may be presented by members of the public, electronic recordings will 
be permitted only during the open portions of the meetings, and 
questions may be asked only by members of the Committee, its 
consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral statements should 
notify the ACRS Executive Director, Dr. John T. Larkins, at least five 
days before the meeting if possible, so that appropriate arrangements 
can be made to allow the necessary time during the meeting for such 
statements. Use of still, motion picture, and television cameras during 
this meeting may be limited to selected portions of the meeting as 
determined by the Chairman. Information regarding the time to be set 
aside for this purpose may be obtained by contacting the ACRS Executive 
Director prior to the meeting. In view of the possibility that the 
schedule for ACRS meetings may be adjusted by the Chairman as necessary 
to facilitate the conduct of the meeting, persons planning to attend 
should check with the ACRS Executive Director if such rescheduling 
would result in major inconvenience.
    In accordance with Subsection 10(d) Pub. L. 92-463, I have 
determined that it is necessary to close portions of this meeting noted 
above to discuss information that involves the internal personnel rules 
and practices of this Advisory Committee per 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2); to 
discuss information the release of which would constitute a clearly 
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy per 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6); and 
to discuss General Electric Nuclear Energy proprietary information per 
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4).
    Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the 
meeting has been canceled or rescheduled, the Chairman's ruling on 
requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the time 
allotted therefor can be obtained by contacting the ACRS Executive 
Director, Dr. John T. Larkins (telephone 301-415-7361), between 7:30
