1 As of September 2006, NRC is planning to reorganize the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) and the Office of State and Tribal Programs (STP), to create two new offices: the Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs (FSME), which will focus on materials programs; and the new NMSS, which will focus on fuel cycle programs. This reorganization is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2006. This document contains references to NMSS and STP. These references will be updated in future revisions of this document.
