SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
i
Background
i Existing day firing qualification courses for Tactical Response Team members', armed response personnel, and guards at Category I licensees 2
3
.i l
need to be modified to require enhanced proficiency in weapon manipulation skills in order to more effectively protect the facilities in the event of a hostile tactical engagement.
Currently, Tactical Response Team members, armed response personnel, and guards at t.1ese facilities are required to qualify and annually requalify for day firing of their assigned weapons in accordance with criteria set forth in Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 73.
This appendix states that, for handgun qualification, the national police course of fire or an equivalent nationally recognized course is required and for semiautomatic rifles the course required is the 1976 edition of the National Rifle j
Association (NRA) Highpower Rifle Rules book or an equivalent nationally recognized course.
For qualification with the shotgun, the currer.: course of fire consists of hip firing the weapon from a 15-yard distance and shoulder firing from a 25-yard distance.
These courses of fire are more oriented towards marksmanship than to weapons manipulation skills (e.g., reloading, shooting failure drills, and changing nositions while firing). Although these
'" Tactical Response Team" means the primary response force for each shift which can be identified by a distinctive item of uniform, armed with specified weapons, and whose other duties permit immediate response.
2" Armed Response Personnel" means persons, not necessarily uniformed, whose primary duty in the event of attempted theft of special nuclear material or radiological sabotage shall be to respond, armed and equipped, to prevent or delay such actions.

marksmanship oriented courses were appropriate at the time they were j
specified, the NRC has developed an increased awareness of the evolution of 1
the capabilities and tactics employed by the criminal and terrorist elements.
Therefore, the NRC has specified, in 10 CFR 73.1, the capabilities that should i
be ascribed to individuals or groups that pose a threat to Category I i
facilities (i.e., the design basis threat). These assumed capabilities should constitute the basis for physical protection system design.
The design basis threat includes a small, well trained and armed, dedicated group, possessing paramilitary capabilities.
For the reasons explained above, the NRC has decided to establish new day firing courses for the purpose of qualifying Tactical Response Team members, armed response personnel, and guards at Category I licensees for use 1
of their assigned weapons. The techniques and methods required to successfully complete the day firing qualification courses specified in this j
l final rule are oriented primarily toward weapons manipulation skills in l
addition to marksmanship and are considered necessary to survive a lethal confrontation. These amendments require that Tactical Response Team members, armed response personnel, and guards qualify and annually requalify for day firing with assigned weapons by meeting minimum qualification criteria specified in Appendix H of 10 CFR Part 73.
The day firing qualification l
courses defined in this final rule are largely based on those developed by the Department of Energy for the purpose of qualifying its security inspectors who have the same duties as Category I licensee Tactical Response Teams, armed response personnel, and guards. These courses of fire include weapons manipulation skills that are necessary in tactical situations and demonstrate the ability to effectively use the weapons to protect the facility and 3
1 1
1 strategic special nuclear material from a group of individuals possessing the i
capabilities ascribed to the design basis threat.
Summary of Public Comments The comment period for the proposed rule published December 13, 1991 (56 FR 65024) expired on March 13, 1992.
This Federal Register Notice contained proposed requirements for both day firing qualification and physical fitness programs. Three letters of comment were received.
The NRC has decided to make substantive changes to the physical fitness related requirements and is republishing these amended requirements in a new proposed rule to solicit i
additional public comment. Therefore, this comment summary addresses only the i
comments on the day firing qualification course requirements which are being published as a final rula. The following comment summary and resolution addresses these comments.
I 1.
Comment.
One commenter stated that the need has not been clearly established for the more stringent firearms qualifications regulations.
Response.
As discussed in the preamble of the proposed rule, the purpose of the more stringent day firing qualification courses was to make them consistent regarding the level of specificity and proficiency with the night firing requirements published in 1988.
Because existing licensees' Weapons Qualifications Plans contained weapon qualification courses which were judged to be similar to the courses being proposed, the proposed rule stated the opinion that codifying the courses in a regulation would add no new burden to the existing licensees.
Nevertheless, as a result of this comment, the NRC 4
l I
l
i i
reviewed whether the benefits to the public health and safety or to the national defense and security justify more stringent firearms qualification courses than those provided by the existing regulation.
