SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On August 30, 2021 (86 FR 48295), the DNFSB published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 1704 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations implementing the Government in the Sunshine Act. The Sunshine Act generally requires Board meetings to be open to public observation unless certain exemptions apply. The NDAA added a provision to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA) that permits the Board to hold nonpublic collaborative discussions without following the requirements of the Sunshine Act, so long as certain requirements are met. The Board published this direct final rule to revise the Board's Sunshine Act regulations consistent with the new AEA provisions for nonpublic collaborative discussions.
