SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
1. PURPOSE. To establish program planning and management requirements for the
Department’s Safeguards and Security (S&S) Program.
2. OBJECTIVES.
a. Effect the policy in DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security
Management (ISSM) Policy, by integrating program planning and management
into Department of Energy (DOE) operations as determined by line management,
and according to sound risk management practices. (DOE P 470.1, Integrated
Safeguards and Security Management [ISSM] Policy, is the Department’s
philosophical approach to the management of the S&S Program. A principal
objective of the ISSM Program is to integrate S&S into management and work
practices at all levels, based on program line management’s risk management-
based decisions, so that missions may be accomplished without security events,
such as interruption, disruption or compromise. This approach includes
individual responsibility and implementation of the security requirements found
in this Manual.)
b. Establish individual responsibilities to fulfill the requirements in this Manual.
c. Establish requirements for S&S planning and evaluations.
d. Establish requirements for S&S management.
e. Promulgate the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program.
3. PROGRAM INTEGRATION. S&S program planning and management must be
integrated with other programs such as physical protection, protective force (PF),
information security, personnel security, and nuclear material control & accountability
(MC&A). Mechanisms must also exist to assure that S&S program planning is fully
integrated with overall site strategic and near-term operational planning. Additionally,
the activities and requirements in the weapons surety, foreign visits and assignments,
safety, emergency management, cyber security, and intelligence and counterintelligence
programs should also be considered in the implementation of this Manual.
4. CANCELLATIONS. The directives listed below are canceled. Cancellation of a
directive does not by itself modify or otherwise affect any contractual obligation to
comply with the directive. Canceled directives that are incorporated by reference in a
contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete the reference to the
requirements in the canceled directives. The publication of this Manual incorporates or
cancels all previous memoranda or letters that were issued by the Office of Security or its
predecessor organizations that established policy.

a. DOE N 473.9, Security Conditions, dated 7-8-04.
b. DOE M 470.1-1, Safeguards and Security Awareness Program, dated 10-02-02.
5. APPLICABILITY.
a. Departmental Elements. Except for the exclusion in paragraph 5.c., this Manual
applies to all Departmental elements, listed on Attachment 1. This Manual
automatically applies to Departmental elements created after it is issued.
The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will
assure that NNSA employees and contractors comply with their respective
responsibilities under this Manual.
Section 2
b. Contractors.
(1) The Contractor Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 2, sets forth
requirements of this Manual that will apply to site/facility management
contracts that include the CRD.
(2) The CRD must be included in the site/facility management contracts that
involve classified information or matter, or nuclear materials and contain
DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clause 952.204-2, titled Security
Requirements.
(a) Departmental elements must notify contracting officers of affected
site/facility management contracts to incorporate this directive into
those contracts.
(b) Once notified, contracting officers are responsible for
incorporating this directive into the affected contracts via the
Laws, Regulations, and DOE Directives clause of the contracts.
(3) A violation of the provisions of the CRD relating to the safeguarding or
security of Restricted Data or other classified information may result in a
civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of section 234B, of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 228b.). The procedures for the assessment
of civil penalties are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Part 824, Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties
for Classified Information Security Violations, (10 CFR Part 824).
(4) As stated in DEAR clause 970.5204-2, titled Laws, Regulations, and DOE
Directives, regardless of the performer of the work, site/facility
contractors with the CRD incorporated into their contracts are responsible
for compliance with the CRD. Affected site/facility management
contractors are responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD
to subcontracts at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure compliance
CANCELE
D

with the requirements. In doing so, contractors must not unnecessarily or
imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts. That is, contractors
must both ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with the
requirements of this CRD and incur only costs that would be incurred by a
prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
(5) This Manual does not automatically apply to other than site/facility
management contracts. Application of any of the requirements in this
Manual to other than site/facility management contracts will be
communicated as follows.
(a) Heads of Field Elements and Headquarters Departmental
Elements. Review procurement requests for new non-site/facility
management contracts that involve classified information or
matter, or nuclear materials and contain DEAR clause 952.204-2,
titled Security Requirements. If appropriate, ensure that the
requirements of the CRD of this Manual are included in the
contract.
(b) Contracting Officers. Assist originators of procurement requests
who want to incorporate the requirements of the CRD of this
Manual in new non-site/facility management contracts, as
appropriate.
c. Exclusion. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by
Executive Order 12344 and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy and
DOE organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy
Administrator for Naval Reactors will implement and oversee all requirements
and practices pertaining to this Manual for activities under the Deputy
Administrator’s cognizance.
d. Exemption.
Section 3
(1) Requirements in this Manual that overlap or duplicate requirements of the,
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) related to radiation protection,
nuclear safety (including quality assurance), and safeguards and security
of nuclear material, do not apply to the design, construction, operation,
and decommissioning of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste
Management (RW) facilities.
(2) This exemption does not apply to requirements for which the NRC defers
to DOE or does not exercise regulatory jurisdiction.
6. DEVIATIONS. Deviations from requirements must be processed in accordance with
Section M.
7. DEFINITIONS. Terms commonly used in the program are defined in the S&S Glossary

PART 1 - PLANNING AND EVALUATIONS
SECTION A - SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM PLANNING
1. OBJECTIVE. To establish a standardized approach for protection program planning that
will provide an information baseline for use in integrating Departmental safeguards and
security (S&S) considerations, facilitating management evaluation of program elements,
determining resources for needed improvements, and establishing cost-benefit bases for
analyses and comparisons.
2. REQUIREMENTS. The following are essential elements for planning for S&S
programs.
a. S&S Philosophy. S&S interests and activities must be protected from theft,
diversion, terrorist attack, industrial sabotage, radiological sabotage, chemical
sabotage, biological sabotage, espionage, unauthorized access, compromise, and
other acts that may have an adverse impact on national security; the environment;
or pose significant danger to the health and safety of Department of Energy
(DOE) Federal and contractor employees or the public.
Section 11
b. S&S Management Plan. This Plan must provide a description of the
implementation of S&S policy and provide detailed information on the
assignment of roles, responsibilities, and authorities, as well as the development
of budgets and allocation of resources. The S&S Management Plan must be
updated annually (at least every 12 months) and must document:
(1) roles, responsibilities, delegations, and authorities for the S&S program;
(2) organizational structure and accountability; and
(3) planning and budget (including personnel resources).
See Appendix 1, S&S Management Plan, for content requirements and suggested
format. However, if a Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual for
S&S has been approved and issued, and it meets the requirements stated above, it
can be used in place of a S&S Management Plan.
c. S&S Program Operations. Actions must be taken to ensure an acceptable S&S
program, including curtailment or suspension of operations when such operations
would result in an immediate and unacceptable impact to national security, the
environment, or the health and safety of the public or employees.
(1) Site-Specific Characterization. Protection programs must be tailored to
address specific site characteristics and requirements, current technology,
ongoing programs, and operational needs to achieve acceptable protection
levels that reduce risks in a cost-effective manner.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26XX-05
Part 1, Section A
2
(2) Threat Policy/Guidance. DOE O 470.3, Design Basis Threat (DBT)
Policy must be used with local threat guidance during the conduct of
vulnerability assessments (VAs) for protection and control program
planning. The DBT must be the baseline threat definition but local threat
guidance may be used to increase the level of threat to be analyzed.
(3) Targeted Protection Strategies.
(a) Strategies for the physical protection of special nuclear materials
(SNM) and vital equipment must incorporate the applicable
requirements established in DOE M 470.4-2, Physical Protection.
(b) Protection strategies must be implemented as specified in the DBT.
(c) Protection program elements must be designed to prevent and/or
mitigate the consequences of acts of radiological, chemical, or
biological sabotage that would cause unacceptable impact to
national security, the environment, or the health and safety of the
public or employees.
(d) Strategies for the protection and control of classified information
or matter must incorporate the applicable requirements established
in DOE M 470.4-4, Information Security.
(e) Security systems must be used that prevent, detect, or deter
unauthorized access, modification, or loss of classified and
unclassified controlled matter and its unauthorized removal from a
site or facility.
(f) Strategies for the protection of government property not covered
above must reflect a graded approach. DOE offices, facilities, and
property protection areas (PPAs) must meet or exceed General
Services Administration (GSA) minimum security standards.
(g) Security countermeasures for explosive threats must address a
range of activities including hand-carried, mailed, and
vehicle-transported devices.
Section 12
d. Graded Protection. The Department recognizes that risks must be accepted
(i.e., that actions cannot be taken to reduce the potential for or consequences of
all malevolent events to zero); however, an acceptable level of risk must be
determined based on evaluation of a variety of facility-specific goals and
considerations. By a graded approach, the Department intends that the highest
level of protection be given to security interests and activities whose loss, theft,
compromise, and/or unauthorized use would seriously affect the national security,
the environment, Departmental programs, and/or the health and safety of the
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 1, Section A
3
public or employees. Protection of other interests and activities must be graded
accordingly.
e. Risk Management. S&S programs must be based on the results of vulnerability
and risk assessments, the results of which are used to design and provide graded
protection in accordance with an asset’s importance or the impact of its loss,
destruction, or misuse. The results of the assessments, to include the
determination of system effectiveness, are one of the key considerations the
manager must evaluate when establishing the level of risk. For example, if it is
determined that there is high risk that is not being mitigated by compensatory
measures, reporting must be made to the Secretary of Energy or the Deputy
Secretary who can accept high risk. Cognizant Under Secretaries can accept
moderate risk.
(1) Vulnerability and risk assessments must be conducted and documented to
support the identification of risks to be accepted by the Department.
(2) To determine the appropriate level of protection against risk, line
management must consider the threat, the vulnerability of the potential
target, and the potential consequences of an adversarial act.
f. Site-Specific Programs.
(1) S&S programs must address site-specific characteristics.
(2) Performance assurance programs must be developed, managed, and
implemented to ensure that S&S programs and protection program
elements protect security interests and activities.
(3) A management and planning process to achieve integrated, site-specific
protection from unauthorized actions must be implemented. This process
must be based on a graded approach that implements the integrated
concepts of deterrence, prevention, detection, and response.
(4) The DBT must be used as the basis for planning protection programs.
3. PLANNING.
a. S&S Plans. S&S plans must be developed for facilities with any of the following
S&S interests:
(1) Category I quantities of SNM or credible roll-up quantities of SNM to a
Category I quantity;
(2) Category II, Category III, or Category IV SNM;
(3) radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threats;

(4) critical mission disruption threats;
(5) intra-/inter-site transportation of SNM;
(6) classified information or matter;
(7) facilities engaged in the protection of government property;
(8) facilities that the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, or Under Secretaries deem
appropriate.
b. Site Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP). The SSSP is a 5-year master planning
document that must be prepared for sites with facilities described in paragraphs
3.a. (1), (3), (4), or (8), above. The SSSP must depict the existing condition of
site protection programs and, when the DBT performance standard cannot be met,
establish improvement priorities and resource requirements for the necessary
improvements. Plan composition is reflected in Part 1, Section C, 5.
Section 13
c. Site Security Plan (SSP). At locations where an SSSP is not required because of
the limited scope of interests (i.e., criteria contained in 3.a. (2), (5), (6), or (7)
above, apply), an SSP must be developed to describe the protection program.
SSPs must be approved by the local DOE cognizant security authority. In
addition, specialized plans must be developed to address protection programs for
other protection operations. Requirements for specialized plans that may or may
not be components of the SSP are set forth in the applicable DOE directives.
d. Planning Inputs. The documents listed below must be used to support program
forecasts and information input used in the protection program planning process.
(1) Applicable Departmental directives, guidance, and intelligence assessment
information developed and disseminated by line management or the Office
of Security.
(2) Programmatic guidance and forecasts of significant changes planned in
site operations as communicated through line management.
(3) Current and projected operational constraints and resources.
(4) Analysis of cost and effectiveness of security technologies versus
traditional protection methodologies.
e. Plan Review and Approval.
(1) The SSSP requires approval by DOE line management and concurrence
by the cognizant Head of the Departmental Element (see Attachment 1).
Such approval authority must be formally delegated to line management.

applicable directive. If approving authority is not otherwise
stipulated, these security plans may be approved by DOE line
management.
(2) The SSSP must be submitted to DOE line management within 150 days of
the termination date of data collection and approved within 120 days of
the submittal date. Directive changes, facility reconfiguration, a new VA,
or other activities that occur after the stated effective date will not be
considered for purposes of reviewing/approving the plan.
(3) The SSSP must be reviewed annually (at least every 12 months). Updates
to the SSSP that may significantly alter the agreed-upon protection
philosophy or performance standards of protection systems must be
subjected to the formal VA process, and if changes are shown to
significantly alter system effectiveness performance, the update(s) will be
subject to the same concurrence and approval as stated in paragraph (1),
above.

SECTION B - SECURITY CONDITIONS
1. OBJECTIVE. To ensure that the Department uniformly meets the requirements of the
Homeland Security Advisory System outlined in Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-3, (HSPD-3), dated 3-11-02, and provides the responses specified in
Presidential Decision Directive 39, U.S. Policy on Counterterrorism (U), dated 6-21-95.
2. THREAT INDICATORS. While the Design Basis Threat (DBT) provides specific
description of threats that all components of the safeguards and security (S&S) system
must be capable of defeating, analysis of terrorism should be an ongoing process.
Although each analysis relies on information included in previous assessments,
judgments with respect to threats to Federal and Department of Energy (DOE)-affiliated
personnel, facilities, and assets begin anew with each analysis.
Section 16
a. Homeland Security Threat Conditions (known in DOE as Security Conditions
[SECONs]) are established based on the analysis of a continuous and timely flow
of integrated all-source threat assessments and reporting provided to Executive
Branch decision-makers. A threat indicator is a condition that, when present,
increases the possibility of a terrorist incident. Seldom does one single indicator
suggest that the threat is imminent, but, when a number of indicators are present,
the level of concern should increase correspondingly. A decision on assigning
SECONs must integrate a variety of considerations. This integration will rely on
qualitative assessment, not quantitative calculation. Higher SECONs indicate
greater risk of a terrorist act, with risk including both probability and gravity.
Despite best efforts, there can be no guarantee that, at any given SECON, a
terrorist attack will not occur. An initial and important factor is the quality of the
threat information itself. The evaluation of this threat information includes, but is
not limited to, the following factors.
(1) To what degree is the threat information credible?
(2) To what degree is the threat information corroborated?
(3) To what degree is the threat specific and/or imminent?
(4) How grave are the potential consequences of the threat?
b. Local and site-specific threat analysis is a dynamic process because the threat and
the countermeasures used to combat the threat are constantly changing. To keep
up with possible changes in the threat, security professionals should develop a
predetermined list of general and specific threat indicators. Threat indicators
should be revised according to site/facility situations and needs. They should be
reviewed at least every 6 months or when a significant incident or change in
conditions indicates that the threat level is increasing or decreasing. Examples of
threat indicators that can be used to develop a site/facility-specific assessment are
listed below.
(1) International incidents or indicators against U.S. interests, personnel, or
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 1, Section B
2
facilities.
(2) Domestic incidents or indicators against Federal or State interests
countrywide.
(3) Local incidents or indicators directed against Federal or DOE interests.
(4) Specific targeting of DOE personnel, facilities, or materials.
3. SECURITY CONDITIONS. The DOE SECON system has been aligned with the
Homeland Security Advisory System.
a. The DOE SECON system describes a progressive level of common sense
protective measures that may be implemented in response to a malevolent or
terrorist threat to any or all DOE facilities, assets, and personnel. The purpose of
the SECON system is to establish standardized protective measures for a wide
range of threats and to help disseminate appropriate, timely, and standardized
information for the coordination and support of DOE crisis or contingency
activities. Once a SECON level is declared, the associated protective measures
should be implemented as soon as possible to the extent they apply to the
individual site or facility. Cognizant security authorities must coordinate SECON
status through their DOE points of contact, as appropriate, and notify the DOE
Headquarters (HQ) Operations Center (OC) and Departmental element of the
site/facility SECON status. Measures associated with each SECON are not
prioritized but should be initiated concurrently when practical.
Section 17
b. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) facilities must be prepared to
respond to SECON directives provided by the Under Secretary for Nuclear
Security/Administrator, NNSA. Non-NNSA facilities must be prepared to
respond to SECON directives provided by the Under Secretary for Energy,
Science and Environment for their individual facilities. Headquarters facilities
must be prepared to respond to SECON directives provided by the Director,
Office of Security. At their discretion, DOE line management may increase
protection measures for facilities under their cognizance if they determine that the
local threat situation warrants additional security. In this event, the DOE HQ OC
and Departmental element must be notified of the SECON level. If DOE line
management or Departmental elements believe that their facilities’ SECON levels
should be less than those issued by the Under Secretary for Energy, Science and
Environment or the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator, NNSA,
a request for exception must be submitted for consideration (see paragraph 3.c.,
below).
c. Any departure from the requirements of this section must be considered an
exception which must be approved in accordance with the requirements set forth
in Section M. No exception is permitted to the protective measures when under
SECON 1, Severe Condition (Red).

