Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Notices ADR is increasingly used in enforcement, the NRC believes it is time to examine our implementation of this program. This meeting will allow stakeholders to provide feedback regarding their perceptions of the ADR program’s effectiveness, transparency, and timeliness, to include, for example, identifying criteria for determining whether early ADR and/or postinvestigation ADR should be offered in specific cases; and whether additional criteria should be developed for offering early ADR for violations other than discrimination and post-investigation ADR for violations that do not involve wrongdoing. To ensure that this process is open, effective, and collaborative, the format of the meeting will consist of panel discussions among stakeholders, including a representative from the NRC, representatives from NRCregulated nuclear industries, publicinterest groups, and members of the public. The panel discussions will be followed by interactive discussions with other meeting attendees. The NRC is requesting that individuals or organizations with an interest in this initiative nominate/self-nominate individuals to participate in the panel discussions. Nominations and requests to participate in the panel discussions are requested by September 16, 2011. Nominations should 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 meeting where there will be opportunities to offer input. The public meeting will be held at the NRC Headquarters building located at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852. Because on-street parking is extremely limited, the most convenient transportation to the meeting is via Metro’s Red Line to the White Flint Stop which is directly across the street from NRC Headquarters. Please allow time to register with building security upon entering the building. Those unable to travel and attend in person may participate by Webinar. The meeting notices on the NRC Public Meeting Schedule Web site will provide information on how those unable to participate in person may do so via Webinar.

The petition was filed by Michael Brayen (Petitioner) and is postmarked August 18, 2011. The Commission hereby institutes a proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5) and establishes Docket No. A2011–55 to consider Petitioner’s appeal. If Petitioner would like to further explain his position with supplemental information or facts, Petitioner may either file a Participant Statement on PRC Form 61 or file a brief with the Commission no later than September 30, 2011. Categories of issues apparently raised. Petitioner contends that: (1) The Postal Service failed to consider the effect of the closing on the community (see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(i)); and (2) the Postal Service failed to adequately consider the economic savings resulting from the closure (see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(iv)). After the Postal Service files the administrative record and the Commission reviews it, the Commission may find that there are more legal issues than those set forth above, or that the Postal Service’s determination disposes of one or more of those issues. The deadline for the Postal Service to file the applicable administrative record with the Commission is September 12, 2011. See 39 CFR 3001.113. In addition, the due date for any responsive pleading by the Postal Service to this Notice is September 12, 2011. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1
