{"abstract":"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations for the protection of Safeguards Information (SGI) to protect SGI from inadvertent release and unauthorized disclosure which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities and materials. The amendments modify the requirements for the protection of SGI with respect to persons, information, and materials subject to the regulations, as well as those that are not. These amendments are within the scope of Commission authority under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). The NRC published a proposed rule on SGI on February 11, 2005, and published a revised proposed rule on October 31, 2006, to allow for public comment on changes to the proposed rule text made for the following reasons: In response to public comments, to reflect amendments to the AEA in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), and to reflect Commission Orders issued to licensees authorized to possess and transfer items containing certain quantities of radioactive material. The NRC is now publishing this final rule, in which the NRC is responding to the comments that have been received and is making appropriate changes to the text of the revised proposed rule.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2008/10/24/E8-24904.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":2,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":30,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":40,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":50,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":52,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":60,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":63,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":70,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":71,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":72,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":73,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":76,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":150,"title":10}],"citation":"73 FR 63546","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective on February 23, 2009.
