of each organization as they relate to the
application of their respective cyber
security requirements for the protection
of digital assets at commercial nuclear
power plants operating in the USA.
II. Effective Date
This MOU is effective December 30,
2009.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Electrical Engineering Branch, Division
of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation.
Memorandum of Understanding Between the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and
the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation
I. Purpose
1. This Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) is entered into by the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the North
American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC) (hereafter ‘‘Party’’ or ‘‘Parties’’).
2. Consistent with their statutory authority
and regulations, the NRC and NERC each
have responsibility for establishing and
enforcing cyber security requirements at
commercial nuclear power plants operating
in the United States of America (USA). The
NRC’s primary focus is on the prevention of
radiological sabotage (i.e., significant core
damage) that could result in harm to public
health and safety or the environment or have
an adverse impact upon the common defense
and security of the USA. NERC’s primary
focus is on the reliability of the bulk power
system (BPS). It accomplishes this in part by
enforcing compliance with applicable NERC
Reliability Standards, including, but not
limited to, the Critical Infrastructure
Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards.
3. The purpose of this MOU is to set forth
and coordinate the roles and responsibilities
of each organization as they relate to the
application of their respective cyber security
requirements for the protection of digital
assets at commercial nuclear power plants
operating in the USA. This cooperation will
ensure that the common responsibilities of
each organization are achieved in the most
efficient and effective manner without
diminishing or interfering with their
respective responsibilities and authorities.
The goal of this cooperation is to maintain
the safety and security of commercial nuclear
power plants operating in the USA while
optimizing the reliability of the BPS to the
maximum extent possible.
4. This memorandum supplements an
existing Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
between the NRC and NERC dated July 10,
2007.
II. Roles and Responsibilities
1. NRC:
a. The NRC has statutory responsibility for
licensing and regulating commercial nuclear
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
facilities operating in the USA as well as the
civilian use of byproduct, source, and special
nuclear materials in order to protect public
health and safety, promote the common
defense and security, and protect the
environment. Public Law 93–438, 88 Stat.
1233 (42 U.S.C. 5801 et seq.).
b. The NRC carries out its statutory
responsibilities by promulgating regulations
and issuing licenses, certificates and orders
for commercial nuclear power plants and
other nuclear facilities and materials in the
USA.
c. The NRC has issued orders and
promulgated regulations imposing cyber
security requirements on commercial nuclear
power plants under its jurisdiction. Portions
of these facilities also fall under the
concurrent jurisdiction of NERC’s CIP
reliability standards.
d. The NRC’s cyber security regulations set
forth at 10 CFR 73.54 govern digital systems
and networks that can affect commercial
nuclear power reactor safety, security, and
emergency preparedness functions. Those
regulations do not govern systems within
nuclear facilities, such as those related to
continuity of power that could not have an
adverse impact on safety, security, or
emergency preparedness functions.
2. NERC:
a. NERC has statutory responsibility for
improving the reliability and security of the
BPS in the United States. NERC conducts
equivalent activities in Canada. NERC’s
authority and jurisdiction in the USA is set
forth in the Federal Power Act pursuant to
Title XII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005,
FERC’s implementing regulations at 18 CFR
Part 39, and applicable FERC Orders,
including but not limited to, the Electric
Reliability Organization (ERO) Certification
Order, Order Nos. 672, 693, 706 and 706–B.
NERC is a not-for-profit, self-regulatory
corporation.
b. NERC develops and enforces reliability
standards; monitors the BPS; analyzes BPS
events; assesses the adequacy of the BPS
annually via a 10-year forecast and winter
and summer forecasts; audits owners,
operators, and users of the BPS; and educates
and trains industry personnel.
III. NRC/NERC Consultations on the FERC
Order 706–B Exception Process
1. On January 18, 2008, FERC issued Order
No. 706 imposing eight NERC-developed
cyber security CIP reliability standards on
BPS owners, operators, and users. This Order
exempted facilities regulated by the NRC
from compliance with NERC’s CIP standards.
2. On March 19, 2009, FERC issued Order
No. 706–B, significantly narrowing the
nuclear facilities exemptions from NERC’s
CIP standards in order to ensure
comprehensive cyber security protection of
appropriate digital assets at nuclear power
plants. Order No. 706–B allows nuclear
facilities to seek exceptions from NERC’s CIP
standards on a case-by-case basis for those
digital assets subject to the NRC’s cyber
security requirements.
3. The NRC and NERC agree to cooperate
regarding NERC’s disposition of exception
requests received from nuclear facilities
subject to NERC’s CIP standards. NERC
