NRC plans to conduct a series of
workshops to maximize the
involvement of interested persons in
this effort to develop the safety culture
definition and the description/traits that
will be used to develop the final safety
culture policy statement.
(2) Background
In SECY–09–0075 (ADAMS Number
ML091130068), dated May 18, 2009, the
staff provided a draft safety culture
policy statement to the Commission for
its approval. SECY–09–0075 also
provided a response to the questions
posed in Staff Requirements
Memorandum (SRM) COMGBJ–08–0001
(ADAMS Number ML080560476). Based
on document reviews and other
information collection activities
addressing safety culture, as well as
outreach activities which included a
public meeting held on February 3,
2009, (ADAMS Number ML090270103
for the notice with topics to be
discussed and meeting summary,
ADAMS Number ML090930572), the
staff concluded the following: (1) The
Commission’s expectations for safety
culture should be published in one
policy statement entitled, ‘‘Safety
Culture Policy Statement;’’ (2) the
current Reactor Oversight Process
(ROP), which includes consideration of
cross-cutting aspects of inspection
findings, offers valuable insights into
licensee’s safety culture; (3) the staff
should enhance its safety culture
initiative for materials licensees, which
includes obtaining additional
stakeholder views on how the NRC can
increase attention to safety culture in
the materials area; and (4) the staff
should continue to engage the
Agreement States on how best to
increase the involvement of the
Agreement States and Agreement State
licensees in safety culture initiatives
(Note: The ADAMS documents
referenced in this notice are publicly
available and contain additional
information on the NRC’s safety culture
initiative, which will not be repeated in
this notice. The NRC has established a
safety culture Web site that contains
additional information on safety culture
at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/
regulatory/enforcement/safetyculture.html).
On October 16, 2009, the Commission
directed the NRC staff in SRM (SECY–
09–0075) to publish the draft safety
culture policy statement for public
comment for no less than a 90-day
public comment period. The draft safety
culture policy statement was issued for
public comment in a Federal Register
Notice (November 6, 2009, 74 FR
57525), which provides individuals and
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
organizations with an interest in nuclear
safety an opportunity to comment on
the draft safety culture policy statement.
Additionally, within the SRM, the
Commission stressed the importance it
places on engaging a broad range of
stakeholders in developing the draft
final safety culture policy statement in
order to ‘‘ensure the final policy
statement presented to the Commission
benefits from consideration of a
spectrum of views and provides the
necessary foundation for safety culture
applicable to the entire nuclear
industry.’’ Interested stakeholders may
include, for example, Agreement States,
organizations representing NRC
licensees or Agreement State licensees,
and organizations/unions established to
provide government or nuclear safety
oversight.
Publicly Available Documents:
Publicly available documents related to
this safety culture initiative can be
accessed using the following methods:

800–397–4209, or (301) 415–4737 or by
email to pdr.resource@nrc.gov.
(3) Topics for Discussion
The topics that will be discussed at
these workshops include developing a
common safety culture definition and
high-level description/traits of areas
important to safety culture. This effort
will support the development of a final
safety culture policy statement that is
transparent, understandable and
applicable to all individuals performing
or overseeing NRC-regulated industries.
(4) Agendas
Detailed agendas will be available on
the NRC Public Meeting Schedule Web
site at https://www.nrc.gov/publicinvolve/public-meetings at least ten days
prior to each workshop.
(5) Format of Workshops
To ensure that this process is open,
effective, and collaborative, the format
PO 00000
Frm 00117
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of each workshop will consist of a panel
discussions among stakeholders,
including representatives from NRCregulated nuclear industries, interest
groups such as unions, and members of
the public. The panel discussions will
be followed by an interactive discussion
with other meeting attendees. The NRC
is requesting that individuals or
organizations with an interest in nuclear
safety nominate/self-nominate
individuals to participate in the panel
discussions (e.g., nuclear power reactor
licensees, nuclear fuel cycle facility
licensees, Agreement State regulators
and so forth should each nominate one
or more individuals to speak for that
industry/group of licensees/
organizations/unions; members of the
public with a background/specific
interest in safety culture should selfnominate). Nominations and requests to
participate in the panel discussions are
requested by January 15, 2010.
Nominations should also include
information supporting the nomination
such as affiliation(s) and expertise. The
NRC will use the nominations and
information supporting the nomination
to select final participants with a goal of
ensuring a broad spectrum of views and
backgrounds. Nominated individuals
who are not selected to participate in
the panel discussions are highly
encouraged to attend the workshops,
where there will be opportunities to
offer input.

same period that benefits were paid by
the RRB or (2) wages and names and
addresses of employers who reported
wages to the State for the same period
that benefits were paid by the RRB.
The purpose of this notice is to advise
individuals applying for or receiving
benefits under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act of the use
made by the RRB of this information
obtained from State agencies by means
of a computer match.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
February 16, 2010.

include information in the following
first five categories:
Name of Participating Agencies: The
Railroad Retirement Board and agencies
of all 50 States.
Purpose of the Match: To identify
individuals who have improperly
collected benefits provided by the RRB
while earning remuneration in nonrailroad employment or while collecting
unemployment or sickness benefits paid
by a State agency.
Authority for Conducting the Match:
45 U.S.C. Sections 231(b) and 362(f) and
42 U.S.C. Section 503(c)(1).
Categories of Records and Individuals
Covered: All recipients of benefits under
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Act during a given period who reside in
the States with which the RRB has
negotiated a matching program
agreement. Records furnished by the
States are covered under Privacy Act
system of records RRB–21, Railroad
Unemployment and Sickness Insurance
Benefit System.
Inclusive Dates of the Matching
Program: Agreements with the
individual States will run for either 12
or 18 months. The number of matches
conducted with each State during the
period of the match will vary from State
to State, ranging from 2 to 4 depending
on whether the agreement provides for
matches to be conducted quarterly or
every six months.
Procedure: The RRB will furnish the
State agency a file of records. The data
elements will consist of beneficiary
identifying information, such as the
name and Social Security Number
(SSN), as well as the overall period
during which the individual received
benefits under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance. The State
agency will match on the identifying
information.
If the matching operation reveals that
the individual who had received
benefits under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act also
received either unemployment or
sickness insurance benefits from the
State for any days in the period, the
State agency will notify the RRB.
Depending on arrangements made
between the two jurisdictions, and, in
the case of State sickness benefits on the
applicable State law, either the RRB or
the State agency will attempt to recover
the amount of the duplicate payments.
If the matching operation reveals that
wages had been reported for the
individual during the requested period,
the State will notify the RRB of this fact
and furnish a breakdown of the wages
and the name and address of each
employer who reported earnings for the
individual. The RRB will then write
