NOTES:
Breaks are at the discretion of the Subcommittee Chairman In accordance with the purposes of Sections 29 and 182b of the Atomic Energy Act (42 U.S.C. 2039, 2232(b)), the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) will hold this Subcommittee meeting. In addition, the ACRS is implementing Executive Order (EO) 14300, Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, dated May 23, 2025. Section 4.(b) of the EO states, in part, that the functions of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) shall be reduced to the minimum necessary to fulfill ACRSs statutory obligations and that review by ACRS of permitting and licensing issues shall focus on issues that are truly novel and noteworthy. The ACRS will only undertake other work as directed by the Commission in accordance with Sections 29 and 182b of the Atomic Energy Act.
Federal Register Notice 90 FR 34522 (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-07-22/pdf/2025-13691.pdf) dated July 22, 2025, describes procedures to be followed with respect to meetings conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and NRC implementing regulations found at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 7, Advisory Committees.

When appropriate, members of the public and representatives of the nuclear industry may provide their views during the briefings.

Public comments should be limited to 3-5 minutes each.

NRC staff should ensure presentations are publicly available, if applicable, and declared in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) three (3) full working days before the ACRS meeting so the material can be posted in the NRCs public meeting notification system.
