Important Information for Meeting Attendees

Beginning Monday, October 3, 2011, all NRC visitors to the White Flint Complex (WFC) will be required to enter through the recently renovated One White Flint North lobby (OWFN).  Only NRC badged employees and contractors will be permitted to use the Two White Flint North (TWFN) entrance. NRC staff will meet visitors in the OWFN lobby waiting area and escort them from there.

The NRC provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities where appropriate. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in a meeting or need a meeting notice or the transcript or other information from a meeting in another format (e.g. braille, large print), please contact Anne Silk, NRC Reasonable Accommodation Coordinator, at Anne.Silk@nrc.gov or call directly at 301-287-0745. Determinations on requests for reasonable accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis. Ten (10) days’ advance notice is requested to try to ensure availability; however, every effort will be made to address a request for reasonable accommodations with less notice.

If you plan to participate in the meeting, in person or otherwise,--

• Meetings are sometimes canceled or rescheduled as a result of unforeseen circumstances. Confirm the meeting date, time, and schedule.
