NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Nuclear Safety Research Review Committee

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of change of meeting schedule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    As previously announced, the Nuclear Safety Research Review 
Committee (NSRRC) will hold its next meeting on November 14-15, 1996. 
The purpose of the present notice is to provide a revised schedule, 
reflecting a change in the meeting time for the second day of the 
meeting. The meeting will now take place from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on 
the 14th and from 7:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. on the 15th. The location of 
the meeting will still be in Room T-10A1, Two White Flint North (TWFN) 
Building, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.
    The meeting will be held in accordance with the requirements of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and will be open to public 
attendance. The NSRRC provides advice to the Director of the Office of 
Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) on matters of overall management 
importance in the direction of the NRC's program of nuclear safety 
research. The main purpose of this meeting will be: (1) to evaluate the 
value and contributions of the NSRRC in carrying out the NRC's mission 
and to develop a set of criteria under which the performance of the 
NSRRC could be evaluated in the future; (2) to discuss the roles of the 
NSRRC and the Advisory Committee for Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) to 
determine the areas of common interest of the two Committees; and (3) 
to discuss potential overlap of on-going activities of the ACRS and 
NSRRC Committee and coordinate these activities to ensure that areas of 
joint interest are supportive and complimentary and not duplicative. As 
time permits, a discussion will be initiated on the core technical 
competence to be maintained by the NRC's Office of Research staff.
    Participants in parts of the discussion will include senior NRC 
staff and other RES technical staff as necessary.
    Members of the public may file written statements regarding any 
matter to be discussed at the meeting. Members of the public may also 
make requests to speak at the meeting, but permission to speak will be 
determined by the Committee chairperson in accordance with procedures 
established by the Committee. A verbatim transcription will be made of 
the NSRRC meeting and a copy of the transcript will be placed in the 
NRC's Public Document Room in Washington, DC.
    Any inquiries regarding this notice or any subsequent changes in 
the status and schedule of the meeting, may be made to the Designated 
Federal Officer, Dr. Jose Luis M. Cortez (telephone: [phone]), 
between 8:15 am and 5:00 pm.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 7th day of November 1996.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Andrew L. Bates,
Federal Advisory Committee Management Officer.
