Procedures for the conduct of and participation in ACRS meetings
were published in the Federal Register on October 6, 2008, (73 FR
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. Thirty-five hard copies of
each presentation or handout should be provided to the Designated
Federal Official 30 minutes before the meeting. In addition, one
electronic copy of each presentation should be emailed to the
Designated Federal Official one day before meeting. If an electronic
copy cannot be provided within this timeframe, presenters should
provide the Designated Federal Official with a CD containing each
presentation at least 30 minutes before the meeting. 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 a portion of this meeting
noted above to discuss organizational and personnel matters that relate
solely to internal personnel rules and practices of ACRS, and
information the release of which constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6).
Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the
meeting has been canceled or rescheduled, as well as the Chairman's
ruling on requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and
the time allotted therefor can be obtained by contacting Girija Shukla,
Cognizant ACRS staff (301-415-6855), between 7:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. (ET).
