 NRC SCORES NEAR TOP OFGOVERNMENT-WIDE HUMAN CAPITAL SURVEY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission ranks No. 1 in two out of four major categories in theOffice of Personnel Management’s 2006 Federal Human Capital Survey. The agency ranks No. 2 andNo. 4 in the other two categories, and exceeded or closely tracked the government-wide average onevery item in the survey.

“The NRC is very fortunate to have dedicated staff who feel so strongly about everything we doon behalf of the American public,” said NRC Chairman Dale Klein. “This is the second time we’vedone well on OPM’s survey recently, and it shows we’re on the right track to make sure we have thepeople and knowledge necessary to continue protecting the public and the environment.”

Out of 36 agencies represented in the survey, the NRC is tops in two indices, TalentManagement and Leadership & Knowledge Management. The agency is second in the Job SatisfactionIndex and fourth in the Results-Oriented Performance Culture Index.

NRC employees responded particularly strongly in a number of areas, including:– 92 percent feel their fellow workers cooperate to get the job done;– 91 percent know how their work relates to the NRC’s goals and priorities; and– 90 percent favorably rate the overall quality of their work group’s products.

On 63 of the survey’s 84 questions, NRC employees’ responses were five percentage points ormore above the government-wide average. For example, 79 percent of NRC employees favorably ratethe agency’s alternative work schedule policies, 30 percentage points above the average. Sixty-fourpercent of NRC employees also feel the agency is able to recruit people with the right skills for the job,20 percentage points above the average. For the survey’s remaining 21 questions, NRC responses wereno more than 4 points below the average.

In the Partnership for Public Service’s “2005 Best Places to Work” rankings, (based on OPM’s2004 survey), the NRC ranked third among federal agencies and it was the top-ranked regulatoryagency in government.

NEW RESIDENT INSPECTOR NAMED AT INDIAN POINT 3

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have selected Brian D.

Wittick as the new resident inspector at the Indian Point 3 nuclear power plant in Buchanan, N.Y. 

Entergy Northeast operates both Indian Point 2 and 3. The NRC has two inspectors assigned to

each unit. Wittick joins Senior Resident Inspector Tom Hipschman at Unit 3. He replaces Robert

Berryman, who was selected for a position in the NRC Region II office in Atlanta. 

"Brian Wittick’s experience and commitment to safety will help the NRC ensure that Indian

Point 3 conducts operations with the highest safety standards to protect the public health and safety,"

said NRC Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins.

Wittick joined the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in September as a reactor engineer in the

Division of Reactor Safety. Previously, he served in the United States Navy for 21 years. He earned a

bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from the United States Naval Academy; a master’s in

acoustical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, and a master of business

administration from National University in San Diego. 

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They

serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections and monitoring

significant work projects. 

The Indian Point 3 resident inspectors can be reached at 914/739-8565.

#### § 330.503 Ensuring agency compliance with the principles of open competition.

Subject: Additional comments about the PGVP

I just wanted to reiderate the position of Airgas Inc. that we 

completely support the Protocol Gas Verification Program as it was 

published. Airgas is the largest producer of EPA protocol gases (over 

38,000 per year) and we see no reason to change the program as 

proposed. I you need any further letters or information from me please 

do not hesitate to call me at 610-675-6854.

Thank you we appreciate the EPA's efforts moving this program along.
