DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD


Sunshine Act Meetings

TIME AND DATE: Session 1: 9:00 a.m.-9:50 a.m., Session 2: 10:00 a.m.-
11:30 a.m., Session 3: 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., August 28, 2018.

PLACE: 625 Indiana Avenue, Room 352, Washington, DC 20004.

STATUS: Open. While the Government in the Sunshine Act does not require 
that the scheduled hearing be conducted in a meeting, the Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board has determined that an open meeting and 
hearing furthers the public interests underlying both the Government in 
the Sunshine Act and the Board's enabling legislation.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: 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 Board's public 
hearing on August 28, 2018. The goal for the hearing is to gather 
information on (1) the objectives of and intended improvements to be 
accomplished by DOE Order 140.1, Interface with the Defense Nuclear 
Facilities Safety Board; (2) DNFSB access to information, facilities, 
and personnel; and (3) potential impacts to the DNFSB resident 
inspector program.
    In session 1, the Board will hear the Secretary of Energy's (or his 
designee's) position on interface between the DNFSB and DOE. The Board 
and the Secretary of Energy will discuss the objectives and intended 
improvements for accomplishment through the development of Order 140.1. 
In session 2, the Board will hear testimony regarding access to 
information, facilities, and personnel including potential impacts to 
the DNFSB resident inspector program. The Board and the panel of 
participants will discuss changes in access to information, facilities, 
and personnel as a result of DOE Order 140.1; intended changes from the 
DOE interface manual to the Order and execution challenges; and 
potential impacts to the DNFSB resident inspector program as a result 
of DOE Order 140.1.
    The agenda for the hearing is posted on the Board's website 
(www.dnfsb.gov). Public participation in the hearing is invited during 
the public comment period of the agenda. Persons interested in speaking 
during the public comment period are encouraged to pre-register by
