SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

is established under section 242 of the 

Workforce Investment Act of 1998, P.L. 

105–220 (20 U.S.C. 9252). The Board 

consists of ten individuals appointed by 

the President with the advice and 

consent of the Senate. The Board 

advises and makes recommendations to 

the Interagency Group that administers 

the Institute. The Interagency Group is 

composed of the Secretaries of 

Education, Labor, and Health and 

Human Services. The Interagency Group 

considers the Board’s recommendations 

in planning the goals of the Institute and 

in implementing any programs to 

achieve those goals. Specifically, the 

Board performs the following functions: 

(a) Makes recommendations concerning 

the appointment of the Director and the 

staff of the Institute; (b) provides 

independent advice on operation of the 

Institute; and (c) receives reports from 

the Interagency Group and the 

Institute’s Director. 

The National Institute for Literacy 

Advisory Board will meet March 28–29, 

2007. On March 28, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. 

to 5:30 p.m. and March 29, 2007 from 

8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Board will meet 

in open session to discuss strategic 

planning and the dissemination plan for 

the National Early Literacy Panel 

Report. 

On March 28, 2007 from 5:30 p.m. to 

6 p.m., the Board will meet in closed 

session to discuss personnel issues. This 

discussion will relate to the Institute’s 

internal personnel practices, including 

consideration of the Director’s 

performance and salary. The discussion 

is likely to disclose information of a 

personal nature where disclosure would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personnel privacy. The 

discussion must therefore be held in 

closed session under exemptions 2 and 

6 of the Government in the Sunshine 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6). A 

summary of the activities at the closed 

session and related matters that are 

informative to the public and consistent 

with the policy of 5 U.S.C. 552b will be 

available to the public within 14 days of 

the meeting. 

Records are kept of all Advisory 

Board proceedings and are available for 

public inspection at the National 

Institute for Literacy, 1775 I Street, NW., 

Suite 730, Washington, DC 20006, from 

8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Dated: March 2, 2007.

Director.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No.: 70–1257; License No. SNM–

1227; EA–06–231] 

In the Matter of Areva Np, Inc. 

Richland, WA and All Others Who Seek 

or Obtain Access to Safeguards 

Information; Described Herein: Order 

Imposing Fingerprinting and Criminal 

History Check Requirements for 

Access to Safeguards Information 

(Effective Immediately) 

I 

AREVA NP, Inc., Richland, (AREVA 

NP—Richland) is the holder of Special 

Nuclear Material License No. SNM–

1227 issued by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory (NRC) pursuant to 10 CFR 

Part 70. AREVA NP—Richland is 

authorized, by its license, to receive, 

possess, and transfer byproduct, source 

material, and special nuclear material in 

accordance with the Atomic Energy Act 

(AEA) of 1954, as amended, and 10 CFR 

Part 70. 

On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005 (EPAct) was enacted. 

Section 652 of the EPAct amended 

Section 149 of the AEA to require 

fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of 

Investigation (FBI) identification and 

criminal history records check of any 

person who is to be permitted to have 

access to Safeguards Information (SGI).1

The NRC’s implementation of this 

requirement cannot await the 

completion of the SGI rulemaking, 

which is underway, because the EPAct 

fingerprinting and criminal history 

check requirements for access to SGI 

were immediately effective on 

enactment of the EPAct. Although the 

EPAct permits the Commission, by rule, 

to except certain categories of 

individuals from the fingerprinting 

requirement, which the Commission has 

done [see 10 CFR 73.59, 71 Federal 

Register 33989 (June 13, 2006)], it is 

unlikely that licensee employees are 

excepted from the fingerprinting 

requirement by the ‘‘fingerprinting 

relief’’ rule. Individuals relieved from 

fingerprinting and criminal history 

checks under the relief rule include: 

Federal, State, and local officials and 

law enforcement personnel; Agreement 

State Inspectors who conduct security 

inspections on behalf of the NRC; 

members of Congress and certain 

employees of members of Congress or 

Congressional Committees, and 

representatives of the International
