Download as PDF 74566 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 2006 / Notices Diplomatic Conference will be convened in November 2007 if such agreement is achieved. If no such agreement is achieved, all further discussions will be based on Document SCCR/15/2. The first special session of the SCCR will be held from January 17 to 19, 2007. WIPO posts various documents from their meetings, such as reports, member state submissions, meeting agendas, and texts prepared by the Chair of the SCCR. The most recent text available from July 31, 2006 — the Revised Draft Basic Proposal (Document SCCR/15/2) –– can be found at www.wipo.int/meetings/en/ doc_details.jsp?doc_id=64712. WIPO has not yet made available a draft report from the 2006 General Assemblies, but preparatory documents for the Assemblies are available at www.wipo.int/meetings/en/ details.jsp?meeting_id=11023. Throughout this process in WIPO, many points of view have been represented, including those of developed and developing countries, and many non–governmental organizations (NGOs), and numerous industry, creator and content owner groups. The USPTO and USCO have participated in several informal and formal meetings with interested parties such as broadcasters, netcasters, telecom companies, Internet service providers, content industries, creators and other NGOs, in order to obtain views and information relevant to the deliberations in the SCCR on this proposed treaty. In order to allow further opportunity for interested parties to comment, USPTO and USCO are convening this roundtable to provide another forum for such parties to provide their views of and additional information related to the proposed treaty. In particular, the participants should be prepared to identify and discuss more fully the issues and problems associated with the Revised Draft Basic Proposal (Document SCCR/15/2).

[FR Doc. 06–9653 Filed 12–8–06; 10:10 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [EA–06–289] In the Matter of All Licensees Who Possess Radioactive Material In Quantities of Concern and All Other Persons Who Obtain Safeguards Information Described Herein; Order Imposing Requirements for the Protection of Certain Safeguards Information (Effective Immediately) I jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES The Licensees, identified in Attachment 1 1 to this Order, hold licenses issued in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) or an Agreement State, authorizing them to possess and transfer items containing radioactive material quantities of concern. The NRC intends to issue security Orders to these licensees in the near future. Orders will be issued to both NRC and Agreement State materials licensees who may transport radioactive material quantities of concern. The Orders will require compliance with specific Additional Security Measures to enhance the security for transport of certain radioactive material quantities of concern. The NRC will issue Orders to both NRC and Agreement State licensees under its authority to protect the common defense and security, which has not been relinquished to the Agreement States. The Commission has determined that these documents will contain Safeguards Information (SGI), will not be released to the public, and must be protected from unauthorized disclosure. Therefore, the Commission is imposing the requirements, as set forth in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order and in Order EA–06–290, so that affected Licensees can receive these documents. This Order also imposes requirements for the protection of SGI in the hands of any person,2 whether or 1 Attachment 1 contains sensitive information and will not be released to the public. 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, VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:00 Dec 11, 2006 Jkt 211001 not a licensee of the Commission, who produces, receives, or acquires SGI. II The Commission has broad statutory authority to protect and prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of SGI. Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, grants the Commission explicit authority to ‘‘* * * issue such orders, as necessary to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of safeguards information * * *’’ This authority extends to information concerning transfer of special nuclear material, source material, and byproduct material. Licensees and all persons who produce, receive, or acquire SGI must ensure proper handling and protection of SGI to avoid unauthorized disclosure in accordance with the specific requirements for the protection of SGI contained in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order. The Commission hereby provides notice that it intends to treat violations of the requirements contained in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order applicable to the handling and unauthorized disclosure of SGI as serious breaches of adequate protection of the public health and safety and the common defense and security of the United States. Access to SGI is limited to those persons who have established a need-to-know the information, are considered to be trustworthy and reliable, and meet the requirements of Order EA–06–290. A need-to-know means a determination by a person having responsibility for protecting SGI that a proposed recipient’s access to SGI is necessary in the performance of official, contractual, or licensee duties of employment. Licensees and all other persons who obtain SGI must ensure that they develop, maintain and implement strict policies and procedures for the proper handling of SGI to prevent unauthorized disclosure, in accordance with the requirements in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order. All licensees must ensure that all contractors whose employees may have access to SGI either adhere to the licensee’s policies and procedures on SGI or develop, maintain and implement their own acceptable policies and procedures. The licensees remain responsible for the conduct of their contractors. The policies and except that the Department 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 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74567 procedures necessary to ensure compliance with applicable requirements contained in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order must address, at a minimum, the following: the general performance requirement that each person who produces, receives, or acquires SGI shall ensure that SGI is protected against unauthorized disclosure; protection of SGI at fixed sites, in use and in storage, and while in transit; correspondence containing SGI; access to SGI; preparation, marking, reproduction and destruction of documents; external transmission of documents; use of automatic data processing systems; removal of the SGI category; the need-to-know the information; and background checks to determine access to the information. In order to provide assurance that the licensees are implementing prudent measures to achieve a consistent level of protection to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of Safeguards Information, all licensees who hold licenses issued by the NRC or an Agreement State authorizing them to possess and who may transport items containing radioactive material quantities of concern shall implement the requirements identified in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order. The Commission recognizes that licensees may have already initiated many of the measures set forth in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order for handling of SGI in conjunction with current NRC license requirements or previous NRC Orders. Additional measures set forth in Attachments 2 and 3 to this Order should be incorporated into the licensee’s current program for SGI. In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, I find that in light of the common defense and security matters identified above, which warrant the issuance of this Order, the public health, safety and interest require that this Order be effective immediately. III Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 81, 147, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR 2.202, 10 CFR Part 30, 10 CFR Part 32, 10 CFR Part 35, and 10 CFR Part 70, it is hereby ordered, effective immediately, that all licensees identified in attachment 1 to this order and all other persons who produce, receive, or acquire the additional security measures identified above (whether draft or final) or any related SGI shall comply with the requirements of attachments 2 and 3 to this order.
