We received the rule on May 7, 2018. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on April 26, 2018, with an effective date of July 25, 2018. 83 Fed. Reg. 18,195. The final rule amends DOE's regulation concerning the Human Reliability Program (HRP). According to DOE, this regulation provides the policies and procedures to ensure that individuals who occupy positions affording unescorted access to certain nuclear materials, nuclear explosive devices, facilities, and programs meet the highest standards of reliability and physical and mental suitability. The revisions include some clarification of the procedures and burden of proof applicable in certification review hearings, the addition and modification of certain definitions, and a clear statement that a security concern can be reviewed pursuant to the HRP regulation in addition to the DOE regulations for determining eligibility for access to classified matter or special nuclear material. DOE also states that these revisions are intended to provide better guidance to HRP-certified individuals and to ensure consistency in HRP decision making.
