NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2002-12D,  REVISION 1
INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATIONS  USING DRY STORAGE  NRC THREAT ADVISORY AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES SYSTEM
ADDRESSEES
All U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) independent spent fuel storage installations using dry storage.
 
INTENT 
The NRC previously issued guidance about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) to certain groups of NRC licensees in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2002-12D, "Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations Using Dry Storage NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measures System," dated
October 16, 2002.  The NRC is issuing this revised RIS to identify a change in the implementation of the HSAS as outlined in Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-3, "Homeland Security Advisory System," dated March 11, 2002, and HSPD-5, "Management of Domestic Incidents," dated February 28, 2003, for the addressees above who received RIS 2002-12D.  The change is required by Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-7, "National
Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS)," dated January 26, 2011 (Enclosure 1 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML11188A030)).  This RIS will supersede RIS 2003-16, "NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measure System," dated October 7, 2003.  This RIS requires no action or written response on the part of any addressee.
BACKGROUND 
On March 11, 2002, then-President George W. Bush signed HSPD-3, creating the HSAS, which was a graduated, color-coded threat advisory system to alert government authorities at all levels, private-sector stakeholders, and the general public about the risk of terrorist attacks. 
HSAS consisted of five levels ranging from the lowest threat level "Green," to the most severe, "Red."  Based on HSPD-3, the NRC issued regulatory issue summaries to inform NRC licensees of the descriptions of the various threat advisory conditions and to provide guidance to NRC licensees about the preplanning of graded protective measures to respond to changes in the threat environment.

  OFFICIAL USE ONLY
- SECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION
On January 26, 2011, President Barack Obama issued PPD-7 which reaffirmed the need for a strong effective national-level advisory system and directed DHS to establish a new threat advisory system to replace the HSAS. 
The NTAS has replaced the previous color-coded threat levels with a two-tiered advisory system designed to provide timely and relevant terrorist threat information to affected
government, private-sector, and public stakeholders, as appropriate and in accordance with classification levels.  The NTAS's two threat levels are "Elevated Alert" and "Imminent Alert."
An "Elevated Alert" warns of a credible terrorist threat against the United States and its territories that is general in both timing and target, or details significant trends and developments in terrorism such that it is reasonable to recommend implementation of protective measures to thwart or mitigate an attack.
 
An "Imminent Alert" warns of a credible, specific, and impending terrorist threat against the United States and its territories that is sufficiently specific and credible to recommend implementation of protective measures to thwart or mitigate an attack.
In the event that DHS issues an NTAS Alert, licensees should consider this RIS as notification by the Commission.  Accordingly, the NRC recommends that licensees respond to the NTAS Alert in a manner consistent with the guidance enclosed with this RIS.  The Commission may provide licensees with supplementary information, as warranted, when DHS issues changes to the national threat level.
 
BACKFIT DISCUSSION
This RIS does not require any action or written response or any modification to plant structures, systems, components, or designs; therefore, the staff did not perform a backfit analysis.
 
FEDERAL REGISTER NOTIFICATION
A notice of opportunity for public comment was not published in the Federal Register because this RIS is informational and pertains to a staff position that does not represent a departure from
current regulatory requirements and practice.
 
CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW ACT
The NRC has determined that the RIS is not a rule as designated by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 801-808) and, therefore, is not subject to the Act.
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT
This RIS references information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).  These information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), approval number 3150-0002.

NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2002-12D, REVISION 1

INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATIONS USING DRY STORAGE NRC THREAT ADVISORY AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES SYSTEM

ADDRESSEES

All U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) independent spent fuel storage installations using dry storage.

INTENT

The NRC previously issued guidance about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) to certain groups of NRC licensees in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2002-12D, "Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations Using Dry Storage NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measures System," dated

October 16, 2002. The NRC is issuing this revised RIS to identify a change in the implementation of the HSAS as outlined in Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-3, "Homeland Security Advisory System," dated March 11, 2002, and HSPD-5, "Management of Domestic Incidents," dated February 28, 2003, for the addressees above who received RIS 2002-12D. The change is required by Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-7, "National

Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS)," dated January 26, 2011 (Enclosure 1 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML11188A030)). This RIS will supersede RIS 2003-16, "NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measure System," dated October 7, 2003. This RIS requires no action or written response on the part of any addressee.

BACKGROUND

On March 11, 2002, then-President George W. Bush signed HSPD-3, creating the HSAS, which was a graduated, color-coded threat advisory system to alert government authorities at all levels, private-sector stakeholders, and the general public about the risk of terrorist attacks.

HSAS consisted of five levels ranging from the lowest threat level "Green," to the most severe, "Red." Based on HSPD-3, the NRC issued regulatory issue summaries to inform NRC licensees of the descriptions of the various threat advisory conditions and to provide guidance to NRC licensees about the preplanning of graded protective measures to respond to changes in the threat environment.

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

- SECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION

On January 26, 2011, President Barack Obama issued PPD-7 which reaffirmed the need for a strong effective national-level advisory system and directed DHS to establish a new threat advisory system to replace the HSAS.

The NTAS has replaced the previous color-coded threat levels with a two-tiered advisory system designed to provide timely and relevant terrorist threat information to affected

government, private-sector, and public stakeholders, as appropriate and in accordance with classification levels. The NTAS's two threat levels are "Elevated Alert" and "Imminent Alert."

An "Elevated Alert" warns of a credible terrorist threat against the United States and its territories that is general in both timing and target, or details significant trends and developments in terrorism such that it is reasonable to recommend implementation of protective measures to thwart or mitigate an attack.

An "Imminent Alert" warns of a credible, specific, and impending terrorist threat against the United States and its territories that is sufficiently specific and credible to recommend implementation of protective measures to thwart or mitigate an attack.

In the event that DHS issues an NTAS Alert, licensees should consider this RIS as notification by the Commission. Accordingly, the NRC recommends that licensees respond to the NTAS Alert in a manner consistent with the guidance enclosed with this RIS. The Commission may provide licensees with supplementary information, as warranted, when DHS issues changes to the national threat level.

BACKFIT DISCUSSION

This RIS does not require any action or written response or any modification to plant structures, systems, components, or designs; therefore, the staff did not perform a backfit analysis.

FEDERAL REGISTER NOTIFICATION

A notice of opportunity for public comment was not published in the Federal Register because this RIS is informational and pertains to a staff position that does not represent a departure from

current regulatory requirements and practice.

CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW ACT

The NRC has determined that the RIS is not a rule as designated by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 801-808) and, therefore, is not subject to the Act.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT

This RIS references information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), approval number 3150-0002.
