weapons (e.g., a handgun and a rifle or shotgun). This requirement does not apply to LLEA personnel performing escort duties. The licensee should ensure that the driver and armed escorts assigned to the vehicle surveillance are provided with the following: • the means to immobilize the transport vehicle • the means to communicate with the movement control center and LLEA • the route overview information containing specific, direct LLEA contacts, other than dialing 911 If the LLEA is not directly involved in the escort, the LLEA should be advised of the presence of the shipment within its jurisdiction and the location, purpose and projected duration of the stop. The LLEA should be requested to be alert for possible assistance calls during the stop. Whether occupied or not, the doors and windows of the transport vehicle should be closed and locked to impede unauthorized access. Before making the stop, the escorts should ensure that communications equipment is properly operating and that LLEA contact information is readily available. All of the armed escorts should participate in the surveillance, as well as any drivers or accompanying individuals not engaged in essential activities associated with the purpose of the stop. 2.2.2.2. Stops during Rail Shipments Procedures for maintaining visual surveillance of a rail shipment reflect the same concerns that form the basis of surveillance procedures for road shipments. During all stops, the licensee should ensure that the rail car is placed under surveillance by two armed escorts positioned on the train within view of the shipment car. If the armed escorts cannot or do not remain on the train, they should relocate to a protected position with an unobstructed view of the shipment car and possible approaches to it. The escorts should have immediate access to communications equipment and the route overview information containing LLEA contacts and should be alert to external activities that may indicate a possible threat to the safety or security of the shipment. When practical, multiple armed escorts should be separated to prevent being simultaneously incapacitated by a single adversary act. Additionally, 10 CFR 73.37(d)(2) requires, as permitted by law, that each armed escort be equipped with a minimum of two weapons (e.g., a handgun and a rifle or shotgun). This requirement does not apply to LLEA personnel performing escort duties. 2.2.2.3. Stops during Waterborne Shipments When incoming and outgoing waterborne shipments of SNF are temporarily located on a dock or aboard a docked vessel, 10 CFR 73.37(e) requires the licensee to ensure surveillance by either of the following methods:
