AGENCY: Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

ACTION: Notice of closed meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Government in the Sunshine 
Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's 
(Board) regulations implementing the Government in the Sunshine Act, 
notice is hereby given of the Board's closed meeting described below.

DATES: 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m., April 8, 2016.

[[Page 20376]]


ADDRESSES: Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, 625 Indiana Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Welch, General Manager, Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, 625 Indiana Avenue NW., Suite 700, 
Washington, DC 20004-2901, (800) 788-4016. This is a toll-free number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The meeting will be closed to the public. No 
participation from the public will be considered during the meeting.

Status

    Closed. During the closed meeting, the Board Members will discuss 
issues dealing with potential Recommendations to the Secretary of 
Energy. The Board is invoking the exemption to close a meeting 
described in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3) and (9)(B) and 10 CFR 1704.4(c) and 
(h). The Board has determined that it is necessary to close the meeting 
since conducting an open meeting is likely to disclose matters that are 
specifically exempted from disclosure by statute, and/or be likely to 
significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. In 
this case, the deliberations will pertain to potential Board 
Recommendations which, under 42 U.S.C. 2286d(b) and (h)(3), may not be 
made publicly available until after they have been received by the 
Secretary of Energy or the President, respectively.
    Matters To Be Considered: The meeting will proceed in accordance 
with the closed meeting agenda which is posted on the Board's public 
Web site at www.dnfsb.gov. Technical staff may present information to 
the Board. The Board Members are expected to conduct deliberations 
regarding potential Recommendations to the Secretary of Energy.

    Dated: April 4, 2016.
Joyce L. Connery,
Chairman.
