PART I.D -- COMMENTS
The FOIA office received your FOIA request on August 21, 2024, and tasked the Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) to locate any responsive records and provide OCIO's disclosure recommendations. Based upon the definition of "legacy systems" set forth below, OCIO staff informed us that there are no legacy systems in operation at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC); accordingly, there are no responsive records.
The NRCs definition of legacy systems, in alignment with (1) OMBs 2016 draft guidance, (2) the Modernizing Government Technology Act and (3) GAO documentation, characterizes legacy systems as those that require operations and maintenance funds to sustain delivery of their capabilities and implements outdated or obsolete technologies.
