(American Centrifuge Plant) and All Other Persons Who Seek or Obtain Access to Safeguards Information Described Herein; Order Imposing Requirements for the Protection of and Access to Safeguards Information (Effective Immediately) I USEC Inc. (USEC or the Applicant) applied for a license, to be issued in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) authorizing it to construct and operate a uranium enrichment facility, known as the American Centrifuge Plant, in Piketon, Ohio. NRC plans to provide USEC, for its information, copies of Orders issued to Category III facilities on interim measures to enhance physical security at those facilities. Those Orders will contain Safeguards Information.1 In addition, in the future, the Commission may issue the Applicant additional Orders that require compliance with specific additional security measures to enhance security at the facility. These Orders are also expected to contain Safeguards Information, which cannot be released to the public and must be protected from unauthorized disclosure. Therefore, the Commission is imposing the requirements, as set forth in Attachments A, B, and C of this Order, so that the Applicant can receive these documents. This Order also imposes requirements for the protection of Safeguards Information in the hands of any person,2 whether or not a Applicant of the Commission, who produces, receives, or acquires Safeguards Information. On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) was enacted. Section 652 of the EPAct amended Section 149 of the AEA to require 1 Safeguards Information is a form of sensitive, unclassified, security-related information that the Commission has the authority to designate and protect under section 147 of the AEA. 2 Person means: (1) Any individual, corporation, partnership, firm, association, trust, estate, public or private institution, group, government agency other than the Commission or the Department of Energy, except that the Department of Energy shall be considered a person with respect to those facilities of the Department specified in section 202 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (88 Stat. 1244), any State or any political subdivision of, or any political entity within a State, any foreign government or nation or any political subdivision of any such government or nation, or other entity; and (2) any legal successor, representative, agent, or agency of the foregoing. PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identification and criminal history records check of any person who is to be permitted to have access to Safeguards Information. The NRC’s implementation of this requirement cannot await the completion of the Safeguards Information rulemaking, which is underway, because the EPAct fingerprinting and criminal history check requirements for access to Safeguards Information were immediately effective upon enactment of the EPAct. Although the EPAct permits the Commission by rule to except certain categories of individuals from the fingerprinting requirement, which the Commission has done (See 10 CFR 73.59, 71 FR 33,989 (June 13, 2006)), it is unlikely that many Applicant employees are excepted from the fingerprinting requirement by the ‘‘fingerprinting relief’’ rule. Individuals relieved from the fingerprinting and criminal history checks under the relief rule include Federal, State, and local officials and law enforcement personnel; Agreement State inspectors, who conduct security inspections on behalf of the NRC; members of Congress and certain employees of members of Congress or Congressional Committees; representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency or certain foreign government organizations. In addition, individuals who have a favorably-decided U.S. Government criminal history check within the last five (5) years, and individuals who have active Federal security clearances (provided in either case that they make available the appropriate documentation), have satisfied the EPAct fingerprinting requirement and need not be fingerprinted again. Therefore, in accordance with Section 149 of the AEA, as amended by the EPAct, the Commission is imposing additional requirements, as set forth by this Order, for access to Safeguards Information so that affected Applicant can obtain and grant access to Safeguards Information. This Order also imposes requirements for access to Safeguards Information by any person, from any person, whether or not a Licensee, Applicant, or Certificate Holder of the Commission or Agreement States. Subsequent to the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the NRC issued Orders requiring certain entities to implement Additional Security Measures (ASM) or Compensatory Measures (CM) for certain radioactive materials.
