SUBJECT:
LETTER NOMINATING NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF TO THE AMERICAN NUCLEAR SOCIETY STANDARDS BOARD
Dear Dr. Sowder,
I would like to nominate Raj Iyengar as an authorized U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) representative to the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Standards Board (SB). Dr.
Iyengar is nominated to replace Mr. Benjamin Parks, who has left the NRC. Dr. Iyengar has the necessary expertise and experience to support the work of the ANS SB.
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 the nominated individuals should be addressed to:
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Dr. Raj Iyengar Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Telephone: (301) 415 - 0770 E-mail: raj.iyengar@nrc.gov July 8, 2025
A. Sowder 2
Thank you very much for providing the NRC with the opportunity to participate in the work of the ANS Standards Board.
Sincerely, Christian Araguas, NRC Standards Executive Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research cc:
