Nonsubstantive change request to transfer burden from cyber security final rule from 3150-0230 to 3150-0002

Nonsubstantive Change Request

10 CFR 73, Physical Protection of Plants and Materials

(3150-0002)

In August 2015, the NRC submitted, and OMB approved, information collections associated with the Cyber Security Event Notifications Final Rule. The burden increase was associated with the addition of new cyber security event notification requirements to 10 CFR Part 73, Physical Protection of Plants and Materials. The rule requires licensees subject to the provisions of section 73.54 to:

(1) report certain cyber security events to the NRC within the timeliness requirements specified;

(2) use their site corrective action program to record information on cyber security events; and

(3) submit written security follow-up reports to the NRC for certain notifications made under section 73.77.

Because the renewal of Part 73 information collections (3150-0002) was submitted in ROCIS at the time the rule needed to be submitted, and because ROCIS does not allow submission of multiple actions under the same clearance, the NRC was not able to submit the cyber security event notification burden under the Part 73 clearance number (3150-0002). Instead, a new clearance number was created for the burden associated with the Cyber Security Event Notifications Final Rule (3150-0230). This new clearance number temporarily provided place for the burden until it could be transferred into the Part 73 clearance.

This non-substantive change request is a request to transfer the burden associated with the Cyber Security Event final rule from the temporary clearance 3150-0230 to the Part 73 clearance, 3150-0002. The burden to be transferred is as follows:

After the burden is transferred from 3150-0230 to 3150-0002, NRC staff will enter a discontinuation request in ROCIS for 3150-0230.
