Note that any changes to this definition would impact existing definitions of Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, etc., as well as other areas of the regulations. Note: A recurring theme/question by Board members and throughout the industry is whether Direct Responsible Charge should be defined as managing operations staff (as it is currently) or solely overseeing a shift operation, such as a single operator on a third shift (as some have proposed). Note: This discussion may take more than one meeting.
