Dear FOIA Requester:

The FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, which was enacted on June 30, 2016, made several changes to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Federal agencies must revise their FOIA regulations to reflect those changes by December 27, 2016. In addition to revising our regulations, we intend to update the Form 464, which we use to respond to FOIA requests.

In the interim, please see the comment box in Part I.C of the attached Form 464. The comment box includes information related to the recent changes to FOIA that is applicable to your FOIA request, including an updated time period for filing an administrative appeal with the NRG.

Sincerely yours, S~ B~ ISi Stephanie Blaney FOIA Officer

Division of R,a ies and Security Office of Ac:frflinistration REPORT OF SECURITY INCIDENT (INFORMATION SPILL)

On September 20, 2012, the Division of Facilities and Security (DFS) notified the Computer Security Office, Policy Standards and Training of the subject infraction (see attached NRC Form 183 "Report of Security lncidentllnfractionMolation,*trom Benjamin Beasley and emails detailing this incident) which occurred September 18, 2012. DFS staff concluded that since this incident does not involve protection of classified information, a security infraction did not occur. Instead, this report will be identified as a security incident for failure to follow applicable Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNS!) guidelines.

To prevent recurrence of additional incidents involving the inadvertent release of SUNSI documents, the person or individuals responsible for the security incident must review the SUNS! guidance located on the NRC internal web at ::JJ.;, /1www,:-:t,'., :3 r-~;__;;;::.::.'r£~~-- Once the SUNSI training has been completed, send a confirmation email to the Facilities Security Branch indicating that the person(s) responsible for the incident has completed thelr review and understands the information.
