NCUA Chairman as chairperson. All

three Committee members shall serve

for one year terms and may be

reappointed for additional terms. Each

member of the Committee shall have

one vote and a quorum (two members)

shall be present at each Committee

meeting. Meetings may be held in

person or via teleconference. A majority

vote of the full Committee (two votes) is

required for action on an appeal.

Regular Committee meetings shall

generally be held quarterly. Additional

meetings will be scheduled or regular

meetings canceled, as appropriate, by

the chairperson on an as needed basis.

Appeals of material supervisory

determinations made by NCUA may be

made by all federally insured credit

unions (federal credit unions (FCUs)

and federally-insured, state chartered

credit unions (FISCUs)).

Material supervisory determinations

are limited to: (1) Composite CAMEL

ratings of 3, 4, and 5 and all component

ratings of those composite ratings; (2)

adequacy of loan loss reserve

provisions; and (3) loan classifications

on loans that are significant as

determined by the appealing credit

union.

An FCU, other than a corporate FCU,

must contact the regional office

regarding the examiner’s decision

within 30 days of the examiner’s final

determination. The decision must be

appealed to (postmarked or received by)

the Committee either 30 days after a

regional determination or 60 days after

the regional office has been contacted if

it has not made a determination.

A FISCU, other than a corporate

FISCU, must contact the Regional Office

within 30 days of the NCUA examiner’s

final decision. The Region will verify

that the determination being appealed

was made by an NCUA examiner. If the

decision was made by the state, the

appeal will be turned over to the state

for appropriate action. If the decision

was made by the NCUA examiner, the

dispute will be handed by the Region

and become appealable to the

Committee either 30 days after a

regional determination or 60 days after

the regional office has been contacted if

it has not made a determination. The

Committee chairperson will reverify

that the determination was made by

NCUA. Regional staff and the

Committee will notify and consult with

the state supervisory authority in

appropriate cases.

All federally insured corporate credit

unions (FCUs and FISCUs) must contact

the Office of Corporate Credit Unions

concerning its examiner’s final

determination and then the Committee

within the same time frames. Staff from

the Office of Corporate Credit Unions

and the Committee will consult with the

state supervisory authority in

appropriate cases involving corporate

FISCUs.

The board of directors of the

appealing credit union must authorize

that the appeal be filed. Appeals shall

be submitted in writing and shall be

mailed or delivered to Chairman,

Supervisory Review Committee, NCUA,

1775 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA

22314–3428.

Appeals may be made by letter, and

shall include the name of the appellant

credit union, the material supervisory

determination being appealed and the

reasons for the appeal. Appellants are

encouraged to submit all information

and supporting documentation relevant

to the matter in dispute.

Appellants are entitled to a personal

appearance before the Committee. The

Committee chairperson reserves the

right, however, to attempt to work out

the dispute through teleconference.

The material supervisory

determination remains in affect pending

appeal. The appeal does not prevent the

NCUA from taking any action, either

formal or informal, that it deems

appropriate during the pendency of the

appeal.

The Committee may request

additional information from the

appellant and/or the Regional Office

within 15 days of its receipt of the

appeal. The information must be

submitted to the Committee within 15

days of receipt of the Committee

request. The Committee shall make a

determination on the appeal within 30

days from the date of the receipt of an

appeal by the Committee or of its receipt

of any requested additional information.

These time requirements are subject to

adjustment by the Committee, whether

on its own or upon request of the

appellant or the Region involved.

The Committee decision is appealable

to the NCUA Board within 30 days of

receipt by the parties.

B—Other Appeals

Procedures for various formal and

informal adjudicative and nonadjudicative actions and proceedings

not covered by the Supervisory Review

Committee are found in Parts 709

(creditor claim appeals), 745 (share

insurance appeals), 792 (Freedom of

Information Act appeals) and 747

(appeals of various administrative and

enforcement actions) of the NCUA Rules

and Regulations (12 CFR 709, 745, 792,

and 747). These parts should be

reviewed to determine the procedures

which apply for a particular appeal. In

addition, the NCUA Board serves as the

final administrative decision maker for

major disputes that are not otherwise

covered by this IRPS or Parts 709, 745,

792 or 747. These include disputes over

chartering, insurance applications, field

of membership expansion, merger,

certain corporate credit union matters,

charter changes and letters of

understanding and agreement. These

issues should first be pursued through

the appropriate Regional Office or the

Office of Corporate Credit Unions.

Appeals concerning these matters

should be addressed to the NCUA Board

and submitted through the appropriate

Regional Office or the Office of

Corporate Credit Unions.

C—Retaliation

Alleged acts of retaliation should be

reported to NCUA’s Inspector General,

who is authorized by Congress, under

the Inspector General Act, to receive

and investigate complaints and other

information regarding abuse in agency

programs and operations.