D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 1, Section B

d. To the extent possible throughout each increase or decrease in SECON, the
cognizant security authority must:
(1) keep employees informed;
(2) coordinate when appropriate with State and local officials’ actions taken
regarding security and emergency planning; and
(3) at each level of SECON, review security plans, vulnerability assessments
(VAs), emergency response procedures, public affairs guidance and plans,
legal authorities, and Continuity of Operations Plans.
e. A record of specific actions taken for each measure must be maintained. A
description of each SECON, including the necessary circumstances for
implementing, the impact on operations, and the purpose of each protective
posture, is outlined below.
(1) SECON 5, LOW CONDITION (GREEN). This condition is declared
when there is a low risk of terrorist attacks. SECON 5, Low Condition
(Green) exists when a general threat of possible malevolent or terrorist
activity exists, but warrants only a routine security posture.
(2) SECON 4, GUARDED CONDITION (BLUE). This condition is
declared when there is a general risk of terrorist attacks. SECON 4,
Guarded Condition (Blue) applies when there is an increased general
threat of possible malevolent or terrorist activity against personnel and
facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable, and
circumstances do not justify full implementation of SECON 3, Elevated
Condition (Yellow) measures. It may be necessary, however, to
implement certain selected measures from higher SECONs to address
intelligence received or to act as a deterrent. All measures selected for use
under SECON 4, Guarded Condition (Blue) must be capable of being
maintained indefinitely.
(a) Measure 1. At regular intervals, warn all personnel to report the
following to security:
1 suspicious personnel, particularly those carrying suitcases
or other containers, or those observing, photographing, or
asking questions about site operations or security measures;
2 unidentified vehicles parked or operated in a suspicious
manner on or in the vicinity of the site or near site
facilities;
Section 18
3 abandoned parcels or suitcases; and
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 1, Section B
4
4 any other activity considered suspicious.
(b) Measure 2.
1 Ensure that security personnel have immediate access to
building floor plans and emergency/evacuation plans for all
site facilities.
2 Ensure that security personnel are able to seal off an area
immediately.
3 Ensure that key personnel required to implement security
plans are on-call and readily available.
4 Maintain the site Emergency Management Team (EMT) on
2-hour recall.
5 Expand Operations Security measures.
6 Exercise bomb threat procedures.
(c) Measure 3. Secure and seal buildings, rooms, and storage areas
not in regular use. Maintain a list of secured facilities.
(d) Measure 4. Increase unannounced security spot checks (inspection
of personal identification; vehicle registration; and the contents of
vehicles, suitcases, briefcases, and other containers) at access
points for the site and facilities.
(e) Measure 5. Reduce the number of access points for vehicles and
personnel to minimum levels consistent with the requirement to
maintain a reasonable flow of traffic.
(f) Measure 6. As a deterrent, randomly apply measures 14, 15, 16,
17, or 18 from SECON 3, Elevated Condition (Yellow) either
individually or in combination.
(g) Measure 7. Review all operations plans, personnel details, and
logistics requirements that pertain to implementing higher
SECONs.
(h) Measure 8. Review security measures for critical/sensitive
personnel (e.g., directors, managers, members of special access/
security programs, etc.) and implement additional measures
warranted by the threat and existing vulnerabilities (e.g., identified
personnel should alter established patterns of behavior when
traveling in public areas).

(i) Measure 9. Increase liaison with local law enforcement,
intelligence community, security agencies, and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, (FBI) to monitor the threat to site personnel and
facilities. Notify local law enforcement agencies and the FBI
concerning SECON 3, Elevated Condition (Yellow) measures that,
if implemented, could affect their operations in the local
community.
(j) Measure 10. Reserve for site/facility use.
(3) SECON 3, ELEVATED CONDITION (YELLOW). A SECON 3,
Elevated Condition (Yellow) is declared when there is a significant risk of
terrorist attack. Elevated Condition (Yellow) applies when an increased
and more predictable threat of malevolent or terrorist activity exists. The
measures in this SECON must be capable of being maintained for lengthy
periods without causing undue hardship, affecting operational capability,
or aggravating relations with the local community. For measures
requiring an increase in the frequency of a specific action, the new
frequency is to be more often than in the lower-level security condition.
In addition to the measures required by SECON 4, Guarded Condition
(Blue), the following measures should be implemented.
(a) Measure 11. Increase the frequency of warnings required by
Measure 1 and inform personnel of additional unclassified threat
information, if available. Encourage increased community security
awareness of suspicious persons, vehicles, and activities.
(b) Measure 12. Maintain EMT personnel on 2-hour recall;
periodically exercise recall to ensure readiness. Keep all other
personnel involved in implementing special response/contingency
plans on call. Identify, contact, and brief specialists that may be
required for unique contingencies; coordinate lines of
communication.

(c) Measure 13. Review provisions of all operations plans and orders
and special operating procedures associated with implementing
SECON 2, High Condition (Orange).
(d) Measure 14. Move automobiles and objects such as trash
containers, newspaper boxes, crates, etc., at least 30 yards from all
facilities, particularly buildings of a sensitive or prestigious nature.
Identify any areas where an improvised explosive device could be
hidden (i.e., pallet stacks, trash piles, stacked construction
supplies, etc.). If the configuration of the facility or area precludes
implementation of this measure, take appropriate compensatory
measures per local plans (frequent inspection by Explosive
Ordnance Disposal [EOD] teams, if available, controlled access to
CANCELE

regular use for suspicious activity or unattended packages and for
signs of tampering or indications of unauthorized entry.
(g) Measure 17. Implement screening procedures for all incoming
official mail to identify possible explosive or incendiary devices or
other dangerous material. If available, have EOD-trained teams
inspect suspicious items and screen mail periodically. Provide
guidance concerning suspicious packages. Encourage employees
to inspect their individual mail, report suspicious items to security,
and refrain from handling such items until cleared by the
appropriate authority.
(h) Measure 18. Inspect other deliveries and locally designated
common-use facilities to identify explosives and incendiary,
biological, or chemical devices. Use EOD-trained teams for some
screening inspections when available. Instruct site personnel to
report suspicious packages to security and refrain from handling
them until cleared by the appropriate authority.
(i) Measure 19. Increase both overt and covert security force
surveillance of locally designated soft targets to improve
deterrence and build confidence among site personnel. (Covert
surveillance must comply with DOE directives and appropriate
regulatory restrictions.)
(j) Measure 20. Inform employees of the general threat situation.
Limit visitors and escorted uncleared personnel. Periodically
update all personnel as the situation changes to stop rumors and
prevent unnecessary alarm.
(k) Measure 21. Brief representatives of all activities on the site
concerning the threat and security measures implemented in
response to the threat. Explain reasons for actions. Implement
procedures to provide periodic updates for these activity
representatives.
(l) Measure 22. Verify the identity of all personnel entering property
protection areas (PPAs) and other sensitive activities specified in
local plans (i.e., inspect identification badges and grant access

based on visual recognition). Use of automated access control
systems at interior security areas is acceptable and encouraged,
where practical.
On a random basis, visually inspect the interior of all vehicles and
the exterior of all suitcases, briefcases, packages, and other
containers. Increase the frequency of detailed vehicle inspections
(trunk, undercarriage, glove boxes, etc.) and the frequency of
detailed inspections of suitcases, briefcases, and other containers.
Section 20
(m) Measure 23. Increase the frequency of random identity checks
(inspection of security badges and vehicle registration documents)
conducted by security force patrols on the site.
(n) Measure 24. Remind all personnel to lock parked vehicles and
inspect vehicles for suspicious items before entering and driving
them.
(o) Measure 25. Implement additional security measures for
critical/sensitive personnel in accordance with existing plans.
(p) Measure 26. Brief all security force personnel concerning the
threat and policies governing rules of engagement, use of deadly
force, and fresh pursuit. Ensure there is no misunderstanding of
these instructions. Repeat this briefing on a periodic basis.
(q) Measure 27. Increase liaison with local police, intelligence,
security agencies, and the FBI to monitor the threat to site
personnel and facilities. Notify local police agencies concerning
SECON 2, High Condition (Orange) or SECON 1, Severe
Condition (Red) measures that, if implemented, could affect their
operations in the local community.
(r) Measure 28. Survey the surrounding area to determine whether
operational activities near the area might create emergencies or
contingencies that could affect the site/facility (e.g., airports,
military/other government facilities, industrial facilities, railroads
or pipelines, etc.).
(s) Measure 29. Reserve for site/facility use.
(4) SECON 2, HIGH CONDITION (ORANGE). A SECON 2, High
Condition (Orange) is declared when there is a high risk of terrorist
attacks. This condition applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is
received indicating that some form of malevolent or terrorist action
against personnel and facilities is imminent. Implementation of measures
in this security condition for more than a short period probably will create
CANCELE
D

hardship and affect the routine activities of the site and its personnel. For
measures requiring an increase in the frequency of a specific action, the
new frequency is to be more often than in the lower level SECON. The
following measures should be implemented.
(a) Measure 30. Continue all SECON 4, Guarded Condition (Blue)
and SECON 3, Elevated Condition (Yellow) measures or introduce
those that have not already been implemented.
(b) Measure 31. Recall staff representatives and initiate 24-hour
operation of the EMT. Place the Special Response Team (SRT) on
standby alert. Keep all personnel responsible for implementing
special/response contingency plans at their places of duty. Review

and facilities that might make sites more vulnerable to terrorist
attacks.
(k) Measure 40. Consider canceling public events.
(l) Measure 41. Consider initiating Continuity of Operations plans
(m) Measure 42. Reserve for site/facility use.
(5) SECON 1, SEVERE CONDITION (RED). A SECON 1, Severe
Condition (Red) reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks. This condition
applies in the immediate area where a malevolent or terrorist attack has
occurred that may affect the site or when an attack is initiated on the site.
Implementing SECON 1, Severe Condition (Red) will create hardship and
affect the activities of the site and its personnel. Normally, this SECON is
declared as a localized response. For measures requiring an increase in
the frequency of a specific action, the new frequency is to be more often
than in the lower-level SECON. The following measures should be
implemented.
(a) Measure 43. Continue all previous SECON measures and
introduce those that have not already been implemented.
(b) Measure 44. Augment security forces to ensure absolute control
over access to the site, facilities, and other potential target areas.
Establish surveillance points; use night-vision devices.
(c) Measure 45. Working closely with facility management, identify
the owners of all vehicles already on the site. In those cases where
the presence of a vehicle cannot be explained (owner is not present
and the vehicle has no obvious site affiliation), inspect the vehicle
for explosives; incendiary, chemical, or biological devices; or
other dangerous items and remove the vehicle from the vicinity of
facilities, soft targets, and other sensitive areas as soon as possible.
(d) Measure 46. Inspect all vehicles entering the site. Inspections
should include cargo storage areas, undercarriage, glove boxes,
and other areas where explosives, incendiary, chemical, or
biological devices or other dangerous items could be concealed.
(e) Measure 47. Limit access to the site, facilities, and other areas to
those personnel with a legitimate and verifiable need to enter.
Implement positive identification of all personnel. No exceptions.

SECTION C - SITE SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PLANS
1. OBJECTIVE. The Site Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP) is a risk management
document that provides summary information used to describe safeguards and security
(S&S) programs and vulnerability and risk assessments at applicable sites. The objective
of this section is to delineate SSSP content and establish a standard approach to
presenting site protection information and vulnerability assessment (VA) results. The
results and conclusions contained in the plan are intended to guide long-term planning for
site S&S operations. This is accomplished during plan development by identifying: key
site protection elements; annually (at least every 12 months) evaluating site protection in
terms of its adequacy to meet continued mission and threat parameters; and, identifying
resource requirements.
2. APPLICATION. The SSSP is used to evaluate site and facility program elements and
resources as they relate to identified threats and risks. The protection measures identified
in approved SSSPs become the basis for executing and reviewing site protection
programs.
3. SCOPE. The approved SSSP provides assurance that S&S measures address identified
threats and risks. To provide this assurance, the plan must reiterate the assumptions
identified to, and agreed upon, by line management. These assumptions must include
reference to the contract under which the site is operated and those contractual issues that
may impact S&S, applicable Department of Energy (DOE) directives, the threat upon
which VAs are based, the methodology used to conduct VAs, deviations and proposed
deviations, and any unique S&S impacting issues and assumptions that were addressed,
and agreed to, by the responsible parties.
4. PURPOSE. The SSSP describes the graded protection of DOE assets required to be
implemented by line management. The SSSP identifies site risks, cost-benefit analyses,
and comparison of proposed upgrades. The resource plan (RP) must identify near- and
long-term resource requirements needed to ensure the integrity of existing and planned
S&S upgrades. The annual (at least every 12 months) review serves as the basis for
tracking the implementation of protection measures and strategies necessary to maintain
system effectiveness and identifies unfunded requirements.
5. PLAN COMPOSITION. The SSSP includes:
a. references to implementing documents and evidence files;
b. descriptions of site protection strategies, key site S&S programs, approved and
pending deviations, plans and procedures designed to implement, manage and
maintain S&S programs;
c. system effectiveness determinations for the protection of special nuclear material
(SNM), prevention or mitigation of sabotage events, and prevention and/or timely
detection of the loss of classified information or matter based on the status of

performance indicators, such as results of VAs, performance tests, surveys,
inspections, and evaluations of personnel qualifications and training;
d. proposed S&S program upgrades;
e. VAs results that support conclusions reported in the SSSP;
f. assumptions used as part of the VA process;
g. threat parameters used for VAs that are described in the current Design Basis
Threat (DBT), regional threat assessments, and impacts made by local area threat
assessments, if applicable;
h. the details of the changes in the protection through the spectrum of Security
Conditions (SECON) (1-5), to include effects on the calculated baseline system
effectiveness;
i. a description of the evidence files containing material that supports the VAs; and
j. an RP that describes S&S upgrades programmed for completion, upgrades being
introduced as a result of planned and unplanned site changes impacting the
protection program or deficiencies identified as a result of the annual (at least
every 12 months) review of the SSSP, a description of the funding source to
implement the upgrades, and unfunded requirements.
6. EVIDENCE FILES. Supporting documentation that validates data/information used in
the VA process and in other protection program planning presented in the plan and that
may require corroboration must be available in evidence files. Evidence files must be
maintained to provide VA process and other protection program planning documentation
in a logical and readily retrievable form to validate assumptions, modeling input data, test
results, and other data that may be used to support protection system design or
conclusions regarding protection effectiveness.
7. DATA COLLECTION. The effective date (snapshot in time) of the data contained in the
SSSP must be specified.
8. FORMAT. Information provided in the SSSP should be brief, accurate, and concise.
Implementing plans and procedures should be referenced in the plan where appropriate.
A brief overview of a plan or procedure is adequate.
Duplication of information should be avoided. Information already included in other
sections of the plan may be referenced or summarized for clarity.
A cover letter must be attached to the plan indicating that the plan has been reviewed,
risks acknowledged and accepted (if appropriate), and signed by line management. For
example, the SSSP should be approved by the Head of Field Element and submitted for
concurrence to the Departmental element. If high or marginal risk acceptance is needed,
the correspondence must be routed for signature to the Secretary or Deputy Secretary or

SECTION E - VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
1. OBJECTIVE. The Vulnerability Assessment (VA) Program must consider other
programs such as protective force (PF), material control and accountability (MC&A),
emergency operations, safety, maintenance, facility operations, personnel security,
physical protection, and information security.
2. CONDUCTING VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS. The process of conducting a VA
includes gathering data that describe the physical and operational characteristics of a
safeguards and security (S&S) system, assigning values such as delay and detection, and
analyzing the results to determine the relative effectiveness in conjunction with the
adversary’s capabilities as identified in the Design Basis Threat (DBT) and the Adversary
Capabilities List (ACL). Below is a description of the VA process.
a. Assumptions. Assumptions and scoping agreements must be defined. All
assumptions must be documented in the VA report.
b. Threat. The person responsible for the conduct of VAs, hereinafter referred to as
the analyst (see paragraph 9. of this Section), must understand how the DBT
relates to VAs. The analyst performing the VA must apply DOE Headquarters
(HQ), regional and local threat guidance.
(1) DOE HQ Threat.
(a) The DBT must be used to define threat against which VA analysts
evaluate the protection system
(b) The site’s protective systems must be analyzed against the ACL.
(2) Regional and local threats must be considered during the conduct of VAs.
c. Targets. All security interests whose loss, theft, compromise, and/or unauthorized
use will affect the national security and/or the health and safety of DOE and
contractor employees, the public, the environment, or DOE programs are potential
targets. The analyst must consider target configurations and conditions, as well as
operational conditions and acquisition times.
Section 41
d. Modeling. Modeling is used to analyze S&S programs, interests, assets, and the
effectiveness of program implementation. Modeling can include computer-based
tools and simulations, table-top analyses, and subject matter expert analyses.
Section E, Appendix 2, VA Modeling Tools, lists those modeling tools approved
by DOE. Methods to ensure that the models accurately reflect the facility posture
must be part of the final VA results. The modeling process must establish critical
pathways. The following must be considered:
(1) facility characterization;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 1, Section E
2
(2) system effectiveness models and equations must be used. Section E,
Appendix 3, System Performance Effectiveness Equation, delineates the
system effectiveness equation;
(3) response force times;
(4) the probability of neutralization (PN) must be calculated using data
available regarding the PF response and their ability to interrupt and
neutralize an adversary. The methods used must be documented and
retained as part of the evidence file. The calculated number for PN must
be derived from more than one source, one of which must be joint tactical
simulation (JTS), joint conflict and tactical simulation (JCATS), or force-
on-force (FoF) exercises;
(5) blast effect modeling must consider blast effects on barrier breaching, a
force multiplier, and target buildings;
(6) table-top methods used to determine system effectiveness must be
documented and a means provided to allow for validation or verification;
(7) radiological sabotage must be fully analyzed against the DBT and ACL.
Existing information from safety analyses can be used but must be
analyzed to consider deliberate rather than accidental release;
(8) chemical and biological sabotage must be analyzed against the DBT and
ACL;
(9) the analysis must use the thresholds stated in DOE O 470.3, Design Basis
Threat (DBT) Policy; and
(10) the use of chemical and biological agents must be analyzed as a force
multiplier. Methods of release and mitigation measures must be a part of
the analysis.
e. Performance Testing. If conducted, the results of the following tests (including
validation) must be considered in determining system effectiveness:
(1) FoF exercises;
(2) limited scope performance tests (LSPTs);
(3) alarm response and assessment performance tests (ARAPTs);
(4) breaching test data; and
(5) critical system element tests.

