FINAL RULE "10 CFR Parts 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 51, 71, and 73, Physical Protection of Byproduct Material." The NRC is amending its regulations to establish security requirements for the use and transport of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. The NRC considers these quantities to be risk significant and, therefore, to warrant additional protection. Category 1 and category 2 thresholds are based on the quantities established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in its Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources, which the NRC endorses. The objective of this final rule is to provide reasonable assurance of preventing the theft or diversion of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. The regulations also include security requirements for the transportation of irradiated reactor fuel that weighs 100 grams or less in net weight of irradiated fuel. The final rule would require licensees to: (1) develop procedures for implementation of the security provisions; (2) develop a security plan that describes how security is being implemented; (3) conduct training on the procedures and security plan; (4) conduct background investigations for those individuals permitted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material; (5) coordinate with LLEAs so the LLEAs would be better prepared to respond in an emergency; (6) conduct preplanning and coordination activities before shipping radioactive material; and (7) implement security measures for the protection of the radioactive material. Licensees would be required to promptly report any attempted or actual theft or diversion of the radioactive material. Licensees would be required to keep copies of the security plan, procedures, background investigation records, training records, and documentation that certain activities have occurred.

The final rule would impose a new information collection and thus would not change an existing OMB approved information collection. The information collected is essential to permit NRC to make a determination as to the adequacy of the licensee's planned system in meeting regulatory requirements. Information describing the normal operation of the physical protection system is needed to permit NRC to make a determination as to reasonable assurance that the physical protection system operates in accordance with the regulatory requirements. Information collections contacting the NRC of the occurrence and circumstances concerning abnormal events (e.g., report of theft, sabotage, or overdue shipment). This information enables the NRC to fulfill its responsibilities to respond to, investigate, and correct situations which adversely affect public health and safety or the common defense and security. The NRC recognized the potential risk from insiders (persons having unescorted access to radioactive material), because a deliberate malevolent act by such an individual has the potential to result in significant adverse impacts. Accordingly, the final rule requires background investigations, including the collection of fingerprints and criminal history records check. Note that although revisions have been made to Parts 20, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 51, 71, and 73, there are no changes to information collections in these sections. All information collection burden is contained in 10 CFR 37, a new Part of the Code of Federal Regulations.
