RIS 2005

-31 Pa ge 2 of 5 In the post-Septembe

r 11, 2001, environment, NRC, like many other

agencies, has found it

necessary to

be more judici

ous in determi

ning what i

nformation to vol

untarily release, so a

s not to inadve rtently prov

ide assista

nce to those w

ho might use certa

in information for mal

evolent acts. N RC ha s issu ed ord ers an d adv isori es and taken s pecifi c acti ons re gardin g the se curity of its license

d facilities

and has al

so assessed a

nd revise d its poli

cies and pra

ctices for making

information ava

ilable to the publi

c. One of the acti

ons NRC too

k was to susp

end publi c access to documents in

its electron

ic Agency-w

ide Documents

Access and

Management Sy

stem (ADAMS) on October 25, 20

04. Subsequentl

y, NRC sc reened those d

ocuments to determi

ne whe ther they con tain ed s ecur ity-rel ated sen siti ve i nform atio n. B ased on t his scre eni ng, a lar ge number of documents w

ere returned to p

ublic acce

ss in ADA MS. This

screening proces

s continues as

requests for specific d

ocuments are rece

ived and as new documents are cre

ated by NRC and receiv

ed from licensee

s and others.

To facil itate this s creeni ng proce ss, NR C has deve loped screen ing cri teria for cond uctin g its review s. In Nove

mber 2005, NRC

issued guid

ance (NRC R

IS 2005-26) for asse

ssing whethe

r documents associ

ated with reactor lice

nsees shoul

d be made pub

licly availab le. As part

of the continuing efforts in

this area, NR

C has now develop ed the attached

criteria for scree

ning from public di sclosure secu

rity-related

sensitive information asso

ciated wi th various

NRC-regulated

activ ities of perso ns han dlin g source , byp roduct , and s pecia l nuc lear m ateria l. This R IS and its a ttachme nts do not ap ply to cla ssifie d infor mation or Safe guards I nformati on. Class ified informat ion (C onfide ntial , Secre t, Top S ecret) is w ithhe ld from t he pub lic b y la w. Safeguards Information is

withhel d because i

t provides

details of secu

rity measures

at nuclear

facilities.

Handling requi

rements for classified

information and

Safeguards Information are s

et forth in vario

us NRC orde

rs, regulations, a

nd generic communi

cations (e.g., requiremen

ts for the handli

ng and protection

of Safeguards Information are

discussed i

n RIS-2003-08,"Protec tion o f Safeguar

ds Inform ation from Una uthori zed D isclo sure," dated April 30, 20 03). Sensitiv e (but unclas

nformation covers

a range of information for w

hich the loss, misu

reasonably

be foreseen to h

arm the public i nterest, commercial

SUMMARY OF ISSUE

This R IS: 1)Informs licensees

and others of the s

creening criteri

a that NRC u

ses to identi

fy and protect security-related sensi

tive informatio

n in documen

ts generated by

the Agency

and in doc

uments receiv

ed from licensee

s and others;

2)Encourages li

censees and

others to iden

tify security-related sensi

n contained i

n documents sub

mitted to NRC, by using the

screening crite

ria in Attachment 2 and

marking procedures; a

nd

RIS 2005

-31 Pa ge 3 of 5 3)Encoura ges lice nsees an d others that ma y possess securit y-relat ed sensit ive informat ion to contro l the informat ion, t o limi t the ri sk that t he in formatio n might fall i nto the hands of those

who w ould use i

t for malevole

nt acts.Speci ficall y, pro tectio n of the informa tion s hould be imp lement ed in the fol low ing man ner: 1. Screening of Future Document

s Submitted to NRC

To assure that future su

bmittals contai

ning security-related sensi

tive informatio

n are not made public

ly ava ilable i n ADAMS , while still making o

ther appropriate

information

available to the public, NRC is encouraging licensees and others to screen

submittals in

accord ance w ith th e guid ance i n Attac hment 2. If prac

tical , docu ments s ubmitte d to NRC shoul d avoid includin g security-rela

ted sensitiv

e information to p

ermit releasi

ng the docume nt to th e publ ic in its e ntiret y. 2. M arking and Submitti

ng Documents Conta

ining Securi

ty-Related

Sensitiv e Information

If it is necessa

ry to incl

ude security-related sensi

tive informatio

n in a sub

mitted document, the sub

mittal shoul

d be marked to in

dicate the pre

sence of such i

nformation

as foll ows: a)The cover le

tter should cl

early state

that the attached

documents conta

in security-rel

ated sensiti

ve information.