f. Results. The results of VAs indicate PE. The VA results must be used for
determining:
(1) protection system effectiveness reporting;
(2) S&S upgrades;
(3) manning/armament levels for the PF; and
(4) justifications for waivers of and exceptions to S&S policy.
g. VA Practitioner Training. VA practitioners must successfully complete VA
Program training within 2 years of appointment. This requirement can be met
through the National Training Center (NTC).
3. QUALITY ASSURANCE. The analyst must verify the data used for the analyses. These
data include:
a. modeling data to include detection, assessment, delay, interruption, neutralization,
PF response times, etc.;
b. all facility modeling characterization direct settings, rationales, and
documentation;
c. performance test results and documentation; and
d. sensitivity analyses such as single point failure and critical system element
analyses.
4. VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT. All information used to support or document VAs
must be maintained and made available upon request. Examples include:
Section 42
a. modeling inputs;
b. PF response;
c. adversary capabilities;
d. blast effects;
e. sabotage data;
f. timeline data; and
g. neutralization data.
5. ASSIGNING FIGURES OF MERIT. “Figures of merit” is defined as numerical values
and/or qualitative ratings assigned to component systems and personnel associated with
the protection system. Collectively the qualitative and/or quantitative measures provide
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 1, Section E
4
the basis for determining system effectiveness. Approved reference materials must be
used to provide initial data and to calculate accurate detection and delay numbers. A list
of approved references is provided in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program
References. Reference materials are to be used only as a basis for the relative figures of
merit. Non-default figures of merit must be documented and based on performance
testing or engineering studies.
6. CRITICAL SYSTEM ELEMENTS. Critical system elements are components or
subcomponents of an S&S protection system that directly affects the ability of the system
to perform a required function. Critical system elements may be equipment, procedures,
or personnel. Failure of a critical system element would result in the protection system
effectiveness of the target being reduced to levels requiring management action. Critical
system elements must be:
a. identified for every target that requires a VA;
b. specifically delineated such that specific performance tests can be performed to
determine the ability of the protection measures to perform their intended
function; and
c. tested, documented, and the results analyzed to validate element effectiveness.
7. VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT REPORTS. The vulnerability assessment report
(VAR) documents the results of a VA. The VARs must include targets analyzed,
methodology used, system effectiveness results, parameters and assumptions under which
the VA was conducted, and reference to evidence files. VARs published in support of an
SSSP should conform to the suggested format given in Section E, Appendix 4, Suggested
VA Report Format. The approval chain for VARs is below.
a. The analyst responsible for the VA must sign the report.
b. Line management responsible for the facility/site VA Program must approve the
report.
c. DOE line management responsible for the VA Program must concur with the
report.
d. The DOE cognizant security authority must concur with the report.
8. SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS. Only the Secretary of Energy or the Deputy Secretary can
accept low protection system effectiveness that results in high risk. Cognizant Under
Secretaries can accept marginal protection system effectiveness that results in moderate
risk. If the results of a VA, survey, self-assessment, audit, or inspection conducted by the
cognizant security authority, Departmental element, Office of Security, or Office of
Independent Oversight and Performance Assurance indicate a decreased (low or
marginal) protection system effectiveness that is not mitigated by compensatory

risk is identified, that condition must be reported to the responsible
Departmental element within 4 hours.
Section 43
(2) A corrective action plan must be submitted to the responsible
Departmental element within 8 hours, with a copy to the Office of
Security.
(3) The Departmental element must make formal notification to the Secretary
or Deputy Secretary within 24 hours.
(4) The Departmental element in consultation with the Office of Security
must provide comments on the protection system effectiveness and
recommendations to the Secretary/Deputy Secretary within 36 hours.
(5) The responsible Departmental element must update the Secretary or
Deputy Secretary on low protection system effectiveness conditions every
30 days with an information copy to the Office of Security.
b. Marginal Protection System Effectiveness.
(1) Once a marginal protection system effectiveness condition that results in
moderate risk is identified, that condition must be reported to the
responsible Departmental element within 2 working days.
(2) The Departmental element must notify the appropriate Under Secretary
within 3 working days.
(3) A corrective action plan with recommendations must be submitted to the
responsible Departmental element within 5 working days with a copy to
the Office of Security.
(4) The Office of Security must provide comments to the Departmental
element within 5 working days.

SECTION E
APPENDIX 3 - SYSTEM PERFORMANCE EFFECTIVENESS EQUATION
The methodology requires the determination of the probability of sensing, probability of
assessment, and probability of detection at each layer. These are then combined to determine the
contribution to overall system effectiveness represented by each layer. Mathematically, this can
be expressed as the equation:
PEL = PIL x PNL = PDL * PNL = PAL * PSL * PNL
Where:
PEL is the system effectiveness contribution for layer L;
PIL – Probability of Interruption given first detection at layer L, PIL = PDL if detection on
layer L is timely, and is equal to 0 (PIL = 0) if detection is not timely;
PDL – Probability of Detection at layer L, PDL = PSL x PAL on layer L. PDL is the
probability of first detection at layer L, given that detection has not occurred at an earlier
layer, multiplied by the probability of sensing at an earlier layer, multiplied by the
probability of sensing at layer L (PSL) and the probability of assessment at layer L (PAL);
PSL – Probability of Sensing on layer L;
PAL – Probability of Assessment on layer L; and
PNL – Probability of Neutralization given first detection at layer L.
L is defined as the number of detection layers in the system before the critical detection
point (CDP) in the adversary path(s). Detection after the CDP cannot not be counted.
PE is defined as the system effectiveness of the layer. The system effectiveness of the
layer is the product of the probability of interruption of the layer and the probability of
neutralization given that detection occurred at that layer (PI x PN). The probability of
neutralization is determined discretely for each layer given detection at the layer. The
neutralization determination is made if detection (regardless of the extent) takes place at
the layer in question. Neutralization will occur sometime past the detection point and
would be valid for the probability of neutralization of that specific layer.
PD of the layer is defined as the product of the probability of sensing and the probability
of assessment of the layer (PS x PA). Note that detection and assessment will be different
between the elements of the layer and between layers.
PIL of the layer is defined as PIL = PDL if detection on layer L is timely, and is equal to 0
(PIL = 0) if detection is not timely.
The Σ symbol is the summation of terms. The summation symbol is defined as:

Section 45
For those protection systems based on sensing, assessment, detection, interruption, and active
neutralization of an adversary, credit can only be taken up to the “point on the pathway” at which
the total of the adversary task time, engagement times, and delay times exceeds the protective
force response times. This limiting criteria eliminates credit being taken for protection system
capabilities that are not engaged prior to the adversary completing their objective. For denial
based protection systems, the “point on the pathway” is the critical detection point. The critical
detection point is defined as the point at which the protective force must have timely detection,
assessment, and response to initiate a response to have a high probability of success in the
neutralization of the adversary or denial of the adversary’s task/objective. Therefore, for a
facility employing multiple, complementary layers of protection, the representative total
protection system effectiveness is calculated up to the point at which the protection systems can
still effectively engage an adversary prior to completion of the objective.
The contributions of each layer along the adversary pathway are then combined to determine the
overall system effectiveness, where the overall system effectiveness is provided by the sum of
the contributions of each layer (only those encountered along the adversary pathway) to the
system effectiveness.
An example of the system effectiveness equations for a three-layer system protecting SNM
would be as follows:
In extended notation, the Overall System Effectiveness is:
PE = (PA1 x PS1 x PN1) + [(1 – (PA1 x PS1)) x (PA2 x PS2 x PN2)] + {(1 – ((PA1 x PS1) + [(1 –
(PA1 x PS1)) x (PA2 x PS2)])) x (PA3 x PS3 x PN3)}
Which reduces to:
PE = (PD1 x PN1) + [(1 – PD1) x (PD2 x PN2)] + {(1 – (PD1 + [(1 – PD1) x PD2])) x (PD3 x
PN3)},
and since PIL = PDL when detection is timely,
PE = (PI1 x PN1) + [(1 – PI1) x (PI2 x PN2)] + {(1 – (PI1 + [(1 – PI1) x PI2])) x (PI3 x PN3)}
PE = PE1 + [(1 – PI1) x PE2] + {(1 – (PI1 + [(1 – PI1) x PI2])) x PE3)}

safeguards and security (S&S) interests by systematically evaluating all protection
program essential elements.
Section 46
2. REQUIREMENTS. Each performance assurance program must be developed to validate
the performance of all essential S&S protection elements.
a. Operability and Effectiveness. Performance assurance programs must provide for
operability and effectiveness testing of each protection program essential element
or component.
(1) Operability tests provide measures of integrity and must check the
essential elements or total system to confirm operability.
(2) Performance tests provide comprehensive assurance that protection
program elements are performing as designed and provide the required
levels of protection.
(a) Performance tests results are used to validate the effectiveness of
all elements of a layered S&S system.
(b) Performance tests are not substitutes for compliance with
requirements.
b. Continuity. Performance assurance programs must evaluate operational
continuity of all S&S essential elements. Limited Scope Performance Tests
(LSPTs) and/or force-on-force (FoF) tests may be used as a means of meeting
specific performance assurance testing requirements. Performance assurance
programs require that:
(1) new protection program essential elements and components must be
validated through acceptance testing before operational use;
(2) essential elements that have been repaired or undergone maintenance must
be validated through testing before use;
(3) the protective force (PF) is performance tested to ensure that approved
protection strategies of denial, containment, recapture, recovery, and
pursuit can be accomplished; and
(4) essential elements of the protection program security systems and
subsystems are performance tested to ensure that system detection,
assessment, and response to alarms and adversarial actions meet stated
requirements.

S&S effectiveness.
(1) Those Category I facilities requiring denial protection strategies must
conduct integrated performance testing on a quarterly basis (at least every
3 months).
OR
(2) Those sites with multiple Category I facilities requiring denial protection
strategies may rotate quarterly performance testing so that at least one
facility is tested on a quarterly basis (at least every 3 months). However,
an integrated performance test for all Category I facilities must occur at
least once every 365 days.
e. Documentation.
(1) Performance Assurance Program Plan. This plan must be an integral part
of the site safeguards and security plan (SSSP)/site security plan (SSP), or
material control and accountability (MC&A) plan, as applicable. The
performance assurance program plan must describe the program and its
administration and implementation by:
(a) identifying protection elements for the protection of Category I and
II special nuclear material (SNM) and Top Secret matter;
Section 47
(b) describing how the performance of these elements is to be ensured,
including the manner in which credit is taken for activities

SECTION G - SURVEY, REVIEW, AND SELF-ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS
1. OBJECTIVES.
a. Provide assurance to the Secretary of Energy, Departmental elements, and other
government agencies (OGAs) that safeguards and security (S&S) interests and
activities are protected at the required levels.
b. Provide a basis for line management to make decisions regarding S&S program
implementation activities, including allocation of resources, acceptance of risk,
and mitigation of vulnerabilities. The results must provide a compliance- and
performance-based documented evaluation of the S&S program.
c. Identify S&S program strengths and weaknesses, develop and complete a process
improvement schedule, and use the results to correct and improve the overall S&S
program.
d. Provide documentation of oversight and assessment activities.
2. REQUIREMENTS.
a. Types and Frequencies of Surveys and Assessments.
(1) Initial Surveys. Initial surveys must be conducted at facilities where there
will be a facility clearance established for a facility with an importance
rating of: A, B, C, or PP (see Section I, Chapter II). Survey activities
must be comprehensive and result in a satisfactory composite rating prior
to a facility clearance (FCL) being granted.
(2) Periodic Surveys. Periodic surveys are conducted for all facilities and
must cover all applicable topics to ensure survey program objectives are
met. The periodic survey may be composed of multiple special survey
reports, providing all the requirements of this Section are met. Integration
of internal and external reports including quality assurance, property
appraisals, performance assurance, and other evaluation reports may be
used to augment the requirement for a periodic survey. A DOE Federal
facility (e.g. site office) conducting a periodic survey are is required to
perform self-assessment as noted in 6, below.
(a) Facilities with importance ratings of A, B, or C must be surveyed
once every 12 months (with the exception of Category IV SNM
only facilities – see (c) below).
(b) Facilities with an importance rating of PP must be surveyed once
every 24 months.

(c) For facilities with Category IV special nuclear material (SNM) and
nuclear material, including source material, the nuclear material
control and accountability (MC&A) topical area must be surveyed
at least every 24 months.
(d) Facilities with importance ratings of D, NP, or E do not require
surveys but do require periodic reviews (see (5), below).
(3) Special Surveys. Special surveys may be conducted at facilities for
specific limited purposes. Examples include extended survey activities,
technical security activities, “for cause” reviews, line management
direction, shipment of nuclear and/or classified information or matter, or a
change in the contractor operating a government-owned facility.
Section 48
(4) Termination Surveys. Termination surveys must be conducted to verify
the termination of Departmental activities and appropriate disposition of
S&S interests. Examples of survey activities include: the appropriate
disposition, destruction, or return of classified information or matter,
SNM, hazardous material, property, security badge retrieval, debriefings,
and verification of the termination or transfer of Department of Energy
(DOE) access authorizations.
(a) Onsite termination surveys must be conducted at facilities
possessing Top Secret matter, sensitive compartmented
information (SCI)/ special access program (SAP) information or
matter, or SNM.
(b) Onsite or correspondence termination surveys must be
accomplished for all other possessing facilities.
(5) Periodic Reviews. A documented review of entities (D, NP, and E
facilities) such as subcontractors, consultants, and common carriers must
be performed by the DOE cognizant security authority at least every 5
years.
(6) Self-Assessments. Self-assessments must be conducted between the
periodic surveys conducted by the cognizant security authority and
include all applicable facility S&S program elements. The self-
assessment must ensure the S&S objectives are met (see paragraph 1.,
above). Federal facilities may use the self-assessment to substitute for the
Periodic Survey requirement. NP facilities are not required to conduct
self-assessments. However, sponsoring organizations (Federal or
contractor) must include in their self-assessments a thorough review of
their registration program for NP facilities which may result in a program
review of identified subcontractors.

(7) Reviews or Inspections by Other DOE Elements or OGAs.
Reviews/inspections conducted by other DOE elements (including site
quality assurance programs) or OGAs may be used to meet survey
requirements. When using reviews/inspections conducted by other
organizations to meet the requirements of the survey, the guidelines below
must be followed.
(a) The review/inspection must have been conducted within the survey
period.
(b) Applicable portions of the review/inspection must be attached to
the survey report.
(c) Portions of topical and subtopical areas not covered by the
review/inspection must be surveyed.
(d) If ratings were not assigned during the review/inspection, the
surveying office must analyze the impact of any deficiencies and
assign ratings.
(8) Extension of Frequency. The results of previous surveys may affect the
frequency of future surveys. The interval between periodic surveys may
be increased up to 24 months by the DOE cognizant security authority.
Documentation of the justification for increases in the interval of periodic
surveys must be maintained by the DOE cognizant security authority.
(a) The following conditions must be met for extensions:
1 the facility was rated satisfactory during the most recent
survey activity;
2 the facility has no unmitigated deficiencies that impact the
security posture of the facility, and all applicable topical
area ratings are satisfactory from the previous survey; and
3 all applicable topical area ratings from the most recent self-
assessment are satisfactory, and the DOE cognizant
security authority concurs with the ratings.
(b) Increasing the interval between surveys for a facility possessing
Category I SNM or with credible roll-up to Category I SNM must
be approved, in writing, by the Associate Administrator for
Defense Nuclear Security or the Under Secretary for Energy,
Science, and Environment.

