NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[EA-09-205; NRC-2009-0544]


In the Matter of Licensees Authorized To Possess Radioactive 
Material Quantities of Concern; Order Imposing Fingerprinting and 
Criminal History Records Check Requirements for Unescorted Access to 
Certain Radioactive Material (Effective Immediately)

I

    The Licensees identified in Attachment A to the Increased Controls 
(IC) Order (EA-09-204) hold licenses issued by the U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) in accordance with the Atomic 
Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, and which may possess items 
containing radioactive materials in quantities of concern.
    Section 149 of the AEA, as amended by Section 652 of the Energy 
Policy Act of 2005, requires fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI) identification and criminal history records checks 
for ``any individual who is permitted unescorted access to radioactive 
materials or other property subject to regulation by the Commission 
that the Commission determines to be of such significance to the public 
health and safety or the common defense and

[[Page 66165]]

security as to warrant fingerprinting and background checks.'' Pending 
the completion of rulemaking, the NRC is issuing this Order to 
implement these requirements, of the AEA and the Energy Policy Act of 
2005, because a deliberate malevolent act by an individual with 
unescorted access to radioactive materials quantities of concern has 
the potential to result in significant adverse impacts to the public 
health and safety.
    These additional requirements do not apply to individuals or 
classes of individuals who, under 10 CFR 73.61, are relieved from the 
fingerprinting, identification, and records check requirements of 
Section 149 of the AEA, as amended by Section 652 of the Energy Policy 
Act of 2005. In addition, because the individuals listed in Attachment 
1, Paragraph 3 to this Order have already satisfied the fingerprinting, 
identification, and records check requirements, these individuals do 
not need to take additional action in response to this Order.

II

    The IC Order (EA-09-204) requires Licensees to increase control 
over their sources in order to prevent unintended radiation exposure 
and malicious acts. One specific requirement imposed by the IC Order is 
that each Licensee conduct background checks to determine the 
trustworthiness and reliability of individuals needing unescorted 
access to radioactive materials. The Commission has determined that 
radioactive materials possessed by the licensees listed in Attachment A 
of the IC Order are of such significance to public health and safety as 
to warrant fingerprinting and FBI identification and criminal history 
records checks for such persons. Therefore, in accordance with Section 
149 of the AEA and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Commission is 
imposing the requirements set forth in this Order on all licensees 
identified in Attachment A of the IC Order, which are currently 
authorized to possess radioactive materials in quantities of concern. 
These requirements include the specific fingerprinting and criminal 
history records check requirements specified in Attachment 1 to this 
Order. All requirements will remain in effect until the Commission 
determines otherwise.
    Because of the potentially significant adverse impacts associated 
with a deliberate malevolent act by an individual with unescorted 
access to radioactive materials quantities of concern, under 10 CFR 
2.202, the NRC finds that the public health and safety require that 
this Order be effective immediately.

III

    Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 81, 149, 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 Parts 30, 33, 40 and 
50, it is hereby ordered, effective immediately, that all licensees 
identified in attachment 1 to this order shall comply with the 
requirements of this order as follows:

