# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public meeting on the NRC's inspection and enforcement program for licensed activities conducted in offshore Federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. The meeting is intended to discuss current issues facing industrial radiography and well logging licensees as they implement the requirements of 10 CFR parts 34, 39, and 150 in offshore Federal waters. The meeting is designed to inform, listen to, and learn from the meeting's attendees, including an exchange of information regarding the operational implications and unique conditions associated with the use of radiographic exposure devices on platforms and laybarges. The meeting will be facilitated by Francis X. Cameron, Special Counsel for Public Liaison, of the NRC Office of General Counsel. 

                    To accomplish this goal, the NRC staff will make brief presentations on NRC's inspection and enforcement program, the Letter of Agreement between NRC and the Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the Department of the Interior, and the lessons learned during the initial implementation of NRC's inspection activities in the Gulf of Mexico. Presentations will be followed by a facilitated question and answer session to provide a forum for discussion of current issues and challenges facing NRC and Agreement State licensees performing licensed activities on oil/gas platforms and marine laybarges operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Attendees are expected to include individuals representing the industrial radiography and well logging industry, Federal and State regulatory organizations, platform and laybarge owners and operators, and interested members of the public.
