NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2014-03

NOTICE OF 10 CFR PART 37 IMPLEMENTATION 

DEADLINE FOR NRC LICENSEES

ADDRESSEES

All holders of and applicants for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses that 

possess Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material, NRC Master Material 

Licensees (MMLs), Agreement State Radiation Control Program Directors, and State Liaison 

Officers. 

INTENT

The NRC is issuing this regulatory issue summary (RIS) to remind licensees required to 

implement the new Part 37 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), “Physical 

Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material” that the compliance 

date of this rule is March 19, 2014, and to identify sources of reference information available to 

assist in compliance. 

No specific action or written response is required. The NRC is providing this RIS to Agreement 

States for their information and for distribution to their licensees, as appropriate. 

 

BACKGROUND

In a final rule published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2013, the NRC added a new 

Part 37 to its regulations in 10 CFR, and made conforming changes to other parts of NRC 

regulations regarding radioactive materials. 

The new regulation, which became effective on May 20, 2013, establishes physical security 

requirements for the possession and use of Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive 

material. The NRC considers Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material to be 

risk significant. Table 1 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 37 provides the thresholds for Category 1 

and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material. These requirements are in addition to existing 

physical security requirements for special nuclear material in 10 CFR Part 73, “Physical 

Protection of Plants and Materials”, and also apply to shipments of small amounts of irradiated 

reactor fuel.
 RIS 2014-03 

 Page 2 of 5 

The new 10 CFR Part 37 and changes to other parts of 10 CFR contained in the final rule 

incorporate NRC’s lessons learned in implementing the post-September 11, 2001 security 

measures, as well as stakeholder input during the rulemaking process. As a result, the NRC’s 

regulations are generally applicable and enhance the consistency of implementation as well as, 

the transparency and predictability of NRC’s oversight of radioactive material security.

The NRC staff’s 10 CFR Part 37 Implementation Plan was submitted to the Commission on 

December 8, 2011, in Enclosure 2 of SECY-11-0170 “Final Rule: Physical Protection of 

Byproduct Material (RIN 3150-AI12).” That document can be found at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/commission/secys/2011/2011-0170scy.pdf. 

Attachment 1 to the 10 CFR Part 37 Implementation Plan is a 10 CFR Part 37 Rule/Order 

comparison table (http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1132/ML113290229.pdf) which provides a 

comprehensive comparison of the requirements of the various security orders to the 

requirements of10 CFR Part 37.

SUMMARY OF ISSUE 

Title 10 CFR Part 37, “Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of 

Radioactive Material,” imposes physical security requirements that supersede those imposed by 

license conditions or security orders (e.g., Compensatory Measures (CMs), Additional Security 

Measures (ASMs), “Order Imposing Increased Controls,” and the “Order Imposing 

Fingerprinting and Criminal History Records Check Requirements for Unescorted Access to 

Certain Radioactive Materials”). Licensees received either formal written orders or license 

conditions requiring increased controls for Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive 

materials. These increased controls were temporary measures instituted to ensure the security 

of Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive materials. 10 CFR Part 37 provides 

permanent measures to ensure the security of this material. Therefore, for NRC licensees, the 

increased controls license conditions and security orders will be superseded by 10 CFR Part 37 

on March 19, 2014, when NRC licensees must be in compliance with the rule. 

Licensees with an NRC-approved 10 CFR Part 73 security plan can choose to protect Category 

1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material using their 10 CFR Part 73 plan or in a 

separate 10 CFR Part 37 plan. If a licensee chooses to protect the material using a 10 CFR 

Part 73 plan, then the licensee must revise the plan and procedures to include protection of 

Category 1 and Category 2 radioactive materials. For additional information on this issue as it 

applies to power reactors, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSIs), or Category 1 

special nuclear material facilities, see the “Part 37 Implementation Questions and Answers” 

(http://www.nrc.gov/security/byproduct/nei-pt-37.pdf) that were created to address these 

applications. 

