REQUIREMENTS -'SECY-99-070 - IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVE (DSI-14) 4 I
The Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM), SECY-99-070, directs the staff to continue to
" provide paper copies (of publicly available documents] to the Public Document Room (PDR) i until six months after we have demonstrated the ef'setiveness of ADAMS at the point of public interface for access to agency documents."
We have now had the opportunity to determine the cost of implementing the subject SRM and to further analyze risk. We are proposing an altemative approach to the Cnmmission, which we believe will satisfy the Commission's concems with regard to the public's transition to ADAMS in a more cost effective and risk adverse way.
Transitionina the Public to ADAMS Current plans have been to discontinue our current processing systems (NUDOCS, BRS) on October 1 and transition to ADAMS. To provide a trial period for public use of ADAMS, we plan l
to continue operations of our current systems through the end of October. With this approach, we will enter a sample of new documents in electronic form (both the full text and the image) on the ADAMS public Web site and provide the public with access to the index of these and many of the legacy documents. At the same time, we will continue with the current document-processing approach using NUDOCS, the PDR's Bibliographic Retrieval System (BRS), paper to the PDR, and microfiche to the PDR and LPDRs.
)
O Why Not Extend the Use of the Current Environment Beyond October?
4 After October 29, ADAMS will replace our current systems as the index, search, and retrieval
(} g~ /
system for NRC's public documents.

COMMISSIONER DIAZ'S COMMENTS ON COMSECY-99-031 -- ADDITIONAL
{
INFORMATION CONCERNING STAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-99-070 -
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVE (DSI-14) l disapprove the proposal presented in this COMSECY.
I i
To provide maximum assurance of public access to our documents during the transition to ADAMS, and to afford more of our interested public stakeholders a longer opportunity to acclimate to the ADAMS environment, the staff should continue sending paper copies of publicly available documents to the PDR until April,2000. OCIO should reprogram the required funding from within its budget.
