SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

A. General Information

    The NRC performs periodic reviews of generic communications and 
withdraws them when they no longer provide useful information or are 
superseded by technological innovations or updated guidance. A 
withdrawal includes the original generic communication and any 
supplements or revisions. The NRC is currently publishing withdrawals 
of generic communications on a quarterly basis.
    Withdrawal of the original generic communication and supplements, 
if applicable, will not affect the public's ability to obtain this 
information. The original generic communication and supplements will 
remain accessible through ADAMS and the NRC's generic communications 
Web site. The NRC's generic communication Web site will be updated to 
reflect the generic communications status as withdrawn. The generic 
communications Web site is accessible at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/.

B. Withdrawals of Generic Communications

    The following generic communications are withdrawn:
     Administrative Letter (AL) 1996-03, ``Centralization of 
Quality Assurance Program Review Responsibility in the Office of 
Nuclear Reactor Regulation,'' September 27, 1996 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML031110120).
    This AL discusses the transition of responsibilities for the review 
of quality assurance program (QAP) changes from the region to 
headquarters. These administrative changes do not impact the process 
for licensee submittals, since licensees are required to submit QAP 
changes via section 50.54(a) of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4.
     Generic Letter 1994-04, ``Voluntary Reporting of 
Additional Occupational Radiation Exposure Data,'' September 2, 1994 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML031200443).
    Updated requirements for data submission are contained in 10 CFR 
20.1007, ``Communications.''
     Information Notice (IN) 1993-03, ``Recent Revisions to 10 
CFR part 20 and Change of Implementation Date to January 1, 1994,'' 
January 5, 1993 (ADAMS Accession No. ML031080060).
    The implementation date of January 1, 1994 for compliance with 10 
CFR part 20 has passed.
     IN 1993-80, ``Implementation of the Revised 10 CFR 20,'' 
October 8, 1993 (ADAMS Accession No. ML031070060).
    The deadline of January 1, 1994 to be in compliance with 10 CFR 
part 20 has passed.
     Regulatory Information Summary 2014-03, ``Notice of 10 CFR 
Part 37 Implementation Deadline for NRC Licensees,'' March 13, 2014 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14052A157).
    The deadline of March 19, 2014 to be in compliance with 10 CFR part 
37 has passed.