Any inspections of NRC licensees conducted on or after March 19, 2014, will be subject to 

inspection and enforcement under 10 CFR Part 37. By the compliance date, the NRC will begin 

rescinding the orders by formal correspondence to NRC licensees that were issued security 

orders. For those licensees that were issued increased controls via license condition, NRC will 

remove those license conditions from the affected NRC licenses through the license renewal 

process or as part of a future license amendment process, whichever occurs first. As licensing 

resources permit, NRC will administratively amend licenses that are not subject for renewal or 

that have not requested an amendment.
 RIS 2014-03 

 Page 3 of 5 

For Agreement State licensees that received an NRC security order issued under NRC’s 

common defense and security authority, the order will remain in place until the effective date of 

compatible requirements issued by the Agreement State. All Agreement States are obligated to 

have 10 CFR Part 37 equivalent requirements issued by March 19, 2016. Each Agreement 

State will follow its own process for issuing these requirements, which will be reviewed by NRC 

for compatibility. Once the State has issued its requirements and they become effective, the 

NRC will concurrently rescind the NRC-issued orders through formal written correspondence. 

Agreement States will be responsible for rescinding Agreement State-issued orders, removing 

license conditions, or taking any other necessary action with respect to the Increased Controls 

and Fingerprinting security requirements they issued to their licensees on the effective dates of 

their compatible requirements. Once an Agreement State’s compatible requirements are 

effective and security orders have been rescinded, Agreement State licensees should follow 

their respective State requirements. Additionally, beginning on March 19, 2014, Agreement 

State licensees that operate under reciprocity in areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction must 

comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 37 for those activities in NRC jurisdiction and are 

subject to NRC inspection and enforcement under these requirements. 

Enclosed with this RIS is a staff prepared summary of examples of the new requirements and 

some existing requirements that have been modified. The information in the enclosure only 

represents some examples of the new security requirements in 10 CFR Part 37, and does not 

include all of the requirements. It is recommended that licensees carefully review the new 

security requirements listed in 10 CFR Part 37 and the implementation guidance outlined in 

NUREG-2155, “Implementation Guidance for 10 CFR Part 37, ’Physical Protection of Category 

1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material,’” when developing their security programs. 

The staff is also developing an enforcement guidance memorandum (EGM) to provide 

guidance to the NRC staff on how to disposition violations associated with 10 CFR Part 37 with 

respect to large components or Category 1 and 2 quantities of radioactive material stored in 

robust structures at power reactor facilities licensed under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52. This EGM 

authorizes the NRC staff to exercise enforcement discretion and not cite violations associated 

with protection of this material if certain conditions, described in the EGM, are met. The EGM 

will be available on the NRC’s public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/enfman/app-a.html upon its issuance. 

The new rule is available on NRC’s public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/part037/. Also, NRC has created a website for 10 CFR Part 37 that can be 

found at http://www.nrc.gov/security/byproduct/10-cfr-part-37.html. This site contains helpful 

information, such as hyperlinks to the final rule language as published in the Federal Register

(http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-03-19/pdf/2013-05895.pdf), types of licensees that 

may be subject to 10 CFR Part 37 requirements, the implementation guidance for the rule 

(http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr2155/), as well as some 

frequently asked questions that have been developed during the implementation process. This 

website is updated as needed, and it is recommended that licensees review this information 

periodically.
 RIS 2014-03 

 Page 4 of 5 

In addition to NUREG-2155, NRC staff is coordinating with representatives of State and 

Federal partners to develop a best practices document to provide NRC licensees or applicants 

guidance with specific emphasis on physical security best practices (e.g., access authorization, 

intrusion detection, alarms, cameras). The best practices document will provide practical 

guidance to be considered by licensees in developing and implementing an effective physical 

protection program. Currently, NRC staff is preparing the best practices document for 

publication and expects that it will be available by April 2014, as a NUREG entitled, “Physical 

Security Best Practices for the Protection of Risk-Significant Radioactive Material.” 

NRC has also established a dedicated email resource (Part37.Resource@nrc.gov) for 

stakeholders to ask questions and provide comments directly to the NRC staff members 

involved. Please use this resource to ask any questions regarding the new regulations and 

implementation of the new regulations. Questions regarding licensing, inspection, and/or 

compliance with the new regulations should be directed to the appropriate NRC office with 

responsibility for these programs. 

