NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Seeking Qualified Candidates for the 

Advisory Committee on Reactor 

Safeguards 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Request for resumes. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) seeks qualified 

candidates for the Advisory Committee 

on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). 

DATES: Resumes will be accepted until 

June 23, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit resumes to Ms. 

Kendra Freeland, ACRS, Mail Stop 

T2E26, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001, or email Kendra.Freeland@

nrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACRS 

is a part-time advisory group, which is 

statutorily mandated by the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended. ACRS 

provides independent expert advice on 

matters related to the safety of existing 

and proposed nuclear power plants and 

on the adequacy of proposed reactor 

safety standards. Of primary importance 

are the safety issues associated with the 

operation of 99 commercial nuclear 

power plants in the United States and 

regulatory initiatives, including riskinformed and performance-based 

regulation, license renewal, power 

uprates, and the use of mixed oxide and 

high burnup fuels. An increased 

emphasis is being given to safety issues 

associated with new reactor designs and 

technologies, including passive system 

reliability and thermal hydraulic 

phenomena, use of digital 

instrumentation and control, 

international codes and standards used 

in multinational design certifications, 

materials, and structural engineering, 

nuclear analysis and reactor core 

performance, and nuclear materials and 

radiation protection. In addition, the 

ACRS may be requested to provide 

advice on radiation protection, 

radioactive waste management, and 

earth sciences in the agency’s licensing 

reviews for fuel fabrication and 

enrichment facilities, and for waste 

disposal facilities. The ACRS also has 

some involvement in security matters 

related to the integration of safety and 

security of commercial reactors. 

See the NRC Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/

advisory/acrs.html for additional 

information about the ACRS. Criteria 

used to evaluate candidates include 

education and experience, demonstrated 

skills in nuclear reactor safety matters, 

the ability to solve complex technical 

problems, and the ability to work 

collegially on a board, panel, or 

committee. The Commission, in 

selecting its Committee members, also 

considers the need for specific expertise 

to accomplish the work expected to be 

before the ACRS. ACRS Committee 

members are appointed for four-year 

terms with no term limits. The 

Commission looks to fill two vacancies 

as a result of this request. For this 

position, a candidate must have at least 

20 years of broad experience and a 

distinguished record of achievement in 

one or more areas of nuclear science and 

technology or related engineering 

disciplines. 

Candidates with pertinent graduate 

level experience will be given 

additional consideration. Consistent 

with the requirements of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, the 

Commission seeks candidates with 

diverse backgrounds, so that the 

membership on the Committee is fairly 

balanced in terms of the points of view 

represented and functions to be 

performed by the Committee. 

Candidates will undergo a thorough 

security background check to obtain the 

security clearance that is mandatory for 

all ACRS members. The security 

background check will involve the 

completion and submission of 

paperwork to the NRC. Candidates for 

ACRS appointments may be involved in 

or have financial interests related to 

NRC-regulated aspects of the nuclear 

industry. However, because conflict-ofinterest considerations may restrict the 

participation of a candidate in ACRS 

activities, the degree and nature of any 

such restriction on an individual’s 

activities as a member will be 

considered in the selection process. 

Each qualified candidate’s financial 

interests must be reconciled with 

applicable Federal and NRC rules and 

regulations prior to final appointment. 

This might require divestiture of 

securities or discontinuance of certain 

contracts or grants. Information 

regarding these restrictions will be 

provided upon request. As a part of the 

Stop Trading on Congressional 

Knowledge Act of 2012, which bans 

insider trading by members of Congress, 

their staff, and other high-level federal 

employees, candidates for appointments 

will be required to disclose additional 

financial transactions. 

A resume describing the educational 

and professional background of the 

candidate, including any special 

accomplishments, publications, and 

professional references should be 

provided. Candidates should provide 

their current address, telephone 

number, and email address. All 

candidates will receive careful 

consideration. Appointment will be 

made without regard to factors such as 

race, color, religion, national origin, sex, 

age, or disabilities. Candidates must be 

citizens of the United States and be able 

to devote approximately 100 days per 

year to Committee business, but may not 

be compensated for more than 130 

calendar days. Resumes will be 

accepted until June 23, 2015. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day 

of March, 2015. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Annette L. Vietti-Cook, 

Secretary of the Commission.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Rule 900.3NY(w) (Orders Defined) and 

Rule 980NY(d)(1) (Complex Order 

Trading) to delete the PNP Plus 

designation for Electronic Complex 

Orders from its rules. The text of the 

proposed rule change is available on the 

Exchange’s Web site at www.nyse.com, 

at the principal office of the Exchange, 

and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

self-regulatory organization included 

statements concerning the purpose of, 

and basis for, the proposed rule change 

and discussed any comments it received 

on the proposed rule change. The text 

of those statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The Exchange has prepared summaries, 

set forth in sections A, B, and C below, 

of the most significant parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Rule 900.3NY(w) and Rule 980NY(d)(1) 

to delete the PNP Plus designation for 

Electronic Complex Orders from its 

rules. 

