Dear Ms. Austgen:
It is my sincere pleasure to invite you to participate as a speaker at U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions 31st Annual Regulatory Information Conference (RIC). The RIC will be held on March 12-14, 2019, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Road, North Bethesda, MD 20852.
Co-sponsored by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, the RIC brings together nearly 3,000 participants from over 30 countries representing interested stakeholders from other government agencies, industry, international organizations, and the general public. The RIC offers participants a forum that promotes open dialogue to learn valuable information about NRC actions planned or in progress related to the regulation of nuclear power plants, other nuclear facilities, and nuclear safety research. In addition, the RIC continues to offer an environment to interact with nuclear industry leaders and share ideas, perspectives, and experiences on matters related to nuclear safety and regulation.
We request your participation as a speaker during our technical session entitled, "All Things NEPA - Past, Present, and Future." This session will give participants an opportunity to learn about the NRCs efforts to meet its requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and associated laws. Included will be NRC presentations on guidance updates, experiences with Fixing Americas Surface Transportation Act (FAST41) and Executive Order 13807, and preparation for advanced reactors environmental reviews. We would like to welcome your perspective and believe your presentation will help stimulate healthy dialogue and in-depth discussion on the topic.
We hope you are available to accept this invitation. To confirm your participation, we request that you complete and sign the enclosed NRC Forms 1105 and 1106, and return them electronically to the Session Coordinator listed below by December 20, 2018.
In the event that you are not available to participate, please notify Jack Cushing, Session Coordinator, at your earliest opportunity. He can be reached at 301-415-1424 and jack.cushing@nrc.gov.