(c) All modifications to survey frequency requirements must be
documented in the Safeguards and Security Information
Management System (SSIMS).
b. Scope and Methodologies. Surveys and self-assessments must provide an
integrated evaluation of all topical and subtopical areas to determine the overall
status of the S&S program and ensure the objectives of this Section are met (see
paragraph 1., above). The integrated evaluation is a comprehensive synergistic
approach using multiple S&S program elements that ensures total system
effectiveness and, if properly implemented, will meet the objectives identified in
paragraph 1., above. The scope of these activities and the methods used must
include those listed below.
(1) Compliance. Compliance reflects the status of the S&S program as
measured against implementation of applicable Federal statutes,
regulations, policies, approved site safeguards and security plans
(SSSPs)/site security plans (SSPs), and other approved security plans.
(2) Performance. Performance indicates the degree to which the elements of
the S&S program meet protection objectives based on the operational
testing of program elements.
(3) Comprehensiveness. Comprehensiveness identifies the breadth of
protection afforded all activities and interests within a facility. This is
accomplished by an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of
programs and a thorough examination of the implementation of policies,
practices, and procedures to ensure compliance and performance. All
applicable topical areas identified on DOE Form (F) 470.8,
“Survey/Inspection Report” Form must be evaluated.
(4) Other. The scope of special and termination surveys is determined by the
DOE cognizant security authority in coordination with the surveying
office. Determinations of survey scope are predicated on the nature or
status of operations at the facility, activity, or element being surveyed.
These surveys may not cover all topical areas identified on DOE F 470.8.
3. CONDUCT. Local survey and self-assessment procedures implementing this Section
must be developed, documented, and approved by the cognizant security authority.
Procedures must ensure completion of the objectives contained in paragraph 1., above
and must include the requirements listed below.
a. Team Composition. Survey and self-assessment team personnel must possess
qualifications, experience, and training sufficient to review and inspect the
topical/subtopical areas of the survey/self-assessment. The National Training
Center (NTC) provides training courses for survey team leaders and team
members.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1

(1) Survey teams must be led by a Federal employee and may be composed of
Departmental Federal and contractor personnel.
(2) Self-assessments must include at least one person from the cognizant
security authority.
b. Planning, Scheduling, and Integration. Surveys and self-assessments must be
planned, scheduled, and conducted in an integrated manner to achieve the
objectives identified in paragraph 1., above. If topical and subtopical area
evaluations are performed separately, the surveying office must document and
integrate the results of each into a single (periodic) survey report that includes a
composite facility rating. The frequency between topical and subtopical areas
cannot exceed the frequency for the single (periodic) survey.
Section 50
c. Validation. Results must be validated by methods including, but not limited to,
document reviews, performance testing, and interview analyses and observations.
d. Exit Briefing. An exit briefing must be conducted with the surveyed or assessed
organization to include the minimum facts:
(1) program strengths and weaknesses, including all findings;
(2) corrective action reporting requirements for all open findings, regardless
of source; and
(3) topical and composite ratings. For less than satisfactory ratings, the
communication of the composite rating initiates the actions required in
paragraph 8. of this Section.
4. FINDINGS.
a. Identification and Documentation. Findings are any validated program deficiency
(failure to meet a performance or compliance requirement) regardless of source.
Findings may be reflected in documents resulting from internal and external
reviews, audits, appraisals, and other sources (e.g., the Office of Independent
Oversight and Performance Assurance [OA], the Government Accountability
Office [GAO], the Office of the Inspector General (IG), previous surveys, self
assessments, etc.).
All open findings must be reviewed during the survey or self-assessment to
validate the status of corrective action and to evaluate the impact on the existing
S&S program.
Findings identified during the current survey or self-assessment must be reported
immediately to the Departmental element and contractor line management if a
vulnerability to national security, classified information or matter, nuclear
materials, or Department property results, or may result, in a programmatic

impact to the Department. Findings identified during a survey or self-assessment,
even if closed during the survey or self-assessment activity, must be documented
in the associated report.
b. Tracking. Findings and deficiencies, regardless of source, and corrective action
plans (milestones and estimated completion dates) must be entered into SSIMS in
accordance with SSIMS guidelines and tracked until closed. Quarterly status
reports must be entered into SSIMS by January 15, April 15, July 15, and October
15, of each year. Self-assessment deficiencies are not required to be entered into
SSIMS; however, a local mechanism/system must be used to track these
deficiencies and corrective action until closed.
c. Trending. Trending evaluations must be considered in the resolution of findings
in the subtopical area of program management to determine if systemic and
systematic causal factors exist within the S&S program. Results of this
evaluation that indicate negative trends must be analyzed to ensure corrective
action plans address root causes and the need to ensure continuous improvement
of the S&S program.
5. RATINGS.
a. Types. Ratings must be based on the effectiveness and adequacy of the program
at a facility and reflect a balance of performance and compliance results as well as
the impact of the deficiency(ies) (e.g., findings, IG recommendations, etc.) and
mitigating factors. The ratings listed below must be used for all surveys (except
termination), reviews, and self-assessments. Does Not Apply (DNA) and Not
Rated (NR) may also be used in applicable situations.
(1) Types of Ratings.
(a) Satisfactory. The element being evaluated meets protection
objectives or provides reasonable assurance that protection
objectives are being met.
Section 51
(b) Marginal. The element being evaluated partially meets protection
objectives or provides questionable assurance that protection
objectives are being met.
(c) Unsatisfactory. The element being evaluated does not meet
protection objectives or does not provide adequate assurance that
protection objectives are being met.
(d) Inspection Ratings. “Effective Performance,” “Needs
Improvement,” and “Significant Weaknesses” are indicators of a
management system performance level as outlined in DOE O
470.2B, Independent Oversight and Assurance Program, dated 10-
31-02.
CANCELE

(2) Rating Determinations.
(a) Existing Conditions. Ratings must be based on existing conditions
at the end of the survey and not future or planned corrective
actions or conditions.
(b) Impact. Ratings must be based on the impact of all open
deficiencies, regardless of source.
(c) Marginal or Unsatisfactory Ratings. Less than satisfactory ratings
in any topical area must be based on validated weaknesses in the
S&S system or deficiencies in performance.
(d) Topical Area Ratings. A topical area rating must not be marginal
for consecutive survey periods and will be assigned an
unsatisfactory rating unless one of the following conditions
applies.
1 The current survey of the topical area results in a
satisfactory rating.
2 The previous survey that resulted in a marginal rating
identified different deficiencies and reasons for the rating.
3 The deficiencies and reasons that were the basis for the
previous marginal rating were related to the completion of
a line item construction project or upgrade program. In that
case, acceptable interim measures must have been
implemented, physically validated pending completion of
the project, and documented in the survey report.
(e) Subtopical Ratings. The decision whether or not to use all
subtopical ratings must be documented in local procedures.2
Regardless of the rating method used, the report must include the
evaluation of all required subtopical areas which must be used as
part of the appropriate topical area rating justification and
rationale.
(f) Justification and Rationale. All ratings must be supported and
documented to include the rating justification and rationale.
6. REPORT CONTENT.
a. Initial/Periodic Survey Reports and Self-Assessment Reports. Reports must
contain the following items.
2 A minimum of one subtopical area rating must be used to effect the rating for the topical area in SSIMS.

8. NOTIFICATIONS AND ACTIONS FOR LESS THAN SATISFACTORY SURVEY
COMPOSITE RATINGS. When the survey composite ratings are less than satisfactory
the following notifications and actions must occur.
a. Marginal Ratings. Within 15 working days of the determination of a marginal
composite rating, the DOE cognizant security authority must ensure SSIMS is
updated and provide the applicable Departmental elements and OGAs with the
following:
(1) a statement identifying the vulnerabilities and the rationale for the rating;
(2) description of the corrective action/compensatory measures taken to date;
(3) a statement acknowledging physical validation of the adequacy of items
listed in 8.a. (2), above.
(4) If the surveying office is not the same as the DOE cognizant security
authority, the surveying office must notify the DOE cognizant security
authority of results prior to departure from the site.
b. Unsatisfactory Ratings. Within 24 hours of determination of an overall composite
rating of Unsatisfactory, the DOE cognizant security authority must coordinate
with the Departmental element to take the following actions:
(1) Suspend the activity and/or the Facility Clearance (FCL) pending remedial
action.
OR
(2) Provide the justification for continuing this critical operation to the Office
of Security, the Departmental element, and as directed, other applicable
Department elements. In addition to providing the rationale, the DOE
cognizant security authority must identify and evaluate those immediate
interim corrective actions being undertaken to mitigate identified risks or
vulnerabilities.
NOTE: If the surveying office is not the same as the DOE cognizant security
authority, the surveying office must notify the DOE cognizant security authority
of the results immediately. If the surveying office is unable to contact the DOE
cognizant security authority, action must be taken to protect activities until the
DOE cognizant security authority can be notified. Subsequent action must be
taken on the basis of agreement between the two organizations and must be fully
documented in the survey report.
9. NOTIFICATIONS AND ACTIONS FOR LESS THAN SATISFACTORY SELF-
ASSESSMENT COMPOSITE RATINGS. Actions required in response to less than
satisfactory self-assessment composite ratings are listed below:
CANCELE

Section 54
a. Marginal Ratings. Within 15 working days of the determination of a marginal
composite rating, notification must be made to line management that includes:
(1) a statement identifying the vulnerability and rationale for the rating;
(2) a description of the corrective action/compensatory measures taken to date;
and
(3) a statement acknowledging physical validation of the adequacy of items
listed in paragraph 9.a. (2), above.
b. Unsatisfactory Ratings. Within 24 hours of determination of an overall composite
rating of unsatisfactory, the cognizant security authority must coordinate with the
DOE cognizant security authority, which in turn must coordinate with the
Departmental element to take the following actions:
(1) suspend the activity and/or recommend suspension of the FCL pending
remedial action;
(2) provide justification for continuing operations to the DOE cognizant
security authority. In addition to providing the rationale, the cognizant
security authority must evaluate those immediate interim corrective
actions being undertaken to mitigate identified risks or vulnerabilities; and
(3) if the results of a self-assessment identify an incident of security concern;
it must be reported in accordance with Section N.
10. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. Corrective action plans must be developed for all open
survey and self-assessment findings. Corrective action plans for survey and self-
assessments must be submitted and reported within 30 working days after the date of the
exit briefing. If a finding is corrected during the survey, it will be identified in the survey
report with a description of the closure/validation performed by the survey/self-
assessment team. Quarterly reports of the status of corrective actions for each finding
must be provided to the DOE cognizant security authority. All survey and self-
assessment corrective actions must:
a. be based on documented root cause analyses, risk assessments, and cost-benefit
analyses to ensure the survey/self-assessment program objectives are met (see
paragraph 1., above);
b. be reported, entered, tracked, and updated until completed, validated, and closed
in SSIMS, where applicable (see paragraph 4.b., above).
11. UPGRADE OF COMPOSITE RATINGS. When line management determines that the
composite rating should be upgraded, the survey/self-assessment team must physically
verify the completion and adequacy of corrective actions and make notification of the
rating upgrade in accordance with approved local procedures.

CHAPTER I - GENERAL FOCI PROGRAM INFORMATION
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
a. Evaluation and adjudication of FOCI compose an essential and critical ongoing
element of the FCL program. A contractor cannot be under FOCI to such a
degree that granting or continuing an FCL would be inconsistent with U.S.
national security interests. An FCL may not be granted until all relevant aspects
of FOCI have been resolved and, if necessary, favorably adjudicated. If a
company with an existing FCL is determined to be under FOCI, the FCL must be
suspended or terminated unless security measures are taken to remove the
possibility of unauthorized access or adverse impacts to classified contract
performance.3
b. The determination of whether a U.S. company is under FOCI, its eligibility for an
FCL, and the security measures deemed necessary to negate FOCI impacts must
be made on a case-by-case basis. The following factors must be considered in the
aggregate to determine whether a company is under FOCI, is eligible for an FCL,
and the protective measures required:
(1) foreign intelligence threat;
(2) risk of unauthorized technology transfer;
(3) type and sensitivity of classified information or matter, or special nuclear
material (SNM);
(4) nature, source, and extent of FOCI, including identification of immediate,
intermediate, and ultimate parent organizations;
(5) record of compliance with pertinent laws, regulations, and contracts; and
(6) nature of bilateral and multilateral security and information exchange
agreements that may be relevant.
c. Development of security measures to mitigate the impact of unacceptable FOCI
must be based on the concept of risk management. DOE has the obligation to
impose any security method, safeguard, or restriction it believes necessary to
ensure that unauthorized access to classified information or matter, or SNM is
effectively precluded and the performance of classified contracts is not adversely
affected.
d. Changed conditions, such as a change in ownership, indebtedness, or foreign
intelligence threat, may justify certain adjustments to the security requirements
under which a company is operating or require that a different FOCI mitigation
3 Classified contract is defined as any contract, license, or other agreement requiring access authorizations.

method be used. A changed condition may result in a determination that a
company is no longer considered to be under FOCI or, conversely, that a
company is no longer eligible for an FCL.
2. APPLICABILITY.
a. The entities4 listed below are required to obtain FOCI determinations.
(1) Applicants, including industrial, educational, commercial, or any other
entity, grantee, or licensee, including an individual, that have or anticipate
executing a classified contract. This includes subcontractors of any tier,
consulting firms, agents, grantees, and cooperative research and
development agreement participants who require access authorizations.
(2) All tier parents located in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or a U.S. possession or
trust territory
b. A FOCI determination is not required for an individual performing work under a
consulting agreement (e.g., an individual awarded a contract).5 This does not
include individuals contracting as a business.
Section 56
c. When the applicant is a local, state, or Federal agency or department, the contract
must contain a security clause. The security clause must state that if the
government agency or department subcontracts any work requiring access to
classified information or matter by a commercial entity, its acquisition regulation,
including FOCI policies, must be followed. If the government agency or
department does not have its own FOCI policies or an agreement with the
Secretary of Defense for industrial security services, DOE will render the FOCI
determination.
d. When contracts involve access to SNM, DOE will render the FOCI determination.
e. Contractors with existing U.S. Government FCLs are identified in Safeguards and
Security Information Management System (SSIMS) and the Department of
Defense (DoD) Defense Security Service/Central Verification Activity System
(DSS/CVA).
f. No further FOCI review is required for an applicant holding an equal or higher
U.S. Government FCL, based upon a favorable FOCI determination.
g. Information submitted with a FOCI package is used for the sole purpose of
evaluating FOCI and must be treated by DOE, to the extent permitted by law, as
business/financial information submitted in confidence. The information must be
protected as Official Use Only (OUO).
4 The entities listed are referred to as “applicants” throughout this Section.
5 The self-employed individual’s or consultant’s foreign involvement is determined through the background
investigation conducted to determine the individual’s eligibility for an access authorization.

h. Personnel responsible for the FOCI program can successfully meet FOCI
competencies through training courses offered at the National Training Center
(NTC).
3. CONTRACT AWARD MUST NOT BE MADE PRIOR TO FCL ISSUANCE. The
DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) prohibits the award of a classified contract until an
FCL has been granted. When an existing contract that does not require access
authorizations is modified to require access authorizations, the contract modification
cannot take effect until an FCL is granted. Contract award/modification cannot be made
until:
a. all relevant aspects of FOCI have been resolved and, if necessary, are favorably
adjudicated;
b. the signed DOE F 470.1, “Contract Security Classification Specification” (CSCS)
is accepted by the cognizant security authority; and
c. the appropriate DEAR security clauses have been incorporated in the contract.
4. ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION/PROCESSING WEB SITE. The Department has an
electronic system for applicants to submit FOCI information to DOE in an electronic
format. To ensure confidentiality of the information submitted and stored on the system,
the site is protected with 128-bit encryption.
a. Applicants may use this system for the submission of FOCI packages, including
changes to update their FOCI information. The FOCI web site maybe accessed
via an Internet browser at https://foci.td.anl.gov. Electronic signatures are not
accepted; therefore a signed original SF 328, “Certificate Pertaining to Foreign
Interests,” executed in accordance with the instructions on the certification
section of the SF 328, must be submitted to the DOE cognizant security authority.
b. Federal employees and supporting contractors should use the Electronic
Submission Processing System website at http://greylist.td.anl.gov.

CHAPTER II - FOCI ACTIVITIES
1. DETERMINING THE SECURITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLASSIFIED
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT.
a. The procurement request originator (or other individual(s), as designated by line
management) must identify and document, on the appropriate procurement form,
the security requirements of the classified contract. If the procurement request
requires access authorizations, a DOE F 470.1 CSCS6 must be completed by the
procurement request originator.
b. The procurement request originator submits the appropriate procurement form
and DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the contracting officer. Upon receipt of these forms,
the contracting officer must incorporate the appropriate security clauses in the
solicitation. When the applicant is included in the competitive range, they will be
required to complete the SF 328.
2. DETERMINING THE FCL STATUS OF THE APPLICANT. The contracting officer
must identify the FCL status of all applicants within the competitive range and
preliminary selection criteria for the pending contract. The contracting officer must then
verify whether the applicant’s FCL meets the appropriate level of the pending contract.
Verification of existing FCLs must be obtained through SSIMS or DoD DSS/ CVA.
3. ACCEPTING A FOCI DETERMINATION RENDERED BY ANOTHER FEDERAL
AGENCY. The DOE cognizant security authority may accept FOCI determinations
granted by another Federal agency when the related requirements of Section I are met.
4. CLASSIFIED CONTRACT.
a. When the contracting officer determines that the applicant possesses an existing
FCL at the same level required by the pending contract, the contracting officer
must send a DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the DOE cognizant security authority for
review and approval. Contract award cannot be made until the DOE F 470.1
CSCS is signed by the DOE cognizant security authority and returned to the
contracting officer.
b. When the contracting officer determines that the applicant possesses an existing
FCL but the pending contract requirements exceed the level of the current FCL,
the contracting officer must send a DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the DOE cognizant
security authority for review and approval. Contract award cannot be made until
the contracting officer has received the signed DOE F 470.1 CSCS from the DOE
cognizant security authority.
6If a DD F 254, DoD CSCS, has been used by the agency sponsoring the activity; it can be submitted instead of the
DOE F 470.1 CSCS, provided it is annotated with the DOE facility code.

c. When the contracting officer determines that the applicant does not possess an
FCL based on a FOCI determination, the contracting officer must obtain a
complete FOCI package. Appendix 5, FOCI Matrix, summarizes the documents
and forms required to be completed and submitted by the applicant.
(1) When the applicant is owned by a parent organization(s), a separate FOCI
package must be submitted for the applicant and each tier parent located in
the U.S., Puerto Rico, or a U.S. possession or territory. Foreign tier
parents do not need to submit a FOCI package, but each foreign tier parent
must be identified in the FOCI submission(s), and details provided as to
whether the foreign parent(s) is controlled by any foreign government or
any entity that is controlled by a foreign government.
Section 58
(2) When the applicant is a division or branch of a legal entity (i.e., part of but
not a separate legal entity), the division/branch only needs to submit a
listing of its key management personnel (KMP); and if applicable,
representative of foreign interest statement(s), and authorizing resolutions7
for the division/branch’s KMP. The legal entity and, if applicable, its tier
parents must submit a complete FOCI package.
d. After obtaining the packages from the applicant, the contracting officer must
review the submission(s) to ensure the package(s) is complete. When the
package(s) is incomplete, the contracting officer must notify the applicant that the
package cannot be submitted for a FOCI determination and must request a
complete package. After obtaining the required FOCI documentation, the
contracting officer forwards the FOCI package to the DOE cognizant security
authority for processing.
e. Contracting officers must provide written notice to the DOE cognizant security
authority when:
(1) a notice of change has been submitted by the applicant on a FOCI package
submitted for FOCI review;
(2) a requested FOCI review is no longer needed;
(3) a FOCI determination was rendered on an applicant that was not awarded
the contract; and
(4) all work on a contract requiring access authorizations is within 30 days of
the termination or completion. This notification must also be made when
access authorizations are no longer required in performance of the
contract. (Notification can be accomplished by using DOE F 470.1
CSCS.)
7Resolutions (adopted by the governing body) that list the express authority (i.e., duties and responsibilities) of the
organization’s KMP.

