Develop, document, and implement combination management procedures to include the following:
a) Combination management procedures for the combinations used to access the safe for storing backups of NRC-managed servers and the combination-controlled lockboxes used to store keys to the key storage cabinets used to secure the inventory of keys.
b) A means to record the use of and dissemination of all combinations and the date the combinations were last changed.
