be presented by members of the public, including representatives of the
nuclear industry. Electronic recordings will be permitted only during

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
