Title: Protection of Safeguards Information 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission’s regulations for the protection of Safeguards Information (SGI) to reflect recent Commission practices reflected in Orders and Threat Advisories, and Confirmatory Action Letters issued since September 11, 2001. The amendments also provide the flexibility afforded the Commission for the protection of such information by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). The proposed amendments would affect certain licensees, information, and materials not currently specified in the regulations but that are within the scope of the AEA. The proposed amendments are intended to protect SGI from inadvertent release and unauthorized disclosure which might compromise the security of nuclear facilities and materials. The Commission directed that this rule be republished as a proposed rule to allow comments on proposed changes to rule text in response to public and Commission comment, as well as to reflect amendments to the AEA in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and orders issued to licensees authorized to possess and transfer items containing certain quantities of radioactive material.
