Brief from today's (October 15) daily NERC Security Call:
NERC -Will reduce to Alert level 2.5, something between full alert status and heightened alert. - CIPWG continues to work on level definitions. Still a week or two away from completion. NIPC - Reports that threats are of general nature, still considered high risk and of a lasting threat. - Most reports into NIPC are presently bio-threat related. DOE - Will reduce to Level 3 modified at noon today. Note: SECON-3 is used when an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists and may increase access controls to include additional personnel and vehicle barriers. DOE had been in a SECON-2 which is used when a terrorist incident occurs or intelligence information is received indicating that some form of terrorist action is imminent, and requires specific protection measures to be put in place. SC's -There continues to be reports of "suspicious" individuals and/or groups taking pictures of power plants. -As reported on the news last night, National Guard troops are be used at Nuclear facilities in NY State. ECAR/MET Security Coordinator suggests that ECAR members continue to evaluate their security measures and take action that they deem appropriate to protect the system and their investment. ECAR/MET reminds the ECAR members that if Federal Agencies discover that one of your facilities is the target of a credible threat, that they will notify you directly of such threat. You are asked to notify the ECAR/MET Security Coordinator of any and all suspicious activities that occur on or near critical transmission facilities and power plants, as well as the appropriate law enforcement authorities. This information is for dissemination within the industry. Please do not make available to any public posting. Daniel R. Boezio ECAR/MET Security Coordination Manager Transmission Security Phone: 614-413-6630 e-mail: drboezio@aep.com
