i Enclosure Comment'. 6n Draft Regulatory Guide DG-5008 Soutbem Nuclear submits the following comments for consideration:

Regulatory Guide (RO) 5.62. Revision 1 - Position 2.2, Example 2, or the word "credn ' "

needs to be added before " omb th*:at or extortion threats." By adding the word credib.e it brings into play the steps contained in the definition for " credible throat" in Appendix A.

Regula'ory Position 2.2, Eumples 16 and 21 need to be combined with Example 12. Tb-new wording can address unaccoanted for, lost, or stolen key cards, identification %

blanks, or any access control media that could allow unauthorized access or that - it - ~

someon: using the medium foi improper access. Material access areas can be et "

list of areas bela accessed, All thre6 of these examples address the same scenar.

Regulatory Position 2.2, Example 17 reeds to include the fact that the incoihplete or ,

inaccurate information was the result of the intent to use fraud W "in improper access.

There we several cases ofincomplete or inaccurate informatir. ;b da significant nature the does not involve the malicious intent to defraud. These case, should be logged but not reported as a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> report, Regulatory Position 2.4, Example 1 needs to be deleted. This event is encompassed in Exampla 8 and puts the computer failure in the proper context for being logged.

Regulatory Position 2.4, Example 9 needs to have the reference to " security computers" removed. Security Computer failures are covered in Emuple 8. Also this example references Exampic 16 in Regulatory Position 2.2 wnich does not have any relationship to this example.

Regulatory Position 2.4,2xample 14 should be deleted. This ncat is encompassed in Example 9.

Regulatory Position 2.4, Example 18.9 needs to be supplemented to include information that would hau resulted in denial of access if1: intent to defraud is not found to be the reason for the incomplete or inaccurate information.

Regulatory Position 2.5, Example 6 needs to have the word " malevolent" inserted before the last " tampering." Thir. will clarify tb". .ntent of 6% cxample and link it with the wording in Regulatory Position 2.2 Example 9.
