The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has appointed Mr. Ellis Merschoff, currently Regional Administrator in Arlington, Texas, as Chief Information Officer in NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. He will begin his new duties in June.

Mr. Merschoff came to the NRC in 1980, in the former Office of Standards Development and has held positions of increasing responsibility in the Offices of Nuclear Regulatory Research, Inspection and Enforcement, and Nuclear Reactor Regulation, and in the Region II office in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 1997, he has been the Region IV Administrator.
