Staff Meetings Open to the Public: Proposed Policy Statement

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to revise Section D of its current policy statement that NRC staff follows in opening to public observation meetings between the NRC staff and one or more outside persons. The NRC proposes to announce via the Internet from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov, its staff meetings that will be open to the public. The NRC proposes to discontinue announcing public staff meetings, meeting changes, and cancellations through its public meeting notice system provided by NRC's electronic bulletin board and a telephone recording, and through the Weekly Compilation of Press Releases and posting in the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR). The policy would also be amended to state that staff meetings will be announced as soon as the staff is certain that a meeting will be held and firm arrangements have been made, but generally no fewer than 10 calendar days before the meeting. Also, the policy would be amended to eliminate the current practice of only posting meetings scheduled within 60 days. The Commission will not finalize revisions to the Policy Statement or discontinue its current methods of informing the public of open staff meetings until
