SUBJECT:
LETTER NOMINATING NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF TO THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS SECTION XI, SECTION III, NUCLEAR QUALITY ASSURANCE, BOARD ON PRESSURE TECHNOLOGY CODES AND STANDARDS, BOARD ON CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT, AND BOARD ON NUCLEAR, CLEAN ENERGY, POWER, AND FACILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS
Dear Mr. Finney et al.,
I would like to nominate several U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to be the authorized NRC representatives or alternates on various American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) committees, subgroups, and working groups under the ASME Board on Nuclear, Clean Energy, Power, and Facilities Code and Standards (BNCS), ASME Section III Committee on Construction of Nuclear Facility Components, ASME Section XI Committee on Nuclear Inservice Inspection, ASME Board on Pressure Technology Codes and Standards (BPTCS), ASME Board on Conformity Assessment (BCA) and ASME Committee on Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA). Enclosure 1 lists the NRC staff nomination as authorized NRC representatives or alternatives. Those nominees that do not yet have ASME PF-1 and PAF forms on file, have been instructed to submit those forms directly to ASME upon issuance of this letter.
February 10, 2026
N. Finney et al.
2 If not yet granted, we request that individuals listed in Enclosure 1 be given access to C&S Connect. The NRC acknowledges that, for those identified members or alternates participating in voting committees, only one of those individuals is permitted to vote on a given ballot.
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:
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: [NRC Staff Name]
Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Contact information for the nominated individuals is provided in Enclosure 2.
Thank you very much for providing the NRC with the opportunity to participate in the work of your ASME committees, subgroups, and working groups.
Sincerely, Christian Araguas, NRC Standards Executive Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research