f. When insufficient lead time is expected between selection and contract award for
the processing of the FOCI determination, the contracting officer may request a
preliminary review, not a final FOCI determination, of the SF 328 submissions of
each applicant in the competitive range.
g. A final FOCI determination can only be requested for the successful applicant.
Procurement requesters must allow sufficient lead-time for the processing of the
FOCI determination and FCL prior to award of the contract.
5. ADJUDICATION.
a. Adjudication Level.
(1) The DOE cognizant security authority8 renders the FOCI determination
under the following conditions:
(a) the responses to the FOCI questions do not exceed the thresholds
established by the Office of Security; and
(b) exclusion procedures are invoked when the applicant is controlled
by a parent(s) either not requiring access authorizations or
requiring a lower-level of access to classified information or
matter.
(2) If the FOCI exceeds established thresholds, the DOE cognizant security
authority will forward the FOCI submission(s) to the Office of Security
with:
(a) the justification for clearance or exclusion, including the nature of
business and products or services to be furnished under the
classified contract and the technologies involved; and
(b) the DOE cognizant security authority’s analysis, including a clear
statement of the reason why Office of Security adjudication is
required. The Office of Security, in coordination with the Office
of the General Counsel when appropriate, will provide a final
FOCI determination to the DOE cognizant security authority.
Section 59
b. Counterintelligence (CI) Threat Assessment and Technology Transfer Risk
Assessment. A counterintelligence threat assessment and technology transfer risk
assessment must be obtained and considered prior to a final decision to grant an
FCL to an applicant under FOCI or to restore an FCL previously suspended
because of unacceptable FOCI. In addition, these assessments must be updated
periodically under circumstances and at intervals considered appropriate by the
Federal agency granting the FCL. In reviewing non-majority foreign ownership
8The cognizant security authority must identify KMPs requiring clearance in conjunction with the FCL.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1

or control packages, the DOE cognizant security authority must also identify
information that may be of CI interest.
(1) During FOCI adjudication, the DOE cognizant security authority must
identify and forward any information that may be of CI interest to the
local Office of Counterintelligence (OCI)/Office of Defense Nuclear
Counter Intelligence (ODNCI) for further analysis. The local
OCI/ODNCI must analyze the information and, if applicable, provide the
FOCI DOE cognizant security authority with threat information relevant
to the FOCI case. Local FOCI adjudication is not dependent on and
should not be delayed pending feedback from the local OCI/ODNCI.
However, if the local OCI/ODNCI provides relevant information, the
DOE cognizant security authority must ensure that appropriate security
countermeasures are established at the facility.
(2) For FOCI packages requiring Office of Security adjudication, the DOE
cognizant security authority will forward available CI information (i.e.,
local CI feedback) with the FOCI package. The DOE cognizant security
authority should not delay submission pending local CI feedback. If
additional CI information is expected, that should be noted in the
transmittal to the Office of Security. The Office of Security must
coordinate with the appropriate intelligence agency(ies), and forward
available threat information with the FOCI adjudication through
appropriate program channels to the DOE cognizant security authority.
NOTE: The DOE cognizant security authority is responsible for ensuring
that the periodic CI threat assessment and technology transfer risk
assessment updates are accomplished. These requests must be processed
through the Office of Security.
c. Adverse Determinations.
(1) Each FOCI package must be judged on its own merits, and final
determination remains the responsibility of DOE. Any doubt as to
whether unacceptable FOCI can be effectively mitigated (i.e., whether
affording the applicant access to classified information or matter is clearly
consistent with national security) will be resolved in favor of the national
security.
(2) An applicant that will not implement the security measures determined
necessary by DOE to mitigate its foreign involvement to an acceptable
level is ineligible for an initial FCL (including a FOCI determination).
(3) Suspension, reinstatement, and termination of an FCL due to unacceptable
FOCI are addressed in Section I.

d. Schedule Requirements for Processing Determinations. The following schedule
must be observed in processing FOCI determinations.
(1) Within 15 working days of receipt of a FOCI submission from the
contracting officer, the initial review and verification procedures must be
accomplished.
Section 60
(2) Within an additional 20 working days, one of the following actions must
be taken.
(a) A FOCI determination must be rendered by the DOE cognizant
security authority if FOCI thresholds are not exceeded.
(b) If required, additional information must be requested either
verbally or in writing from the applicant.
(c) The FOCI package, which has been reviewed for completeness,
must be forwarded to the Office of Security if established
thresholds are exceeded. For packages forwarded to the Office of
Security for action, the foregoing schedule must also be observed.
(3) If, for any reason, a FOCI determination has not been rendered within 90
working days of receipt, the following actions must be taken.
(a) The DOE cognizant security authority must either:
1 provide written notification to the submitting contracting
officer regarding the reason for the delay in processing/
completing the submission; or
2 return the submission to the submitting contracting officer
if the contractor has been non-responsive to the DOE
cognizant security authority’s request for additional
information or implementation of required security
measures. The DOE cognizant security authority should
coordinate with the contracting officer for assistance in
obtaining information from an unresponsive applicant.
(b) The Office of Security must either:
1 provide written notification to the DOE cognizant security
authority regarding the reason for the delay in
processing/completing the submission; or
2 return the submission to the DOE cognizant security
authority if the contractor has been non-responsive to the
Office of Security's request for additional information or
implementation of required security measures. The DOE
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
II-6
cognizant security authority must coordinate with the
contracting officer for assistance in obtaining information
from an unresponsive applicant.
e. Notifying the Requesting Contracting Officer. Upon completion of DOE’s
review of the applicant’s FOCI, the DOE cognizant security authority must
provide the contracting officer with written notification as to whether the
contractor’s FOCI will or will not prevent contract award. If the applicant is
granted a FCL, the DOE cognizant security authority must sign and return the
DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the contracting officer. Contract award can be made upon:
(1) receipt of the signed DOE F 470.1 CSCS; and
(2) inclusion, by the contracting officer, of the appropriate DEAR security
clauses in the contract.
6. COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
a. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is an
interagency committee chaired by Treasury under section 721 of the Defense
Production Act. Under the CFIUS voluntary process, potential foreign investors
submit their proposed merger, acquisition, or takeover for review by executive
branch agencies to determine if the President will, as provided by law, disallow
the transaction in the interests of national security. By law, CFIUS must notify
prospective foreign investors of the results of its review within 30 calendar days
of the date of the filing. Therefore, it is imperative that the Department promptly
review all cognizant security authority-referred CFIUS cases and, through
approved channels, inform the CFIUS staff chair of its questions or concerns
within 30 days of the date of the filing (optimally by day 16 of the 30-day review
period).
Section 61
b. If the applicant is a cleared contractor, it is the responsibility of the Federal
agency designated as the applicant’s cognizant security authority9 to do the
following:
(1) identify all classified contracts and all cleared locations and obtain
complete information regarding any contracts requiring access to
proscribed information;
(2) obtain a shareholder agreement, letter of intent, and a revised SF 328
containing information about the acquisition;
9A cleared contractor may hold FCL granted by more than one agency. In those cases, each agency that granted
FCL (based on a FOCI determination rendered by that agency) must fulfill the responsibility listed above.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
II-7
(3) have the contractor submit a proposed plan of action to address the FOCI
issue if the contractor has not already done so; and
(4) through approved appropriate channels, promptly inform those
departments/agencies responsible for the contracts and/or classified
information or matter of the proposed transaction and the FOCI mitigation
method proposed if consummation of the proposed transaction would
require security measures to be imposed.10
c. The CFIUS review and the industrial security review are carried out in two
parallel but separate processes with different time constraints and considerations.
When FOCI mitigation methods are required to resolve the industrial security
concerns of a case under review by CFIUS, ideally there should be an agreement
prior to the 30th day of the CFIUS review. When, however, the overall industrial
security evaluation process is unable to be completed due to the situations listed
below, the situation can be the basis for recommending that the DOE’s position
be an investigation of the proposed transaction by CFIUS to ensure that national
security concerns are protected.
(1) Inability to reach agreement on the FOCI mitigation method, whether
because of rejection of the FOCI mitigation action plan by the parties of
the proposed transaction under CFIUS review or by a Federal agency or
department, and/or failure to attain agreement regarding material terms of
such an arrangement.
(2) Failure by the applicant company to comply with the FOCI reporting
requirements (see Chapter III of this Section).
10 If a National Interest Determination (NID) or Secretarial waiver is required, notification to the department/agency
must include a request asking whether the department/agency will support a NID or Secretarial waiver, as
applicable, based on the proposed FOCI mitigation plan.

CHAPTER III - REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. FOCI CHANGES THAT OCCUR FOLLOWING SUBMISSION OF AN SF 328 AND
BEFORE CONTRACT AWARD. When an applicant has submitted a comprehensive
FOCI package to the contracting officer and changes have occurred in the FOCI of the
company prior to contract award, the applicant must submit an updated SF 328 and
associated documents to the contracting officer.
2. UPDATES. Contractors holding an FCL based upon a favorable FOCI determination
must submit written reports of changed conditions and anticipated changes.
Additionally, contractors are required to submit a new FOCI package at least once every
5 years.
a. Significant Changes. When changes have occurred in the extent and nature of
FOCI that affect the information in an applicant’s most recent FOCI
submission(s), the applicant must provide written notification and supporting
documentation relevant to the changes to the DOE cognizant security authority.
Significant changes that warrant a new FOCI determination include the following:
Section 62
(1) a new threshold or factor exists that did not exist when the previous
determination was made (e.g., a “no” answer changes to “yes”), and any
additional factors associated with the questions on the SF 328;
(2) a previously reported threshold or factor that was favorably adjudicated by
the DOE cognizant security authority has increased to a level requiring a
determination by the Office of Security;
(3) a previously reported financial threshold or factor that was favorably
adjudicated has increased by 5 percent or more; or a shift has occurred of
5 percent or more by country location or end user (i.e., for revenue and/or
net income) or lenders (i.e., indebtedness);
(4) a previously reported foreign ownership threshold or factor that was
favorably adjudicated has increased to the extent that a FOCI mitigation
method or a different FOCI mitigation method is required; and
(5) any changes in ownership or control. Notice of changes includes
ownership or control events that are required to be reported to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Trade
Commission, or the Department of Justice (DOJ). Notification of these
changes must be made to the cognizant security authority no later than 5
working days after the event or action necessitating the notice.
b. Anticipated Changes. Anticipated changes are events that arise when the
contractor or any of its tier parents enters into formal negotiations toward
agreement, and in any event when the parties enter into a written memorandum of
understanding (MOU), or, in the case of financing agreements, when written
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
III-2
application for financing is made. The contractor must provide the DOE
cognizant security authority with written notification of anticipated actions
including, those listed below.
(1) An action to terminate business or operations of the contractor or any of
its parents for any reason; e.g., entering into any transaction of merger,
consolidation, or amalgamation with another company; conveying, selling,
leasing, transferring, or otherwise disposing of all or a substantial part of
its business or assets; making any material change that could have an
adverse effect on the contractor organization's ability to perform its
contractual obligations for DOE or other contractors of DOE.
(2) Legal actions taken to initiate bankruptcy proceedings involving the
contractor organization or any of its tier parents.
(3) Imminent adjudication of or reorganization resulting from bankruptcy
actions involving the contractor organization or any of its tier parents.

non-U.S. citizen(s).
c. Other Reportable Changes.
(1) Any change of operating name or address of the company or any of its
cleared locations. The cognizant security authority must be notified at
least 5 working days prior to the effective date of an address change.
(2) Any change to the information previously submitted for KMP, including,
as appropriate, the names of the individuals they are replacing. In
addition, a statement including the following information must be
provided to the DOE cognizant security authority.
(a) Date and place of birth, social security number, citizenship, and, if
appropriate, personnel security clearance level and issuing agency.
Section 63
(b) Whether they have been excluded from access to classified
information or matter, or SNM.
(c) Whether they have been temporarily excluded from access to
classified information or matter, or SNM pending the granting of
their DOE access authorization.
(d) A new complete listing of KMP need only be submitted at the
discretion of the contractor and/or when requested in writing by
the DOE cognizant security authority.
CANCELE

d. Submission of a New FOCI Package. A new FOCI package must be completed
by the contractor or tier parent and submitted to the DOE cognizant security
authority at least every 5 years or at the request of the cognizant security
authority.
3. ANNUAL CERTIFICATION.
a. Each contractor holding an FCL, based upon a favorable FOCI determination,
must provide written annual (at least every 12 months) certification to the DOE
cognizant security authority acknowledging that:
(1) no significant change has occurred in the extent and nature of FOCI that
would affect the organization's answers to the questions provided in its
SF 328;
(2) no changes have occurred in the organization's ownership or legal entity
name; and
(3) no changes have occurred in the organization's KMP. In addition, when
the contractor's governing body has invoked resolutions to process KMP
for access authorizations and to exclude from the personnel clearance
requirement certain members of its governing body and other officers and
executive personnel, the contractor’s certification must include statements
as to whether:
(a) each of the organization's KMP, required to obtain and retain an
access authorization, continues to hold the required access
authorization;
(b) any changes have occurred in the positions held by any of the
organizations uncleared KMP whereby the duties of such
position(s) require the KMP, to be identified by name, to have
access to classified information or matter, or SNM or to be
involved in the protection of classified information or matter, or
SNM;
(c) the invoked resolutions remain in full force and effect; and
(d) there were any acts of noncompliance with these security
measures, whether inadvertent or intentional, with a description of
steps that were taken to prevent such acts from recurring.
b. Any contractor controlled by a parent organization(s) that has/have been excluded
(by formal resolution) must provide written certification on an annual (at least
every 12 months) basis to the DOE cognizant security authority acknowledging
the continued effectiveness of the resolution. Additionally, the contractor must

would affect the organization's answers to the questions provided in its SF
328;
(2) no changes have occurred in the organization's ownership or legal entity
name;
(3) no changes have occurred in the organization's KMP; and
(4) the exclusionary resolution invoked by the contractor’s tier parent's
governing body remains in full force and effect.
c. Any contractor that has executed a Board Resolution to reduce FOCI in non-
controlling foreign ownership situations (see paragraph 4.a., Chapter IV of this
Section) must provide written certification on an annual (at least every 12
months) basis to its DOE cognizant security authority acknowledging the
continued effectiveness of the resolution.
Section 64
d. At the end of each year of operation, the trustees, proxy holders, or outside
directors, as appropriate, of those organizations operating under a DOE-approved
Voting Trust Agreement, Proxy Agreement, Special Security Agreement, or
Security Control Agreement11 must submit to the DOE cognizant security
authority an annual (at least every 12 months) implementation and compliance
report. The annual implementation and compliance report must include:
(1) a detailed description of the manner in which the company is carrying out
its obligations under the arrangement;
(2) changes to security procedures, implemented or proposed, and the reasons

CHAPTER IV - FOCI MITIGATION ACTION PLANS
1. GENERAL. Foreign investment can play an important role in maintaining the vitality of
the U.S. industrial base. Therefore, it is the policy of the U.S. Government to allow
foreign investment consistent with the U.S. national security interests. The following
FOCI policy for U.S. companies subject to an FCL is intended to facilitate foreign
investment while ensuring that foreign firms cannot undermine U.S. security and export
controls to gain unauthorized access to critical technology, classified information or
matter, or SNM.
2. MITIGATION ACTION PLANS. The affected U.S. organization or its legal
representatives may propose a plan to negate or reduce unacceptable FOCI; however,
DOE reserves the right and has the obligation to impose any security method, safeguard,
or restriction it believes necessary to ensure that unauthorized access to classified
information or matter, or SNM is precluded.
a. In cases where the FOCI stems from foreign ownership, a plan must consist of
one of the methods prescribed in paragraph 3. of this Chapter. Amendments to
purchase and shareholder agreements may also serve to remove or mitigate FOCI
concerns.
b. When factors not related to ownership are present, the plan must provide positive
measures that ensure that the non-U.S. citizen can be effectively denied access to
classified information or matter, or SNM and cannot otherwise adversely affect
performance of classified contracts. Examples of such measures include:
(1) physical or organizational separation of the component performing the
work requiring access authorizations;
(2) modification or termination of agreements with non-U.S. citizens;
(3) diversification or reduction of agreements with non-U.S. citizens;
(4) diversification or reduction of revenue from non-U.S. citizens;
(5) assignment of specific security duties and responsibilities to selected
officials of the organization; and
Section 65
(6) creation of special executive-level committees to consider and oversee
classified information or matter, or SNM.
3. FOREIGN OWNERSHIP.
a. Secretarial Waiver Authority. A contract under a national security program may
not be awarded to an entity controlled by a foreign government if it is necessary
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-2
for the entity to be given access to proscribed information12 unless a waiver has
been granted by the Secretary concerned (i.e., the Secretary of Energy or the
Secretary of Defense).
(1) 10 U.S.C. 2536 (b) (1) (A) allows the Secretary concerned to waive the
prohibition on the award of contracts (including execution of a novation
agreement) set forth in 10 U.S.C. 2536(a), if the Secretary determines that
a waiver is essential to the national security interest of the United States.
Requests for waivers under 10 U.S.C. 2536(b)(1)(A) must include the
following:
(a) identification of the proposed awardee and description of the
control by a foreign government;
(b) description of the procurement and performance requirements;
(c) description of why waiver is essential to the national security
interests of the U.S.;
(d) availability of other U.S. companies with the capacity, capability,
and technical expertise to satisfy acquisition, technology base, or
industrial base requirements and the reasons any such company
should be denied the contract;
(e) description of any alternative methods to accomplish the mission
and the reasons why those alternative methods should not be
utilized.
(2) 10 U.S.C. 2536(b) (1) (B) allows the Secretary of Energy to waive the
prohibition on the award of contracts (including execution of a novation
agreement) set forth in 10 U.S.C. 2536(a) for environmental restoration,
remediation, or waste management contracts at a DOE facility if the
Secretary determines that a waiver will (i) advance the environmental
restoration, remediation, or waste management objectives of DOE and
(ii) will not harm the national security interest of the U.S. Also, the entity
to which the contract is to be awarded is controlled by a foreign
government with which the Secretary has executed an agreement to
exchange Restricted Data (RD) under section 144c. of the Atomic Energy
Act (42 U.S.C. 2164[c]). Requests for waivers under 10 U.S.C.
2536(b)(1)(B) must include the following:
(a) identification of the proposed awardee and description of the
control by a foreign government;
12Proscribed information is defined as Top Secret (TS); communications security (COMSEC) information, except
classified keys used to operate secure telephone units (STU IIIs); Restricted Data/Formerly Restricted Data as
defined in the Atomic Energy Act; special access program (SAP) information; or sensitive compartmented
information (SCI).
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-3
(b) description of the procurement and performance requirements;
(c) description of how the Department’s environmental restoration,
remediation, or waste management objectives will be advanced;
(d) description of why the waiver will not harm the national security
interests of the U.S.;
(e) availability of other U.S. companies with the capacity, capability,
and technical expertise to satisfy acquisition, technology base, or
industrial base requirements and the reasons any such company
should be denied the contract;
Section 66
(f) description of any alternative methods to accomplish the mission
and the reasons why those alternative methods should not be
utilized; and
(g) evidence that the U.S. Federal government and the foreign
government involved have entered into an agreement that
authorizes the exchange of RD under section 144.c. of the Atomic
Energy Act (42 U.S.C. 2164[c]).
If the Secretary decides to grant a waiver under 10 U.S.C. 2536(b) (1) (B)
for an environmental restoration, remediation, or waste management
contract, the Secretary must notify Congress of this decision. The contract
may be awarded or the novation agreement executed only after the end of
a 45-day period, beginning on the date notification is received by the
Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on
National Security.
(3) Proposed Secretarial waivers under 10 U.S.C. 2536(b) must be:
(a) prepared by the contracting officer whose contract is involved;
(b) sponsored by the head of the contracting activity; and
(c) forwarded through the cognizant Departmental element to the
Secretary for approval.
When the proscribed information is under the classification or control
jurisdiction of another agency, the proposed secretarial waiver must be
coordinated with the cognizant Federal agency through the Office of
Security.
b. Controlling Foreign Ownership. A controlling foreign ownership is one in which
a non-U.S. citizen(s) owns a majority of the voting securities of the U.S.
organization or, if less than 50 percent is foreign-owned, it can be reasonably
determined that non-U.S. citizens or their representatives are in a position to
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-4
effectively control the business management of the U.S. organization. Where the
FOCI stems from majority foreign ownership or control, a FOCI mitigation plan
may consist of one of the methods listed below.
(1) Voting Trust Agreement. Under this type of agreement, controlling
foreign shareholders must transfer legal title of their stock to the trustees.
The U.S. organization to be cleared must be organized, structured, and
financed to operate as a viable business entity independent from the
foreign shareholder(s). The Voting Trust Agreement does not impose any
restrictions on the cleared U.S. organization’s eligibility to have access to
classified information or matter or to compete for classified contracts.
The following requirements must be met.
(a) The Voting Trust Agreement must unequivocally provide for the
exercise of all prerogatives of ownership by the trustees with
complete freedom to act independently and without consultation
with, interference by, or influence from foreign shareholders, but
nothing herein prohibits the trustee(s) from consulting with the
foreign shareholders, or vice versa, where otherwise consistent
with U.S. laws, regulations, and the terms of the Voting Trust
Agreement.
(b) There must be at least three trustees. These trustees must become
members of the U.S. organization’s governing body. In addition,
the trustees must meet the following criteria.
1 Be U.S. citizens residing within the limits of the U.S. and
capable of assuming full responsibility for voting the share
and exercising the management prerogatives relating
thereto in such a way as to effectively insulate foreign
shareholder(s) from the cleared U.S. organization.
Section 67
2 Be completely disinterested individuals with no prior
involvement with the cleared U.S. organization, its foreign-
owned tier parent(s), or any of its foreign-owned
affiliate(s). These individuals must be approved by the
Director, Office of Security.
3 Be issued and be able to maintain an access authorization
to the level of the FCL.
4 Be advised by the DOE cognizant security authority of the
duties and their responsibilities on behalf of DOE to
insulate the cleared U.S. organization from the non-U.S.
citizen(s), and indicate, in writing, their willingness to
accept this responsibility.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-5
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Voting Trust Agreement may
limit the trustees by requiring them to obtain approval from the
foreign shareholder(s) with respect to the following:
1 the sale or disposal of the cleared U.S. organization's assets
or a substantial part thereof;
2 pledges, mortgages, or other encumbrances on the capital
stock they hold in trust;
3 corporate mergers, consolidations, or reorganizations;
4 the dissolution of the cleared U.S. organization; and
5 the filing of a bankruptcy petition.
(2) Proxy Agreement. Under this arrangement, the voting rights of shares
owned by controlling foreign shareholders are conveyed to proxy holders
by an irrevocable Proxy Agreement. Legal title to the shares remains with
the non-U.S. citizen(s). All other provisions of the Voting Trust
Agreement, as they apply to trustees, including authorized limitations on
the powers of the trustees, must apply to the proxy holders. The Proxy
Agreement does not impose any restrictions on the cleared U.S.
organization’s eligibility to have access to classified information or matter
or to compete for classified contracts. Conditions for consideration of use
of a Proxy Agreement are the same as required for a Voting Trust
Agreement.
(3) Special Security Agreement. A Special Security Agreement may be
considered when a U.S. organization is effectively owned or controlled by
a non-U.S. citizen and the Federal Government has entered into a general
security agreement with the foreign government involved.
(a) The Special Security Agreement preserves the foreign
shareholder’s right to be represented on the governing body with a
direct voice in the business and management of the company while
denying unauthorized access to classified information or matter, or
SNM by imposing substantial industrial security and export control
measures within an institutionalized set of corporate practices and
procedures. The Special Security Agreement requires the
appointment of one or more outside directors who must be:
1 U.S. citizens residing within the U.S.;
2 completely disinterested individuals with no prior
involvement with the applicant company, the corporate
body with which it is affiliated, or the non-U.S. citizen;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-6
3 approved by the Director, Office of Security; and
4 eligible for access authorization at the level of the FCL.
(b) A company cleared under a Special Security Agreement and its
cleared employees may only be afforded access to proscribed
information with special authorization. This special authorization
must be manifested by a favorable National Interest Determination
(NID) that must be program/project/contract-specific.
Section 68
(4) Security and Export Control Oversight. The Voting Trust Agreement,
Proxy Agreement, and Special Security Agreement, mentioned above in
paragraphs 3.b. (1) through (3), each requires that the following be
established.
(a) Government Security Committee (GSC). As part of FOCI
mitigation plan, the contractor is required to establish a permanent
committee of its governing body, known as the GSC.
1 The GSC normally consists of voting trustees, proxy
holders, or outside directors, as applicable, and those
officers/directors who hold access authorizations (security
clearances). The chairman of the GSC must be a trustee,
proxy holder, or outside director, as applicable.
2 Members of the GSC must ensure that the company
maintains policies and procedures to safeguard export-
controlled information, classified information or matter, or
SNM entrusted to it.
3 The GSC must take the necessary steps to ensure that the
company complies with U.S. export control laws and
regulations and does not take action adverse to its
performance on classified contracts. This must include the
appointment of a technology control officer (TCO) and the
development, approval, and implementation of a
technology control plan (TCP).
4 The facility security officer (FSO) must be the principal
advisor to the GSC and attend GSC meetings. The chair-
man of the GSC must concur with the appointment of
replacement FSOs selected by management. FSO and TCO
functions must be carried out under the authority of the
GSC.
(b) Visitation Approval Procedures. Policies and procedures
governing visits between the foreign shareholder (including its
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-7
affiliates) and the cleared U.S. organization must be developed and
implemented by the GSC. The visitation approval procedures
must be approved by the cognizant Federal agency.
A chronological file of all documentation associated with
meetings, visitations, and communications between the cleared
contractor and the excluded foreign affiliates, together with
appropriate visit approvals or disapprovals and reports, must be
maintained by the FSO for review by the DOE cognizant security
authority during the annual FOCI compliance meeting.
(c) Technology Control Plan. The TCP developed and implemented
by the company must be approved by the Federal agency clearing
the company. The TCP must prescribe all security measures
determined necessary to reasonably prevent the possibility of
inadvertent access by non-U.S. citizen employees and visitors to
information for which they are not authorized. The TCP must also
prescribe measures designed to ensure that access by non-U.S.
citizens is strictly limited to only that specific information for
which appropriate Federal Government disclosure authorization
has been obtained (e.g., an approved export license or Technical
Assistance Agreement). The use of unique badging, escorts,
segregated work areas, security training programs, or other
measures must be documented in the TCP.
(5) National Interest Determination (NID). A special authorization (i.e., a
NID) is required prior to providing proscribed information to a company
cleared under a Special Security Agreement and its cleared employees.
One of the eligibility requirements for clearance under a Special Security
Agreement is that the Federal Government must have entered into a
general security agreement with the foreign government involved. To be
eligible for access to proscribed information, the U.S. Federal Government
and the foreign government involved must have entered into an agreement
that authorizes the exchange of the applicable proscribed information.
Section 69
(a) A NID requires the following:
1 approval by the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, or cognizant
Under Secretary. This approval may not be delegated;
2 preparation and sponsorship of the Contracting Officer;
3 coordination with the DOE cognizant security authority;
4 program/project justification specific to that contract; and

5 compelling evidence that release of proscribed information
under the Special Security Agreement advances the
national security interests of the U.S.
(b) The request for a NID must include the following information:
1 the identification of the proposed awardee and a synopsis
of its foreign ownership (include solicitation and other
reference numbers to identify the action);
2 a general description of the procurement and performance
requirements;
3 the identification of all national security interests involved
and the ways in which award of the contract helps advance
those interests;
4 the availability of any other U.S. company with the
capacity, capability, and technical expertise to satisfy
acquisition, technology base, or industrial base require-
ments and the reasons any such company should be denied
the contract; and
5 a description of any alternate means available to satisfy the
requirement, and the reasons alternative means are not
acceptable.
c. Non-Controlling Foreign Ownership. A non-controlling foreign ownership is one
in which non-U.S. citizen(s) owns less than a majority of the voting securities of
the U.S. organization and/or is not in a position to effectively control the business
management of the U.S. organization. Where the FOCI stems from non-
controlling foreign ownership or control, a FOCI mitigation plan may consist of
one of the methods listed below.
(1) Board Resolution. When a non-U.S. citizen does not own voting stock
sufficient to elect, or otherwise is not entitled to representation on the
applicant company’s governing body, a resolution(s) by the applicant’s
governing body will normally be adequate. The board resolution
acknowledging foreign ownership must:
(a) identify the foreign shareholder and describe the type and number
of foreign-owned shares;
(b) acknowledge the organization’s obligations to comply with all
security program and export control requirements;
CANCELE

(c) certify that non-U.S. citizens will not require, will not have, and
can be effectively precluded from, access to all classified
information or matter, SNM, or hazardous material presenting a
potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat
entrusted to or held by the U.S. organization;
(d) certify that the non-U.S. citizens will not influence the
organization’s performance of contracts requiring access
authorization(s); and
(e) provide for an annual (at least every 12 months) certification to the
DOE cognizant security authority acknowledging the continued
effectiveness of the resolution. In addition, the U.S. organization
will be required to distribute to its directors and its principal
officers copies of such resolutions and report in the corporate
records the completion of such distribution. The U.S. organization
must also ensure that the substance of the resolution(s) adopted by
the governing body is brought to the attention of all of company
personnel possessing or being processed for access authorizations.
Section 70
(2) Security Control Agreement. A Security Control Agreement may be
considered when a U.S. organization is NOT effectively owned or
controlled by a non-U.S. citizen. Contract limitations on access to
classified information or matter, or SNM are not required under this
arrangement. Likewise, there is no requirement that the Federal
Government must have entered into a general security agreement with the
foreign government involved.
(a) For a Security Control Agreement to be used, the following
information must be provided to the DOE cognizant security
authority.
1 Identification of any employees (current and former) of the
non-U.S. citizens involved (including all entities that
control, are under common control with, or are controlled
by the non-U.S. citizens, collectively the “foreign
affiliates”) that will be transferred or become employees of
the applicant seeking FCL.
2 Written documentation certified by an authorized (and
appropriate) official(s) of the former employing
organization(s) that states whether the transferred (or
former) employee of the foreign affiliate has or has not
severed all ties, and/or has or has not been given any
guarantee, written or verbal, regarding re-employment by
the “foreign affiliates.” This requirement only applies to
employees who are U.S. citizens.

(b) The following are also requirements.
1 Appointment of one or more outside Directors who must
meet the eligibility requirements set forth in paragraph 3.b.
(1)(b), above.
2 Establishment of a GSC to oversee classified and export
control matters. See paragraph 3.b. (4)(a) for further
details concerning GSC establishment/responsibilities.
3 Development and implementation of a TCP that must be
approved by the Federal agency clearing the company. See
paragraph 3.b. (4)(c), above, for TCP requirements.
d. Limited FCL.
(1) A limited FCL may be granted to certain contractors who are controlled or
owned by a foreign interest where FOCI mitigation is not able to be
implemented (e.g., sole source). Access limitations are inherent with
granting limited FCLs.
(a) A limited FCL may be granted upon satisfaction of the following
criteria.
1 An agreement authorizing the exchange of the classified
information or matter involved to the country from which
the foreign ownership is derived.
2 Access to classified information or matter will be limited to
performance on a contract, subcontract, or program
involving the government of the country from which
foreign ownership is derived.
3 Release of classified information or matter must be in
conformity with the U.S. national disclosure policy.
(b) A limited FCL may also be granted when the criteria listed in
paragraph 3.d. (1), above, cannot be satisfied, provided there exists
a compelling need to do so consistent with national security
interests.
(2) Each request for clearance under a limited FCL must be accompanied by a
statement of compelling need from the government contracting activity
(GCA). The GCA’s compelling need statement must be signed by the
Departmental element and include the following:
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section H
IV-11
(a) acknowledgment that the company will be under FOCI (i.e., FOCI
will not be mitigated);
(b) acknowledgement that the GCA/Departmental element accept the
risks inherent in the granting of an FCL where FOCI is not
mitigated;
Section 71
(c) a foreign disclosure determination (i.e., basis for determining that
release of classified to the foreign government involved is in
conformity with U.S. national disclosure policy).
4. ANNUAL COMPLIANCE MEETING. Representatives of the DOE cognizant security
authority must meet annually (at least every 12 months) with senior management officials
of organizations operating under a Voting Trust Agreement, Proxy Agreement, Special
Security Agreement, or Security Control Agreement to review the effectiveness of the
pertinent security arrangement and to establish a common understanding of the operating
requirements and how they will be implemented within the cleared organization. For the
DOE cognizant security authority to make an overall evaluation/analysis of the
effectiveness of the security arrangement, the DOE cognizant security authority must
obtain an evaluation, before the annual meeting, from other DOE security authorities
with cognizance over divisions or subsidiaries under the umbrella of the parent/home
office FOCI agreement. Under normal circumstances, the annual meeting should be held
at the cleared facility. These reviews must include an examination of the following
items.
a. Acts of compliance or noncompliance with the approved security arrangement,
standard rules, and applicable laws and regulations.
b. Problems or impediments associated with the practical application or utility of the
security arrangement.
c. Whether security controls, practices, or procedures warrant adjustment.
5. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH MITIGATION PLANS. When the DOE cognizant security
authority determines that a cleared contractor or its tier parent is out of compliance with
the approved FOCI mitigation plan, the DOE cognizant security authority must analyze
and evaluate the overall impact to the protection of security interests. Actions to be taken
by the DOE cognizant security authority include:
a. request for corrective action plan and implementation from the contractor;
b. recommendation to the DOE line management for FCL suspension; and
c. recommendation to DOE line management for FCL termination.
The cognizant contracting officer must be notified of any actions taken.