A

    1. The Licensee shall, within ninety (90) days of the date of this 
Order, establish and maintain a fingerprinting program that meets the 
requirements of Attachment 1 of this Order for individuals that require 
unescorted access to certain radioactive materials.
    2. Within twenty five (25) days of the date of this Order, the 
Licensee shall provide under oath or affirmation, a certification that 
the Trustworthiness and Reliability (T&R) Official (an individual with 
the responsibility to determine the trustworthiness and reliability of 
another individual requiring unescorted access to the radioactive 
materials identified in Table 1 of Attachment B of the IC Order) is 
deemed trustworthy and reliable by the Licensee as required in 
paragraph B.2 of this Order.
    3. The Licensee shall, in writing, within twenty five (25) days of 
the date of this Order, notify the Commission, (1) If it is unable to 
comply with any of the requirements described in this Order or in 
Attachment 1 to this Order, (2) if compliance with any of the 
requirements is unnecessary in its specific circumstances, or (3) if 
implementation of any of the requirements would cause the Licensee to 
be in violation of the provisions of any Commission regulation or its 
license. The notification shall provide the Licensee's justification 
for seeking relief from or variation of any specific requirement.
    4. The Licensee shall complete implementation of the program 
established in accordance with paragraph A.1 within ninety (90) days of 
the date of this Order. In addition to the notifications in paragraphs 
2 and 3 above, the Licensee shall notify the Commission within twenty-
five (25) days after they have achieved full compliance with the 
requirements described in Attachment 1 to this Order. If within ninety 
(90) days of the date of this Order, the Licensee is unable, due to 
circumstances beyond its control, to complete implementation of this 
Order, the Licensee shall submit a written request to the Commission 
explaining the need for an extension of time to implement the 
requirements. The request shall provide the Licensee's justification 
for seeking more time to comply with the requirements of this Order.
    Licensees shall notify the NRC's Headquarters Operations Office at 
301-816-5100 within 24 hours if the results from an FBI identification 
and criminal history records check indicate that an individual is 
identified on the FBI's Terrorist Screening Data Base.

B

    1. Except as provided in paragraph E for individuals who are 
currently approved for unescorted access, the Licensee shall grant 
access to radioactive material in Attachment B to the IC Order in 
accordance with the requirements of IC.1. of the IC Order and the 
requirements of this Order.
    2. The T&R Official, if he/she does not require unescorted access, 
must be deemed trustworthy and reliable by the Licensee in accordance 
with the requirements of IC.1. of the IC Order before making a 
determination regarding the trustworthiness and reliability of another 
individual. If the T&R Official requires unescorted access, the 
Licensee must consider the results of fingerprinting and the review of 
an FBI identification and criminal history records check as a component 
in approving a T&R Official.
    C. Prior to requesting fingerprints from any individual, the 
Licensee shall provide a copy of this Order to that person.
    D. Upon receipt of the results of FBI identification and criminal 
history records checks, the Licensee shall control such information as 
specified in the ``Protection of Information'' section of Attachment 1 
of this Order and in requirement IC.5 of the IC Order.
    E. The Licensee shall make determinations on continued unescorted 
access for persons currently granted unescorted access, within ninety 
(90) days of the date of this Order based upon the results of the 
fingerprinting and FBI identification and criminal history records 
check. The Licensee may allow any individual who currently has 
unescorted access to certain radioactive materials in accordance with 
the IC Order to continue to have unescorted access, pending a decision 
by the T&R Official. After ninety (90) days of the date of this Order, 
no individual may have unescorted access to radioactive materials 
without a determination by the T&R Official (based upon fingerprinting, 
an FBI identification and

[[Page 66166]]

criminal history records check and a previous trustworthiness and 
reliability determination) that the individual may have unescorted 
access to such materials.
    F. These requirements do not apply to radioactive material 
contained in spent nuclear fuel.
    Licensee responses to A.1, A.2., A.3. and A.4., above shall be 
submitted to the Director, Division of Waste Management and 
Environmental Protection, Office of Federal and State Materials and 
Environmental Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555. Licensee responses shall be marked as ``Withhold 
Under 10 CFR 2.390.''
    The Director, Division of Waste Management and Environmental 
Protection, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental 
Management Programs, may, in writing, relax or rescind any of the above 
conditions upon demonstration of good cause by the Licensee.