This review has determined that these marksmanship oriented courses were appropriate at the time they were developed, but the NRC has developed an increased awareness of the evolution of the capabilities and tactics employed by the criminal and terrorist elements. The knowledge that the NRC has concerning the firepower, body armor, tactics, training, and equipment which can be ascribed to the design basis threat has broadened since Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 73 was established and has been accounted for in 10 CFR 73.l(a)(2)(i).
The design basis threat includes a small, well trained and armed, dedicated group, possessing paramilitary capabilities. Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 73 allows handgun qualification via the national police course of fire, and rifle qualification via a 1976 National Rifle Association rulebook. These courses of fire emphasize marksmanship and do not test weapons manipulation skills (e.g., reloading, shooting failure drills, and changing positions while firing). The techniques and methods required to successfully complete the day firing qualification courses specified in this final rule are oriented toward weapons manipulation skills in addition to marksmanship and are considered to provide a significant improvement in the ability of licensee security forces to survive a lethal confrontation.
2.
Comment.
One commenter requested that Appendix H of 10 CFR 73.46 specify how head shots are to be scored for stage 2 of the handgun course.
Resoonse.
The B-27 target consists of a silhouette of a standing person and c:ntains qualification scoring rings for shots aimed at the center target mass, but not the head.
Stage 2 of the handgun qualification course of 5
fire requires the shooter to fire two rounds at the center target mass followed by one round at the head.
A description of a template for the center of the head, and the scoring scheme, are described in Appendix A of the Department of Energy's " Firearms Qualification Courses."
Hits in the center of this template are scored five points and hits on the remainder of the silhouette are scored three points.
The NRC does not believe that further description of this scoring technique in Appendix H of 10 CFR 73.46 is necessary. However, the NRC recognizes that other targets exist for which the scoring technique may be more explicit (such as the TQ-15 target).
Therefore, Appendix H has been amended in the final rule to allow the use of such targets as an alternative to the B-27 provided that these targets are at least as difficult as the B-27 target (e.g., neck shots should not count the same as head shots or center mass shots).
3.
Comment.
Two commenters noted an error in that the handgun course contained distances of both 14 and 15 yards.
Resoonse. Appendix H has been amended to correct this error.
4.
Comment. One commenter suggested that the NRC allow either a single j
i or double action revolver for stage 7 at the 50-yard distance in the handgun course (Note: the commenter identified stage 6 of the handgun course but the 50 yard distance is only found in stage 7).
Resconse. The NRC does not believe that the wording for stage 7 needs modification. Stage 7 of the handgun qualification course of fire does i
not specify a single or double action revolver, because either is permitted.
Therefore, this modification has not been made.
5.
Comment.
One commenter noted that stages 5 and 6 of the rifle course were to be used for.30 caliber weapons for TRT qualifications only.
6
l 1
l The commenter stated that this limits the maximum score for the standard rifle I
(i.e., stages 1 through 4) to 110 points and suggested that 70% of this l
maximum score (77 points) be specified as the minimum qualifying score for the standard rifle instead of 70% of 150 points.
Response.
The tJRC agrees that minimum qualifying scores should be specified separately for standard and larger caliber rifles because there may be times that a security officer may need to qualify for one but not the other.
Therefore, the specific qualifying scores have been deleted from Appendix H which now specifies that 70 percent is the minimum qualifying score.
t 6.
Comment.
One commenter suggested that failure to qualify should
]
t result in a 3-day suspension from armed duty rather than the proposed 7-day suspension. The commenter stated that the 7-day suspension may cause the individual to be out of a job for 7 days before he could requalify.
The j
commenter noted that nonqualified persor.nel would usually be utilized in an a
unarmed position. However, because few of these positions exist, the 7-day waiting period could cause layoffs.
Another commenter stated that the 7-day and 12-month suspensions are potentially the most significant and costly impacts of the rule.
This commenter stated that extending the_ waiting periods beyond the time required to retrain the officer appears to be punitive, does
~
not enhance the security program's effectiveness, and induces unnecessary costs.