PNP Plus Orders 

The PNP Plus order type was 

designed to provide ATP Holders with 

additional processing capability in order 

to control the circumstances under 

which their Electronic Complex Orders 

are executed. However, due to little 

demand for PNP Plus orders, the 

Exchange proposes to discontinue 

functionality supporting the order type. 

Pursuant to Rule 900.3NY(w), an 

Electronic Complex Order designated as 

PNP Plus (‘‘PNP Plus’’) is automatically 

re-priced by the Exchange at an MPV 

greater (less than) the contra-side 

Complex BBO (as defined in Rule 

900.2NY(7)) for any or all of the order 

that remains unexecuted and would 

otherwise lock or cross the Complex 

BBO should it be displayed in the 

Consolidated Book. The re-priced PNP 

Plus is then posted in the Consolidated 

Book. The Electronic Complex Order 

designated as PNP Plus continues to be 

re-priced at an MPV greater (less than) 

than the Complex BBO and re-posted in 

the Consolidated Book, with each 

change in the Complex BBO, until such 

time as the Complex BBO has moved to 

a price where the original limit price of 

the order no longer locks or crosses the 

Complex BBO, at which time the 

Electronic Complex Order designated as 

PNP Plus will revert to its original limit 

price. PNP Plus orders are ranked in the 

Consolidated Book pursuant to Rule 

980NY(b) and assigned a new price time 

priority as of the time of each re-posting. 

Given the lack of demand for PNP 

Plus orders, the Exchange proposes to 

decommission the order type and delete 

the definition of PNP Plus from Rule 

900.3NY(w). The Exchange proposes to 

hold Rule 900.3NY(w) as Reserved. 

Similarly, the Exchange proposes to 

delete the reference to ‘‘Limit Orders 

designated as PNP Plus’’ from Rule 

980NY(d)(1) regarding the types of 

allowable Electronic Complex Orders. 

As proposed Rule 980NY(d)(1) would 

state that ‘‘Electronic Complex Order 

must be designated as Limit Orders.’’ 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

change would assist with the 

maintenance of fair and orderly markets 

because it would reduce the complexity 

of order types available to market 

participants and would help clarify the 

nature of order types available for 

trading on the Exchange. 

Implementation 

The Exchange will announce the 

implementation date of this change 

through a Trader Update. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The proposed rule change is 

consistent with Section 6(b) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’),4 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Section 6(b)(5),5 in 

particular, in that it is designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, to foster 

cooperation and coordination with 

persons engaged in facilitating 

transactions in securities, and to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system. 

Specifically, the Exchange believes that 

by eliminating a little-used order type 

the proposal would assist with the 

maintenance of fair and orderly markets 

because it would reduce the complexity 

of order types available to market 

participants, thereby adding 

transparency and clarity to the 

Exchange’s rules, and would help 

clarify the nature of order types 

available for trading on the Exchange. 

The Exchange further believes that 

deleting an order type rarely used by 

investors also removes impediments to 

and perfects the mechanism of a free 

and open market by ensuring that 

members, regulators and the public can 

more easily navigate the Exchange’s 

rulebook and better understand the 

order types available for trading on the 

Exchange. Moreover, the Exchange 

believes that the elimination of the PNP 

Plus order type would simplify order 

processing and reduce the burden on 

system capacity, which the Exchange 

believes is consistent with promoting 

just and equitable principles of trade as 

well as protecting investors and the 

public interest. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, 

the Exchange believes that the proposed 

rule change would relieve a burden on 

competition by eliminating an order 

type and streamlining the Exchange’s 

rules. In doing so, the proposed rule 

change would also serve to promote 

regulatory clarity and consistency, 

thereby reducing burdens on the 

marketplace and facilitating investor 

protection. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 6 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.7 Because the 

proposed rule change does not: (i) 

Significantly affect the protection of 

investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; and (iii) become operative 

prior to 30 days from the date on which 

it was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
