it is used as the last mitigation to electrical hazards.

Other highlights include:

*Festival Volunteers Needed *
Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31, Public Affairs requests your help 
staffing its outreach tent at the Hampton Blackbeard Pirate Festival. 
Through the new festival program, we hope to spread awareness in Hampton 
Roads about Jefferson Lab's work and its role in the national lab 
system. You'll help by assisting with children's activities, talking 
about the lab and handing out information. On each of the two days, 
Public Affairs will need volunteer help in four-hour blocks: from 10 
a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. If you can join us, please 
e-mail Mike Robbins at mrobbins at jlab.org or call x7617.

*Lab-wide Annual Property Inventory Will Take Place June 1 – July 31*
The laboratory’s annual property inventory will start the week of June 1 
and run through July 31, 2015. The property manager has randomly 
selected 20 percent of Jefferson Lab's property custodians for this 
year's property inventory. Those custodians will be contacted by a 
member of the property staff. Any custodians that did not complete their 
annual property validation will also be included in the inventory group 
for this year. As of May 19, seventy-one individuals still needed to 
complete their property validation and 175 staff and Users still needed 
to complete their key validation. For details, see the full brief at:

*Travelers and Travel Coordinators: Remember Expense Report Deadlines*
The timely receipt of travel expense reports continues to be a finding 
on the Internal Audit reviews.  Just a reminder, Jefferson Lab travel 
policy deadlines for expense reports are:
- Domestic travel: submit expense report within 10 calendar days of 
return, and
- Foreign travel: submit expense report within 20 calendar days of return.
As always, your support of this lab policy is appreciated.  Contact 
Carol Kinsey at
kinsey at jlab.org or x7519 with any issue that keeps you from meeting the 
policy or if you have any questions.

*JLab Implements Process to Improve Public Access to Research Results*
In October 2014, the Department of Energy began implementing its Public 
Access Plan across the DOE complex. This requirement stems from a Feb. 
22, 2013 memorandum titled, "Increasing Access to the Results of 
Federally Funded Scientific Research," in which the federal government 
directed federal agencies to develop and implement plans for increasing 
public access to the full-text versions of final, peer-reviewed 
publications and digital research data resulting from agency funded 
research. Public Access, or Open-Access (OA) literature is digital, 
online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing 
restrictions to readers. All authors of lab research results are asked 
to follow this process, which is posted online at:
