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.
