Mr. Leyse, my name is Bob Pence.  I am the Federal  Coordinator forthe INL EM CAB.  My responsibility  is to provide support to Jack Zimmerman and the INL  EM CAB.  As such I am responding to your request  for time to present a slide presentation at our next  Boardmeeting in Sun Valley on October 29th.  Pursuant  to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA),   41 CFR and the DOE Manual onadvisory committee  activities, “any member of the public may speak to or otherwise address the advisory committee, if the  agency guidelines permit, to include filing a written  statement with the committee.”  In accordance with  these regulations and guidelines and  our procedures and charter, we provide for a 15 minute Public Involvement opportunity, at all of our public meetings.  During the  October 29th meeting in Sun Valley, that opportunity  is in the afternoon from 1530 to 1545.  You will be  required to sign up in order to make a statement during  the PublicInvolvement Period.  There are 15 minutes  available for this comment period.  The time will be  shared, on an equal basis, between all those signing up.   This is an opportunity to make a public statement, but it is not an opportunity to make a slide presentation.  However,  you can alternatively choose to file a copy of your slides  with the Board.  Your comments will be part of the public  record for this meeting.  As detailed in the afore referenced regulations, you can make a statement,but it is NOT an  open forum for questions and answers, by the Board and or other participants. Please feel free to contact me if there are additional questions  that youhave in this regard.  We look forward to your  participation with us during the upcoming meeting. Thank You. Bob Pence, Federal Coordinator INL EM CAB DOE-ICP
