report to Congress on the NRC Safety Research Program, effectiveness of 
Committee process in dealing with its activities, rebaselining of 
Committee activities for FY 1997, and other activities related to the 
conduct of ACRS business. The purpose of this meeting is to gather 
information, analyze relevant issues and facts, and to formulate 
proposed positions and actions, as appropriate, for deliberation by the 
full Committee.
    Oral statements may be presented by members of the public with the 
concurrence of the Subcommittee Chairman; written statements will be 
accepted and made available to the Committee. Electronic recordings 
will be permitted only during those portions of the meeting that are 
open to the public, and questions may be asked only by members of the 
Subcommittee, its consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral 
statements should notify the cognizant ACRS staff engineer named below 
five days prior to the meeting, if possible, so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made.
    Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the 
meeting has been cancelled or rescheduled, the scheduling of sessions 
which are open to the public, the Chairman's ruling on requests for the 
opportunity to present oral statements and the time allotted therefor
