[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 154 (Wednesday, August 11, 1999)] [Notices] [Page 43785] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-20686] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Seabrook Nuclear Power Station; Issuance of Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Enforcement, has issued a Director's Decision concerning a petition dated March 31, 1999, filed by Mr. David A. Lochbaum against unspecified individuals working at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station (Seabrook Station) pursuant to Section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 2.206). The petition requests that the individuals responsible for discrimination against a contract electrician at the Seabrook Nuclear Generating Station as identified in NRC Office of Investigations (OI) Report No. 1-98-005 be banned by the NRC from participation in licensed activities at and for any nuclear power plant for a period of at least five (5) years; that the individuals responsible for creating a false record to cover up the concern raised by the contract electrician as identified in the cited OI report also be banned by the NRC from participation in licensed activities at and for any nuclear power plant for a period of a least five (5) years; and that the Petitioner be permitted to attend the upcoming pre-decisional enforcement conference on this matter. The Director, Office of Enforcement, has determined that the petition should be denied for the reasons stated in the ``Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206'' (i.e., DD-99-10). While the NRC staff concluded that the foreman had engaged in wrongdoing, the Director, Office of Enforcement denied Mr. Lochbaum's request to ban the foreman from participating in licensed activities for a period of at least five years because the requested enforcement action is not appropriate based on the circumstances of the case. The Director's Decision and the Notices of Violation issued to the foreman, Williams Power Corporation, and NAESCO for the foreman's wrongdoing are available for public inspection and copying in the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street NW, Washington, DC, and on the NRC's web page at http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/PUBLIC/2206/index.html and http:// www.nrc.gov/OE/rpr/oehome4.htm respectively. A copy of the Director's Decision has been filed with the Secretary of the Commission for the Commission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206(c). As provided therein, the Director's Decision will become the final action of the Commission twenty-five days after issuance unless the Commission, on its own motion, institutes a review of the Decision within that time. Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 3rd day of August 1999. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. R. W. Borchardt, Director, Office of Enforcement.
