NRC Form 754, Armed Security Personnel Firearms Background Check

FINAL RULE: 10 CFR Part 73, Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and Security Event Notifications The NRC is amending the current security regulations and add new security requirements pertaining to nuclear power reactors and Category I Strategic Special Nuclear Material (SSNM) facilities for access to enhanced weapons and firearms background checks. The proposed NRC Form 754 collects the information required to perform the necessary firearms background checks. The background check uses the person's fingerprints and other identifying information and is performed under the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Instant Criminal Background Check System to determine if an individual is prohibited under Federal or State law from possessing or receiving firearms. Licensees would submit NRC Form 754 for all security personnel protecting Commission designated facilities, radioactive material, or other property whose duties require them to have access to these weapons. The Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks and Security Event Notifications proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2011 (76 FR 6199), and supplemented on January 10, 2013 (78 FR 2214). The NRC is issued a second supplemental proposed rule to modify the firearms background check requirements on September 22, 2015 (80 FR 57106). NOTE: Submissions for this final rule have been submitted under clearances 3150-0104 (NRC Form 366), 3150-0204 (NRC Form 754), and 3150-NEW (request for a new clearance number for information collections contained in 10 CFR Part 73.)
