Predecisional Information Sample Clauses

Predecisional Information. 1. All rulemaking information should be considered predecisional unless otherwise specified. Some working groups may be provided with predecisional information that is exempt from public disclosure. Any working group meetings involving discussion or consideration of predecisional information (information that NRC would not normally discuss in public meetings) would not be open to the public, nor would draft products containing predecisional information be made available to the public through the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (XXXXX) or another distribution mechanism. The lead organization, along with the working group chair(s), should decide when meetings and products will be made available to the public. 2. If OAS is the lead organization, DILR may be asked to aid the working groups in making these decisions. For further guidance, see MD 3.5 and “Enhancing Public Participation in the NRC Meetings; Policy Statement,” 67 FR 36920.

Predecisional Information. All rulemaking information should be considered predecisional unless otherwise specified. SA-800, “Providing NRC Predecisional Documents to Agreement States, Organization of Agreement States, Inc., and Appropriate Working Groups of the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc.,” states that the current practice is to provide predecisional programmatic documents, such as drafts of rulemaking plans; regulatory bases; and proposed, final, and DFRs, to all Agreement States. However, some predecisional documents also contain sensitive unclassified nonsafeguards information (SUNSI). The NRC provides predecisional documents that contain SUNSI to Agreement States on a “need-to-know” basis only and in accordance with MD 3.4, “Release of Information to the Public.” The staff will provide a SUNSI document only after determining that the Agreement States can protect the document from public disclosure under State law, as specified in SA-800.