BACKFIT DISCUSSION

This RIS reminds licensees that possess aggregated quantities of category 1 and 2 byproduct 

material that they are required to comply with 10 CFR Part 37 by March 19, 2014 (see 78 FR 

16922: March 19, 2013, under the “Dates” caption); and to identify sources of reference 

information available to assist in compliance. This RIS requires no written action or written 

response. This RIS does not impose on the addressees in their status as applicants, licensees 

or holders of NRC regulatory approvals under 10 CFR Parts 50, 52, 70, 72, or 76 either 

backfitting (as defined in those parts) or actions which are inconsistent with the issue finality 

requirements in 10 CFR Part 52. This RIS reiterates information and requirements contained in 

the final rulemaking for Part 37 (78 FR 16922). Consequently, the NRC staff did not address 

the documentation requirements of the backfitting provisions or the issue finality provisions of 

those parts. 

FEDERAL REGISTER NOTIFICATION

A notice of opportunity for public comment on this RIS was not published in the Federal Register

because this RIS is informational and does not represent a departure from current regulatory 

requirements. 

CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW ACT

Examples of Requirements 

In 10 CFR Part 37 

The information listed below is a representative list of examples to highlight some of the 10 CFR 

Part 37 security requirements, and does not include all of the requirements. Some of the 

examples in this list may already be familiar to recipients of previously issued security orders. 

The examples shown are only intended to highlight some of the areas where Part 37 is different 

from previously issued security orders. Licensees should carefully review the new security 

requirements listed in 10 CFR Part 37 and the implementation guidance in NUREG-2155, when 

developing their security programs. 

10 CFR Part 37: Physical Protection of Byproduct Material, 

 http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part037/

 AND 

NUREG-2155: Implementation Guidance for 10 CFR Part 37, “Physical Protection of 

Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material” 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr2155/

Examples of Part 37 Requirements: 

Subpart A - General Provisions

- Security Zone definition: Category 1 or category 2 material is used and stored in a 

permanent or temporary “security zone,” which isolates material by the use of 

continuous physical barriers that allow access through only established access control 

points and/or through direct control of the security zone (§37.5 and §37.47). 

Subpart B - Background Investigations and Access Authorization Programs

- Licensees must develop and maintain written procedures for implementing an access 

authorization program (§37.23(f)). 

- Licensees must obtain informed and signed consent before initiating a background 

investigation (§37.23(c)). (Sample Consent Form can be obtained from NUREG 2155, 

Annex B, Page 111) 

- Background investigation must verify an individual’s true identity using official 

documentation and compare that information to personal information that was provided 

(§37.25(a)(2)). 

- Licensees must document the type, expiration, and identification number of the 

identification document, or maintain a photocopy (§37.25(a)(2)). 

- Licensees must certify in writing that identification documentation was properly reviewed 

and maintain records for review during inspection (§37.25(a)(2)). 

- The verification of employment history, including military service, must include the most 

recent 7 years, or since 18th birthday, whichever is shorter (§37.25(a)(3)). 

- Individuals who are currently determined to be trustworthy and reliable (T&R) for 

unescorted access, are grandfathered, but are subject to the reinvestigation requirement 

(§37.25(b)). 
RIS 2014-03 

Enclosure 1 

Page 2 of 3 

- Licensees must conduct a reinvestigation every 10 years for any individual with 

unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material. The 

reinvestigation shall consist of fingerprinting and an FBI identification and criminal history 

records check in accordance with §37.27. The reinvestigations must be completed 

within 10 years of the date on which these elements were last completed (§37.25(c)).

- Licensees must maintain a list of persons currently approved for unescorted access 

authorization (§37.23(e)(5)). 

- Example of records required to grant unescorted access authorization (§ 37.23; 37.25): 

 Verification of applicant’s true identify 

 Signed background investigation consent form 

 Background investigations verifications including employment history (7 years), 

education (claimed period), character and reputation determination including 

developed references 

 Fingerprint and criminal history record check 

 Documented basis 

 Security training 

- Licensees must maintain a list of individuals approved for access to the security plan or 

implementing procedures (§37.43(d)(6)). The background review for access to this 

sensitive information includes all of the background screening elements with the 

exception of the fingerprint and criminal history records check (§37.43(d)(3)). 

