NRC Completes Restoration of Additional Documents to Public Access via its On-Line Library
“The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Friday completed the restoration of public access to an additional 70,000 documents through its on-line library, ADAMS, after conducting a security-sensitivity review. Members of the public are now able to access these documents, involving administrative, contractual, research, and other documents not related to a specific licensee, which were removed from the public library on Oct. 25 of last year. The documents may be viewed and retrieved through the NRC’s Web-based ADAMS at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html or by using CITRIX software at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/citrix-based.html. Using CITRIX allows earlier access, by perhaps a day, but requires downloading the appropriate software.”

FTC Issues Report on Peer-to-Peer File Sharing
“Peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing technology offers significant benefits but also poses risks to consumers who use it, according to a Federal Trade Commission staff report issued today. The staff report, ‘Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Technology: Consumer Protection and Competition Issues,’ analyzes the consumer protection, competition, and intellectual property issues that were discussed at the FTC’s December 2004 workshop on P2P file sharing. The report recommends that industry and government take steps so that consumers receive the many benefits from this technology while avoiding the risks that it creates.”
