Closed NRC Meeting With Short Notice
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission held a closed meeting on March 4, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss an adjudicatory matter, and by a 5-0 vote the Commission determined the meeting would be held with less than one week public notice under 5 U.S.C. 552b(e)(1) and 10 CFR 9.107. The meeting status is 'Closed,' so the public could not attend or observe that session.
Reasonable Accommodations Offered
The NRC states it provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities for public meetings and meeting materials (e.g., Braille, large print) on a case-by-case basis. The notice gives an email contact for the Reasonable Accommodations Resource to request an accommodation.
Public Can Request Electronic Updates
Members of the public may request to receive NRC meeting information electronically by contacting the Office of the Secretary at 301-415-1969 or by email (contacts provided in the notice). This allows people to be added to the distribution for meeting notices and updates.
