,, At the conclusion of the Executive Session, the Subeccnittee will hear presentations by and hold discussions with representatives of the tac Staff and their consultants, pertinent to the above topics.
In addition, it may be necessary to hold one or more closed sessions as the Subcommittee will be considering portions of the budget and program of the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. Since the tGC budget proposals are now a part of the President's budget--not yet sutnitted to Congress-public disclo-sure of budgetary information is not permitted. See CMS Circular No. A-10.
~he AC?5, however, is recuired by Section 5 of the 1973 NRC Authorization Act to review the 230 resear:h program and budget and report the results of its review to Congress.
In order to perform this review, the ACRS must be able to engage in frank fiscussion with cembers of the tac Staff.
For the reason just stated, a discussion would not be possible if held in public session.
I have determined, derefore, that it is necessary to close one or more sessions at this meeting to prevent frustration of this aspect of the ACES' statutory responsibilities, in accordance with Exemption (9) (B) to the Govern-ment in 2e Sunshine Act (552b(c)(9) (B)).
Nrter inf:r.ation regarding topics to be discussed, whether the meting has been cancelled or rescheduled, the Chairman's ruling on requests for the opport.:nity to present oral statements and the time allotted therefore can be obtained by a prepaid telephone call to the Designated Federal r~bployee for this meeting, Dr. Richard Savio (telephone 202/634-3267) between 8:15 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.,
