DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Renewal of Department of Defense 

Federal Advisory Committees 

AGENCY: Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Renewal of Federal Advisory 

Committee. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972, (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 

41 CFR 102–3.50(d), the Department of 

Defense gives notice that it is renewing 

the charter for the Defense Health Board 

(hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Board’’). 

The Board is a non-discretionary 

Federal advisory committee that shall 

provide independent scientific advice 

and recommendations on matters 

relating to: 

a. Operational programs; 

b. Health policy development; 

c. Health research programs and 

requirements for the treatment and 

prevention of disease and injury; and 

d. Promotion of health and delivery of 

efficient, effective and high quality 

health care services to Department of 

Defense beneficiaries. 

The Board is not established to 

provide advice on individual DoD 

procurements. No matter shall be 

assigned to the Board for its 

considerations that would require any 

Board members to participate personally 

and substantially in the conduct of an 

specific procurement or place him or 

her in the position of acting as a 

contracting or procurement official. 

The Secretary of Defense, through the 

Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel 

and Readiness), may act upon the 

advice and recommendations of the 

Board. 

The Board shall be composed of not 

more than 30 members who are eminent 

authorities within their respective 

disciplines related to clinical health 

care, disease and injury prevention, 

health care delivery and administration, 

and/or strategic decision-making in 

government, industry or academia. 

The Board members shall be 

appointed by the Secretary of Defense, 

and their appointments must be 

renewed on an annual basis. Those 

members, who are not full-time or 

permanent part-time federal officers or 

employees, shall be appointed as 

experts and consultants under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109 and shall 

serve as special government employees. 

Members may serve for periods up to 

four years. Such appointments will 

normally be staggered among the Board 

membership to ensure an orderly 

turnover in the Board’s overall 

composition on a periodic basis. No 

Board member shall serve more than 

four consecutive years on the Board. 

Regular government officers or 

employees who participate in DoD’s 

decision-making process for this Board 

are prohibited from serving on the 

Board or its subcommittees. 

With the exception of travel and per 

diem for official travel, Board members 

shall normally serve without 

compensation, unless the Secretary of 

Defense authorizes compensation for a 

particular member(s). 

The Secretary of Defense, after 

considering the recommendation of the 

Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel 

and Readiness), shall appoint the 

President of the Board from the Board 

membership. The Under Secretary of 

Defense (Personnel and Readiness), 

prior to his recommendation, may 

consult the Board membership. No 

Board member shall serve more than 

four years as Board President. 

The Board shall select from within its 

membership a First Vice President and 

a Second Vice President. The First Vice 

President shall undertake the duties of 

the President in his or her absence, or 

as requested by the President of the 

Board. The Second Vice President shall 

fulfill this role as necessary. 

With DoD approval, the Board is 

authorized to establish subcommittees, 

as necessary and consistent with its 

mission. These subcommittees shall 

operate under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972, the Government in the Sunshine 

Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and other 

governing Federal statutes and 

regulations. 

Such subcommittees shall not work 

independently of the chartered Board, 

and shall report all their 

recommendations and advice to the 

Board for full deliberation and 

discussion. Subcommittees have no 

authority to make decisions on behalf of 

the chartered Board; nor can they report 

directly to the Department of Defense or 

any Federal officers or employees who 

are not Board members. 

Subcommittee members, who are not 

Board members, shall be appointed by 

the Secretary of Defense according to 

governing DoD policy and procedures. 

Such individuals, if not full-time 

government employees, shall be 

appointed to serve as experts and 

consultants under the authority of 5 

U.S.C. 3109, and serve as special 

government employees, whose 

appointments must be renewed on an 

annual basis.

RECOMMENDATION 2010–1 TO THE 

SECRETARY OF ENERGY 

Safety Analysis Requirements for Defining 

Adequate Protection for the Public and the 

Workers 

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2286a(a)(5) Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, As Amended 

Dated: October 29, 2010 

Background 

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) nuclear 

safety regulations were developed as a result 

of a mandate by Congress in the Price 

Anderson Act Amendments of 1988. These 

regulations now appear in Parts 820, 830, and 

835 of Title 10 in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR). In this Recommendation, 

the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 

(Board) addresses recent changes in DOE’s 

‘‘interpretation’’ of certain critical provisions 

of Title 10 CFR Part 830, Nuclear Safety 

Management (10 CFR Part 830), provisions 

which are intended to provide adequate 

protection of the public health and safety. As 

explained below, in the Board’s view this 

revised interpretative posture weakens the 

safety structure the rule is designed to hold 

firmly in place. 

10 CFR Part 830 imposes a requirement 

that a documented safety analysis, or DSA, is 

to be prepared for every DOE nuclear facility. 

This DSA, once approved by DOE, forms the 

regulatory basis for safety of the facility or 

operation. 10 CFR Part 830 does more, 

however: its Appendix A provides ‘‘safe 

harbors’’ for the preparation and approval of 

DSAs. These safe harbors are, in the main, 

references to detailed guidance issued by 

DOE. A DSA that is prepared following 

applicable guidance found in ‘‘safe harbors’’ 

should be found acceptable, meaning that the 

facility’s safety systems are adequate to 

protect public health and safety from nuclear 

hazards. 

One of the key safe harbor guides for the 

preparation of DSAs is DOE Standard 3009– 

94, Preparation Guide for U.S. Department of 

Energy Nonreactor Nuclear Facility Safety 

Analysis Reports.1 First issued in July of 

1994, this Standard was intended to provide 

guidance on meeting the requirements 

imposed by DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear 

Safety Analysis Reports, a set of nuclear 

safety requirements that preceded and were 

supplanted by 10 CFR Part 830. The Standard 

stated that ‘‘Technical Standards, such as this 

document, support the guides by providing 

additional guidance into how the 

requirements [of Orders and Rules] should be 

met.’’ As such, it did not contain any nuclear 

safety requirements. Five years after its initial 

issuance, DOE amended Standard 3009–94 

by the addition of Appendix A, entitled 

‘‘Evaluation Guidelines.’’ These guidelines 

apply dose criteria to the results of accident 

calculations found in DSAs. Stated broadly, 

the Evaluation Guidelines mandate that 

safety class systems be installed if, as a result 

of a potential accident, the unmitigated dose 

consequences at the site boundary approach 

or exceed 25 rem Total Effective Dose 

Equivalent (TEDE). 

When 10 CFR Part 830 was promulgated in 

final form in early 2001, the version of DOE 

Standard 3009–94 incorporated into 

Appendix A of the rule as a safe harbor 

included the Evaluation Guidelines. This 

combination of the rule’s requirement for an 

approved DSA and the application of the 

Evaluation Guidelines of DOE Standard 

3009–94 formed the basis upon which 

adequate protection of the public health and 

safety would be gauged. Whenever dose 

consequence calculations showed that an 

accident scenario would result in offsite 

doses approaching or exceeding 25 rem 

TEDE, safety class systems would have to be 

chosen and installed to reduce this dose to 

a small fraction of the Evaluation Guidelines. 

Developments Since 2001 

As a safe harbor for 10 CFR Part 830, the 

Evaluation Guidelines described in DOE 

Standard 3009–94 have been enforced and 

met for the majority of DOE’s defense nuclear 

facilities, assuring adequate protection to the 

public, workers, and the environment. 

However, in December 2008, the National 

Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 

approved a DSA for the Plutonium Facility 

at Los Alamos National Laboratory that 

represented a significant departure from the 

accepted methodology, as discussed in the 

Board’s Recommendation 2009–2, Los 

Alamos National Laboratory Plutonium
