o the information-sharing mechanism required by this section, the expectation is that corrected or new information will be actively communicated by the recipient, in addition to being entered into the information-sharing mechanism. Technical Rationale The technical rational for the application of these acceptance criteria to the areas under review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart C, states that a licensee or other entity desiring to grant AA shall ensure that the requirements of Subpart C are met for either initial authorization, authorization update, authorization reinstatement, or authorization with potentially disqualifying FFD information. 2. 10 CFR 73.55 (b)(7) states the licensee shall establish, maintain, and implement an program in accordance with 10 CFR 73.56 and shall describe the program in the PSP. 3. 10 CFR 73.55 (b)(9) establishes the requirement for an insider mitigation program. 4. 10 CFR 73.56 establishes that the requirements for an AA program must provide high assurance that the individuals subject to this section are trustworthy and reliable, such that they do not constitute an unreasonable risk to public health and safety or the common defense and security, including the potential to commit radiological sabotage and the latest NRC endorsed version of the industry’s guidance document, NEI 03-01, “Nuclear Power Plant Program.” 5. The technical basis for 10 CFR 73.56 is summarized in “Personnel access authorization requirements for nuclear power plants,” Final Rule,[56 FR19007, Apr.25, 1991 at 56 FR 24239, May 29, 1991; 72 FR 49561, Aug. 28, 2007; 74 FR 13979, Mar.27, 2009]. 6. 10 CFR 73.57 establishes the requirements for performing criminal history checks of individuals granted unescorted access to a nuclear power facility or Safeguards Information (SGI).