CHAPTER I - FACILITY CLEARANCE (FCL) PROGRAM
1. GENERAL. The FCL program regulates Department of Energy (DOE) approval of a
facility’s eligibility to access, receive, generate, reproduce, store, transmit, or destroy
classified information or matter, special nuclear material (SNM), other hazardous
material presenting a potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat,
and/or DOE property worth more than $5 million, exclusive of facilities and land values
(hereinafter referred to as security activities). The following delineates the primary
requirements of the FCL program.
Section 74
a. Eligibility Requirements.
(1) A contractor requiring an FCL must be sponsored by:
(a) a Government Contracting Activity (GCA) (i.e., a contracting
officer); or
(b) a cleared contractor acting as the prime contractor for the
uncleared contractor. A contractor cannot sponsor themselves for
an FCL.
(2) The contractor or prospective contractor must meet the following
eligibility requirements prior to being processed for an FCL. The
contractor or prospective contractor must:
(a) need an FCL in connection with a legitimate U.S. Government or
foreign requirement;
(b) be organized under the laws of one of the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, or Puerto Rico and must be located in the U.S. or a U.S.
territorial area or possession;
(c) have a reputation for integrity and lawful conduct in its business
dealings;
(d) not have been barred from participating in U.S. Government
contracts. This includes key management personnel (KMP) on the
contract; and
(e) not be under foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) to a
degree that the granting or continuation of the FCL would be
inconsistent with common defense and national security. This
requirement only applies when the contract awarded or to be
awarded requires access authorizations.
b. An FCL must be granted before any nuclear or other hazardous materials
presenting a potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section I
I-2
classified information or matter; or property protection interests are placed on
premises occupied by the Department or its contractors.
c. The cognizant security authority must establish and maintain FCLs by registering,
updating, suspending, reinstating, and terminating security activities under their
cognizance. Each registered FCL must identify the highest security activity
approved for that facility.
d. The FCL for a prime contractor must include those instances where classified
access will include subcontractors.
e. The Safeguards and Security Information Management System (SSIMS) must be
used by all Departmental Elements to register FCL information for which they
have cognizant security authority, survey cognizance, or registered security
activities.
(1) DOE Form (F) 470.1 Contract Security Classification Specification
(CSCS) is used to register information in SSIMS concerning contract
vehicles (contracts, subcontracts, solicitations, purchase orders, Work for
Others [WFO], leases, Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements [CRADA], etc.) that require access authorizations (personnel
security clearances). If a DD Form 254 has been used by the agency
sponsoring the activity, it can be submitted instead of the DOE F 470.1
CSCS provided it is annotated with the DOE facility code. The DOE F
470.1 and DD Form 254 document specifics concerning each awarded
contract (e.g., statement of work, classification, information pertaining to
supplies, service, and other matters) to be furnished by the contractor to
the government or by the government to the contractor.
(2) DOE F 470.2 “Facility Data and Approval Record” (FDAR) is used to
record approvals, changes, and deletions of DOE Federal and DOE
contractor security facility information.
Section 75
(3) The cognizant security authority and surveying offices, as identified by
DOE line management, must ensure that SSIMS reflects established
facilities and security activities under their jurisdictions by submission of
accurate CSCSs and FDARs.
(4) If more than one Departmental element has a registered security activity at
a facility, the element responsible for the security activity involving the
highest classification level and category is the responsible DOE cognizant
security authority. This responsibility may be delegated, by mutual
agreement, to another Departmental element.
(5) Any change in the responsible DOE cognizant security authority must
include a written transfer of appropriate documentation (e.g., S&S plans;
construction project status; FOCI files).
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section I
I-3
f. Certain company officials must be granted access authorizations in order for a
company to qualify for a FCL involving classified information or matter, or
special nuclear material (SNM). These company officials include the owners,
officers, directors, partners, regents, trustees, or executive personnel (i.e., those
considered KMP).
g. A contractor that will not possess classified information or matter, or SNM at the
contractor’s place of business and will only access such security activities at other
cleared facilities must be cleared as a “non-possessing facility.” A non-possessing
contractor must adhere to the security plans of the facilities where the contractor
is afforded access to classified information or matter, or SNM. In addition, a
separate security plan must be executed to cover the non-possessing contractor’s
security responsibilities.
h. A self-employed individual or consultant who will not retain classified
information or matter at his/her place of business does not require FCL. For
security administration activities, to include the processing for an access
authorization, the consultant will be considered an employee of the facility where
he/she is afforded access to classified information or matter. The consultant and
the cognizant security authority must jointly execute a security plan that sets forth
their respective security responsibilities.
(1) A self-employed individual or consultant who will retain classified
information or matter at their place of business must be processed and
granted an FCL that applies to the premises where the individual or
consultant will store, handle, or process classified information or matter.
i. A contractor granted an FCL by another government agency (OGA) may be
granted a DOE FCL for processing, using, or storing classified information or
matter, based on reciprocity.
j. Verification of the clearance and security capability of an OGA must be based on
written assurance from that agency. No classified information or matter may be
given to the OGA until the OGA has submitted the required verification of its
clearance and security capability and the DOE cognizant security authority has
approved and registered an FCL for the OGA in SSIMS.
2. EXCEPTIONS TO REGISTRATION IN SSIMS. Foreign intelligence information,
sensitive compartmented information (SCI), special access programs (SAPs), and other
sensitive activities requiring special access or procedures associated with receipt, storage,
processing, and/or handling must conform to the applicable protection provisions of
Executive Orders and to applicable Director of Central Intelligence Directives.
Exceptions to the registration requirements are identified below.
Section 76
a. SAPs. SAPs are not registered in SSIMS. SAPS are registered in accordance
with DOE M 470.4-4, Information Security.

FDAR.
c. Cover Operations. Classified activities designated as “cover operations” (i.e.,
activities conducted in secrecy or concealment) are not registered in SSIMS as
security activities (i.e., CSCSs). The cognizant security authority must notify the
appropriate Departmental element before granting the FCL.

CHAPTER II - IMPORTANCE RATINGS
1. FACILITY IMPORTANCE RATINGS. Importance ratings are used to identify the
protection importance of facilities. Each facility’s assigned importance rating must be
recorded on DOE F 470.2, FDAR. Importance rating criteria are as follows.
a. “A” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that meet any of the
following criteria:
(1) engaged in administrative activities considered essential to the direction
and continuity of the overall DOE nuclear weapons program, as
determined by the Departmental element;
(2) authorized to possess Top Secret or possess SAP matter or designated as
Field Intelligence Elements;
(3) authorized to possess Category I quantities of SNM (including facilities
with credible roll-up quantities of SNM to a Category I quantity); or
(4) critical infrastructure programs determined to be essential by DOE line
management.
b. “B” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that meet any of the
following criteria:
(1) engaged in activities other than those categorized as “A” and authorized to
possess Secret (S)/Restricted Data (RD) and/or weapon data matter;
(2) authorized to possess Category II quantities of SNM; or
(3) authorized to possess certain categories of biological agents.
c. “C” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that meet any of the
following criteria:
(1) authorized to possess Categories III and IV quantities of SNM or other
nuclear materials requiring safeguards controls or special accounting
procedures; or
(2) authorized to possess classified information or matter other than the type
categorized for “A” and “B” facilities.
d. “D” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that provide
common carrier, commercial carrier, or mail service and are not authorized to
store classified information or matter, or nuclear material during nonworking
hours. (Carriers who store classified information or matter, or nuclear material
must be assigned an “A,” “B,” or “C” importance rating).

e. “E” (Excluded Parent) Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to a corporate tier
parent (of a contractor organization) that has been barred from participation in the
activities related to a contract with DOE.
f. “PP” (Property Protection) Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those
facilities for which a special standard of protection must be applied. Basic
considerations include physical protection to prevent or deter acts of arson, civil
disorder, riots, sabotage, terrorism, vandalism, and theft or destruction of DOE
property and facilities. These special standards are applied when a facility has:
(1) Government property of a significant monetary value (more than $5
million, exclusive of facilities and land values);
Section 77
(2) nuclear materials requiring safeguards controls or special accounting
procedures other than those categorized as types “A,” “B,” or “C”;
(3) responsibility for DOE program continuity;
(4) national security considerations; or
(5) responsibilities for protection of the health and safety of the public and
employees.
g. “NP” (Non-Possessing) Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities
that have authorized access to classified information or matter, or SNM at other
approved locations. Non-possessing facilities do not themselves possess any
classified information or matter, or SNM.
2. UPGRADING AND DOWNGRADING A FACILITY’S ASSIGNED IMPORTANCE
RATING. As security activities are added or changed, the importance rating of the
approved facility may change (i.e., it may be either upgraded or downgraded).
Upgrading or downgrading a facility importance rating may also require transfer of the
DOE cognizant security authority functions. Changes to the facility importance rating
must be registered in SSIMS by the submission of DOE F 470.2, FDAR. CANCELE

CHAPTER III - ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES AND FCLs
1. FCL FOR SINGLE LEGAL ENTITIES.
a. Single FCL Registration. Only one FCL registration is required if the company
and its classified security activities meet the following criteria.
(1) A centrally directed security program is maintained that covers all security
activities (i.e., under the same name, single mailing address, single
security plan applicable at all locations, and single management control).
(2) The distance between the security activities is such that the contractor is
able to maintain daily supervision of its operations, including day-to-day
observations of the security program.
b. Multiple-Facility Registrations for Multiple-Facility Organizations (MFOs).
(1) When a company is composed of two or more facilities existing as a single
legal entity, the home office facility must have an FCL at the same or
higher level of any cleared facility within an MFO.
(2) When branches, divisions, etc. of an MFO are cleared, the corporate
headquarters must be registered in SSIMS as the home office.
(3) Each separate branch, division, etc., of an MFO performing a security
activity requiring access authorizations must be processed for an FCL and
registered in SSIMS. This FCL registration must reflect the branch or
division location and reference the home office.14
(4) Because branches, divisions, offices, etc., of an MFO are not legally
accountable in their own right, only the home office facility can execute
an agreement/contract with the Government.
(5) A FOCI determination is not required of the subordinate facility of an
MFO. However, a subordinate facility of an MFO must submit a list of its
(not its home office’s) KMP, and the subordinate facility’s KMP must be
cleared (and excluded, if applicable) as required by Chapter V of this
Section.
14 An MFO may implement a consolidated security plan applicable throughout the organization, but the security plan
must then be adapted as necessary to adequately address the requirements of each operating site.

2. PARENT – SUBSIDIARY RELATIONSHIP.
a. In a corporate tier parent-subsidiary relationship, the parent and each of its
subsidiaries are separate legal entities and must be processed separately for an
FCL.
Section 78
(1) Because the parent controls the subsidiary, the general rule in the U.S.
Government is that the parent must have an FCL at the same or higher
level as that of the subsidiary.
(2) Because a subsidiary is legally accountable in its own right, the U.S.
Government can permit the parent to remain uncleared or a subsidiary to
hold an FCL of a higher level than the parent’s.
(3) The DOE cognizant security authority is responsible for determining the
necessity for the parent to be cleared:
(a) at the same level as the subsidiary;
OR
(b) at a lower level than the subsidiary;
OR
(c) excluded from access to all classified information or matter
available to the subsidiary.
(4) The decision to clear or exclude must be based on:
(a) the parent’s requirement for access authorizations to perform tasks
or services essential to the fulfillment of a classified contract; and
(b) the parent’s eligibility for an FCL, including its FOCI status.
Information regarding FOCI negation action plans can be found in
Section H.
b. When, pursuant to paragraph 2.a.(4), above, it is determined that the FOCI for a
parent is acceptable, the parent can be either excluded altogether from the
requirement for an FCL or excluded from higher-level access by virtue of
possessing an FCL at a level below that of the subsidiary. This exclusion must be
based on formal action by the governing bodies of the parent and each intervening
subsidiary level. Compliance with one or both of the exclusion actions listed
below, as applicable, is mandatory before issuance to a subsidiary of an FCL
requiring access authorizations..
(1) Parent Organizations.

CHAPTER IV - INTERIM AND LIMITED FCLs
1. INTERIM FCL. National policy permits the granting of an interim FCL to an eligible
contractor. Interim FCLs are granted on a temporary basis, pending completion of full
investigative requirements (i.e., final access authorization) for those individuals required
to be cleared in connection with the FCL (e.g., KMP). Interim FCLs may be granted
only to avoid unacceptable delays in pre-contract negotiation or in performance on a
contract and after DOE has granted interim access authorizations to facility personnel
requiring interim clearance.
When final access authorizations have been granted to all facility employees, the DOE
cognizant security authority must ensure that final FCL is granted and registered in
SSIMS via an updated DOE F 470.2 FDAR.
When an interim access authorization for an individual (KMP) is withdrawn, the interim
FCL must also be withdrawn unless action is taken to remove the individual from the
position requiring access.
Foreign owned or controlled companies and non-U.S. citizens are not eligible for interim
FCL.
2. LIMITED FCL. See Section H, Chapter IV 3.d.for eligibility criteria, etc., for a limited
FCL.
A limited FCL must be restricted to one security activity involving classified information
or matter, or SNM. Award of another security activity involving classified information
or matter, or SNM requires separate FCL registration (i.e., under an FCL without
restrictions or another limited FCL provided the eligibility criteria set forth in Section H
for such FCL are met).
Issuance of a limited FCL requires that strict access restrictions must be imposed to limit
access to the scope of the contract.
The clearance and exclusion requirements of KMP covered in Chapter V of this Section
apply to all FCLs, including a limited FCL.

CHAPTER V - ACCESS AUTHORIZATIONS AND EXCLUSION PROCEDURES
REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH FCLs
1. ACCESS AUTHORIZATIONS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FCL.
Certain officials (typically the owners, officers, directors, partners, regents, trustees,
and/or executive personnel [KMP]) must be cleared to the level of the FCL and are listed
below by type of organization. Based on their need for access, as determined by the
DOE cognizant security authority, all other KMP must be cleared commensurate with the
FCL level, cleared at a lower level, or excluded from being cleared. KMP exclusion
determinations must be made prior to the granting of the FCL.
a. Sole Proprietorships. The sole proprietor and the facility security officer (FSO)
must be cleared commensurate with the FCL. Any KMP designated to succeed
the sole proprietor or the FSO during permanent or temporary absence must be
cleared commensurate with the FCL.
b. Corporations, Nonprofit Organizations. The senior management official (i.e.,
president or chief executive officer [CEO]), chairman of the board, or (if meetings
of the board of directors are chaired by a pro tem or rotating chairman), any board
members who could serve as board chairman, and the FSO must be cleared
commensurate with the FCL. Any KMP designated to succeed the senior
management official, board chairman, or FSO during permanent or temporary
absence must be cleared commensurate with the FCL.
Section 80
c. Partnerships. The managing partner and the FSO must be cleared commensurate
with the FCL. Any partner designated to succeed the managing partner or the
FSO during permanent or temporary absence must be cleared commensurate with
the FCL.
d. Colleges and Universities. The CEO, chairman of the board, or (if meetings of
the board of regents, trustees, or directors are chaired by a pro tem or rotating
chairman), any board members who could serve as board chairman, and the FSO
must be cleared commensurate with the FCL. Any official or officer designated
to succeed the CEO, board chairman, or FSO during permanent or temporary
absence must be cleared commensurate with the FCL.
2. MFOs. Any of the business structures mentioned above may be configured as an MFO.
Each subordinate facility’s KMP must be cleared or excluded as required by paragraph
1., above. Subordinate facilities of an MFO must not be granted higher FCL or access
authorizations than held by the home office of the MFO.
3. ACCESS AUTHORIZATIONS CONCURRENT WITH THE FCL. Contractors may
designate employees who require access to classified information or matter during the
negotiation of a contract or the preparation of a bid or quotation pertaining to a prime
contract or a subcontract to be processed for access authorizations concurrent with the
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section I
V-2
FCL. The granting of an FCL is not dependent on the access authorization of such
employees.
4. EXCLUSION PROCEDURES. Other officials, as determined by the DOE cognizant
security authority, must be cleared commensurate with the FCL level, cleared at a lower
level, or excluded from being cleared. When other officials are to be excluded from or
cleared at a level not commensurate with the FCL, compliance with one or both of the
exclusion actions listed below is mandatory before issuance of an FCL. When formal
exclusion action is required, the organization’s governing body must affirm the following
items.
a. Such officers, directors, partners, regents, or trustees (designated by name) will
not require, will not have, and can be effectively excluded from access to all
classified information or matter, or nuclear or other hazardous material presenting
a potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat; can be denied
access to higher level classified information or matter (specified by level)
entrusted to or held by the organization; and, do not occupy positions that would
enable them to adversely affect the organization’s policies or practices in the
performance of classified contracts.
(1) This action must be made a matter of record in the minutes of the
governing body.
(2) A copy of the resolution, dated and identified by the name and address of
the facility, must be furnished to the DOE cognizant security authority.