IV

    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202, the Licensee must, and any other 
person adversely affected by this Order may, submit an answer to this 
Order within twenty five (25) days of the date of this Order. In 
addition, the Licensee and any other person adversely affected by this 
Order may request a hearing of this Order within twenty five (25) days 
of the date of the Order. Where good cause is shown, consideration will 
be given to extending the time to request a hearing. A request for 
extension of time must be made, in writing, to the Director, Division 
of Waste Management and Environmental Protection, Office of Federal and 
State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and include a statement of 
good cause for the extension.
    The answer may consent to this Order. If the answer includes a 
request for a hearing, it shall, under oath or affirmation, 
specifically set forth the matters of fact and law on which the 
Licensee relies and the reasons as to why the Order should not have 
been issued. If a person other than the Licensee requests a hearing, 
that person shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his 
interest is adversely affected by this Order and shall address the 
criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d).
    All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a 
request for hearing, a petition for leave to intervene, any motion or 
other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a 
request for hearing or petition to intervene, and documents filed by 
interested governmental entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c), 
must be filed in accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule, (72 FR 49139, 
Aug. 28, 2007). The E-Filing process requires participants to submit 
and serve all adjudicatory documents over the internet, or in some 
cases to mail copies on electronic storage media. Participants may not 
submit paper copies of their filings unless they seek an exemption in 
accordance with the procedures described below.
    To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 
ten (10) days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should 
contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at 
[email protected], or by telephone at (301) 415-1677, to request 
(1) a digital ID certificate, which allows the participant (or its 
counsel or representative) to digitally sign documents and access the 
E-Submittal server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and 
(2) advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a 
request or petition for hearing (even in instances in which the 
participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the 
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the hearing in this 
proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic 
docket.
    Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is 
available on NRC's public website at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/apply-certificates.html. System requirements for accessing 
the E-Submittal server are detailed in NRC's ``Guidance for Electronic 
Submission,'' which is available on the agency's public Web site at 
http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants may 
attempt to use other software not listed on the website, but should 
note that the NRC's E-Filing system does not support unlisted software, 
and the NRC Help Desk will not be able to offer assistance in using 
unlisted software.
    If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC 
in accordance with the E-Filing rule, the participant must file the 
document using the NRC's on-line, web-based submission form. In order 
to serve documents through EIE, users will be required to install a web 
browser plug-in from the NRC Web site. Further information on the web-
based submission form, including the installation of the Web browser 
plug-in, is available on the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
    Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a 
docket has been created, the participant can then submit a request for 
hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions should be in 
Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance 
available on the NRC public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the 
documents are submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To be 
timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system 
no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of 
a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends 
the submitter an e-mail notice confirming receipt of the document. The 
E-Filing system also distributes an e-mail notice that provides access 
to the document to the NRC Office of the General Counsel and any others 
who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to 
participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the 
documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and 
other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for 
and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/petition 
to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document 
via the E-Filing system.
    A person filing electronically using the agency's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta-System 
Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC Web site 
at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by e-mail at 
[email protected], or by a toll-free call at (866) 672-7640. The 
NRC Meta-System Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., 
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.
    Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not 
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in 
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper 
format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail 
addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: 
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or 
expedited delivery

[[Page 66167]]

service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, 
Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. Participants filing a 
document in this manner are responsible for serving the document on all 
other participants. Filing is considered complete by first-class mail 
as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or 
expedited delivery service upon depositing the document with the 
provider of the service. A presiding officer, having granted an 
exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a participant or 
party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer subsequently determines 
that the reason for granting the exemption from use of E-Filing no 
longer exists.
    Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in 
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at 
http://ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp, unless excluded pursuant 
to an order of the Commission, or the presiding officer. Participants 
are requested not to include personal privacy information, such as 
social security numbers, home addresses, or home phone numbers in their 
filings, unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of 
such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited 
excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would 
constitute a Fair Use application, participants are requested not to 
include copyrighted materials in their submission.
    Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in 
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at 
http://ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp, unless excluded pursuant 
to an order of the Commission, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, or 
a Presiding Officer. Participants are requested not to include personal 
privacy information, such as social security numbers, home addresses, 
or home phone numbers in their filings. With respect to copyrighted 
works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the 
adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, 
Participants are requested not to include copyrighted materials in 
their works.
    If a hearing is requested by the Licensee or a person whose 
interest is adversely affected, the Commission will issue an Order 
designating the time and place of any hearing. If a hearing is held the 
issue to be considered at such hearing shall be whether this Order 
should be sustained.
    Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202(c)(2)(i), the Licensee may, in addition to 
requesting a hearing, at the time the answer is filed or sooner, move 
the presiding officer to set aside the immediate effectiveness of the 
Order on the ground that the Order, including the need for immediate 
effectiveness, is not based on adequate evidence but on mere suspicion, 
unfounded allegations, or error.
    In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval of 
an extension of time in which to request a hearing, the provisions 
specified in Section III above shall be final twenty-five (25) days 
from the date of this Order without further order or proceedings. If an 
extension of time for requesting a hearing has been approved, the 
provisions specified in Section III shall be final when the extension 
expires if a hearing request has not been received.
    An answer or a request for hearing shall not stay the immediate 
effectiveness of this order.

