NRC Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Update October 17, 2019 John Moses, NRC CUI Senior Agency Official Tanya Mensah, Controlled Unclassified Information Program Manager
Key Messages Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) will replace the NRCs current Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) program in the fall of 2021.
During the transition to the CUI program, all elements of the NRCs existing SUNSI program will remain in place.
The NRC is committed to minimizing the impact of this transition for NRC internal and external stakeholders, where feasible.
Status NRC Policy: A high-level NRC CUI Policy Statement is expected to be published in June 2020.
Guidance: MD 12.6, NRC Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Program, is expected to be published in July 2020.
NRC CUI Rulemaking: To support the NRCs transition to CUI, the NRC plans to replace explicit references to SUNSI with more generalized terms.
CUI Training: The NRC will develop and provide CUI Basic Awareness Training for all NRC staff, contractors, and detailees to take prior to implementing CUI at the NRC.
Licensee Handling of CUI CUI includes only information the government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possess on behalf of the government (e.g. a contractor).
Licensees will only have to apply CUI controls to information received from the federal government pursuant to a written agreement or arrangement.
Licensees will continue to comply with the markings specified in NRC regulations. Examples include:
- 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding
- 10 CFR Part 73, Physical Protection of Plants and Materials 4

Discuss the NRCs plans to transition to CUI.
