[Maury Siskel]

Some radsafers might wish to comment about this issue to the DOE. The 
link below is merely how I happened across this proposed federal rule 
making. Certainly other sources are available. The link affords access 
to the complete document -- especially to see instructions for 
commenting about the proposal if you are interested in it..
Best,

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
10 CFR Part 1017
RIN 1992-AA35

Identification and Protection of Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information

AGENCY: Office of Health, Safety and Security, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and public hearing.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend regulations 
that prohibit the unauthorized dissemination of certain unclassified but 
sensitive information identified as Unclassified Controlled Nuclear 
Information (UCNI). DOE is amending these regulations to clarify the 
types of information that may be identified as UCNI to prevent 
overly-broad application of UCNI controls and to streamline the UCNI 
program by simplifying the process for identifying information as UCNI.

DATES: Written comments (7 copies) may be submitted on or before 
November 13, 2007. A public hearing will be held in Washington, DC, on 
October 29, 2007. Requests to speak at the hearing must be received by 
October 22, 2007.
