Section 652 of the EPAct amended section 149 of the AEA to require fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identification and criminal history records check of any person who is permitted unescorted access to radioactive materials subject to regulation by the Commission, and which the Commission determines to be of such significance to the public health and safety or the common defense and security as to warrant fingerprinting and background checks. NRC has decided to implement this requirement, in part, prior to the completion of the rulemaking to implement the provisions under the EPAct, which is underway, because a deliberate malevolent act by an individual with unescorted access to these radioactive materials has a potential to result in significant adverse impacts to the public health and safety or the common defense and security. Those exempted from fingerprinting requirements under 10 CFR 73.59 (71 FR 33,989 (June 13, 2006)) for access to Safeguards Information 2 (SGI) are also exempt from the fingerprinting requirements under this Order. In addition, individuals who have a favorably-decided U.S. Government 2 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.

Individuals who have been fingerprinted and granted access to SGI by the reviewing official under EA–06– 155 do not need to be fingerprinted again. II Subsequent to the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the NRC issued a security Order requiring certain Licensees who may transport radioactive material quantities of concern to implement Additional Security Measures (ASMs) for radioactive materials. The requirements imposed by that Order (RAMQC Order), and certain measures licensees have developed to comply with that Order, were designated by the NRC as SGI and were not released to the public. One specific ASM imposed by the RAMQC Order required licensees to conduct local background checks to determine the trustworthiness and reliability of individuals needing unescorted access to radioactive materials. ‘‘Access’’ to these radioactive materials means that an individual could exercise some physical control over the material or device. At that time, the NRC did not E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM 24OCN1
