Narrative:
Second 10 was extremely busy. I was the rio controller. Aircraft Y was a lear jet. When aircraft X; ACRJ200; reported leaving FL310; I assigned that altitude to aircraft Y (non-rvsm). The CRJ200 leveled at FL320 and aircraft Y leveled at FL310. Having not experienced a non-rvsm aircraft in over two years; I forgot the altitude at which 2000 ft is required.

Title: A RADAR CTLR RPTS CLRING A NON-RVSM ACFT TO A FLT LEVEL THAT ALLOWED IT TO PASS WITHIN 1000 FT OF ANOTHER ACFT IN RVSM AIRSPACE.
Narrative: SEC 10 WAS EXTREMELY BUSY. I WAS THE RIO CTLR. ACFT Y WAS A LEAR JET. WHEN ACFT X; ACRJ200; RPTED LEAVING FL310; I ASSIGNED THAT ALT TO ACFT Y (NON-RVSM). THE CRJ200 LEVELED AT FL320 AND ACFT Y LEVELED AT FL310. HAVING NOT EXPERIENCED A NON-RVSM ACFT IN OVER TWO YEARS; I FORGOT THE ALT AT WHICH 2000 FT IS REQUIRED.