- Licensees need not subject service provider employees to background screening 

elements prior to granting unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of 

radioactive material, for any individual which the service provider licensee has 

conducted the background investigation and approved the individual for unescorted 

access. Written verification from the service provider must be provided to the licensee 

(§37.29(a)(13)). 

- Licensees need not subject security service provider employees to background 

screening elements required for access to sensitive information, provided the security 

provider provides written verification that the employee has been determined to be 

trustworthy and reliable, using the background investigation criteria in §37.25(a)(2) 

through (a)(7), (§37.43(d)(4)). 

Subpart C - Physical Protection Requirements During Use

- Licensees shall develop and maintain a written security plan specific to its facilities and 

operations. The purpose of the security plan is to establish the licensee's overall 

security strategy to ensure the integrated and effective functioning of the security 

program required by this subpart. The security plan must, at a minimum: 

 (i) Describe the measures and strategies used to implement the requirements of this 

subpart; and 

(ii) Identify the security resources, equipment, and technology used to satisfy the 

requirements of this subpart (§37.43(a)). 

- Licensees shall develop and maintain written procedures that document how the 

requirements of 10 CFR 37, Subpart C (Physical Protection Requirements During Use) 

and the security plan will be met (§37.43(b)). 
 RIS 2014-03 

Enclosure 1 

Page 3 of 3 

- Licensees must provide Local Law Enforcement Agency (LLEA) with: 1) A description of 

facility and security measures employed; 2) A description of category 1 or category 2 

quantities of material possessed; and 3) Notification that the licensee will request a 

timely armed response in the event of an actual or attempted theft, sabotage, or 

diversion (§37.45). 

- Licensees must coordinate with LLEA every 12 months, and maintain documentation of 

the efforts to coordinate for 3 years (§37.45(c) and (d)). 

- Licensees must be able to detect breaches through barrier walls ((§37.41(b)). (Further 

explained in NUREG-2155, Page 120, A-4) 

- Licensees must be able to, among other things, detect unauthorized removal of category 

1 materials immediately, and for category 2 materials through weekly verifications (e.g., 

physical checks, tamper indicating devices, etc.) (§37.49(a)(3)). 

- Licensees must conduct, at least annually, a review of the access authorization and 

security programs (§37.33(a) and §37.55(a), respectively). 

- Licensees must implement a testing and maintenance program for intrusion alarms and 

tests at the manufacturer’s recommended frequency, or at least annually, not to exceed 

12 months (§37.51). 

- Licensees shall conduct training to ensure that those individuals implementing the 

security program possess and maintain the knowledge, skills, and abilities to carry out 

their assigned duties and responsibilities effectively (§37.43(c)(1)). 

- Licensees shall maintain files and procedures for the protection of sensitive information 

including: their security plan, implementing procedures, and the list of individuals that 

have been approved for unescorted access (§37.43(d)). 

Subpart D - Physical Protection in Transit

- Prior to transfer of a category 1 or category 2 source, licensees must verify that the 

recipient is authorized to receive the material using the License Verification System 

(LVS) or the license issuing authority (§37.71(b)). 

 The LVS can be accessed at: http://www.nrc.gov/security/byproduct/ismp/lvs.html

- Licensees must coordinate shipment arrival and receiving times. Category 2 shipments 

must establish a “no later than” arrival time (date and time that the investigation will be 

initiated if package not received, and no later than 6 hours after the estimated arrival 

time for shipments of category 2 quantities of radioactive material) (§37.5, 37.75). 

- Licensees shall preplan, coordinate, and provide advance notice for shipments 

containing a category 1 quantity of radioactive material with the receiving licensee and 

the governor or the governor’s designated representative (§§ 37.75 and 37.77). 

 The contact information, including telephone and mailing addresses, of governors 

and governors’ designees, is available on the NRC’s Web site at http://nrcstp.ornl.gov/special/designee.pdf. A list of the contact information is also available 

upon request from the Director, Division of Intergovernmental Liaison and 

Rulemaking, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management 

Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001. 

- Licensees shall provide advance notice to the governor or governor’s designee for 

shipments containing a category 2 quantity of radioactive material that also meets the 

criteria in § 71.97(b), (§ 37.73(b)).
