and Training Administration.

BILLING CODE 4510–FR–P
The Advisory Committee on
Apprenticeship (ACA) is an advisory
group to the Secretary of Labor, whose
objective is to make recommendations
on how to strengthen the Registered
Apprenticeship system. The Charter is
required to be renewed every two years;
the current Charter expires February 20,
2009. The committee’s
recommendations and accomplishments
have and continue to help ETA and the
Secretary to transform and expand the
apprenticeship model. The current
Charter is being renewed with changes
to the terms of members.
The Charter is amended to better
clarify the Secretary’s authority to
reappoint Committee members prior to
the expiration of their terms. We have
added introductory language to state
that ‘‘to the extent practicable, members
shall be appointed according to the
terms of this section. However, all
Committee members shall serve at the
pleasure of the Secretary and members
may be appointed, reappointed, and/or
replaced, and their terms may be
extended, changed, or terminated as the
Secretary sees fit.’’
In addition, the 2007 Charter states
that ‘‘ * * * the expiration date of the
2-year terms shall coincide with the
termination of the Charter, and the 1year terms shall expire one month prior
to the termination of the Charter.’’ For
clarity in the language, and appropriate
termination of membership terms, this
section was revised to read: ‘‘* * *
When the Charter is renewed prior to its
VerDate Nov<24>2008
expiration date, the terms will continue
for the period specified in the invitation
unless either the term or the Charter is
terminated by the Secretary. When the
Charter is not renewed prior to its
expiration date, the terms offered under
that Charter shall expire upon
termination of the Charter.’’ Finally, we
have made a few grammatical
corrections to this section.

BILLING CODE 7510–13–P
NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos.: 50–327, 50–328; License
Nos.: DPR–77, DPR–79; EA–08–211; NRC–
2009–0006]
In the Matter of Tennessee Valley
Authority, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant;
Confirmatory Order (Effective
Immediately)
I
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA or
Licensee) is the holder of Operating
License Nos. DPR–77 and DPR–79,
issued by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or Commission)
pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 on
September 17, 1980, and September 15,
1981, respectively. The license
authorizes the operation of Sequoyah
Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, (Sequoyah
or facility) in accordance with
conditions specified therein. The
facility is located on the Licensee’s site
in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee.
This Confirmatory Order is the result
of an agreement reached during an
alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
mediation session conducted on
September 22, 2008.
II
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
On April 18, 2008, the NRC’s Office
of Investigations (OI) completed an
investigation (OI Case No. 2–2007–025)
regarding activities at the Sequoyah
Nuclear Plant. Based on the evidence
developed during the investigation, the
NRC staff concluded that on May 31,
2007, a contract security sergeant at
Sequoyah deliberately falsified an
equipment inventory form, and caused
TVA to be in apparent violation of NRC
and licensee requirements, including 10
CFR 50.9(a), Completeness and
Accuracy of Information, the Sequoyah
Physical Security Plan, and
implementing procedure NSDP–26,
Weapons Accountability. The results of
the investigation were sent to TVA in a
letter dated August 15, 2008.
III
On September 22, 2008, the NRC and
TVA met in an ADR session mediated
by a professional mediator, arranged
through Cornell University’s Institute on
Conflict Resolution. ADR is a process in
which a neutral mediator with no
VerDate Nov<24>2008
19:02 Jan 15, 2009
Jkt 217001
decision-making authority assists the
parties in reaching an agreement or
resolving any differences regarding their
dispute. This confirmatory order is
issued pursuant to the agreement
reached during the ADR process. The
elements of the agreement consist of the
following:
1. The NRC and TVA agreed that a
contract security supervisor at Sequoyah
failed to conduct an adequate inventory
of security equipment. To conceal the
inadequate inventory, the supervisor
deliberately destroyed the record of the
inventory, and falsified a newly created
record that replaced the destroyed
document. These actions placed TVA in
violation of 10 CFR 50.9(a), the
Sequoyah Physical Security Plan, and
Sequoyah Procedure NSDP–26.
2. Based on TVA’s review of the
incident and NRC concerns with respect
to precluding recurrence of the
violation, TVA agreed to corrective
actions and enhancements, as fully
delineated in Section V of the
Confirmatory Order.
3. At the ADR session, the NRC and
TVA agreed that the above elements
involving the violation, and TVA’s
corrective actions and enhancements as
delineated in Section V, will be
incorporated into a Confirmatory Order.
The resulting Confirmatory Order will
beconsidered by the NRC for any
assessment of Sequoyah, as appropriate.
4. In consideration of the
commitments delineated in Section V of
this Confirmatory Order, the NRC
agreed to refrain from proposing a civil
penalty or issuing a Notice of Violation
for all matters discussed in the NRC’s
letter to TVA of August 15, 2008 (EA–
08–211).
5. This agreement is binding upon
successors and assigns of the Sequoyah
Nuclear Plant and TVA.
On December 12, 2008, the Licensee
consented to issuance of this Order with
the commitments, as described in
Section V below. The Licensee further
agreed that this Order is to be effective
upon issuance and that it has waived its
right to a hearing.
IV
Since the licensee has agreed to take
actions to address the violation as set
forth in Section III above, the NRC has
concluded that its concerns can be
resolved through issuance of this Order.
I find that the Licensee’s
commitments as set forth in Section V
are acceptable and necessary and
conclude that with these commitments
the public health and safety are
reasonably assured. In view of the
foregoing, I have determined that public
health and safety require that the
PO 00000
Frm 00113
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
3103
Licensee’s commitments be confirmed
by this Order. Based on the above and
the Licensee’s consent, this Order is
immediately effective upon issuance.
V
Accordingly, pursuant to Sections
104b, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended, and the Commission’s
regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR
Part 50, It is hereby ordered, effective
immediately, that License Nos. DPR–77
and DPR–79 are modified as follows:
a. TVA will ensure that site security
procedures for all TVA nuclear sites are
revised such that original documents
required to be maintained by site
security procedures are not destroyed,
and are retained in accordance with
regulatory requirements.
b. As part of first line supervisory
training for security supervisors, TVA
will provide fleet-wide training related
to Civil Treatment/Ethics, Roles of the
Supervisor, Communication in the
Workplace, Standards of Conduct,
Coaching and Counseling Employees,
Operational Issues and Operating
Experience, Leadership, Administration,
Client Interface/Service, Regulatory
Reporting Requirements, Safety, and
Security Observation Program. Upon
completion of TVA’s transition to an inhouse security force, TVA will ensure
that security supervisors receive
training consistent with first line
supervisors in other disciplines.
c. TVA will ensure that security
personnel at all TVA nuclear sites
receive annual training on the use of
TVA’s internal programs for resolution
of issues/deficiencies (e.g., Corrective
Action Program, Employees Concerns
Program), consistent with training
received by TVA personnel requiring
unescorted access to the TVA nuclear
sites.
d. Beginning within 30 days of the
issuance of this Confirmatory Order,
TVA will conduct a minimum of 15
observations of Sequoyah security
activities each month, until TVA
transitions to an in-house security force.
e. TVA agrees to complete items V.a
through V.d above no later than
September 30, 2009.
f. During TVA’s transition to an inhouse security force, each TVA nuclear
site will conduct meetings at a
minimum of twice each month with the
security contractor, to monitor the status
of corrective actions associated with the
Security Independent Evaluation
referenced below.
g. TVA will assess the effectiveness of
the corrective actions and
enhancements identified in its Security
Independent Evaluation, and the results
