The primary purpose of the report is to identify all dams that could, in any way, be considered "NRC dams" in the context of the Guidelines of the Federal Dam Safety Program (Reference 1). A secondary purpose is to identify the dams for which the Federal Guidelines may be applicable and for which the NRC might be considered "responsible".
