LETTER NOMINATING NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF TO THE AMERICAN NUCLEAR SOCIETY STANDARDS BOARD
Dear Dr. Sowder,
I would like to nominate Mr. Benjamin Parks as an authorized U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) representative to the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Standards Board (SB). Mr. Parks is being nominated to replace Dr. Mehdi Reisi Fard, who has been appointed to a senior executive position within the NRC. Mr. Parks has the necessary expertise and experience to support the work of the ANS SB and is being nominated to replace Dr. Reisi Fard after the June 18, 2024, ANS SB meeting. In addition, I would like to nominate Ms. Leah Parks as an NRC non-voting observer to the ANS SB. Ms. Parks is being nominated to replace Mr. Robert Roche-Rivera.
In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-119, "Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities," dated January 27, 2016, the participation on a committee of an NRC-authorized representative does not connote agency agreement with, or endorsement of, decisions reached by the committee, or of standards approved and published as a result of the committees efforts. Agency representatives participating on consensus standards developing groups will, to the extent possible, ascertain the views of the agency on matters of interest and will express views that are consistent with established agency views.
However, the NRCs endorsement of these standards, if desired by the NRC, would be part of a separate activity such as incorporation by reference into rulemaking or endorsement in an NRC regulatory guide.
Correspondence to these nominated individuals should be addressed to:
