MEMORANDUM FOR:

Mark J. Flynn Divisi n-of C tract,s C

AL FROM:

Marvin C. Ga'ske, Deputy Executive Director

SUBJECT:

REPORTER SERVICE FOR ACRS MEETINGS You inquired regarding the previous experience of this office with the use of a "Small Business" contractor for transcribing / reporting of ACRS meetings.

The service provided was not satisfactory.

Some of the problems encounterd are as follows:

1.

There were too few employees so that a transcriber would have to work all day and then through the night to produce "next day" copics. This contributed to the poor quality of the transcripts.

2.

The transcribers were unfamiliar with the terminology used and the names of the ACRS Members and NRC Staff Members.

(This is a problem that is exaserbated when meetings are held out of town and a local subcontractor is used).

This also resulted in the poor quality of transcripts.

3.

The type of equipment used was not standardized.

As a result, consider-able comotion took place, disturbing meetings, when a transcriber was relieved by another person and various microphones and wiring had to be removed and installed during a meeting.
