Procedures for the conduct of and participation in ACRS meetings

58268-58269). In accordance with those procedures, oral or written
views may be presented by members of the public, including
representatives of the nuclear industry. Electronic recordings will be
permitted only during the open portions of the meeting. Persons
desiring to make oral statements should notify the Cognizant ACRS staff
named below five days before the meeting, if possible, so that
appropriate arrangements can be made to allow necessary time during the
meeting for such statements. Use of still, motion picture, and
television cameras during the 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 Cognizant ACRS staff 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 Cognizant ACRS staff
if such rescheduling would result in major inconvenience.
In accordance with Subsection 10(d) Public Law 92-463, I have
determined that it may be necessary to close portions of this meeting
noted above to discuss organizational and personnel matters that relate
solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of the ACRS, and
information the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6).
In addition, it may be necessary to close a portion of the meeting to
protect information designated as proprietary by Duke Energy or its
contractors pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4).
