Abstract:

The final rule amends the Commission's regulations to codify 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.

Additional Information: The cyber security event notification requirements were originally published for public comment as part of the "Proposed Rule: Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks and Security Event Notifications," in February 2011 (76 FR 6199). In December 2013, the NRC bifurcated the cyber security event notification requirements from the Enhanced Weapons rulemaking to speed up the issuance of these important cyber security requirements. The paper is currently with the Commission for review and approval and should be issued in the second half of 2015.
