    Notice is hereby given that by petition dated June 1, 2000, Doug 
Rokke, Ph.D. (petitioner) has requested that the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) take action with regard to the Department of the Air 
Force, the Department of the Army, and the Department of the Navy. The

Defense and all services, implementation of substantial fines and 
consideration of personal criminal liability.''
    As the basis for this request, the petitioner states that ``the 
continuing deliberate use of DU munitions during battle and during 
peacetime is resulting in serious health and environmental 
consequences,'' according to documents and references in his 
possession.
    The request is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the 
Commission's regulations. The request has been referred to the Director 
of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. As provided by 
Section 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on this petition within 
reasonable time. A copy of the petition is available for inspection at 
the Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20003-1527.
