Sec. 1.15  Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel.

    The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, established pursuant to 
section 191 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, conducts 
hearings for the Commission and such other regulatory functions as the 
Commission authorizes. The Panel is comprised of any number of 
Administrative Judges (full-time and part-time), who may be lawyers, 
physicists, engineers, and environmental scientists; and Administrative 
Law Judges, who hear antitrust, civil penalty, and other cases and serve 
as Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Chairmen. The Chief Administrative 
Judge develops and applies procedures governing the activities of 
Boards, Administrative Judges, and Administrative Law Judges and makes 
appropriate recommendations to the Commission concerning the rules 
governing the conduct of hearings. The Panel conducts all licensing and 
other hearings as directed by the Commission primarily through 
individual Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards composed of one or three 
Administrative Judges. Those boards are appointed by either the 
Commission or the Chief Administrative Judge.
