Proposed Generic Communications; Protection of Safeguards Information

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to issue a regulatory issue summary (RIS) to remind all stakeholders of the significant changes to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 73.21, 73.22 and 73.23. Previously, many licensees, applicants, certificate holders, or other persons were issued Orders in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that required them to protect certain detailed information designated as SGI or SGI- M. Further Orders were issued by the NRC after the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which expanded the NRC's fingerprinting authority with respect to access to SGI. This RIS provides clarifying information of the impact of the new rule (effective date February 23, 2009). This Federal Register notice is available through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under accession number ML090630662.
