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).

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.

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.
