          CHAPTER I--NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (Continued)
 
PART 95_FACILITY SECURITY CLEARANCE AND SAFEGUARDING OF NATIONAL 
SECURITY INFORMATION AND RESTRICTED DATA--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 95.19  Changes to security practices and procedures.

    (a) Except as specified in paragraph (b) of this section, each 
licensee, certificate holder, or other person shall obtain prior CSA 
approval for any proposed change to the name, location, security 
procedures and controls, or floor plan of the approved facility. A 
written description of the proposed change must be furnished to the CSA 
and the NRC Regional Administrator of the cognizant Regional Office 
listed in appendix A to part 73 of this chapter, and, if the NRC is not 
the CSA, also to the Director, Division of Nuclear Security, Office of 
Nuclear Security and Incident Response; the communications to NRC 
personnel should be by an appropriate method listed in Sec. 95.9. These 
substantive changes to the Standard Practice Procedures Plan that affect 
the security of the facility must be submitted to the NRC Division of 
Nuclear Security, or CSA, at least 30 days prior to the change so that 
they may be evaluated. The CSA shall promptly respond in writing to all 
such proposals. Some examples of substantive changes requiring prior CSA 
approval include--
    (1) A change in the approved facility's classified mail address; or
    (2) A temporary or permanent change in the location of the approved 
facility (e.g., moving or relocating NRC's classified interest from one 
room or building to another). Approved changes will be reflected in a 
revised Standard Practice Procedures Plan submission within 30 days of 
approval. Page changes rather than a complete rewrite of the plan may be 
submitted.
    (b) A licensee or other person may effect a minor, non-substantive 
change to an approved Standard Practice Procedures Plan for the 
safeguarding of classified information without receiving prior CSA 
approval. These minor changes that do not affect the security of the 
facility may be submitted to the addressees noted in paragraph (a) of 
this section within 30 days of the change. Page changes rather than a 
complete rewrite of the plan may be submitted. Some examples of minor, 
non-substantive changes to the Standard Practice Procedures Plan 
include--
    (1) The designation/appointment of a new facility security officer; 
or
    (2) A revision to a protective personnel patrol routine, provided 
the new routine continues to meet the minimum requirements of this part.
    (c) A licensee, certificate holder, or other person must update its 
NRC facility clearance every five years either by submitting a complete 
Standard Practice Procedures Plan or a certification that the existing 
plan is fully current to the Division of Nuclear Security.
