Commission's regulations, see 10 CFR sections 2.104, 2.202, 2.300,

In the Matter of Dhiraj Soni; (Enforcement Action)

    This proceeding concerns a request for a hearing submitted on March 
13, 2009 by the law firm of Akerman Senterfitt on behalf of Mr. Dhiraj 
Soni in response to a February 10, 2009 ``NRC Staff Order Prohibiting 
Involvement in NRC-Licensed Activities, 74 FR 7930 (Feb. 20, 2009). 
Under the terms of that Order, the Staff concluded that Mr. Dhiraj 
Soni, the former Vice President of Eastern Testing and Inspection, Inc. 
(ETI), engaged in deliberate misconduct that caused ETI to be in 
violation of 10 CFR 30.9 and, accordingly, that Mr. Dhiraj Soni 
violated 10 CFR 30.10. The Order therefore prohibits Mr. Dhiraj Soni 
from any involvement in NRC-licensed activities for a period of one 
year from the effective date of the Order.
    The Board is comprised of the following administrative judges:

Ann Marshall Young, Chair, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Paul B. Abramson, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555-0001.

    All correspondence, documents, and other materials shall be filed 
in accordance with the NRC e-filing rule, which the NRC promulgated in 
August 2007. See 72 FR 49,139 (Aug. 28, 2007).

     Issued at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of March 2009.
