RECOMMENDATION/JUSTIFICATIONS

Agency Recommendation*	Continue
Legislation to Terminate Required
Legislation Status	Not Applicable
How does cmte accomplish its purpose?*	The NRC staff believes that licensees, the general public, and medical professionals benefit when recognized experts provide advice to the staff. This advice enables staff to develop rules that will maintain public safety, while not inappropriately intruding upon the practice of medicine. The staff provides a summary of issues to be addressed during meetings, and the ACMUI discusses the issues and gives advice and makes recommendations to the staff. Furthermore, the ACMUI keeps staff abreast of new developments. This ongoing communication helps ensure that staff is aware of important issues during critical stages of rule and guidance development. When issues that need special emphasis arise, working groups and subcommittees are formed.
How is membership balanced?*	Membership is balanced by placing individuals of diverse specialty on the committee. For instance, there are members who represent both diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medicine. There are members who have a regulatory function within their specialties. There is a member who represents medicine from an administrative standpoint, and there is a patient advocate member, who represents patients' interests. ACMUI members also perform regular self-evaluations, in which they give feedback on the appropriateness of the committee's composition.
How frequent & relevant are cmte mtgs?*	Committee meetings are generally held semi-annually. The committee will hold more frequent meetings when important issues emerge or when issues need timely resolution.
Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*	The NRC continues to strive to achieve its goal of creating risk-informed, performance-based regulations that provide for the health and safety of the public while imposing no unnecessary burden on licensees. Furthermore, the medical profession continues to see regular advances that create unique regulatory challenges. The advice and recommendations from medical professionals who are exposed to these advances is crucial to the NRC staff's ability to continue to regulate effectively.
Why close or partially close meetings?	Meetings are closed to conduct annual ethics briefings, annual allegations training, annual information security awareness training, conduct reviews of paperwork of a personal and confidential nature, and to discuss administrative matters that are purely internal to Committee business. It would be inappropriate to conduct these types of meetings openly. They must be conducted privately to allow Committee members the freedom to ask and answer personal questions and to protect individuals' privacy.
