DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES 

SAFETY BOARD 

Sunshine Act Notice 

AGENCY: Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: 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 Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 

Board’s public hearing and meeting 

described below. Interested persons or 

groups may present comments, 

technical information, or data 

concerning safety issues related to the 

matters to be considered. 

TIME AND DATE OF MEETING: 9 a.m., March 

31, 2011. 

PLACE: Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 

Board, Public Hearing Room, 625 

Indiana Avenue, NW., Suite 300, 

Washington, DC 20004–2901. 

Additionally, as a part of the Board’s EGovernment initiative, the meeting will 

be presented live through Internet video 

streaming. A link to the presentation 

will be available on the Board’s Web site 

(http://www.dnfsb.gov). 

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 

third 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) 

safety management and oversight 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 and NNSA’s defense nuclear 

facilities. We are conducting this series 

of public meetings to collect 

information needed to understand and 

address any health or safety concerns 

that may require Board action. 

In the March 31, 2011, meeting the 

Board will explore in more depth 

Federal safety management and 

oversight policies being developed and 

administered 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 evolving 

approach to federal oversight and its 

relationship to contractor assurance 

systems as well as the effect of changes 

to DOE directives. 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: Public 

participation in the hearing is invited. 

Requests to speak may be submitted in 

writing or by telephone. The Board asks 

that commentators describe the nature 

and scope of their oral presentations. 

Those who contact the Board prior to 

close of business on March 30, 2011, 

will be scheduled for time slots, 

beginning at approximately 12 p.m. The
