SUBJECT:
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO 10 CFR 573.71, SAFEGUARDS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Attached is a draft rule package proposing revisions to 10 CFR 573.71, safeguards event reporting requirements. These revisions are intended to make the requirements more reasonable and improve the NRC data base of safeguards events for more effective generic analysis. This package has already been circulated to the Regions, and their coninents have been accommodated.
Some notable changes include deletion of the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> telephonic reportable and extension of all time periods for submission of written event reportscategory' to 30 days.

Subject:
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO 10 CFR S 73.71, NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS I FOR SAFEGUARDS EVENTS
Purpose:
To present for Commission consideration proposed amendments to I 10 CFR S 73.71 designed to improve the clarity and effectiveness of-the present rule dealing with reporting of safeguards events. !
l Discussion: The safeguards event reporting requirements of 10 CFR S 73.71 were i established to ensure that the Commission is informed in a timely f
manner of significant incidents involving the security of certain [
nuclear facilities and activities. The staff believes that some of the current reporting requirements can be relaxed without significantly affecting the NRC's ability to respond to incidents and collect data on possible generic safeguards problems. Accordingly, certain cate- !
gories of safeguards events have been eliminated in.the proposed rule [
such as moderate and major losses, and explicit and potential threats.
f These events have been redefined in less abstract terms to aid the j licensee in responding to the requirements. Also, the current twenty- !
four hour telephonic notification requirements for certain events have been eliminated. Events that must be reported are described in a new
- p App *endix G to Part 73. i

ABW The Commissioners 2 Draft guidance in support of the proposed amendments provides a format for making written reports and specifies the level of information needed by the NRC. This will increase the uniformity of reports, in addition to providing the NRC with a more detailed data base necessary for assessing generic safeguards problems.
The proposed revision to 10 CFR S 73.71 requirements will no ifi-j cantly increase the cost of reporting requirements to the licensees
.,j
[ or the NRC. Estimated total increase in cost for the industry is
'e 'per year. Annual NRC costs are estimated to increase by $21.6K.
Recommendations: That the Commission:
- 1. Approve the amendments .ns set forth in Attachment 1 for publication j
1 as a proposed rule revision in the Federal Register, with a 90-day public comment period.
~
- 2. In order to satisfy the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), certify that this rule will not have a -
significant economic impact on a substantial numter of small entities.
- 3. Note:
- a. That the value/ impact statement appearing in Attachment 3 will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
- b. That the draft guidance will be made publicly available
.. ; . . concurrently with publication of this amendment.
- c. That, in accordance with 10 CFR 51.5(d)(3), neither environ-mental impact statements nor negative declarations need to be prepared since the proposed amendments are not significant from the standpoint of environmental impact.

ments that are subject to review by the Office of Management i and Budget. Upon Commission affirmation, formal request for OMB review and clearance will be initiated.

The purpo.se of paragraph (c) was to provide information concerning threats to certain nuclear activities, and security system failures whereby the NRC could identify recurrent safeguards problems and generic issues.

The rele42ng"ege has been reorganized _for the- c r ty he distinction'between explicit and potential threat has been removed ,
and " threats" are included in the descriptions of applicable events.
t The categories of major and moderate losses have been eliminated and replaced by " failures of the safeguards system that could allow unauthorized and undetected access" and " failures that degrade the operational effective-ness of the system."
The revised re' porting requirements should have little impact on licensees. The only significant change to affect the licensee will be tit w . w

rule.-If they. feel it will have an adverse impact on them, we invite comments to that effect. The proposed rule affects power reactor licensees who operate nuclear power plants under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 73, fuel facilities, transporters, importers and exporters of SSNM and spent fuel.
The companies that own these plants do not fall within the scope of the definition of "small entities" set forth in Section 601(3) of the Regul'a-tory Flexibility Act, or within the definition of Small Business Size Standards set out in regulations issued by the Small Business Administra-tion in 13 CFR Part 121.

These reports will be made to the NRC Operations Center via the Emergency Notification System, if the licensee is a party to that system. If the Emergency Notification Systems is inoperative or unavailable, the licensee shall make the required notifications via commercial telephone service l
or other dedicated telephone systems or any other method which will ensure a report being made promptly to the NRC Operations Center.
The licensee shall, upon request of the NRC, maintain an open and continuous communications channel with the NRC Operations Center.
Each licensee who conducts a trace investigation shall also submit, within 30 days of the onset of the investigation, a written report to the appropriate Regional Office listed in Appendix A of Part 73 of this Chapter setting forth the details and results of the trace investigation. A copy of the written report (s) shall be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Director of Inspection and Enforcement, Washington, DC 20555. After the submission of the written report required by this paragraph, the licensee shall inform the appropriate Regional Office by means of a telephonic report of i
i any substantive additional information which may become available to

The one-hour time period begins upon discovery of the event by a licensee employee or member of the licensee security organization. If the Emergency Notification System is inoperative or unavailable, the licensee shall make the required notifications via commercial telephone service or other dedicated telephone systems, or any other method which will ensure a report being made within one hour to the NRC Operations Center.
The licensee shall, upon request of the NRC, maintain an open and continuous communication channel with 'the NRC Operations Center.
The initial notification must be followed within a period of thirty (30) days by a written report submitted to the approrriate Regional Office shown in Appendix A of this part setting forth the details of the incident. A copy of the written report shall be sent to the Director of Inspection and Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. After submission of the written report required by this paragraph, a licensee shall inform the appropriate Regional Office by means of a telephonic report of any substantive additional information which becomes available to the licens*ee concerning the incident.
