CHAIR The President The White House Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 22, 2022 On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to Executive Order 1407 4, "Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety," dated May 25, 2022. Specifically, this letter will address section 2, subsection (d), "Ensuring Timely Investigations," and section 2, subsection (f), "Ensuring Timely and Consistent Discipline," as applicable to the Federal law enforcement officers employed by the NRC.
Executive Order 14074, section 2, subsection (d), directed the heads of all Federal law enforcement agencies to assess whether any of the agency's policies or procedures cause unwarranted delay in investigations of Federal law enforcement officers for incidents involving the use of deadly force or deaths in custody, including delays in interagency jurisdictional determinations and subject and witness interviews, and, without abrogating any collective bargaining obligations, to make changes as appropriate to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of such investigations. Within the NRC, two organizational units-the Office of Investigations (01) and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG)-employ officers possessing the authorities and responsibilities referred to in the definition of "Federal law enforcement agency" in Executive Order 14074. The NRC has determined that no 01 or OIG policies or procedures would cause unwarranted delay in these types of investigations.
Executive Order 1407 4, section 2, subsection (f), directed the heads of all Federal law enforcement agencies to assess whether any of their respective agency's policies or procedures cause unwarranted delay or inconsistent application of discipline for incidents involving the use of deadly force or deaths in custody and, without abrogating any collective bargaining obligations, to make changes as appropriate. The NRC has determined that no policies or procedures would cause unwarranted delay or inconsistent application of discipline in these types of incidents.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me by phone at (301) 415-1750.
Sincerely, Christopher T. Hanson
Identical letter sent to:
The President The White House Washington, DC 20500 The Honorable Kamala D. Harris President of the Senate Washington, DC 20510