When separated from the attached

docume nts, if the cover

letter it

self do es not co ntain sec urity-r elated se nsitive information, the co

ver letter i

tself is uncontro

lled. b)As shown in Attachment 1 (Section A), the top of every

page of a letter or

document that con

tains securi

ty-related se

nsitive information shoul

d include the marking "Securi ty-Re lated Informati

on - Withhol

d Unde r 10 CF R 2.39 0" (not e that NRC's procedure for t

hese documents is to mark

them as "Off

icial Use Only- Securi ty-Relat ed Inf ormat ion). For

the pag es having securit y-relat ed sensit ive information, an ad

ditional marking (e.g., an editoria

l notebox) should be

included adjacent to the

material meetin

g the screening cri

teria in Atta

chment 2.Information on suggested h

andling and

methods of submittal

of security-rel

ated sensi tive informa tion i s also conta ined in Att achmen t 1 (Se ction B). Licen sees a nd oth ers can submi t both a publ ic an d a no n-publ ic v ersio n of a d ocumen t, when secur

ity-rela ted docu ments need to be s

ubmitt ed. The public vers

ion could ha

ve the security-related sensi

tive informatio

n "marked out" or remov

ed with a notation tha

t the information was withheld on the basis that it is "Security-Related Inf

ormation." This

is simila r to what i

s sometimes done

to protect propri

etary information

under 10 CF

R 2.390, except th

at an af fidavit is not need

ed. Alter

natively, s

ecurit y-relat ed sensit ive information could be seg

regated fr

om the main body of the document

and included only

in attachments to

the submittal.

Only the a

ttachments contain

ing security-related sensitive information would be marked f

or withholding from public disclosure. Using

this approac h, the pu blic versio

n need not

be mark ed as cont

aining s ecurit y-relat ed sensit ive information.

2005 INTRODUCTION:

This guidance p

rovides the

criteria w

hich wi ll be use d to determine

the types of sec

urity-related

sensitive information, other

than classified or safeg

uards informat

ion, associated with materials

licensees, applicants, certificate hold

ers, and other e

ntities that w

ill not b e volunta rily di sclosed to the public so as not to inadvertently provide assistance to those who might wish to use this

informat ion for malev olent acts. BACKGROUND:

Historicall

y, the Nucl

ear Regulatory

Commission (N

RC) has made

routinely availa ble to the

public l arge amounts of information , more than required

by law. In the post-Se

ptember 11, 2001 envi ronment, howe

ver, like many

other agencies, the NRC has

found it necess

ary to be more jud icio us in wha t it v olunt arily relea ses, so as no t to in adve rtentl y pro vide assis tance to those who might us e this informa tion fo r male vole nt acts. The NR C dev elope d guid ance s evera l month s ago for

condu cting a broad securi ty/se nsiti vity review to assess whether documents associated with reactor licensees should be ma

de publicly

avai labl e in t he first insta nce as a matte r of admi nistra tive discr etion (SECY-04-01 91). In November 20

05, the NRC

issued guida

nce (NRC RIS

2005-26) in

this area. A

s part of the

continuing efforts in

this area, the

NRC has no

w deve loped this

guidance w

hich address

es the criteria for screen

ing from public d

isclosure ce

rtain types

of information associ

ated with various classes of materia

ls licens ees, applic

ants, certificate ho

lders and oth

er entities.

Consi stent w ith th e "Task F orce R eport o n Publ ic Di sclos ure of S ecuri ty-Re lated Informati

on,"(SECY 05-009

1) and the Co

mmission guidan

ce on that Task Force

Report, the scre

ening criteria in

these guideli

nes "...should

follow the

principles

for withhol

ding security-related informat ion u nder F OIA." A lthou gh the s ecuri ty-rel ated s ensit ive screen ing cri teria were develope d with th e principl

es of the Freedom o

f Information Act (FOIA) in

mind, a rev

iew for security-related sensitive inform

ation does not substitute f

or a FOIA review. FOIA requests will

continu e to be revie

wed and proc

essed ind ependen tly fro m the sec urity-r elated se nsitive information revi

ew process

. ORGANIZAT ION OF THIS GUIDANCE:

This gui dance is or ganiz ed as follow s (see Table 1 for an outli ne on navi gating th e guid ance): -Section 1 indicates the thresholds under which documents

may be released to the public

without a ny further screeni
