- (a) The DNFSB will maintain an electronic reading room on its public Web site at https://www.dnfsb.gov/foia-reading-room. Records may be obtained by accessing and downloading them from the electronic reading room. The electronic reading room is intended to provide easy accessibility to a substantial collection of the agency's records. The agency considers the records available through its electronic reading room to have been placed in the public domain.
- (b) The public records of the agency that are available in the electronic reading room or through links from the electronic reading room include:
  - (1) The Board's rules and regulations;
  - (2) **Statements of policy adopted by the Board.**
  - (3) Board recommendations; the Secretary of Energy's response, any final decision, and implementation plans regarding Board recommendations; and interested person's comments, data, views, or arguments to the Board concerning its recommendations and the Secretary of Energy's response and final decision;
  - (4) Transcripts of public hearings and any Board correspondence related thereto;
  - (5) Recordings or transcripts of Board meetings that were closed under [10 CFR part 1704](/cfr/10/part1704.md), where the Board subsequently determines under [10 CFR 1704.9](/cfr/10/1704.9.md) that the recordings or transcripts may be made publicly available;
  - (6) Board orders, decisions, notices, and other actions in a public hearing;
  - (7) Board correspondence, except that which is exempt from mandatory public disclosure under [10 CFR 1704.4](/cfr/10/1704.4.md).
  - (8) Copies of the filings, certifications, pleadings, records, briefs, orders, judgments, decrees, and mandates in court proceedings to which the Board is a party and the correspondence with the courts or clerks of court;
  - (9) Those of the Board's Administrative Directives that affect members of the public;
  - (10) Index of the documents identified in this section, but not including drafts thereof; and
  - (11) **Annual reports to Congress in which the Board's operations during a past fiscal year are described.**