    Dated this 23rd day of November 2009.

Attachment 1: Specific Requirements Pertaining to Fingerprinting and 
Criminal History Records Checks

    1. Each Licensee subject to the provisions of this attachment 
shall fingerprint each individual who is seeking or permitted 
unescorted access to risk significant radioactive materials equal to 
or greater than the quantities listed in Attachment B to the IC 
Order (EA-09-204). The Licensee shall review and use the information 
received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 
identification and criminal history records check and ensure that 
the provisions contained in the subject Order and this attachment 
are satisfied.
    2. The Licensee shall notify each affected individual that the 
fingerprints will be used to secure a review of his/her criminal 
history record and inform the individual of the procedures for 
revising the record or including an explanation in the record, as 
specified in the ``Right to Correct and Complete Information'' 
section of this attachment.
    3. Fingerprints for unescorted access need not be taken if an 
employed individual (e.g., a Licensee employee, contractor, 
manufacturer, or supplier) is relieved from the fingerprinting 
requirement by 10 CFR 73.61, or any person who has been favorably-
decided by a U.S. Government program involving fingerprinting and an 
FBI identification and criminal history records check (e.g. National 
Agency Check, Transportation Worker Identification Credentials in 
accordance with 49 CFR Part 1572, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms 
and Explosives background checks and clearances in accordance with 
27 CFR Part

[[Page 66168]]

555, Health and Human Services security risk assessments for 
possession and use of select agents and toxins in accordance with 42 
CFR Part 73, Hazardous Material security threat assessment for 
hazardous material endorsement to commercial drivers license in 
accordance with 49 CFR Part 1572, Customs and Border Patrol's Free 
and Secure Trade Program \1\) within the last five (5) calendar 
years, or any person who has an active federal security clearance 
(provided in the latter two cases that they make available the 
appropriate documentation \2\). Written confirmation from the 
Agency/employer which granted the federal security clearance or 
reviewed the FBI criminal history records results based upon a 
fingerprint identification check must be provided. The Licensee must 
retain this documentation for a period of three (3) years from the 
date the individual no longer requires unescorted access to certain 
radioactive material associated with the Licensee's activities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The FAST program is a cooperative effort between the Bureau 
of Customs and Border Patrol and the governments of Canada and 
Mexico to coordinate processes for the clearance of commercial 
shipments at the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders. Participants 
in the FAST program, which requires successful completion of a 
background records check, may receive expedited entrance privileges 
at the northern and southern borders.
    \2\ This documentation must allow the T&R Official to verify 
that the individual has fulfilled the unescorted access requirements 
of Section 149 of the AEA by submitting to fingerprinting and an FBI 
identification and criminal history records check.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. All fingerprints obtained by the Licensee pursuant to this 
Order must be submitted to the Commission for transmission to the 
FBI. Additionally, the Licensee shall submit a certification of the 
trustworthiness and reliability of the T&R Official as determined in 
accordance with paragraph B.2 of this Order. The Licensee shall 
review the information received from the FBI and consider it, in 
conjunction with the trustworthiness and reliability requirements of 
the IC Order, in making a determination whether to grant unescorted 
access to certain radioactive materials.
    5. The Licensee shall use any information obtained as part of a 
criminal history records check solely for the purpose of determining 
an individual's suitability for unescorted access to risk 
significant radioactive materials equal to or greater than the 
quantities listed in Attachment B.
    6. The Licensee shall document the basis for its determination 
whether to grant, or continue to allow unescorted access to risk 
significant radioactive materials equal to or greater than the 
quantities listed in Attachment B.

