31310020P0013 C.8 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII)

In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget's guidance to Federal agencies and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) implementing policy and procedures, a contractor (including subcontractors and contractor employees), who performs work on behalf of the NRC, is responsible for protecting, from unauthorized access or disclosure, personally identifiable information (PII) that may be provided, developed, maintained, collected, used, or disseminated, whether in paper, electronic, or other format, during performance of this contract.

A contractor who has access to NRC owned or controlled PII, whether provided to the contractor by the NRC or developed, maintained, collected, used, or disseminated by the contractor during the course of contract performance, must comply with the following requirements:

(1) General. In addition to implementing the specific requirements set forth in this clause, the contractor must adhere to all other applicable NRC guidance, policy and requirements for the handling and protection of NRC owned or controlled PII. The contractor is responsible for making sure that it has an adequate understanding of such guidance, policy and requirements.

(2) Use, Ownership, and Nondisclosure. A contractor may use NRC owned or controlled PII solely for purposes of this contract, and may not collect or use such PII for any purpose outside the contract without the prior written approval of the NRC Contracting Officer. The contractor must restrict access to such information to only those contractor employees who need the information to perform work under this contract, and must ensure that each such contractor employee (including subcontractors' employees) signs a nondisclosure agreement, in a form suitable to the NRC Contracting Officer, prior to being granted access to the information. The NRC retains sole ownership and rights to its PII. Unless the contract states otherwise, upon completion of the contract, the contractor must turn over all PII in its possession to the NRC, and must certify in writing that it has not retained any NRC owned or controlled PII except as otherwise authorized in writing by the NRC Contracting Officer.

(3) Security Plan. When applicable, and unless waived in writing by the NRC Contracting Officer, the contractor must work with the NRC to develop and implement a security plan setting forth adequate procedures for the protection of NRC owned or controlled PII as well as the procedures which the contractor must follow for notifying the NRC in the event of any security breach. The plan will be incorporated into the contract and must be implemented and followed by the contractor once it has been approved by the NRC Contracting Officer. If the contract does not include a security plan at the time of contract award, a plan must be submitted for the approval of the NRC Contracting Officer within 30 days after contract award.

(4) Breach Notification. The contractor must immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officer and the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) upon discovery of any suspected or confirmed breach in the security of NRC owned or controlled PII.

(5) Legal Demands for Information. If a legal demand is made for NRC owned or controlled PII (such as by subpoena), the contractor must immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officer and the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). After notification, the NRC will determine whether and to what extent to comply with the legal demand. The Contracting Officer will then notify the contractor in writing of the determination and such notice will indicate the extent of disclosure authorized, if any. The contractor may only release the information specifically demanded with the written permission of the NRC Contracting Officer.

Page 8

31310020P0013 (6) Audits. The NRC may audit the contractor's compliance with the requirements of this clause, including through the use of online compliance software.

(7) Flow-down. The prime contractor will flow this clause down to subcontractors that would be covered by any portion of this clause, as if they were the prime contractor.

(8) Remedies:

(a) The contractor is responsible for implementing and maintaining adequate security controls to prevent the loss of control or unauthorized disclosure of NRC owned or controlled PII in its possession. Furthermore, the contractor is responsible for reporting any known or suspected loss of control or unauthorized access to PII to the NRC in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 4 above.

(b) Should the contractor fail to meet its responsibilities under this clause, the NRC reserves the right to take appropriate steps to mitigate the contractor's violation of this clause. This may include, at the sole discretion of the NRC, termination of the subject contract.

(9) Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other remedies available to the NRC, the contractor will indemnify the NRC against all liability (including costs and fees) for any damages arising out of violations of this clause.

NRCAR Clauses Incorporated By Full Text C.9 2052.215-70 KEY PERSONNEL. (JAN 1993)

(a) The following individuals are considered to be essential to the successful performance of the work hereunder:

, Senior Organizational Development Specialist

• The contractor agrees that personnel may not be removed from the contract work or replaced without compliance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.

