SUBJECT:
LETTER NOMINATING NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF TO SUBCOMMITTEE 45A OF THE INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
Dear Mr. Seaman:
I would like to nominate Mr. Ismael Garcia as an authorized Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) representative on the International Electrotechnical Commission, Subcommittee (SC) 45A, Working Group A9 (WGA9) which, among other topics, deals with cyber security aspects relevant for instrumentation. Mr. Ismael Garcia is a Senior Technical Advisor for cyber security and digital instrumentation and control topics. He provides technical oversight on activities related to complex and specialized projects involving nuclear cyber security issues and brings the necessary experience and education to support the development and maintenance of standards in Subcommittee 45A. Mr. Ismael Garcia was invited by the IEC SC45 WGA9 Chairman, Mr. Edward (Ted) L. Quinn, to join this working group via formal correspondence dated September 30th, 2020.
In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-119, "Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities," January 27, 2016, the participation on a committee of an NRC- authorized representative does not connote agency agreement with, or endorsement of, decisions reached by the committee, or of standards approved and published as a result of the committees efforts. Agency representatives participating on consensus standards developing groups will, to the extent possible, ascertain the views of the agency on matters of interest and will express views that are consistent with established agency views.
However, the NRCs endorsement of these standards, if desired by the NRC, would be part of a separate activity such as incorporation by reference into rulemaking or endorsement in an NRC regulatory guide.
Correspondence should be addressed to:
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Mr. Ismael Garcia M/S: T7E12 Washington, D.C. 20555 Telephone: 301-415-2495 E-mail: Ismael.Garcia@NRC.gov
S. Seaman Thank you very much for providing the NRC with the opportunity to participate in the work of your committee.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Louise Lund, NRC Standards Executive Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research
