Open Enforcement Conference Trial Program
~ .
g 3 Begins
= c .
2 i The NRC has implemented a two-year trial program to allow lii selected enforcement conferences to be open to attendance by
'O members of:he general public. Enforcement conferences are NRC 7 staff meetings at which proposed enforcement actions resulting h from apparent viohtions of NRC regulations are discussed with 62 licensees.
The NRC's current policy is that enforcement conferences are not normally open to the public. Following the trial program that began July 10,1992, the NRC will decide if it should maintain the current y poficy or adopt a new policy that would allow the public to attend
- f most enforcement conferences.
E
- . During the trial period, the NRC plans to hold open conferences E for one-fourth of the eligible enforcement conferences.At least one
!! open conference will be conducted in each regional office, and a Y variety of licensee types (commercial reactors, hospitals, 5 universities, etc.) will be represented.
n:
.% Certain enforcement conferences will not be open to the public.
E For example, the enforcement conference will not be open to the t
r
( g public if the action being contemplated is to be taken against an mdividual or if personnel failures are involved and the particular
- individuals have been requested to be present. Enforcement conferences involving medical misadnunistrctions or overexposures will be open assuming the conference can be conducted without disclosing the name of the individual involved in the misadmiriistntion or overexposure.
E As soon as an open enforcement conference is scheduled, a notice is posted in the Public Document Room in Washington, D.C., and Q[ a message is placed on the public meeting notice system. The public meeting notice system provides a recorded announcement E of scheduled open enforcement conferences. Members of the 3 public can call a toll-free telephone number to hear the recording.
C rhat number is 800-952-9674. Persons interested in attending the 5 conference will be asked to advise the staff in advance and will be E told the name and telephone number of the person they should J p contact. The announcement is updated each time a new y d enforcement conference is scheduled.
. .h 3 3 The open enfc: cement conferences are usually held at the NRC g- i regional offices.The address will be given in the recorded message, m = as well as the date and time of the meeting. Members of the public Q h will be allowed access to the regional offices to attend open E N enforcement conferences, although visitors may be subject to 5 E personal screening. The conferences are open for public j
E
} observance only, not for public participation.
