7-Practical considerations may dictate alterations in the above agenda I
or schedule. The Chairman of the Comittee is empcreered to conduct the meeting in a manner that in his judgment will facilitate the orderly con-duct of business, including provisions to carry over an incompleted open session from one day to the next.
The Advisory Comittee on Reactor Safeguards is an independent group established by Congress to review and report on each application for a construction permit and on each application for an operating license fct a reactor facility and on certain other nuclear safety matters. The Comittee's reports become a part of the public record. Although ACRS meetings are ordinarily open to the public and provide for oral or written statements to be considered as a part of the Comittee's in-formation gathering procedure concerning the health and safety of the public, they are not adjudicatory type hearings such as are conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission's Atomic Safety & Licensing Board as part of the Comission's licensing process. ACRS meetings do not normally treat matters pertaining to environmental impacts outside the safety area.
With respect to public participation in the open portion of the meeting, the following requirements shall apply:
