    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). 
ACRS meeting agenda, meeting transcripts, and letter reports are 
available through the NRC Public Document Room at [email protected], 
or by calling the PDR at 1-800-397-4209, or from the Publicly Available
