Subject:

PROPOSED REVISIONS TO 10 CFR S 73.71, NOTIFICATION REQUIRE-MENTS FOR SAFEGUARDS EVENTS Puroose: To present for Commission consideration proposed amendments to 10 CFR S 73.71 designed to improve the clarity and effec-l tiveness of the present rule dealing with reporting of safe-gLards events.

Discussion: The safeguards event reporting requirements of 10 CFR S 73.71 were established to ensure that the Commission is informed in a timely manner of significant incidents involving the security of certain nuclear facilities and activities. The "

staff believes that the categories of reportable events can be simplified without affecting the NRC's ability to respond to incidents and collect data on possible generic safeguards problems. At the same time, more detailed information is  ;

needed on the events that are reported. Accordingly, certain categories of safeguards events have been eliminated in the <

proposed rule such as moderate and major losses, and explicit and potential threats. These events have been redefined in less abstract terms to aid the licensee in responding to the

A revised regulatory guide is proposed in support of the  ;

proposed amendments that provides a format for making written '

reports and specifies the level of information needed by the  !

Examine comments received and the regulatory evaluation at: The NRC Public Document Room, 1717 H Street NW., Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Priscilla A. Dwyer, Regulatory Activ-ities Section, Division of Safeguards, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Telephone (301) 427-4010. .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 10 CFR S 73.71 establishes an event reporting program to inform the Commission of safeguards events to permit timely response to incidents. The data from this reporting program allows the Commission to determine the significance of events to identify possible I

generic problems in safeguards systems.

Paragraphs (a) and (b) of S 73.71 were first. published in December 1973 (38 FR 35430). They require reports of unaccountet for shipments of special nuclear material, incidents or attempts of theft or unlawful diversion of special nuclear material, and incidents or attempts of sabo-tage. Subsequently, the Commission determined that it also needed reports of events which could be indicative of a loss of safeguards capability or circumstances which could be part of an overall plan to commit an act of t theft or sabotage. In response to the Commission concern that a substan- ,

i tial public hazard could~ occur as a result of a deficiency in a given licensee's safeguards program, an amendment to 10 CFR S 73.71 was pro-posedinOctober 1979 (44 FR 60743) that requires reports of events that i

1 threaten certain nuclear activities or lessen the effectiveness of a safe-  ;

guards system. This amendment was published in January 1981 (46 FR 4858)  ;

in final form, as a new paragraph (c) to 9 73.71.

l 2 Attachment 1 ,

[/wu-01]

Since the promulgation of 10 CFR S 73.71, the NRC staff has found that the requirements were frequently misinterpreted, that reports sub-ncpla fio n v mittedpursuanttothetdlelac(ugiformity,andthatinsufficientdetail V is reported for NRC analysis. Unless these problems can be corrected, the e> v' "

the usefulness of weh reports in developing an adequate data base for generic analysis is limited. For these reasons, the Commission is propos-ing clarifying amendments to 10 CFR S 73.71 and issuing revised guidance to assist licensees in determining which events should be reported and to provide a format for doing so.

For clarity, the distinction between an explicit and a potential threat has been removed. This distinction is now made clearer in the descriptions of applicable events. The categories of major and moderate losses have been eliminated and replaced by the descriptions of each type of loss. The losses are: " failures of the safeguards system that could allow unauthorized and undet'ected access" and " failures that degrade the effectiveness of the system."

The primary impact of the revised reporting requirements on licensees will be an increase in the level of detail required in the reporting of events. However, recurring events of the same type can be consolidated into a single report. Also, the number of telephonic notifications to the NRC is expected to decrease by approximately 80 percent because the twenty-four hour telephonic notification requirement has been deleted.

The twenty-four hour requirement has been dropped because the revised requireEehtswillensurethatalleventsofsignificancewillbereported within one hour.

3 Attachment I l

i (7590-01]

-The requ.irements of 9 73.71 are not intended to be duplicative or inconsistent with those of SS 50.72 and 50.73. Events reported under SS 50.72 and 50.73 are safety-oriented in nature; those reported under 9 73.71 are security-oriented. Proposed changes to S 73.71 do not alter commitments made in response to the requirements of Part 50. Events of a dual nature, having both safety and security impact, are reportable under Part 50 requirements.

tL1., This proposed rule amends information collection requirements that qg{g are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

This rule has been suomitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval of the paperwork requirements.

3 Based on the information available at this stage of the rulemaking proceeding and in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Commission hereby certifies that if promulgated, this rule will not have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities. There is a possibility that some transporters, importers, and exporters of strategic special nuclear material (SSNM) and spent fuel will be affected by this rule.

If they feel it will have an adverse impact on them, we invite comments to that effect. The proposed i