The commenter suggested that the rule be amended to require that an officer who fails to achieve the minimum qualifying score be removed from armed officer duty and complete a documented period of retraining prior to any subsequent attempt to qualify or requalify.
The commenter further suggested that the f4RC consider requiring that officers may not fire for record more 7
than once on the same calendar day. Additionally, if an officer f ails to qualify on two successive attempts, that individual would be reouired to receive additional training and fire two consecutive qualifying scores prior to being reassigned to armed officer duties.
Response.
The NRC agrees that retraining an individual to the point of cualifying or requalifying can be accomplished in less time than the period specified in the proposed rule.
Therefore, the NRC has adopted the suggestion to limit the suspension to the amount of time required to retrain individuals to tr.e point that they can qualify or requalify and believes that this change satisfies the concerns of both commenters.
7.
Comment.
One commenter suggested that the same rationale for allcwing multiple physical fitness qualifications be used in the development of weapons qualifications. The commenter stated that these qualifications, like the physical fitness qualifications, would reflect consistency with the environments in which individuals must perform their duties. The commenter further suggested that the weapons qualification requirements are appropriate
(
for IRT members but are excessive for armed response personnel and for " static res:Onse positions" (e.g., operators of central and secondary alarm stations l
and security personnel which control entry or exit portals).
Response.
This commenter is referring to the fact that physical fitness performance testing which was also contained in the proposed rulemaking (56 FR 65024) required Tactical Response Team members to pass a more stringent test than guards and armed response personnel. This was l
l because the TRT members duties were to perform offensive combative tasks as opposed to defensive combative tasks required of cther security personnel.
The tiRC disagrees that this logic can also be applied to weapons qualification 8
l l
l
courses.
It is recognized that physical capabilities required fcr Tactical Response Team members, armed response personnel, and guards to perform their duties satisfactorily vary depending upon job tasks.
But, any arrea response officer on site, regardless of duty station, could be involved in a violent confrontation requiring the use of his or her weapon, especially in areas of access or egress control.
As a matter of f act, the reason that the 3-yard distance is included in the rule for weapon qualification for hanc;uns is that violent confrontations which occur at access or egress locations are expected to be at close range.
Also, the rule as written already limits the training to cnly assigned weapons.
Therefore, the NRC has decided not to 5: opt this commenter's suggestion.
8.
Comment.
One commenter suggested that handgun qualification be limited to 25 yards or less because physical security personnel have shoulder firea weapons available for shots of greater distance.
Resoonse.
The NRC recognizes that the 50-yard distance is near the maximum distance at which a handgun is effective for the average shooter.
However, the NRC believes that security officers should be familiar with hanagun performance at greater distances because an adversary could penetrate the protected area in such a short period of time that the security officer may be tempted to use a handgun instead of retrieving a shoulder fired weapon.
Because the current requirement in Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 73 references the national police course, which requires a total of 24 shots fired, applying the final rule in Appendix H is actually a relaxation of the requirement because it calls for only 6 shots.
For these reasons the NRC believes that the requirement is reasonable and has retained it in the final rule.
9
l l
9.
Comment. One commenter suggested that the position description in i
i the handgun course be amended from " reload with six rounds" to " reload" because the automatic pistol aill reload in a different manner than the j
1 revolver.
Resoonse.
The NRC agrees with this comment and Appendix H has been I
i l
modified to reflect this suggested change in the final rule.
l
- 10. Comment. One commenter stated, without providing the rationale, that the timing for qualifying with handguns (stage 1 and 4, string 3) and for rifles (stage 2 at 25 yards) are unrealistic and additional time should be considered.
J Response.
The NRC believes that the times prescribed in the handgun i
qualification course of fire are justified. Although law enforcement statistics show that police officers seldom fire, reload, and continue a confrontation, the NRC Design Basis Threat ascribes greater capabilities to l
adversaries engaged in malevolent activities against Category I licensees than those typically encountered during law enforcement type engagements.
The security officers must be able to manipulate their weapons skillfully and precisely. Being able to draw and reload quickly and efficiently while l
maintaining a continuity of fire under realistic time constraints is important i
for defense of a facility undergoing attack. Therefore, the NRC has retained the timing requirement for the reload position in the day firing qualification l
Course.
