boundary to provide a deciduous and
hardwood forest buffer to protect the
estuarine areas used for research and
education.
The 1991 Management Plan proposed
a multi-phased expansion of the reserve
that started with the four sites on the
York River and planned to incorporate
over 20 sites throughout Virginia to
ensure adequate representation of
Virginian estuarine areas important to
the Chesapeake Bay. This expansion has
not occurred since 1991. Due to the
anticipated logistical, economic, and
programmatic difficulties of having over
20 sites administered as part of the
National Estuarine Research Reserve,
the 2008 Management Plan focuses on
the York River for the next five years.

DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES
SAFETY BOARD
Sunshine Act Notice
Defense Nuclear Facilities
Safety Board.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of
the ‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’
(5 U.S.C. 552b), notice is hereby given
of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety
Board’s (Board) public hearing and
meeting described below. The Board
will conduct a public hearing and
meeting pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2286b
and invites any interested persons or
groups to present any comments,
technical information, or data
concerning safety issues related to the
matters to be considered.
Time and Date of Meeting: 9 a.m.,
December 5, 2008.
Place: Defense Nuclear Facilities
Safety Board, Public Hearing Room, 625
Indiana Avenue, NW., Suite 300,
Washington, DC 20004–2001.
Additionally, as a part of the Board’s EGovernment initiative, the meeting will
be presented live through Internet video
streaming. A link to the presentation
will be available on the Board’s Web site
(https://www.dnfsb.gov).
Status: Open. While the Government
in the Sunshine Act does not require
that the scheduled discussion be
conducted in a meeting, the Board has
determined that an open meeting in this
specific case furthers the public
interests underlying both the Sunshine
Act and the Board’s enabling legislation.
Matters to be Considered: This public
hearing and meeting is the fourth in a
series concerning the Department of
Energy’s (DOE) and National Nuclear
Security Administration’s (NNSA)
incorporation of safety into the design
and construction of new DOE defense
nuclear facilities and into major
modification of existing facilities. The
Board is responsible, pursuant to its
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
statutory charter, to review and evaluate
the content and implementation of
standards relating to the design and
construction of such facilities. This
public hearing and meeting is a
continuation of the Board’s interest in
integrating safety early into the design
process. During the Board’s initial
public hearing on this subject on
December 7, 2005, the Board focused on
the adequacy of DOE’s existing
directives related to the design of new
facilities. In preparation for that hearing,
DOE outlined its expectations for
integrating safety into design and
established a framework for achieving
needed improvements. During the
second public hearing on July 19, 2006,
the Board further explored integration of
safety into design and the progress being
made in implementing DOE’s safety in
design initiatives. During the third
public hearing and meeting on March
27, 2007, the Board considered early
issue identification, communication of
Board issues to DOE, issue management,
and early resolution and closure of
design related safety issues. The third
hearing also addressed the
implementation status of DOE Order
413.3, Program and Project Management
for the Acquisition of Capital Assets,
DOE Standard (STD)–1189, Integration
of Safety into the Design Process, the
revision of DOE Manual 413.3–1, and
lessons learned with respect to
incorporating safety in design at two
major Federal projects, the Waste
Treatment Plant (WTP) project and the
Chemistry and Metallurgy Research
Replacement (CMRR) project. This
fourth public hearing and meeting will
consider implementation of the revised
DOE Order 413.3, the related guidance
contained in DOE–STD–1189, and
commitments made in the July 19, 2007,
joint DOE and Board report to Congress
titled, Improving the Identification and
Resolution of Safety Issues During the
Design and Construction of DOE
Defense Nuclear Facilities, as those
commitments relate to early issue
identification, communication of Board
issues to DOE, issue management, and
early resolution and closure of design
related safety issues. This hearing and
meeting is intended to further assist the
Board and DOE in their collective efforts
to evaluate any needed improvements in
the timeliness of issue resolution. The
Board again expects to hear
presentations from both DOE and NNSA
senior management officials concerning
integration of safety into design. The
Board may also collect any other
information relevant to health or safety
of the workers and the public, with
respect to safety in design, that may
