TO ALL POWER REACTOR LICENSEES /; /7 /;2/77 Gentlemen:

Subject: IMPLEMENTATION OF 10 CFR 73.57, REQUIREMENTS

FOR FBI CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECKS (GENERIC LETTER 87-10)

Generic Letter 87-04 exempted temporary workers from the requirements of 10 CFR

73.57, "Requirements for FBI Criminal History Checks," on an interim basis pending resolution of final screening policy for this category of worker. A recent decision by the NRC to solicit public comment on its policy statement and industry guidelines on access authorization, may postpone this final resolution. The purpose of this generic letter is to authorize use of a temporary access authori- zation program until final screening policy is established.

A licensee may grant an individual temporary access authorization for unescorted facility access or access to Safeguards Information. This temporary access authorization is contingent upon submittal of fingerprints to NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 73.57 and maintenance of all security plan commitments pertaining to employee screening. The criminal history resulting from the FBI check must be considered immediately after receipt in conjunction with other evaluation criteria to determine if unescorted access should be continued or terminated.

This generic letter supersedes any previous generic letter (e.g., 87-04) on this subject. This policy is in effect until further notice by the NRC.

Sincerely, Frank J. Miraglia, Jr.