Any retaliation by NCUA staff against

a credit union making any type of

appeal will subject the employee to

appropriate disciplinary or remedial

action by the appropriate supervisor.

Such disciplinary or remedial action

may include oral or written warning or

admonishment, reprimand, suspension

or separation from employment, change

in assigned duties, or disqualification

from a particular assignment, including

prohibition from participating in any

examination of the credit union that was

the subject of the retaliation.

The National Institutes of Health

Issuance of Director’s Decision Under

10 C.F.R. 2.206 (DD–95–05)

Notice is hereby given that the

Director, Office of Nuclear Material

Safety and Safeguards, United States

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC

or Commission) has issued a decision

concerning a Petition dated December 2,

1993, submitted by the North Bethesda

Congress of Citizen’s Associations

regarding the National Institutes of

Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland.

The Petition requested that the

Commission suspend License Condition

24, which authorizes NIH to incinerate

radioactive waste on the Bethesda

campus, pending resolution of several

regulatory issues. The Petition also

requested copies of the environmental

assessments and/or safety evaluations

that form the base for the NRC’s

authorization of License Condition 21,

which raised the sewer disposal limit

for radioactive materials to 8 Ci per

year, and License Condition 28, which

authorizes storage of radioactive waste

at the NIH Poolesville facility. Finally,

the Petition requested a copy of future

correspondence between NRC and NIH

regarding these matters.

After review of the Petition, the

Director has determined that Petitioner’s

request to suspend License Condition 24

(License Condition 27 in the current

License) was mooted by the removal of

that Condition from the License.

Petitioner’s request for a copy of

environmental assessments and/or

safety evaluations that form the bases

for authorization of license Conditions

21 and 28 cannot be granted. However,

certain documents submitted by the

Licensee in support of license

amendment applications in connection

with License Conditions 21, 24, and 28

have been supplied to Petitioner.

Petitioner’s request for a copy of future

correspondence between NRC and NIH

regarding these matters was granted.

The reasons for this Decision are

explained in a ‘‘Director’s Decision

Under 10 C.F.R. 2.206’’ (DD–95–05),

which is available for public inspection

in the Commission’s Public Document

Room located at 2120 L Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20555.

A copy of this Decision will be filed

with the Secretary for the Commission’s

review in accordance with 10 C.F.R.

2.206(c). As provided by this regulation,

the Decision will constitute the final

action of the Commission 25 days after

the date of issuance of the Decision,

unless the Commission on its own

motion institutes a review of the

Decision within that time.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 5th day

of March, 1995.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety

and Safeguards.

DIRECTOR’S DECISION UNDER 10 C.F.R.

2.206

I. Introduction

By letter addressed to the Executive

Director for Operations, dated December

2, 1993, Arlene S. Allen, on behalf of

the North Bethesda Congress of Citizen’s

Associations, Inc. (North Bethesda

Congress, or Petitioner), requested that

NRC take action with respect to the

National Institutes of Health (NIH, or

the Licensee) in Bethesda, Maryland.

Petitioner requests that the NRC: (1)

suspend License Condition 24 of the

NIH Materials License No. 19–00296–10

(License), which authorizes NIH to

dispose of licensed materials by

incineration, pending resolution of two

regulatory issues: (a) no environmental

report or environmental assessment has

been completed regarding the

incineration of radioactive waste on

NIH’s Bethesda campus; and (b) there

may be less than adequate monitoring to

ensure that radioactive effluents are

within regulatory limits; (2) provide

copies of the NRC environmental

assessments and/or safety evaluations

that provide the bases for (a) an

exception from 10 CFR § 20.303(d)

limits regarding radioactive materials

discharges into sanitary sewer systems

(License Condition 21); and (b) approval

of the construction and operation of a

low level waste storage facility at NIH’s

Poolesville campus (License Condition

28); and (3) forward a copy of future

correspondence between NRC and NIH

regarding these matters to the North

Bethesda Congress.

The Petitioner asserts the following as

bases for these requests: (1) NIH has not

completed or submitted to the NRC an

environmental report regarding

radiological releases from incinerators at

the Bethesda campus, and the NRC has

not issued an environmental assessment

or impact statement regarding NIH

radiological emissions, as required by

the National Environmental Policy Act

and 10 CFR 51.21, 51.45 and 51.60(b);

(2) licensing the disposal of radioactive

waste by incineration is a federal action

subject to the NEPA process; (3) because

releases from the NIH incinerators are

capable of exceeding regulatory limits

and will increase over the next few

years, and because total radiological

emissions from NIH are sufficient to

warrant environmental analysis, the

continued burning of radioactive waste

by NIH without an environmental report

and environmental assessment are in

noncompliance with NRC

environmental regulations; (4) although

NRC cited NIH for its failure to

adequately monitor radioactive effluents

and NIH committed to install

instrumentation for continuous

monitoring as a corrective action for
