ACTION: Public meeting; request for comments. AGENCY: jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Background The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) plans to conduct a public meeting on November 8, 2011, in Rockville, Maryland, to solicit feedback from its stakeholders on its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program in the NRC’s Office of Enforcement (OE). OE oversees, manages, participates, and develops guidance for this program. The meeting will be composed of panel discussions addressing implementation of the ADR Program and whether changes could be made to the program to make it more effective, transparent, and efficient. Panel discussions will be followed by opportunities for other meeting participants to ask questions and/or provide comments. SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:32 Oct 14, 2011 Jkt 226001 Submit comments by January 17, 2012. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to assure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. ADDRESSES: Please include Docket ID NRC–2011–0208 in the subject line of your comments.

Both of these individuals can also be contacted by mail at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Enforcement, Concerns Resolution Branch, Washington, DC 20555–0001. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: On September 6, 2011 (76 FR 55136), the NRC announced its intention to hold a public meeting addressing implementation of its ADR Program in the Federal Register (ADAMS Accession No. ML11237A115), and solicited nominations of individuals to participate on a panel to discuss various aspects of the program’s effectiveness, transparency, and efficiency, as well as several specific questions that the NRC is including in this Federal Register notice (FRN) for public comment. The NRC’s ADR Program is comprised of two entirely different sub-programs; the first is pre-investigation (commonly referred to as ‘‘Early ADR’’) and the second is post-investigation. The early ADR Program provides an individual PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and his or her employer (or former employer) the opportunity to resolve the individual’s allegation of discrimination through mediation rather than to fully litigate the discrimination allegation or have the NRC initiate an investigation into the allegation of discrimination. Mediation is an informal and voluntary process between an individual and his or her employer (or former employer) in which a trained mediator works with the parties to help them settle their dispute. Early resolution of discrimination allegations tends to preserve relationships and generally promotes a safety conscious work environment by facilitating timely and amicable resolution of discrimination concerns without resorting to prolonged litigation and unnecessary expenses. The second sub-program (commonly referred to as ‘‘Post-Investigation ADR’’) refers to the use of mediation after the completion of an investigation by the NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI) and the staff’s conclusion that the pursuit of an enforcement action appears warranted. It is offered at three stages after the completion of an investigation by OI: (1) Before an initial enforcement action; (2) after the initial enforcement action is taken, typically upon issuance of a notice of violation; and (3) when a civil penalty is imposed but before a hearing request. Post-investigation ADR may produce more timely and effective outcomes for the NRC and an entity (e.g., an NRC licensee, certificate holder, or contractor of an NRC licensee or certificate holder) or an individual who is subject to an enforcement action. Participation in either early or postinvestigation ADR is entirely voluntary. The parties involved may withdraw from the mediation process at any time. If mediation is unsuccessful in the case of early ADR, the OI may initiate an investigation into the allegation of discrimination; while, in the case of post-investigation ADR, the NRC may proceed with an enforcement action. II. Purpose of the Public Meeting The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum in which stakeholders, including the NRC, can discuss the NRC’s current ADR Program (early ADR and post-investigation ADR). The ADR Program has become an important aspect of the NRC’s enforcement program. Because ADR is regularly used in the NRC’s enforcement program, the NRC believes it should solicit stakeholder input to ensure that the program provides timely and economical resolution of issues while achieving more effective outcomes and improved relations.
