NRC ADMINISTRATIVE LETTER 94-13, REVISION 1: ACCESS TO NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION BULLETIN BOARD
SYSTEMS
Addressees
All NRC licensees.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this administrative
letter (AL) revision to give addressees updated information concerning the
availability of NRC bulletin board systems (BBSs). This AL does not transmit
or imply any new or changed requirements or staff positions. No specific
action or written response is required.
Background
The NRC issued AL 94-13, "Access to Nuclear Regulatory Commission Bulletin
Board Systems," on September 13, 1994, to inform addressees of the
availability of NRC BBSs containing the Standard Technical Specifications, NRC
generic communications, and files on several other subjects. Because of
continuing efforts to make information more readily available to the public,
NRC made a number of improvements and additions to NRC BBSs in the intervening
months.
Discussion
The NRC operates several subsystems on the Federal Government Fedworld BBS,
operated by the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The names of
the NRC subsystems on Fedworld, the information they contain, and their
associated NRC contacts are presented in Attachment 1. The NRC also operates
some stand-alone systems (i.e., not on, but accessible from, Fedworld). The
names of these systems, the information they contain, and their associated NRC
contacts are shown in Attachment 2. Information on accessing the various
systems is given in Attachment 3. Except for the Bibliographic Retrieval
System, new users for each system establish their own password when they first
log on to the system. Information on how to obtain a password for the
Bibliographic Retrieval System is given in Attachment 3.
Users who access any of these systems through a modem should set their
communications parameters as follows:
bits/character - 8
parity - N
number of stop bits - 1
full duplex

Users should know (1) the protocol their telecommunications software will use
for downloading files and (2) the command(s) necessary to initiate a file
transfer using their software.
Although every effort is made to ensure that the information on each BBS is
accurate, documents obtained from the BBSs are not considered official
documents. Every user explicitly acknowledges that all information obtained
from the BBSs is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and that the entire risk
of acting on information obtained from the BBSs, including the entire cost of
all necessary remedies, is with those who choose to act on such information
and not with the operators of the BBSs.
This administrative letter requires no specific action or written response.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact one of the
contacts listed below or the appropriate Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
(NRR) project manager.
