SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This workshop is one of a series of 
interactions with the Agreement States, licensees, and the public to 
gather suggestions and ideas to ensure the success in developing a 
Regulatory Guide on ``Demonstrating Compliance With the Radiological 
Criteria for License Termination.'' The workshop will begin with a 
brief introduction on some of the more important questions that were 
considered in developing the Regulatory Guide working paper on 
``License Termination under Restricted Conditions.'' After the 
introduction, the Working Paper will be reviewed section-by-section. 
Attendees will be asked for questions and comments on each section. The 
NRC will ask questions on the approach that it has developed. Written 
comments that have been received from the public will be discussed.
    Participants at the two regional locations will be able to ask 
questions and provide comments through a moderator both during the 
periods that the workshop is available through video-conferencing and 
through audio connection.
    There is no visitor parking at Region II in the Atlanta Federal 
Center (AFC) building. There are several hourly parking lots located 
near the AFC (behind the AFC tower and on the corner of Forsyth Street 
and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive). The AFC is located near the Five 
Point Station on the MARTA train line. There are two locations for 
visitor parking at Region III. A visitor parking lot is located on the 
north end of the building (between the office building and Warrenville 
Road), and a parking garage is located on the west side of the building 
(visitors can park on the street level or upper level). Seating for the 
public at each location will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
    A transcript of this workshop will be available for inspection, and 
copying for a fee at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW., 
Lower Level, Washington, DC 20555, on or about October 31, 1997.
