NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Memorandum of Understanding 

Between the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission and the Department of 

Homeland Security Regarding 

Consultation Concerning Potential 

Vulnerabilities of the Location of 

Proposed New Utilization Facilities 

I. Purpose 

This Memorandum of Understanding 

(MOU) establishes a process to 

implement the provisions of Section 657 

of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPA), 

Public Law 109–58, 119 Stat. 594, 814 

(2005). Section 657 states: 

Sec. 657. Department of Homeland Security 

Consultation 

Before issuing a license for a utilization 

facility, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

shall consult with the Department of 

Homeland Security concerning the potential 

vulnerabilities of the location of the proposed 

facility to terrorist attack. 

II. Background 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

Pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 

U.S.C. 2133, the NRC is responsible for 

licensing and regulating the 

construction and operation of 

commercial nuclear power plants 

(known as ‘‘utilization facilities’’) in the 

United States to protect the health and 

safety of the public and to promote the 

common defense and security. In 

conducting its review of applications for 

such facilities pursuant to the 

Commission’s implementing regulations 

in 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52, the NRC 

must, among other matters, determine 

the suitability of the site for the 

proposed facility. 

Among the provisions pertaining to 

the determination of site suitability, 

issues associated with the common 

defense and security are, as a general 

matter, addressed through the 

requirements of 10 CFR 100.21(f). This 

provision requires applicants to 

demonstrate that the site characteristics 

of the proposed location are such ‘‘that 

adequate security plans and measures 

can be developed.’’ In conducting its 

technical review of this portion of the 

application, the NRC addresses 

potential vulnerabilities of the location 

of the proposed facility to terrorist 

attack; this evaluation focuses on 

assessing the impact of the following 

factors: 

(1) Pedestrian and vehicular land 

approaches, (2) railroad approaches, (3) 

waterborne approaches, (4) potential 

‘‘high-ground’’ adversary advantage 

areas, (5) nearby road and/or 

transportation routes, and (6) nearby 

hazardous materials facilities, airports, 

dams, military and chemical facilities, 

and pipelines. 

Commencing in FY07, a substantial 

number of applications for new nuclear 

power plants is expected. 

Department of Homeland Security 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), pursuant to the 

Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002, 

Public Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135; 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive 7 (HSPD–7); and the National 

Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) of 

2006, has the authority and 

responsibility to lead the unified 

national effort to secure America by 

preventing, deterring, and responding to 

terrorist attacks and other threats and 

hazards to the Nation, including 

protecting the Nation’s critical 

infrastructure (CI) and key resources 

(KR), such as the subject ‘‘utilization 

facilities.’’

III. Consultation Roles and 

Responsibilities 

The NRC will ‘‘consult’’ with the DHS 

under Section 657 of the EPA as 

follows: 

Before issuing a license for a utilization 

facility, the NRC will request, and the DHS 

will review and provide to the NRC comment 

on the potential vulnerabilities of the 

location of the proposed facility to terrorist 

attack. This review and comment will be 

based on information, including the 

application, provided by the NRC, and any 

other factors, consistent with DHS 

authorities, the DHS considers vital to 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
9960 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 6, 2007 / Notices 

assessing the potential vulnerabilities of the 

location of the proposed facility to terrorist 

attack. 

Within ten (10) days after acceptance and 

docketing of an application, the NRC will 

provide the DHS with the application and 

any other information it deems relevant. The 

NRC will communicate promptly any 

schedule delay. 

Within 90 days of receipt of the application 

materials, the DHS will respond to the NRC 

in writing. This response will include any 

and all DHS comments concerning the 

potential vulnerabilities of the location of the 

proposed facility to terrorist attack. If within 

60 days of receipt of the application materials 

the DHS anticipates that it cannot complete 

its review within the 90-day time frame, the 

DHS will contact the NRC to discuss a 

mutually agreeable date by which it will 

respond to the NRC’s request for 

consultation. 

The NRC and the DHS recognize that 

certain portions of the information 

exchanged pursuant to this 

Memorandum of Understanding may be 

Safeguards Information in accordance 

with section 147 of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended; classified 

information; or other sensitive 

information that must be properly 

identified and protected from public 

disclosure in accordance with 

applicable requirements.

The NRC Point of Contact for this 

agreement is: Team Leader, New Reactor 

Security Team, Reactor Security Branch, 

NSIR. 

The DHS Point of Contact for this 

agreement is: Lead, Nuclear Sector 

Branch, CNPPD. 

V. Funding 

All activities pursuant to this MOU 

are subject to the availability of 

appropriated funds and each agency’s 

budget priorities. 

VI. Memorandum of Understanding 

This MOU shall not be construed to 

provide a private right of action for or 

by any person or entity.
