DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD


Sunshine Act Meetings

TIME AND DATE: Session 1: 10:00 a.m.-11:20 a.m., Session 2: 11:30 a.m.-
1:30 p.m., November 28, 2018.

PLACE: 625 Indiana Avenue NW, Room 352, Washington, DC 20004.

STATUS: Open. While the Government in the Sunshine Act does not require 
that the scheduled hearing be conducted in a meeting, the Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board has determined that an open meeting and 
hearing furthers the public interests underlying both the Government in 
the Sunshine Act and the Board's enabling legislation.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: Pursuant to the provisions of the 
``Government in the Sunshine Act'' (5 U.S.C. 552b), and as authorized 
by 42 U.S.C. 2286b, notice is hereby given of the Board's public 
hearing on August 28, 2018. The goals for the hearing are (1) to gather 
information on DNFSB interface and access to information, facilities, 
and personnel managed by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of 
Environmental Management; and (2) receive input from the public 
regarding the role of independent oversight and interfaces between 
DNFSB and DOE.
    In session 1, the Board will hear from the Assistant Secretary for 
the Office of Environmental Management. The objectives for this session 
are to (1) discuss implementation of DOE Order 140.1 by the Office of 
Environmental Management and (2) discuss changes in DNFSB access to 
information, facilities, and personnel, and interfaces as a result of 
DOE Order 140.1. In session 2, the Board will hear comments from 
members of the public regarding the role of independent oversight and 
interfaces between DNFSB and DOE.
    The agenda for the hearing is posted on the Board's website 
(www.dnfsb.gov). Public participation in the hearing is invited during 
the public comment period of the agenda. Persons interested in speaking 
during the public comment period are encouraged to pre-register by 
submitting a request in writing to the Board's address listed above, 
emailing [email protected], or calling the Office of the General 
Counsel at (202) 694-7000 or (800) 788-4016 prior to close of business 
on November 26, 2018. The Board asks that commenters describe the 
nature and scope of their oral presentations. Those who pre-register 
will be scheduled to speak first. Individual oral comments may be 
limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who 
register. At the beginning of the hearing, the Board will post a list 
of speakers at the entrance to the hearing room. Anyone who wishes to 
comment or provide technical information or data may do so in writing, 
either in lieu of, or in addition to, making an oral presentation. The 
Board Members may