(b) If one or more of the key personnel, for whatever reason, becomes, or is expected to become, unavailable for work under this contract for a continuous period exceeding 30 work days, or is expected to devote substantially less effort to the work than indicated in the proposal or initially anticipated, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer and shall, subject to the concurrence of the contracting officer, promptly replace the personnel with personnel of at least substantially equal ability and qualifications.

(c) Each request for approval of substitutions must be in writing and contain a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions. The request must also contain a complete resume for the proposed substitute and other information requested or needed by the contracting officer to evaluate the proposed substitution. The contracting officer and the contracting officers representative shall evaluate the contractor's request and the contracting officer shall promptly notify the contractor of his or her decision in writing.

(d) If the contracting officer determines that suitable and timely replacement of key personnel who have been reassigned, terminated, or have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not reasonably forthcoming, or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful completion of the contract or the service order, the contract Page 9

31310020P0013 may be terminated by the contracting officer for default or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate. If the contracting officer finds the contractor at fault for the condition, the contract price or fixed fee may be equitably adjusted downward to compensate the Government for any resultant delay, loss, or damage.

Upon receiving the notification from the contractor, the contracting officer shall issue an appropriate contract modification or advise the contractor in writing that, in the contracting officer's opinion, the technical direction is within the scope of this article and does not constitute a change under the "Changes" clause.

(g) Any unauthorized commitment or direction issued by the COR may result in an unnecessary delay in the contractor's performance and may even result in the contractor expending funds for unallowable costs under the contract.

(h) A failure of the parties to agree upon the nature of the instruction or direction or upon the contract action to be taken with respect thereto is subject to 52.233 Disputes.

31310020P0013 ATTACHMENT 1 S.1 Title of Project Support for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Agency-wide Culture Assessment S.2 Background In a briefing to the Commission on October 29, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Executive Director for Operations (EDO), discussed aspects of NRCs transformation vision of becoming a modern, risk-informed regulator. As one initiative to support the broader transformation effort, the EDO described fostering a culture of change. The EDO referred to culture as shared organizational values, assumptions, beliefs, and behaviors that provide signals about what is accepted and what is expected of our employees. The EDO continued to say that efforts in this area are focused on how we should lead during times of change to enable trust, eliminate fear of change, and encourage thinking big across all of the Agency. It includes holding ourselves accountable for meeting our mission, leading by example, meeting milestones that we set for ourselves for transformation. The EDO established a focused initiative to address the agencys culture, wherein the specific objectives are to identify behaviors, model behaviors, and train staff on behaviors that are in keeping with support for the broader transformation objectives. Key to success of the initiative is developing a framework to objectively assess both the NRCs current culture baseline, and to formulate measurable indicators of progress towards a desired end state. Staff have determined that outside expertise is needed to establish rigorous and analytically sound methodologies for such assessments, utilizing validated and replicable tools.

S.3 Objective The objective of this contract is to procure expert support for the development, administration, and analysis of results of an agency-wide survey or surveys utilizing the Human Synergistics Organizational Culture Inventory (OCI), the OCI-Ideal, and the Organizational Effectiveness Inventory (OEI).

S.16 Incremental Development for Software N/A S.17 Section 508 - Information and Communication Technology Accessibility S.17.1 Introduction In December 2000, the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) pursuant to Section 508(2)(A) of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998, established electronic and information technology (EIT) accessibility standards for the federal government.

The Standards for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (codified at 36 CFR § 1194) were revised by the Access Board, published on January 18, 2017 and minor corrections were made on January 22, 2018, effective March 23, 2018.

The Revised 508 Standards have replaced the term EIT with information and communication technology (ICT). ICT is information technology (as defined in 40 U.S.C. 11101(6)) and other equipment, systems, technologies, or processes, for which the principal function is the creation, manipulation, storage, display, receipt, or transmission of electronic data and information, as well as any associated content. Examples of ICT include, but are not limited to: Computers and peripheral equipment; information kiosks and transaction machines; telecommunications equipment; customer premises equipment; multifunction office machines; software; applications; Web sites; videos; and, electronic documents.

The text of the Revised 508 Standards can be found in 36 CFR § 1194.1 and in Appendices A, C and D of 36 CFR § 1194 (at https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=caeb8ddcea26ba5002c2eea047698e85&mc=true&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title36/36cfr1194_
