| Additional Information | Agency Response Update the Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual to Dated April 24, 2024: specifically reference Title 10 C.F.R. Part 37 requirements; include in these updated documents any necessary references to the newly updated informal guidance; and disseminate the updated documents for staff consideration when determining the severity level of Part 37 violations. OE will coordinate with the cognizant Offices (NMSS, Regions, Office of the General Counsel) to develop an update to Section 6.12, “Materials Security,” of the Enforcement Policy to incorporate severity level examples specific to 10 CFR Part 37 violations for Commission approval. This recommendation will remain open until OE updates and provides to the OEDO for approval the draft Section 6.12, “Materials Security,” of the Enforcement Policy. Since Enforcement Policy revisions involve considerable internal deliberation as well as external stakeholder input (e.g., public comment period, Commission paper, and Federal Register Notice), the target completion date takes into account all necessary steps in this process.
Target Completion Date: FY 2025, Q4
OIG Analysis: The OIG has reviewed the proposed actions, and they meet the intent of the recommendation. This recommendation will be closed upon review of the agency’s proposed updates to the Enforcement Policy and Manual, to include OE’s updates to Section 6.12 in the Policy. This recommendation is open and resolved.
