NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Meeting Concerning the Revision of

the Oversight Program for Nuclear

Fuel Cycle Facilities

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: NRC will hold a public

meeting at the NRC Headquarters

location at 11555 Rockville Pike, in

Rockville, MD to provide the public,

those regulated by the NRC, and other

stakeholders with information about,

and an opportunity to provide views on,

how NRC plans to revise its oversight

program for nuclear fuel cycle facilities.

This meeting follows a February 8, 2001

public meeting regarding the work plan

for the oversight revision project.

Similar to the revision of the oversight

program for commercial nuclear power

reactor plants, NRC initiated an effort to

improve its oversight program for

nuclear fuel cycle facilities. This effort

is described in SECY–99–188,

‘‘Evaluation and Proposed Revision of

the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facility Safety

Inspection Program,’’ and in SECY–00–

0222, ‘‘Status of Nuclear Fuel Cycle

Facility Oversight Program Revision.’’

SECY–99–188 and SECY–00–0222 are

available in the Public Document Room

and on the NRC Web Page at http://

www.nrc.gov/NRC/COMMISSION/

SECYS/index.html. Additional project

information can be found on the NRC

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Notices 21023

technical conference website at http://

techconf.llnl.gov/cgi-bin/topics.

Purpose of Meeting: To obtain

stakeholder views on how to improve

the NRC oversight program for ensuring

that fuel cycle licensees and certificate

holders maintain protection of worker

and public health and safety, protection

of the environment, and safeguards for

special nuclear material and classified

matter in the interest of national

security. The oversight program applies

to commercial nuclear fuel cycle

facilities regulated under 10 CFR parts

40, 70, and 76. The facilities currently

include gaseous diffusion plants, highly

enriched uranium fuel fabrication

facilities, low-enriched uranium fuel

fabrication facilities, and a uranium

hexafluoride (UF6) production facility.

These facilities possess large quantities

of materials that are potentially

hazardous (i.e., radioactive, toxic, and/

or flammable) to the workers, public,

and environment. Also, some of the

facilities possess information and

material important to national security.

In revising the oversight program, the

goal is to have an oversight program

that: (1) Provides earlier and more

objective indications of facility

performance in the areas of safety and

national security, (2) increases

stakeholder confidence in the NRC, and

(3) increases regulatory effectiveness,

efficiency, and realism. To achieve this

goal, the NRC desires the revised

oversight program to be more riskinformed and performance-based.

The May 8, 2001 public meeting will

focus on the development of a general

policy on how the effectiveness of

licensee corrective actions will be

factored into performance assessments

and the NRC’s response to licensee

performance.

DATES: Members of the public, industry,

and other stakeholders are invited to

attend and participate in the meeting,

which is scheduled for 9 to 10:15 a.m.

on Tuesday, May 8, 2001. The meeting

will be held in the One White Flint

North building in conference room O–

4B6.

ADDRESSES: NRC Headquarters, 11555

Rockville Pike, in Rockville, MD. Visitor

parking around NRC Headquarters is

limited; however, the public meeting

site may be reached by taking the

Washington DC area metro to White

Flint. NRC Headquarters is located

across the street from the White Flint

metro station.
