Joining me are the other currently serving members of the Commission. May I have each Commissioner affirm their presence when I call their name. Commissioner Baran.

Madam Secretary, I believe we have one item for affirmation this afternoon. Would you please lead the Commission through?
ANNETTE VIETTI-COOK: Yes. Todays item is SECY-21-0105, Final Rule: Controlled Unclassified Information.
4 The Commission is being asked to act on a final rule amending Part 2 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, to account for the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commissions implementation of Part 2002 of Title 32 of Code of Federal Regulations, Controlled Unclassified Information, and the associated discontinuance of the NRCs sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information program. The final rule also makes minor nomenclature revisions to 10 CFR Part 2 to remove references to sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information.
The Commission has voted to approve the publication and implementation of this final rule. Would you please affirm your votes after I call your name? Chairman Hanson.

CHAIRMAN HANSON: Thank you Madam Secretary. Would any of the members of the Commission like to make comments regarding the decisions just issued? No? Well, okay, let me just say one more time - I think we had an affirmation session just ten days ago and we thought at the time that that was our Secretarys last, but today is her last day in the agency and in serving the American public. Id like to take one final opportunity to thank you for your incredible service to the nation, your professionalism and the tremendous amount of joy you have brought both to this job and to all of the rest of us. Thank you again.
