BILLING CODE P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Advisory Committee on Reactor 

Safeguards; Procedures for Meetings 

Background 

This notice describes procedures to be 

followed with respect to meetings 

conducted by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) 

Advisory Committee on Reactor 

Safeguards (ACRS) pursuant to the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA). These procedures are set forth 

so that they may be incorporated by 

reference in future notices for 

individual meetings. 

The ACRS is a statutory group 

established by Congress to review and 

report on nuclear safety matters and 

applications for the licensing of nuclear 

facilities. The Committee’s reports 

become a part of the public record. 

The ACRS meetings are conducted in 

accordance with FACA; they are 

normally open to the public and provide 

opportunities for oral or written 

statements from members of the public 

to be considered as part of the 

Committee’s information gathering 

process. ACRS reviews do not normally 

encompass matters pertaining to 

environmental impacts other than those 

related to radiological safety. 

The ACRS meetings are not 

adjudicatory hearings such as those 

conducted by the NRC’s Atomic Safety 

and Licensing Board Panel as part of the 

Commission’s licensing process. 

General Rules Regarding ACRS Full 

Committee Meetings 

An agenda will be published in the 

Federal Register for each full 

Committee meeting. There may be a 

need to make changes to the agenda to 

facilitate the conduct of the meeting. 

The Chairman of the Committee is 

empowered to conduct the meeting in a 

manner that, in his/her judgment, will 

facilitate the orderly conduct of 

business, including making provisions 

to continue the discussion of matters 

not completed on the scheduled day on 

another day of the same meeting. 

Persons planning to attend the meeting 

may contact the Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO) specified in the Federal 

Register Notice prior to the meeting to 

be advised of any changes to the agenda 

that may have occurred. 

The following requirements shall 

apply to public participation in ACRS 

full Committee meetings: 

(a) Persons who plan to submit 

written comments at the meeting should 

provide 35 copies to the DFO at the 

beginning of the meeting. Persons who 

cannot attend the meeting, but wish to 

submit written comments regarding the 

agenda items may do so by sending a 

readily reproducible copy addressed to 

the DFO specified in the Federal 

Register Notice, care of the Advisory 

Committee on Reactor Safeguards, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. 

Comments should be limited to items 

being considered by the Committee. 

Comments should be in the possession 

of the DFO 5 days prior to the meeting 

to allow time for reproduction and 

distribution. 

(b) Persons desiring to make oral 

statements at the meeting should make 

a request to do so to the DFO; if 

possible, the request should be made 5 

days before the meeting, identifying the 

topic(s) on which oral statements will 

be made and the amount of time needed 

for presentation so that orderly 

arrangements can be made. The 

Committee will hear oral statements on 

topics being reviewed at an appropriate 

time during the meeting as scheduled by 

the Chairman. 

(c) Information regarding topics to be 

discussed, changes to the agenda, 

whether the meeting has been canceled 

or rescheduled, and the time allotted to 

present oral statements can be obtained 

by contacting the DFO. 

(d) The use of still, motion picture, 

and television cameras will be 

permitted at the discretion of the 

Chairman and subject to the condition 

that the use of such equipment will not 

interfere with the conduct of the 

meeting. The DFO will have to be 

notified prior to the meeting and will 

authorize the use of such equipment 

after consultation with the Chairman. 

The use of such equipment will be 

restricted as is necessary to protect 

proprietary or privileged information 

that may be in documents, folders, etc., 

in the meeting room. Electronic 

recordings will be permitted only 

during those portions of the meeting 

that are open to the public. 

(e) A transcript will be kept for certain 

open portions of the meeting and will be 

available in the NRC Public Document 

Room (PDR), One White Flint North, 

Room O–1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, MD 20852–2738. A copy of 

the certified minutes of the meeting will 

be available at the same location 3 

months following the meeting. Copies 

may be obtained upon payment of 

appropriate reproduction charges. ACRS 

meeting agenda, transcripts, and letter 

reports are available through the PDR at 

PDR.Resource@nrc.gov, by calling the 

PDR at 1–800–397–4209, or from the 

Publicly Available Records System 

(PARS) component of NRC’s document 

system (ADAMS) which is accessible 

from the NRC Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/acrs/. 

(f) Video teleconferencing service is 

available for observing open sessions of 

ACRS meetings. Those wishing to use 

this service for observing ACRS 

meetings should contact Mr. Theron 

Brown, ACRS Audio Visual Specialist, 

(301–415–8066) between 7:30 a.m. and 

3:45 p.m. Eastern Time at least 10 days 

before the meeting to ensure the 

availability of this service. Individuals 

or organizations requesting this service 

will be responsible for telephone line 

charges and for providing the 

equipment and facilities that they use to 

establish the video teleconferencing 

link. The availability of video 

teleconferencing services is not 

guaranteed. 

ACRS Subcommittee Meetings 

In accordance with the revised FACA, 

the agency is no longer required to 

apply the FACA requirements to 

meetings conducted by the 

Subcommittees of the NRC Advisory 

Committees, if the Subcommittee’s 

recommendations would be 

independently reviewed by its parent 

Committee. 

The ACRS, however, has chosen to 

conduct its Subcommittee meetings in 

accordance with the procedures noted 

above for ACRS full Committee 

meetings, as appropriate, to facilitate 

public participation, and to provide a 

forum for stakeholders to express their 

views on regulatory matters being 

considered by the ACRS. When 

Subcommittee meetings are held at 

locations other than at NRC facilities, 

reproduction facilities may not be 

available at a reasonable cost. 

Accordingly, 50 copies of the materials 

to be used during the meeting should be 

provided for distribution at such 

meetings.
