10 CFR Parrts 2, 30, 40, 50, 52, 60, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 76 and 150. Protection of Safeguards Information, Final Rule The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations for the protection of Safeguards Information (SGI) to protect SGI from inadvertent release and unauthorized disclosure which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities and materials. The amendments modify the requirements for the protection of SGI with respect to persons, information, and materials subject to the regulations, as well as those that are not. These amendments are within the scope of Commission authority under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). The NRC published a proposed rule on SGI on February 11, 2005 (70 FR 7196), and published a revised proposed rule on October 31, 2006 (71 FR 64004), to allow for public comment on changes to the proposed rule text made for the following reasons: (1) in response to public comments, (2) to reflect amendments to the AEA in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), and (3) to reflect Commission Orders issued to licensees authorized to possess and transfer items containing certain quantities of radioactive material. The NRC is now publishing this final rule, in which the NRC is responding to the comments that have been received and is making appropriate changes to the text of the revised proposed rule.

NRC is revising 10 CFR 73.21 and to add sections 73.22 and 73.23 to protect safeguards information (SGI) from inadvertent release and unauthorized distribution which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities and materials. Changes in the threat environment have revealed the need to protect as SGI additional types of security information held by a broader group of persons, including licensees, applicants, vendors, and certificate holders. The regulations in effect prior to this rule did not specify all of the types of information that could be designated as SGI and are now recognized to be significant to the public health and safety or the common defense and security. The unauthorized release of this information could result in harm to the public health and safety and the Nation's common defense and security, as well as damage to the Nation's critical infrastructure, including nuclear power plants and other facilities and materials licensed and regulated by the NRC or Agreement States. Since September 11, 2001, the NRC has issued orders that have increased the number of licensees whose security measures will be protected as SGI and added types of security information considered to be SGI. Orders have been issued to power reactor licensees, fuel cycle facility licensees, certain source material licensees, and certain byproduct material licensees. Some of the orders expanded the types of information to be protected by licensees who already have an SGI protection program, such as nuclear power reactor licensees. Other orders were issued to licensees that have not previously been subject to SGI protection requirements in the regulations, such as certain licensees authorized to manufacture or initially transfer items containing radioactive material. Some orders imposed a new designation: Safeguards Information-Modified Handling (SGI-M). SGI-M refers to SGI with handling requirements that are modified somewhat due to the lower risk posed by unauthorized disclosure of the information. The SGI-M protection requirements apply to certain security-related information regarding quantities of source, byproduct, and special nuclear materials for which the harm caused by unauthorized disclosure of information would be less than that for other SGI. Some of the requirements imposed by orders that have increased the types of information to be considered SGI are not covered by the current regulations. Although new SGI requirements could continue to be imposed through the issuance of orders, the regulations would not reflect current Commission SGI policy and/or requirements.
