SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ‘‘ADR’’ is 

a term that refers to a number of 

processes that can be used in assisting 

parties in resolving disputes and 

potential conflicts. Most of these 

processes are voluntary, where the 

parties to the dispute are in control of 

the decision on whether to participate 

in the process and whether to agree to 

any resolution of the dispute. The 

parties are assisted in their efforts to 

reach agreement by a neutral third 

party. 

Proposed evaluation criteria for the 

pilot program include: (1) Program 

effectiveness, including success of the 

program in helping ensure safety is 

maintained and settlement rate; (2) 

program efficiency in terms of both 

timeliness and cost efficiency; and (3) 

program satisfaction, including 

perceptions of fairness, usefulness, 

parties’ satisfaction with outcomes, 

public perception of the program, and 

interest in using the program after initial 

program use. In addition, the NRC is 

interested in general comments 

regarding the pilot program and 

recommendations for a potential future 

program. The evaluation criteria are 

addressed in a document for comment 

on the NRC’s Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov, select What We Do, 

Enforcement, then Alternative Dispute 

Resolution. This document is also 

available in ADAMS at ML052640603. 

After a brief presentation regarding 

the status of the pilot program, the 

meeting on October 11, 2005, will be 

conducted as a roundtable discussion 

among participants who have been 

invited to represent the broad spectrum 

of interests in the areas of allegations 

and enforcement. The participants 

include representatives from 

whistleblower counsels, the public, and 

the nuclear industry. The meeting is 

open to the public and all attendees will 

have an opportunity to offer comments 

and ask questions at selected points 

throughout the meeting. Any questions 

regarding the roundtable discussion 

should be directed to the meeting 

facilitator, Francis ‘‘Chip’’ Cameron by 

phone at 301–415–1642 or e-mail 

fxc@nrc.gov. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day
