U' MEMORANDUM FOR: John G. Davis, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM: Patricia G. Norry, Director Office of Administration
SUBJECT:
REVISION OF 10 CFR PART 11, FINAL RULE The Office of Administration reviewed and concurs in the final rule revising Part 11 subject to the modifications contained in this memorandum and in the marked copy. Noted in the margins of the rule are minor editorial coments.
Specific coments are discussed below.
- 1. The Division of Security recently decided to explore the possibility of informing licensees of changes in OPM investigation fees by letter instead of making frequent amendments to the regulations in 10 CFR, Upon implementation of this decision, the Division of Security has agreed to take responsibility for making the amendment to Part 11 that sets out the annual fees paid by licensees for OPM investigations at the same time these changes are made in Part 25.
- 2. On pages 7, 8, and 9 of the final rule where reference is made to the Ate of sixty days from the effective date of this regulation, sufficient blank space should be left in the text so that the Office of the Secretary, after consultation with the Office of the Federal Register, may insert a date certain into the regulatory text.
- 3. The Document Management Branch, TIDC, reviewed the Paperwork requirements contained in this rule and determined that justification for additional information collection requirements included in the rule since their last review would need to be provided. Mrs. Shelton will be sending you a memorandum concerning this issue.
- 4. References to this rule as a " proposed amendment" in the memoranda prepared for the ED0 should be clarified to reflect its status as a final rule.
- 5. We have enclosed standard boilerplate text that explains that this rule is being published without opportunity for public comment; however, this text should be expanded to include the rationale offered by OELD on this point.

APPROVED FOR PUBLICATION
.-o. ... ~ .,
In 'a' final rule pub.lished March 19, 1982 (47 ,FR 11816), the Commission delegated to the EDO (10 CFR 1.40(c) and (d)) the authority to develop and promulgate rules as defined in the APA (5 U.S.C. 551(4) subject to the limitations in NRC Manual Chapter 0103, Organization and Functions, Office of the Executive Director for Operations, paragraphs 0213, 038, 039, and 0310.
The' enclosed rule entitled, " Revised Criteria and Procedures for Determining
~
Eligibility for Access to or Control Over Special Nuclear Material" amends 10 CFR Part 11 to allow utilization of current active Federal clearances based upori equivalent investigations for the purpos.e of granting the NRC special nuclear caterial access authorizations. It also incorporates minor administra-tive changes on fee costs, fee schedules and cancellation or withdrawal of applications for access authorizations.
The r,ynd rule cioes not constitute a significant question of policy, nor does it amend regulations contained in 10 CFR Parts 0, 2, 7, 8, 9, Subpart C or 110. I therefore find that.this rule is within the scope of my rulemaking authority and am prcceeding to issue it.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 10 CFR Part 11 ,
Criteria and Procedures for Detemining Eligibility for Access to or Control Over Special Nuclear Material AGENCY: fluclear Regulatory Comission.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY
- The Nuclear Regulatory Comission is amending the requirements for applications for initial specia,1 nuclear material "U" and "R" access authoriza-tions and for the renewal of "U" acceps authorizations by allowing utilization -
&rM of information on file with the government en those individuals who possess current active clearances based upon equivalent investigations. The amendments will eliminate unnecessary duplication of administrative and investigative co'sts to licerisees for affected individuals as well as ' reduce certain NRC administrative costs.

- - ,_ c SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND .
4 On March 17, 1977 (42 FR 14880), tha NRC published proposed amencments to its regulations which would establish an access authorization program for individuals who have unescorted access to or control over special nuclear material. Written connents were invited and received. On December 28, 1977 (42 FR 64703), the Commission issued a notice of public hearings on the proposed regulations and subsequently established $ Hearing Board to gather additional testimony. A final rule, based ~upon recommendations of the Hearing Board regarding only fuel cycle facilities and transportation, was publ.ished in the Federal Register amending 10 CFR Parts 11, 50, 'and 70 on November 21, 1980 4
(45 FR 76968).
'One of the reasons for undertaking the NRC access authorization program for individuals having access to or control over special nuclear material was to maintain comparability with a similar program of clearances at Department of Energy (D0E) facilities and at mixed DOE /NRC facilities. Subsequently, the ;
population of individuals affected has become one in which DOE /NRC mixed facility employees are by far the dominant segment. Accordingly, the incentive ,
to establish and maintain a comparable and independent N C p ogram has been replaced by an incentive to use as much of the existing IMHf system as possible.
The revisions to 10 CFR Part 11 accomplish this end.
- 4. ,
CONVERSION OF CLEARANCES
, e ... .
- - . Under the-revised Part 11 requirements the NRC would accept an existing perioncal access clearance from any Federal agency, including NRC, DOE or D0D, if the investigation upon which tha clearance is based is equivalent to the investigatior. required for the special nuclear material access authorization.
This avoids having to conduct an investigation on an individual for whom an adequate investigation already exists.
ACCEPTANCE OF HON-NRC APPLICATION FORMS i
Acceptance of an application for access authorizations cn other than NRC
-forms allows the NRC,to use existing information on individuals with current
~
Federal clearances. It also allows an individual applying for renewal of a DOE "Q" personnel clearance to use some of the DOE documents in making applica' tion for the NRC "U" material access authorization. This reduces the ad:ninist ative burden upon applicants.
USE OF DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY REINVEST 1GATION PROGRAM
. s~ ,
Application for renewal of NRCp "U" material access authorizaticn may follow the schedule of the DOE Reinvestigation Program and utilize signed M b da M copies of Part I of the DOE Personnel Security Questionnaire if an individual is subject to both DOE "Q" clearance and NRC "U" access authorization requirements.
/ATtRT ,-U} W hThesechangesintheproceduresin10CFRPart11wereinitiatedin response to a request by a licensee for elimination o'f. needless duplication between the NRC access authorization program fw
, { nuclear materia [d the Department of Energy personnel clearance program. The changes have been discussed in detail with all affected licensees. All agree that the changes arc desirable. The changes do A to cM IV tt not alter the list of jobs identified as requiring material access I
P authorization; therefore, individual applicants for access authorizations are either not affected, or are benefit d by the elimination of duplication. No other persons are affected by the changes. For these reasons good cause exists for omitting notice and public rulemaking as unnecessary. Accordingly, these changes in 10 CFR Part 11 are issued as a final rule effective in 30 days.
