MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED:

January 16, 2019, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., Open Meeting

The implicit and explicit recommendations captured in the National Academy of Public Administration's Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board Organizational Assessment and recent Inspector General recommendations concerning the effectiveness of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

February 7, 2019, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., Closed Meeting

Board Members will discuss issues dealing with potential Recommendations to the Secretary of Energy. The Board is invoking the exemptions to close a meeting described in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3) and (9)(B) and 10 CFR 1704.4(c) and (h). The Board has determined that it is necessary to close the meeting since conducting an open meeting is likely to disclose matters that are specifically exempted from disclosure by statute, and/or be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. In this case, the deliberations will pertain to potential Board Recommendations which, under 42 U.S.C. 2286d(b) and (h)(3), may not be made publicly available until after they have been received by the Secretary of Energy or the President, respectively.
