    Note: A portion of this meeting may be closed pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 552b ( c) (2) and (6) to discuss organizational and personnel 
matters that relate solely to internal personnel rules and practices 
of ACNW, and information the release of which would constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.


    Procedures for the conduct of and participation in ACNW meetings 
were published in the Federal Register on October 11, 2005 (70 FR 
59081). In accordance with these procedures, oral or written statements 
may be presented by members of the public. Electronic recordings will 
be permitted only during those portions of the meeting that are open to 
the public. Persons desiring to make oral statements should notify Mr. 
Michael R. Snodderly (Telephone 301-415-6927), between 8:15 a.m. and 5 
p.m. ET, as far in advance as practicable so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made to schedule the necessary time during the 
meeting for such statements. Use of still, motion picture, and 
television cameras during this meeting will be limited to selected 
portions of the meeting as determined by the ACNW Chairman. Information 
regarding the time to be set aside for taking pictures may be obtained 
by contacting the ACNW office prior to the meeting. In view of the 
possibility that the schedule for ACNW meetings may be adjusted by the 
Chairman as necessary to facilitate the conduct of the meeting, persons 
planning to attend should notify Mr. Snodderly as to their particular 
needs.
    In accordance with Subsection 10(d) Public Law 92-463, I have 
determined that it is necessary to close portions of this meeting noted 
above to discuss organizational and personnel matters that relate 
solely to internal personnel rules and practices of ACNW, and 
information the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted 
invasion of personal privacy.
    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, therefore can be obtained by contacting Mr. Snodderly.

available through the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) at [email protected], or
