in quantities of concern. 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 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

Commission has the authority to designate and

last five (5) years, or individuals who
have an active federal security clearance
(provided in each case that they make
available the appropriate
documentation), have satisfied the
EPAct fingerprinting requirement and

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.

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
