Week Ending November 6, 2015 

Cyber Security Event Notifications: Final Rule; Part 73 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) (Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 3150-AJ27; NRC-2014-0036)

On November 2, 2015, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (80 FR 67264) 

adopting new cyber security regulations that govern nuclear power reactor licensees. This final 

rule codifies certain reporting activities associated with cyber security events contained in 

security advisories issued by the NRC. This rule establishes new cyber security event 

notification requirements that contribute to the NRC’s analysis of the reliability and effectiveness 

of licensees’ cyber security programs and plays an important role in the continuing effort to 

provide high assurance that digital computer and communication systems and networks are 

adequately protected against cyber-attacks, up to and including the design basis threat. This 

final rule is effective December 2, 2015. However, compliance with this final rule is required by 

May 2, 2016, for those licensed to operate under 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 and subject to 

10 CFR 73.54. 

Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Services for the Master Data Management 

(MDM) Program and Solution

On November 2, 2015, as a result of a competitive solicitation, time and materials order 

NRC-HQ-10-16-O-0001 was issued under blanket purchase agreement (BPA) NRC-HQ-10-15-

A-0005 to AEGIS Net, Inc. in New Castle, Delaware. The objective of this BPA order is to 

provide IV&V services that include quality assurance monitoring and analysis across all MDM 

activities to ensure that the program fulfills its mission, and the product, design, specifications, 

and system meet the requirements in the MDM Functional Requirements Document. The 

period of performance of this order is November 2, 2015, through October 31, 2016, with two 

1-year options. The total estimated cost is $1,387,000, inclusive of options. 

Variable Annual Fee Structure for Small Modular Reactors (SMR): Proposed Rule; 

10 CFR Parts 170 and 171; RIN 3150-AI54; NRC-2008-0664)

On November 4, 2015, the NRC published a proposed rule in the Federal Register 

(80 FR 68268) proposing to amend its licensing, inspection, and annual fee regulations to 

establish a variable annual fee structure for light-water SMRs. Under the proposed variable 

annual fee structure, an SMR's annual fee would be calculated as a function of its licensed 

thermal power rating. This proposed fee methodology complies with the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended. The NRC will hold a public meeting on November 16, 

2015, to promote full understanding of the proposed rule and to facilitate public comments. 

Public comments on the proposed rule are due by December 4, 2015.
