Pilot Program Evaluation Panel; Meeting Notice

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act of October 6, 1972 
(Pub. L. 94-463, Stat. 770-776) the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) announced the establishment of the Pilot Program Evaluation Panel 
(PPEP). The PPEP will function as a management-level Oversight group to 
monitor and evaluate the success of the Commission's Reactor Oversight 
Process Improvements program. A Charter governing the PPEP functions as 
a Federal Advisory Committee was filed with Congress on June 30, 1999, 
after consultation with the Committee Management Secretariat, General 
Services Administration. The PPEP will hold its forthcoming meetings on 
December 8 and 9, 1999, at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
Headquarters, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, Room T-2
