter, section, or subsection of a large document.

Submittal

An information package delivered to the NRC for a specific purpose and may consist of

one or more documents

Taraet File

A file required by most electronic document management systems to store and retrieve

bibliographic header information.
