§ 536.402 Appeal of termination of benefits because of reasonable offer. ( a ) Except as provided for in paragraph (e) of this section, an employee whose grade or pay retention benefits are terminated on the grounds the employee declined a reasonable offer of a position the grade or pay of which is equal to or greater than his or her retained grade or pay may appeal the termination to the Office of Personnel Management.
( b ) An employee who appeals under this section shall file the appeal in writing with the Office of Personnel Management not later than 20 calendar days after being notified that his or her grade of pay retention benefits have been terminated, and shall state in the appeal the reasons why the employee believes the offer of a position was not a reasonable offer.
( c ) The Office of Personnel Management may conduct any investigation or hearing it determines necessary to ascertain the facts of the case.
( d ) If a decision by the Office of Personnel Management on an appeal under this section requires corrective action by an agency, including the retroactive or prospective restoration of grade or pay retention benefits, the agency shall take that corrective action.
( e ) Termination of benefits based on a declination of a reasonable offer by an employee in an exclusively recognized bargaining unit may be reviewed under the negotiated grievance and arbitration procedures in accordance with chapter 71 of title 5, United States Code, and the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement. An employee in an exclusively recognized bargaining unit may not appeal a termination of benefits to the Office of Personnel Management if the grievance procedure of the agreement by which he or she is covered provides for this review.
( f ) Decisions issued by the Office of Personnel Management shall be considered final decisions. OPM may, at its discretion, reconsider an original appellate decision when new and material information is presented, in writing, by the employee or the agency, which establishes a reasonable doubt as to the appropriateness of the original decision. The request must show that the information was not readily available when the decision was issued. A request for reconsideration of an original appeal decision must be submitted to OPM within 30 calendar days of the date of the original decision.

No. 06-071 May 25, 2006

 NRC APPROVES FINAL RULE TO RELIEVE CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS FROM ENERGY

ACT REQUIREMENTS ON FINGERPRINTING, CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECKS

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission today approved a final rule, immediately effective, to

relieve certain individuals who have been approved by the Commission for access to Safeguards

Information (SGI) from the fingerprinting and criminal history checks required by the Energy Policy

Act of 2005. The regulatory relief, authorized by the Atomic Energy Act, is necessary for the NRC to

continue to share SGI with certain categories of international and domestic government representatives.

The Commission plans to revise and republish a proposed SGI rule that may more fully address

fingerprinting and criminal history checks; however, the revision has taken longer than expected and

immediate relief from these checks for certain individuals is necessary. 

SGI is a form of sensitive, unclassified information related to the security of nuclear facilities

and materials. The NRC has the authority to designate and protect SGI.

Individuals covered by this final rule include federal, state and local officials involved in

security planning and incident response, certain Agreement State employees, and members of Congress

who request access to SGI as part of their oversight function. Interrupting access to this information,

pending the Commission’s completion of the overall revision of the SGI rule, would impair the NRC’s

day-to-day implementation of its regulatory programs and hamper communications should an imminent

security threat or other emergency occur. The final rule will also allow the Commission to continue

sharing SGI with its international partners. 

The final rule will be published shortly in the Federal Register titled, “Relief from

Fingerprinting and Criminal History Records Checks Required by the Atomic Energy Act, Section

149.”

2 12-50013

violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and

we affirm.

Sanchez Valle contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable

because of his strong ties to the United States and cultural assimilation, his last

felony conviction occurred more than ten years prior to the instant offense, and “all

of the purposes of sentencing set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).” We conclude that

Sanchez Valle’s below-Guidelines sentence is substantively reasonable in light of

the totality of the circumstances and the section 3553(a) sentencing factors. See

Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).

AFFIRMED.

Section is derived from the third proviso of Act June 26, 1936, ch. 839, 49 Stat. 1974, which was classified to section 181a of Title 10 prior to the general revision and enactment of Title 10, Armed Forces, by act Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, §1, 70A Stat. 1.

No. 07-055 May 1, 2007

NRC ISSUES SECURITY ORDER TO RESEARCH AND TEST REACTORS

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in accordance with the provisions of the Energy Policy

Act of 2005, has issued an immediately effective Order imposing additional fingerprinting and criminal

history check requirements on the nation’s research and test reactors.

Research and test reactors must now ensure people currently allowed unescorted access to the

facilities, or people requesting such access, are fingerprinted and undergo a criminal history check by

the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The NRC already requires these facilities to perform these checks

on employees with access to sensitive security information.

“This is one of many steps the NRC has taken in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, to keep U.S.

research reactors secure,” said NRC Chairman Dale E. Klein. “Based on the staff’s work and my earlier

experience overseeing the research reactor program at the University of Texas at Austin, I believe the

level of security is appropriate for these educational facilities to continue safely serving their students,

their communities and the country.”

“Unescorted access” means a person could control the radioactive material to be protected at

the research reactor without being detected by several kinds of security systems or personnel. The

Order requires that the results of the criminal history check can be reviewed only by an NRC-approved

individual at the facility. If an employee has a recently completed criminal history check, an additional

check would not be required.

Facilities covered by the Order have 20 days to establish a fingerprinting program. These

facilities must notify the NRC at the end of those 20 days whether they will be able to comply with the

Order, or explain why specific provisions of the Order are unnecessary at a facility. The NRC is also

planning to propose revising its regulations to impose the Order’s requirements on a permanent basis.

The Order will be available on the NRC’s Web site at:

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/enforcement/security/ .
