Mr. Kuhn was the holder of RO License Number OP– 11276–1, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) pursuant to 10 CFR Part 55. The license authorized Mr. Kuhn to manipulate the controls of the facility. At Exelon’s request, the license was terminated on July 31, 2008. This Confirmatory Order (Order) is the result of an agreement reached during an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mediation session conducted on September 24, 2009. ADR is a process in which a neutral mediator with no decision-making authority assists parties in reaching an agreement on resolving any differences regarding the dispute. II The NRC Office of Investigations (OI) initiated an investigation on May 5, 2008 to determine whether Mr. Kuhn deliberately violated NRC requirements by failing to inform Exelon of information required to be reported. Based on the evidence developed during the OI investigation, which was completed on March 4, 2009, the NRC identified an apparent willful violation. The apparent violation involved Mr. Kuhn’s failure to inform Exelon of an arrest on his first day back at work following the incident, as required by Exelon’s Behavioral Observation Program implementing procedure, the Peach Bottom Physical Security Plan, and 10 CFR 73.20(c).

encourage the establishment and maintenance of effective occupational 
safety and health programs in each Federal agency.
    FACOSH is comprised of 16 members, who the Secretary appoints for

of five to six members expire each year. The Secretary will make five 
two-year appointments to fill the CY 2009 vacancies, and five three-
year appointments to fill the CY 2010 vacancies.
    The composition of FACOSH membership and the number of new members 
to be appointed are:

Charter Renewal

    Section 7902 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code provides that the 
President may establish, by executive order, a safety council (FACOSH) 
composed of representatives of Federal agencies and labor organizations 
representing Federal employees to serve as an advisory body to the 
Secretary on issues involving the occupational safety and health of the 
federal workforce. On September 29, 2009, President Barack Obama signed 
Executive Order 13511 authorizing the continuance of FACOSH for two 
another years, until September 30, 2011 (5 U.S.C. 7902).
    The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) requires that, upon the 
continuance or renewal of an advisory committee, a new charter be filed 
(5 U.S.C. App. Sec.  14). Pursuant to FACA and its implementing 
regulations (41 CFR Part 102-3), on November 6, 2009, the Secretary 
renewed the FACOSH charter, which expired on September 30, 2009. The 
new FACOSH charter will expire on September 30, 2011, unless the 
Secretary terminates it prior to that date.
