NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 10 CFR Part 73 [Docket No. PRM–73–11; NRC–2001–0023] Petition for Rulemaking Filed by Scott Portzline, Three Mile Island Alert; Consider Petition in the Rulemaking Process Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Resolution and closure of petition docket. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with PROPOSALS AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the issues raised in a petition for rulemaking submitted by Scott Portzline, on behalf of the Three Mile Island Alert, in the ongoing ‘‘Power Reactor Security Requirements’’ rulemaking. The petitioner requested that the NRC regulations governing physical protection of plants and materials be amended to require NRC licensees to post at least one armed guard at each entrance to the ‘‘owner controlled areas’’ (OCAs) surrounding all U.S. nuclear power plants. The petitioner stated that this should be accomplished by adding armed site protection officers (SPOs) to the security forces—not by simply moving SPOs from their protected area (PA) posts to the OCA entrances. The petitioner believes that its proposed amendment would provide an additional layer of security that would complement existing measures against radiological sabotage and would be consistent with the long-standing principle of defensein-depth.
