    The ACRS Subcommittees on Reliability and Probabilistic Risk 
Assessment and on Plant Operations will hold a joint meeting on 
November 1, 2002, Room T-2B3, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville,

business.
    The joint Subcommittees will be briefed by the staff on progress 
related to two risk-informed regulatory programs under the scope of the 
Reactor Oversight Program (ROP), namely: (a) efforts to develop risk-
informed improvements to the technical specifications, and (b) progress 
related to the Industry Trends Program (ITP) index for initiating 
events. This joint Subcommittee meeting is a follow-up to a prior 
briefing on the ROP at the 493rd meeting of the ACRS on June 6, 2002. 
The purpose of this meeting is to gather information, analyze relevant 
issues and facts, and formulate proposed positions and actions, as 
appropriate, for deliberation by the full Committee.
    Oral statements may be presented by members of the public with the 
concurrence of the Subcommittee Chairman; written statements will be 
accepted and made available to the Committee. Persons desiring to make 
oral statements should notify one of the staff engineers named below 
five days prior to the meeting, if possible, so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made. Electronic recordings will be permitted only 
during those portions of the meeting that are open to the public.
    During the initial portion of the meeting, the Subcommittees, along 
with any of their consultants who may be present, may exchange 
preliminary views regarding matters to be considered during the balance 
of the meeting.
    The Subcommittees will then hear presentations by and hold 
discussions with representatives of the NRC staff and other interested 
persons regarding these matters.
    Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the 
meeting has been canceled or rescheduled, and the Chairman's ruling on 
requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the time 
allotted therefor can be obtained by contacting Ms. Maggalean W. Weston