- 11. Comment.
One commenter suggested that the shotgun course allow the use of either 00 buckshot or rifled slugs because some facilities do not use rifled slugs.
10 l
l i
I Response.
The 11RC agrees with this comment and Appendix H has been modified accordingly.
12.
Comment.
One commenter suggested that footnote 4 of Appendix H of 10 CFR Part 73 be amended to indicate that stages 5 and 6 of the rifle qualification course are to be used for.30 caliber or larger rifles. As it l
l stands, only.30 caliber rifles would be used in stage 5 and stage 6.
l Response.
The NRC agrees that clarification is needed and footnote 4 of Appendix H has been modified to indicate that stages 5 and 6 pertain to rifles.30 caliber or larger.
l
- 13. Comment.
One commenter requested that the position column of the i
t t
i rifle course, which requires the safety to be in the on position at the i
beginning of each string, be amended to allow the weapon to be uncocked with the magazine inserted. The weapon used by this commenter, the Colt AR-15, requires cocking in order to use the safety selector.
Response.
The NRC agrees with this comment and has amended the final rule to delete the requirement that the safety be in the on position at the beginning of each string in the rifle qualification course of fire.
14.
Comment.
One commenter had a general comment concerning the implementation schedule. This commenter stated that the amount of time allowed for implementation should be increased from 180 days to 1 year, j
Response.
The f1RC believes that implementation of the new firearms
(
qualification course within 180 days does not place an undue burden on its Category I licensees and has retained this implementation schedule.
Criminal Penalties 11
l i
l The Commission notes that these amendments are issued uncer Sections 1
161 b and i of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, l
violation of these regulations may subject a person to criminal sanctions j
under Section 223 of the Atomic Energy Act.
f' Use of fietric System by Nuclear Industry i
On October 7,1992 (57 FR 46202), the Commission issued a Policy Statement on Conversion to the Metric System by the Nuclear Industry.
This policy states that all new regulations will be published in dual units.
However the NRC has determined that there are no standards readily available I
in the United States for weapons firing courses measured in metric units and that it would be confusing and inappropriate to publish the day firing qualification courses in dual units.
Therefore, the final rule retains the English units of measurement.
i Finding of no Significant Environmental Impact: Availability l
The NRC has determined under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the NRC's regulations in Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51, that this rule will not be a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. The rule does not adversely affect the routine release of radioactivity, exposure to radiation, or the safety of the operations carried cut by licensees possessing formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material. The amendments specify new day firing qualification 12

r courses for armed Tactical Response Team members, armed response personnel, 1
and guards to ensure that they are able to perform their assigned cuties.
The environmental assessment and finding of r.o significant impact on which this cetermination is based is available for inspection at the NRC j

This final rule amends information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
These requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget approval number 3150-0002.

Regulatory Analysis t
i j
The f4RC has prepared a regulatory analysis for these amendments. The 1
analyris examines the costs and benefits of the alternatives considered by the i
i f4RC and provides a decision rationale for the chosen approach.
The analysis is available for inspection in the fiRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, f1W. (Lower Level), Washington, DC.
Single copies of the analysis may be i
obtained from Ms. Carrie Brown, Office of fluclear Material Safety and i

l Regulatory Flexibility Certification i
i i
In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C.
{
605(b), the Commission certifies that this rulemaking will not have a
{
significant economic impact upon a substr-ial number of small entities. The 4
j rule affects two licen.;ees who operate fuel fabrication facilities possessing i
j formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material licensed in 1
j accordance with 10 CfR Parts 70 and 73.
The companies that own these i
facilities do not fall within the scope of the definition of "small entities"
(
set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility Act,15 U.S.C. 632, or tne Small A
Business Size Standards set out in regulations issued by the Small Business Administration in 13 CFR Part 121.
Thus, this rule does not fall within the purview of the act.
s 14
Backfit Analysis i
The Commission has cetermined that the backfit rule, 10 CFR 50.109, does not apply to this final rule because these amendments do not impose requirements on existing 10 CFR Part 50 licensees.
Therefore, a backfit analysis was not prepared for this rule.
