UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 16, 2019 Gregory C. Wilshusen, Director Information Systems Issues U.S. Government Accountability Office 441 G Street, NW Washington, DC 20226
Dear Mr. Wilshusen:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your email dated December 18, 2018, which provided the NRC an opportunity to review and comment on the recommendations contained in the draft U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report Cybersecurity Workforce: Agencies Need to Accurately Categorize Positions to Effectively Identify Critical Staffing Needs (GAO-19-144).
The NRC has reviewed the draft report and agrees with it and its findings. The draft report contains one recommendation for the NRC that is already complete as described below.
Recommendation 25: The Chairman of the NRC should take steps to review the assignment of the "000" code to any positions in the 2210 IT management occupation series and assign the appropriate National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) framework work role codes.
Response: As noted by GAO, (Table 3, Note b), in November 2018, the NRC provided a report demonstrating that it had assigned work role codes to 17 of the reported 19 IT management positions that had been previously assigned the 000 code. The NRC has reviewed the two remaining positions that were previously assigned 000 and has assigned appropriate NICE framework work role codes to these positions. The revised codes have been entered in the Federal Payroll and Personnel System for the record.
The recommendation has been fully addressed.
The NRC appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on the draft GAO report. Should you have any questions, please contact Sara Mroz by phone at (301) 415-2900 or by e-mail at Sara.Mroz@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Margaret M. Doane Executive Director for Operations
