SUBJECT:
RE-EVALUATION OF CATEGORY 3 SOURCE SECURITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Dear Ms. Fairobent:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is currently evaluating whether it is necessary to revise NRC regulations or processes governing source protection and accountability for Category 3 sources as directed by the Staff Requirements Memorandum for COMJMB-16-0001 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16292A812). The number of NRC and Agreement State licensees that could be affected by this effort exceeds 5,000.
An important part of NRCs evaluation is soliciting input from the regulated community, many of whom have not been subject to enhanced security and accountability requirements. The NRC has published a Federal Register Notice (FRN), 82 FR 2399, which contains specific questions for stakeholders to consider regarding Category 3 source security and accountability.
Additionally, the NRC will hold public meetings and webinars to facilitate feedback on the FRN and will provide presentations to industry groups and professional organizations to solicit feedback from a wide range of affected stakeholders. Further information on this effort, updates, and public meeting details can be found at:
https://www.nrc.gov/security/byproduct/category-3-source-security-accountability-reevaluation.html.
L. Fairobent Your input on this re-evaluation is important in order to fully assess the regulatory impact for any recommendations that will be made on this subject. Please consider responding to the specific questions in the FRN as well as participating in our public meetings and webinars.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. DeGrooth:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is currently evaluating whether it is necessary to revise NRC regulations or processes governing source protection and accountability for Category 3 sources as directed by the Staff Requirements Memorandum for COMJMB-16-0001 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16292A812). The number of NRC and Agreement State licensees that could be affected by this effort exceeds 5,000.
An important part of NRCs evaluation is soliciting input from the regulated community, many of whom have not been subject to enhanced security and accountability requirements. The NRC has published a Federal Register Notice (FRN), 82 FR 2399, which contains specific questions for stakeholders to consider regarding Category 3 source security and accountability.
Additionally, the NRC will hold public meetings and webinars to facilitate feedback on the FRN and will provide presentations to industry groups and professional organizations to solicit feedback from a wide range of affected stakeholders. Further information on this effort, updates, and public meeting details can be found at:
https://www.nrc.gov/security/byproduct/category-3-source-security-accountability-reevaluation.html.
D. DeGrooth Your input on this re-evaluation is important in order to fully assess the regulatory impact for any recommendations that will be made on this subject. Please consider responding to the specific questions in the FRN as well as participating in our public meetings and webinars.
Sincerely,
/RA/
