STATUS: Open. While the Government 

in the Sunshine Act does not require 

that the scheduled discussion be 

conducted in a meeting, the Board has 

determined that an open meeting in this 

specific case furthers the public 

interests underlying both the Sunshine 

Act and the Board’s enabling legislation. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: This is the 

second in a series of public meetings to 

examine the Department of Energy’s 

(DOE) implementation of 

Recommendation 2004–1, Oversight of 

Complex, High-Hazard Nuclear 

Operations. The Board is reviewing 

DOE’s and the National Nuclear 

Security Administration’s (NNSA) 

current oversight and safety 

management of the contracts and 

contractors they rely upon to 

accomplish the mission assigned to DOE 

and NNSA under the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended, at defense nuclear 

facilities. We will focus on what impact 

DOE’s and NNSA’s new initiatives, 

including changes to DOE directives, 

contractor oversight, and governance, 

may have upon assuring adequate 

protection of the health and safety of the 

public and workers at DOE’s defense 

nuclear facilities. Over the next several 

months, we will conduct a series of 

public meetings to collect information 

needed to understand and address any 

health or safety concerns that may 

require Board Action. 

In the May 12th meeting, the Board 

will explore in more depth federal 

safety management and oversight 

policies being developed by DOE and 

NNSA for defense nuclear facilities. 

DOE and NNSA senior leaders will 

articulate their views on the role of line 

and independent oversight to safely 

accomplish their work at defense 

nuclear facilities. The Board will 

examine DOE’s and NNSA’s new 

approach to federal oversight and its 

relationship to contractor assurance 

systems. The public hearing portion of 

this proceeding is authorized by 42 

U.S.C. 2286b. 

CONTACT PERSON FOR MORE INFORMATION: 

Brian Grosner, General Manager, 

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, 

625 Indiana Avenue, NW., Suite 700, 

Washington, DC 20004–2901, (800) 788– 

4016. This is a toll-free number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Requests 

to speak at the hearing may be 

submitted in writing or by telephone. 

The Board asks that commentators 

describe the nature and scope of their 

oral presentation. Those who contact 

the Board prior to close of business on 

May 11, 2010, will be scheduled for 

time slots, beginning at approximately 

12 p.m. The Board will post a schedule 

for those speakers who have contacted 

the Board before the hearing. The 

posting will be made at the entrance to 

the Public Hearing Room at the start of 

the 9 a.m. hearing and meeting. 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

deemed appropriate. Documents will be

The Board will hold the record open 

until June 12, 2010, for the receipt of 

additional materials. A transcript of the

Board for inspection by the public at the 

Board’s Washington office and at DOE’s

Building, 1000 Independence Avenue, 

SW., Washington, DC 20585. The Board 

specifically reserves its right to further 

schedule and otherwise regulate the 

course of the meeting and hearing, to 

recess, reconvene, postpone, or adjourn 

the meeting and hearing, conduct 

further reviews, and otherwise exercise 

its power under the Atomic Energy Act
