The Bulletin requested that all holders of operating licenses submit a written response within 60 days in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," paragraph (f). The Bulletin requested information in the following five areas to determine the status of licensee 'programs regarding the adequate and consistent implementation of their security programs in light of recent security-based incidents at certain sites:

(1) How do you identify, report and document human performance issues involving inattentiveness, especially complicity among licensee security personnel including security contractors and subcontractolrs? Include a description of actions staff and supervisors take to prevent, identify and correct instances of security personnel inattentiveness, especially complicity, and address how employee concerns related to security personnel inattentiveness and complicity are addressed.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comniission Page 2 LR-N08-0041 Examples of the types of information to include when providing your response to Question (1) are:

a. Describe the means used to maintain the attentiveness and vigilance of your security personnel such as through the effective use of job/post rotations: communication checks, (audio/visual) audio stimuli; (e.g.,

radio), and other attentiveness stimuli for security posts where appropriate, based on the nature of duties.

b. Describe how you ensure that environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, lighting, and noise levels do not degrade attentiveness or vigilance.
c. Describe how you monitor the attentiveness and vigilance of security personnel, such as through behavioral observation by supervisors/managers, behavioral observation by peers, and video surveillance.

(2) How do you ensure that all employees and contractors report security concerns and any perceived security conditions that reduce the safety or security of a licensee facility? How do you ensure that staff is aware that there is no retaliation for self-reporting of inattentiveness or complicity or for reporting others?

(3) How do you -ensure that managers and supervisors provide oversight of BOP adherence to ensure there is no complicity to circumvent the program or failure to report wrongdoing or careless disregard of the regulations?

(4) What are the results of any self-assessments performed within the last 2 years associated with the items above? Specifically, what do you do to assess the effectiveness of your employee access authorization program?
