Telephone: (301) 415-6724. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The License Application Review Plan (LARP) provides guidance to the NRC staff who will review the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) license application to construct a mined geologic repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The LARP is intended to ensure the quality and uniformity of the staff reviews and establishes the appropriate review priorities, and presents a well-defined base from which to evaluate proposed changes in the scope and requirements of the staff reviews. Because it is a public document, it will also make available to DOE and other interested parties information on the staff's review process so that they may better understand the review strategies, procedures, and acceptance criteria that the staff will use. The LARP, Revision 0 was issued in September, 1994. Revision 0 represented the staff's initial efforts in developing the LARP and was comprised of both completed and outlined individual review plans. The LARP was and continues to be, however, a work in progress. This draft version, designated Revision 1, represents the staff's latest efforts in the development of the LARP and includes 12 newly completed review plans. Appendix D provides a status of the development of the individual review plans. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of January 1996. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Joseph J. Holonich, Chief, High-Level Waste and Uranium Recovery Projects Branch, Division of Waste Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguard.
