Meeting

    On May 2, 1997, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
received from Little Harbor Consultants, Inc. (LHC), the Independent, 
Third-Party Oversight Program (ITPOP) organization, its oversight plan 
for monitoring Northeast Nuclear Energy Company's (NNECO's) 
implementation of its employee safety concerns program. The oversight 
plan is in response to an NRC Order. On October 24, 1996, the Director 
of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation sent an Order to NNECO 
requiring (1) A comprehensive plan for resolving the Millstone station 
employees' safety concerns and (2) an independent, third-party

oversight plan is available at the Waterford Public Library, ATTN: Mr. 
Vincent Juliano, 49 Rope Ferry Road, Waterford, Connecticut, and the

    The NRC will hold a public meeting regarding the oversight plan. 
The meeting will be held in the near future at the Waterford Town Hall 
in Waterford, Connecticut. The meeting will be open to public 
attendance and will be transcribed. The NRC has elected to hold such a 
public meeting because of the public's interest.

NRC official who will limit presentations to the above subject.