Prohibitions

    A Licensee shall not base a final determination to deny an 
individual unescorted access to certain radioactive material solely 
on the basis of information received from the FBI involving: an 
arrest more than one (1) year old for which there is no information 
of the disposition of the case, or an arrest that resulted in 
dismissal of the charge or an acquittal.
    A Licensee shall not use information received from a criminal 
history check obtained pursuant to this Order in a manner that would 
infringe upon the rights of any individual under the First Amendment 
to the Constitution of the United States, nor shall the Licensee use 
the information in any way which would discriminate among 
individuals on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, or 
age.

Right To Correct and Complete Information

    Prior to any final adverse determination, the Licensee shall 
make available to the individual the contents of any criminal 
records obtained from the FBI for the purpose of assuring correct 
and complete information. Written confirmation by the individual of 
receipt of this notification must be maintained by the Licensee for 
a period of one (1) year from the date of the notification.
    If, after reviewing the record, an individual believes that it 
is incorrect or incomplete in any respect and wishes to change, 
correct, or update the alleged deficiency, or to explain any matter 
in the record, the individual may initiate challenge procedures. 
These procedures include either direct application by the individual 
challenging the record to the agency (i.e., law enforcement agency) 
that contributed the questioned information, or direct challenge as 
to the accuracy or completeness of any entry on the criminal history 
record to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice 
Information Services (CJIS) Division, ATTN: SCU, Mod.D-2, 1000 
Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV 26306 (as set forth in 28 CFR 
Part 16.30 through 16.34). In the latter case, the FBI forwards the 
challenge to the agency that submitted the data and requests that 
agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an 
Official communication directly from the agency that contributed the 
original information, the FBI CJIS Division makes any changes 
necessary in accordance with the information supplied by that 
agency. The Licensee must provide at least ten (10) days for an 
individual to initiate an action challenging the results of an FBI 
identification and criminal history records check after the record 
is made available for his/her review. The Licensee may make a final 
unescorted access to certain radioactive material determination 
based upon the criminal history record only upon receipt of the 
FBI's ultimate confirmation or correction of the record. Upon a 
final adverse determination on unescorted access to certain 
radioactive material, the Licensee shall provide the individual its 
documented basis for denial. Unescorted access to certain 
radioactive material shall not be granted to an individual during 
the review process.

Protection of Information

    1. Each Licensee who obtains a criminal history record on an 
individual pursuant to this Order shall establish and maintain a 
system of files and procedures for protecting the record and the 
personal information from unauthorized disclosure.
    2. The Licensee may not disclose the record or personal 
information collected and maintained to persons other than the 
subject individual, his/her representative, or to those who have a 
need to access the information in performing assigned duties in the 
process of determining unescorted access to certain radioactive 
material. No individual authorized to have access to the information 
may re-disseminate the information to any other individual who does 
not have a need-to-know.
    3. The personal information obtained on an individual from a 
criminal history record check may be transferred to another Licensee 
if the Licensee holding the criminal history record check receives 
the individual's written request to re-disseminate the information 
contained in his/her file, and the gaining Licensee verifies 
information such as the individual's name, date of birth, social 
security number, sex, and other applicable physical characteristics 
for identification purposes.
    4. The Licensee shall make criminal history records, obtained 
under this section, available for examination by an authorized 
representative of the NRC to determine compliance with the 
regulations and laws.
    5. The Licensee shall retain all fingerprint and criminal 
history records from the FBI, or a copy if the individual's file has 
been transferred, for three (3) years after termination of 
employment or determination of unescorted access to certain 
radioactive material (whether unescorted access was approved or 
denied). After the required three (3) year period, these documents 
shall be destroyed by a method that will prevent reconstruction of 
the information in whole or in part.
