ACTION: Notice of Issuance and Availability of Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.71, ‘‘Cyber Security Programs for Nuclear Facilities.’’ srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karl J. Sturzebecher, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001, telephone: (301) 251–7494 or email Karl.Sturzebecher@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is issuing a new guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. RG 5.71, ‘‘Cyber Security Programs for Nuclear Facilities,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–5022. This regulatory guide provides guidance to applicants and licensees on satisfying the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54. The information contained within this guide represents the results of research conducted by the NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research concerning cyber security program development and the collective body of knowledge and experience that has been developed through all of the actions identified VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:51 Jan 12, 2010 Jkt 220001 above. In addition, this guide embodies the findings by standards organizations and agencies, such as the International Society of Automation, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and the National Institute of Standard and Technology, as well as guidance from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. RG 5.71 provides a framework to aid in the identification of those digital assets that must be protected from cyber attacks. These identified digital assets are referred to as critical digital assets (CDAs). Licensees should address the potential cyber security risks of CDAs by applying the defensive architecture and the collection of security controls identified in this regulatory guide. The RG 5.71 framework offers licensees and applicants the ability to address the specific needs of an existing or new system. The goal of this regulatory guide is to harmonize the well-known and well-understood set of security controls (based on NIST cyber security standards) that address potential cyber risks to CDAs to provide a flexible programmatic approach in which the licensee or applicant can establish, maintain, and successfully integrate these security controls into a site-specific cyber security program. II. Further Information The Agency released DG–5022, which contained safeguards information, directly to stakeholders, who provided comments on July 18, 2008, December 12, 2008, and January 14, 2009. The responses to stakeholder’s comments are located in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System under Accession Number ML090340185. Electronic copies of RG 5.71 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at https://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/doc-collections/. In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) located at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The PDR’s mailing address is USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555– PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 0001. The PDR can also be reached by telephone at (301) 415–4737 or (800) 397–4205, by fax at (301) 415–3548, and by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov.

PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ACTION: 1831 Request for resumes. SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) seeks qualified candidates for the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). Submit resumes to Ms. Kendra Freeland, Analyst, ACRS, Mail Stop T2E–26, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001, or e-mail Kendra.Freeland@NRC.GOV. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACRS is a part-time advisory group, which is statutorily mandated by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. ACRS provides independent expert advice on matters related to the safety of existing and proposed nuclear power plants and on the adequacy of proposed reactor safety standards. Of primary importance are the safety issues associated with the operation of 104 commercial nuclear power plants in the United States and regulatory initiatives, including riskinformed and performance-based regulations, license renewal, power uprates, and the use of mixed oxide and high burnup fuels. An increased emphasis is being given to safety issues associated with new reactor designs and technologies, including passive system reliability and thermal hydraulic phenomena, use of digital instrumentation and control, international codes and standards used in multinational design certifications, material and structural engineering, nuclear analysis and reactor core performance, and nuclear materials and radiation protection. The ACRS also has some involvement in security matters related to the integration of safety and security of commercial reactors. See NRC Web site at https:// www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/ advisory/acrs.html for additional information about ACRS. Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and experience, demonstrated skills in nuclear reactor safety matters, the ability to solve complex technical problems, and the ability to work collegially on a board, panel, or committee. The Commission, in selecting its Committee members, considers the need for a specific expertise to accomplish the work expected to be before the ACRS. ACRS Committee members are appointed for four-year terms and normally serve no more than three terms. The Commission looks to fill potential multiple vacancies as a result of this request. For these positions, a candidate must have at least 10 years of broad experience in nuclear engineering coupled with operational exposure to issues relative to new reactor designs pertaining to digital instrumentation and control, civil/ E:\FR\FM\13JAN1.SGM 13JAN1
