Different copiers have different capabilities, including some which come with features that allow the memory to be erased. Each copier would have to be examined from a physical security perspective. Use of Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Systems SGI–M may be processed or produced on an ADP system provided that the system is assigned to the licensee’s or contractor’s facility and requires the use of an entry code/password for access to stored information. Licensees must process this information in a computing environment that has adequate computer security controls in place to prevent unauthorized access to the information. An ADP system is defined here as a data processing system having the capability of long term storage of information. Word processors such as typewriters are not subject to the requirements as long as they do not transmit information off-site. (Note: If SGI–M is produced on a typewriter, the ribbon must be removed and stored in the same manner as other SGI–M information or media.) The basic objective of these restrictions is to prevent access and retrieval of stored SGI–M by unauthorized individuals, particularly from remote terminals. Specific files containing SGI–M will be password protected to preclude access by an unauthorized individual. SGI–M files may be transmitted over a network if the file is encrypted. In such cases, the licensee will select a commercially available encryption system that NIST has validated as conforming to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). SGI–M files shall be properly labeled as ‘‘Safeguards Information— Modified Handling’’ and saved to removable media and stored in a locked file drawer or cabinet. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains a listing of all validated encryption systems at https:// csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/ 1401val.htm. pwalker on PRODPC60 with NOTICES Telecommunications SGI–M may not be transmitted by unprotected telecommunications circuits except under emergency or extraordinary conditions. For the purpose of this requirement, emergency or extraordinary conditions are defined as any circumstances that require immediate communications in order to report, summon assistance for, or respond to a security event (or an event that has potential security significance). VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:49 Sep 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 This restriction applies to telephone, telegraph, teletype, facsimile circuits, and to radio. Routine telephone or radio transmission between site security personnel, or between the site and local police, should be limited to message formats or codes that do not disclose facility security features or response procedures. Similarly, call-ins during transport should not disclose information useful to a potential adversary. Infrequent or non-repetitive telephone conversations regarding a physical security plan or program are permitted provided that the discussion is general in nature. Individuals should use care when discussing SGI–M at meetings or in the presence of others to ensure that the conversation is not overheard by persons not authorized access. Transcripts, tapes or minutes of meetings or hearings that contain SGI– M shall be marked and protected in accordance with these requirements. Destruction Documents containing SGI–M must be destroyed when no longer needed. They may be destroyed by tearing into small pieces, burning, shredding or any other method that precludes reconstruction by means available to the public at large. Piece sizes one-half inch or smaller composed of several pages or documents and thoroughly mixed are considered completely destroyed. Attachment B—Trustworthiness and Reliability Requirements for Individuals Handling Safeguards Information Licensees shall document the basis for concluding that there is reasonable assurance that individuals granted access to safeguards information or who are placed in positions where they could facilitate access to the regulated material are trustworthy and reliable, and do not constitute an unreasonable risk for malevolent use of the regulated material. The trustworthiness, reliability, and verification of an individual’s true identity shall be determined based on a background investigation. The background investigation shall address at least the past three (3) years, and, as a minimum, include a local criminal history check (unless local or State laws prohibit local criminal history checks of current employees), verification of employment history, education, employment eligibility, and personal references. If an individual’s employment has been less than the required three (3) year period, educational references may be used in lieu of employment history.