CHAPTER VII - PROCESS FOR FCL AND SECURITY ACTIVITY REGISTRATION
1. ACCEPTING OGA FCLs.
a. Contractor. A contractor with an equal or higher FCL granted by OGAs may be
accepted by DOE for accessing, receiving, generating, reproducing, storing,
transmitting, or destroying classified information or matter, contingent on the
conditions listed below. Reciprocity between DOE and the OGA must be
documented in a written agreement before acceptance of the FCL (i.e., the
requirements identified below must be documented in a letter or memorandum of
agreement [MOA] between the DOE cognizant security authority and the
cognizant OGA).
(1) Classification Level/Category. The FCL granted by the OGA must be at
the appropriate classification level and category and encompass the DOE
activity.
(a) A limited FCL granted by an OGA cannot be accepted.
(b) An interim FCL at the Secret or Confidential level granted by an
OGA cannot be accepted.
(c) An interim Top Secret FCL granted by an OGA may be accepted
once the following have been completed:
1 the DOE cognizant security authority has analyzed the
conditions of the interim FCL and the scope for the DOE
work and determined that the interim FCL status is
acceptable.
2 an interim FCL may be withdrawn if the interim personnel
security clearance for an individual (KMP) is withdrawn.
When an interim personnel clearance is withdrawn, the
interim FCL must also be withdrawn unless action is taken
to remove the individual from the position requiring access.
3 until final FCL has been granted, the interim FCL may not
be eligible for certain categories of classified information
such as weapon data (RD, Formerly Restricted Data
[FRD]), COMSEC, SCI, SAP, or North Atlantic Treaty
Organization [NATO]). The names of each individual
granted temporary access authorization under the interim
FCL are obtained from the OGA and submitted to the
Director, Office of Security.

and reviewing the OGA’s adjudicative files for each
individual granted temporary access, that:
a the investigative standards used by the OGA satisfy
DOE’s requirements; and
b no unfavorable information was developed during
the course of the OGA’s adjudication.
(d) If cleared under a Voting Trust Agreement, Proxy Agreement,
Special Security Agreement, or Security Control Agreement, the
DOE cognizant security authority must obtain a copy of the FOCI
mitigation plan from the cognizant OGA. The mitigation plan
must be submitted for review by the Office of Security. The
Office of Security must either determine that the FOCI mitigation
plan is acceptable or ensure that additional measures required for
the protection of DOE security activities are covered in an
addendum to the agreement. This addendum must be signed by the
Office of Security, the contractor, and its tier parents. Additional
reviews by the Office of Security are required when changes are
made to the mitigation plan. A copy of the signed addendum to
the agreement must be provided to the OGA.
(e) For DOE contracts involving proscribed information, the following
requirements, as appropriate, must be met before accepting an FCL
cleared in conjunction with a special security agreement.
1 When the company is controlled by a foreign government:
Section 83
a the DOE must have entered into an agreement with
the foreign government involved that covers the
proscribed information to be released under the
contract;
b a waiver must be granted by the cognizant Secretary
(i.e., the Secretary of Energy and/or the Secretary of
Defense). This waiver is based on 10 U.S.C.
2536(a) Defense Authorization Act, which prohibits
contract award involving proscribed information to
foreign government-controlled companies; and
c the proposed Secretarial waiver must be prepared
by the cognizant contracting officer, sponsored by
the head of the contracting activity and appropriate
Departmental element, and then forwarded through

b a proposed NID must be prepared by the cognizant
contracting officer, sponsored by the head of the
contracting activity and Departmental element, and
then forwarded through appropriate Department
channels for approval and/or coordination with all
affected agencies.
3 For contracts involving RD/FRD, the additional
requirements set forth below in paragraphs 1.a. (6)(a)-(d)
have been met or addressed, as appropriate.
(2) Notification of Cancellation. An assurance is obtained from the OGA that
the FCL will not be canceled prior to the DOE cognizant security
authority being notified.
(3) Protective Measures. Confirmation is obtained from the OGA that the
facility’s protective measures and procedures are adequate for the
protection of the DOE activity, and results of the agency’s last survey of
the facility are satisfactory in those areas that could affect the DOE
interest.
(4) Surveys. The facility’s survey frequency is confirmed by the OGA, and
assurance is obtained that copies of each of the OGA’s periodic survey
reports or memoranda covering the status of the protection of the DOE
activity will be furnished to the DOE cognizant security authority
following each scheduled survey.
(5) Access Authorizations. Each employee to be granted access to DOE
classified information or matter must have appropriate DOE access
authorization or, at a minimum, a Federal personnel security clearance
equivalent to the required DOE access authorization. Discrepancies must
be reconciled through interagency coordination on a case-by-case basis.

(CFR) Part 1045, Nuclear Classification and Declassification.
(b) When the DOE contract involves RD classified at the Secret level
or above, an assurance is obtained from the OGA that the facility’s
protective measures and procedures meet the requirements of the
supplement to the National Industrial Security Program Operating
Manual (NISPOM).
(c) FCLs not meeting the requirements in (a) and (b) above may be
accepted if the DOE activity requires that the contractor establish
upgraded protective measures that meet DOE requirements. For
FCL upgrades, the agreement between DOE and the OGA must
cover reimbursement for upgrade costs incurred by the OGA or
contractor.
Section 84
(d) When DOE will be accepting an FCL based on a DoD-approved
Voting Trust Agreement, Proxy Agreement, Special Security
Agreement, or Security Control Agreement, an assurance is
obtained from the OGA that it will invite or permit DOE to attend
the annual meeting if such attendance is determined necessary by
either the OGA or DOE.
b. Contractor’s Tier Parent(s). If the parent(s) of a company that DOE is processing
for FCL holds an FCL granted by another Federal agency, the tier parent(s) does
not need to provide DOE with a FOCI package provided the following reciprocity
is accomplished with the OGA. Reciprocity between the DOE cognizant security
authority and the OGA must be documented in a written agreement prior to DOE
granting the subsidiary FCL. The written agreement must contain the
requirements listed below.
(1) Classification Level/Category.
(a) When the FCL granted to a tier parent by an OGA is equal to the
level of FCL required by the subsidiary, an assurance is obtained
from the OGA that the DOE cognizant security authority will be
notified prior to any reduction or increase to the level of the OGA-
issued FCL that would require parent/subsidiary exclusion
resolutions be invoked.
(b) If the FCL granted to a tier parent by an OGA is as an excluded
parent or is lower or higher than the FCL required by the
subsidiary, DOE must have the subsidiary and its tier parent(s)
invoke the required exclusion resolutions.

4. REGISTRATION OF OGA CONTRACTORS IN SSIMS. Classified mail channels must
be registered in SSIMS for an OGA contractor organization where the Department does
not have a contractual interest. To establish an address for the classified mail channel, a
statement of security assurance or a form comparable in content must be completed and
signed by the cognizant security authority and by the authorizing government official for
the OGA contractor.
Once the form is completed, the information must be entered into SSIMS. This process
may only be used when the contractor facility has been approved by another Government
agency and registered in SSIMS. NOTE: such an FCL cannot be used as a basis for
registering additional security activities.
5. REGISTERING WORK FOR OTHERS (WFO) ACTIVITIES. The requirements of
DOE O 481.1C, Work for Others (Non-Department of Energy Funded Work), dated 1-24-
05, must be met before a WFO project or any “out of scope” modifications to existing

(a) When a company with an FCL is determined to be under FOCI that
has not been mitigated, the FCL must be suspended. Contract
performance on activities involving proscribed information may
not continue until the requirements in subparagraph (b) 1 and 2,
below, are met. (See Section H for applicable FOCI
requirements.)
1 When findings or other deficiencies indicate suspension of
an FCL is necessary, the Departmental element, in
coordination with the DOE cognizant security authority,
may suspend the FCL pending validated corrective actions.
2 When a decision is made to suspend the FCL of a company
that has current access to classified information or matter,
or SNM, the following actions must be taken.
a The facility subject to the suspension action must
first be notified in writing that:
i. its FCL has been suspended, including the
reason for the suspension;
ii. award of new classified contracts to the
facility will not be permitted until the
facility has been restored to a fully valid
status; and
iii. termination of FCL may result if the security
issues causing the suspension are not
rectified within a time frame and manner
specified by DOE line management.
b GCAs must make the final decision regarding a
contractor’s continued performance of existing
contracts and possession of classified information
or matter, or SNM associated with those contracts
or otherwise retained under GCA authorizations.
c All affected DOE elements and, if applicable,
separate OGAs must be notified by the DOE
cognizant security authority.
(b) In accordance with the intent of 10 U.S.C. 2536(a), when an

safeguard the classified information or matter associated
with its classified contracts.
(4) Reinstatement of a Suspended FCL. When the conditions that resulted in
the suspension have been resolved in a manner determined acceptable by
DOE line management, the FCL may be reinstated. This reinstatement
must be based on the necessity to complete or continue work associated
with the original FCL. The DOE cognizant security authority must
complete a DOE F 470.2 FDAR and update SSIMS to enact the
reinstatement.
(5) Termination. The DOE cognizant security authority must complete a
termination survey, a DOE F 470.2 FDAR, and update SSIMS to enact the
termination.
(6) Reactivation. Reactivations of terminated FCLs must be based on
programmatic or mission need and the implementation of current security
requirements. The DOE cognizant security authority must validate that all
security requirements have been implemented, complete a DOE F 470.2
FDAR, and update SSIMS to enact the reactivation.
(7) Subcontracts. When a subcontract is established between a DOE prime
contractor and another contractor for work involving access
authorizations, classified information or matter, or nuclear and other
hazardous material presenting a potential radiological, chemical or
biological sabotage threat, the prime contractor is responsible for ensuring
the DOE F 470.2 FDAR is accurate and current. The prime contactor
must submit the request for a subcontractor FCL and associated DOE F
470.2 to the DOE cognizant security authority for action.

7. REGISTRATION OF SECURITY ACTIVITIES. Security activities are specific,
unrelated tasks or contract elements involving security interests at a facility. Security
activities must be registered in association with a specific FCL. The DOE cognizant
security authority must ensure that each security activity is recorded on DOE F 470.1
CSCS and registered in SSIMS. If a DD F 254 has been used by the OGA sponsoring the
activity, it will be annotated with the DOE facility code, if applicable and submitted
instead of the DOE F 470.1 CSCS.
a. Security Activities for Existing FCLs. The DOE cognizant security authority
must perform the following actions.
(1) Determine and validate the security requirements, including access
authorizations, for the proposed security activity.
(2) Determine the FCL status through SSIMS or the DSS/CVA.
(3) Compare the security requirements for the activity to the approved FCL in
the following situations.
(a) When the contractor FCL is granted by an OGA, the requirements
of paragraph 1. of this Chapter must be met.
(b) When the contractor FCL is granted by DOE, the requirements
listed below must be met.
1 The new activity will be protected adequately under the
facility’s existing S&S program as outlined in the facility’s
approved security plan.
2 The existing FCL is compatible with the level and category
of the new security activity.
Section 88
3 The facility holds a composite facility rating of satisfactory
on the basis of the last S&S survey report.
4 If applicable, coordination is accomplished with the
applicable cognizant security agency (i.e., DOE cognizant
security authority and/or OGA) in the manner set forth in
paragraph 1.b. of this Chapter for any tier parent(s) of the
contractor holding a DOE or OGA FCL (i.e., FCL granted
by the agency that rendered the FOCI determination).17
b. Registering New Security Activities.
17 Coordination is required in order to ensure compliance with national requirements (e.g., fulfill the government’s responsibility
to validate and verify the company’s FOCI to determine its initial and continuing eligibility for an FCL, ensure that exclusion
resolutions are invoked when the parent organization either holds no FCL or holds an FCL at a lower level than the subsidiary).

(1) The procurement request originator must prepare a DOE F 470.1 CSCS or
submit a DD F 254 to the DOE contracting official. The DOE contracting
official must forward the completed DOE F 470.1 CSCS or DD F 254 to
the DOE cognizant security authority. Once the DOE F 470.1 CSCS or
DD F 254 has been signed by the DOE cognizant security authority and
returned to the contracting officer, the contract can be awarded.
(2) When a new activity will exceed the current FCL or an FCL does not
exist, the actions required to upgrade the current level or obtain an FCL
must be completed as appropriate (these actions are detailed in paragraph
6. of this Chapter). Upgrading an FCL may also require transfer of DOE
cognizant security authority functions.
c. Changing Security Activity Information. The DOE cognizant security authority
who established the security activity is responsible for updating and changing
security activity information. Changes must be registered in SSIMS through
submission of an updated DOE F 470.1 CSCS or DD F 254.
d. Terminating Security Activities. When a registered security activity is
terminated, the organization that established the security activity must ensure that
all affected access authorizations are terminated and all DOE property, classified
information or matter, and/or nuclear and other hazardous material presenting a
potential radiological, chemical or biological sabotage threat is appropriately
reallocated, disposed of, destroyed, or returned to the appropriate DOE or cleared
DOE contractor organization. A certificate of non-possession must be obtained
from the facility and maintained by the DOE office that established the security
activity. SSIMS must then be updated to reflect the change in status.

(1) Variances. Variances are approved conditions that technically vary from
an Office of Security directive requirement but afford equivalent levels of
protection without compensatory measures.
(a) Approval Process for Variances.
1 Variances Related to Protection of Category I and II
Quantities of Special Nuclear Material (SNM).
a Approval by the Departmental element is required
before implementation of any variance related to
protection of Category I and II quantities of SNM.
Copies of the proposed and approved variance must
be provided to the Office of Security. Additional
requirements for notification are the same as in
paragraphs 2.a. (1)(a) 2 a ,below.
b If the Office of Security disagrees with the variance,
written notification will be made to the
Departmental element and either the Under
Secretary for Nuclear Security or the Under
Secretary for Energy, Science, and Environment, of
the basis for the disagreement.
2 Variances Related to Other S&S Program Directive
Requirements.
a The DOE cognizant security authority may approve
variances. The DOE cognizant security authority
must send a copy of the variance and approval
documentation to the Director, Office of Security;
the appropriate Departmental element; and, for
NNSA facilities, the Associate Administrator for
Defense Nuclear Security, concurrently or as soon
as practical after approval.
b For non-NNSA Headquarters (HQ) elements,
variances may be approved by the cognizant
Departmental element after obtaining the
concurrence of the Director, Office of Security.
c For NNSA Headquarters elements, the cognizant
Deputy Administrator may approve the variance
after obtaining the concurrence of the Associate
Administrator for Defense Nuclear Security, who
CANCELE

must promptly notify the Director, Office of
Security, following approval.
d The Office of Security will notify the responsible
Departmental element in writing of concerns about
the variance.
e The Director, Office of Security, must concur on
variances to national policy requirements, such as
the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) or
the Personnel Security Program.
(b) Duration of Variances. There is no restriction on the length of
time for which a variance can be approved.
(2) Waivers. Waivers are approved nonstandard conditions that deviate from
a Departmental S&S program directive requirement that if uncompensated
would create a potential or real S&S vulnerability. Waivers, therefore,
require implementation of compensatory measures (e.g., additional
resources to implement enhanced protection measures) for the duration of
the waiver.
(a) Approval Process for Waivers.
1 Waivers Related to Protection of Category I and II
Quantities of SNM.
a Approval by the Under Secretary for Nuclear
Security for NNSA sites or the Under Secretary for
Energy, Science, and Environment (ESE) for ESE
sites is required before implementation of any
waiver related to protection of Category I and II
quantities of SNM. Copies of the proposed and
approved waiver must be provided to the Office of
Security. Additionally, the requirements and
notifications in paragraphs 2.a. (2)(a) 2, below a
must be followed. The cognizant security authority
approval is contingent upon:
Section 99
i. The presence of adequate compensatory
measures in place before waiver
implementation; and
ii. The documentation of any appropriate
performance testing/vulnerability
assessments (VAs).

SECTION N - INCIDENTS OF SECURITY CONCERN
1. OBJECTIVES. To set forth requirements for the Department of Energy (DOE) Incidents
of Security Concern Program, including timely identification and notification of,
response to, inquiry into, reporting of, and closure actions for incidents of security
concern.
2. REQUIREMENTS. The broad-based requirements for implementing this Section are
listed below with elaboration provided in associated Chapters. Additionally, there may
be instances where security incidents are required to be reported through other
department reporting systems (e.g., Computer Incident Advisory Capability, Occurrence
Reporting and Processing System).
Section 102
a. Any person who observes, finds, or has knowledge or information about a
potential incident of security concern must immediately report this information to
the facility security officer (FSO) or designee of the facility where the incident
occurred. The FSO or designee must make notifications as specified in Chapter I,
paragraph 3. of this Section.
b. Any person discovering a potential incident of security concern, including one
that involves classified information or matter; special nuclear material (SNM),
including material protected, controlled, and accounted for as SNM; or other
security interests at risk (e.g., interests not properly controlled), must make
reasonable efforts to safeguard the security interests in an appropriate manner.
The individual must also ensure evidence associated with the incident is not
tampered with or destroyed.
c. Any person discovering actual or suspected fraud, waste, or abuse of government
resources must ensure such incidents are reported to the Office of the Inspector
General in accordance with DOE O 221.1, Reporting Fraud, Waste, and Abuse to
the Office of Inspector General, dated 3-22-01.
d. Locally developed procedures must be established, documented, approved by the
Departmental element, and disseminated to ensure the identification, reporting,
root cause analysis, and resolution of incidents of security concern. These
procedures must also identify guidelines for corrective actions and documentation
of time and funds expended on incidents.
e. Inquiries must be conducted to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding
an incident of security concern.
f. Appropriate Federal (to include the Office of Security), State, and local
organizations must be contacted when a violation of law is suspected or
discovered.

CHAPTER I - IDENTIFICATION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. GENERAL.
a. A system of controls and procedures must be developed, approved, implemented,
enforced, and maintained:
(1) to deter, detect, and prevent recurrence of incidents of security concern;
and
(2) for the timely identification and notification of, inquiry into, analysis of,
and reporting of incidents of security concern.
b. Inquiries are used to determine the root causes of and individuals responsible for
incidents of security concern.
c. All discussions and documents associated with an incident of security concern
must be classified or controlled according to current classification or control
guidance and follow procedures contained in appropriate DOE directives.
Section 103
2. INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION AND CATEGORIZATION. DOE uses a graded
approach for identification and categorization of incidents of security concern. This
approach provides a framework for the requirements of reporting time-lines and the level
of detail for inquiries into, and root cause analysis of, specific security incidents. By
establishing a graded approach, line management can effectively allocate the resources
necessary to implement this Section based on the severity of security incidents. The
following paragraphs provide the basis for identification and categorization of incidents
of security concern.
a. Incident Identification. Incidents of security concern are actions, inactions, or
events that have occurred at a site that:
(1) pose threats to national security interests and/or critical DOE assets;
(2) create potentially serious or dangerous security situations;
(3) potentially endanger the health and safety of the workforce or public
(excluding safety-related items);
(4) degrade the effectiveness of the S&S program; or
(5) adversely impact the ability of organizations to protect DOE S&S
interests.
b. Incident Categorization. Incidents of security concern must be categorized in
accordance with their potential to cause serious damage or place S&S interests
and activities at risk. Four categories of security incidents have been established
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section N
I-2
based on the relative severity of the incident. Each of the four categories is
identified by an impact measurement index (IMI) number as follows (from most
severe to least severe): IMI-1, IMI-2, IMI-3, and IMI-4. Each of the four
categories is further sub-divided into specific sub-categories based on the security
topical areas of physical protection, protective force (PF), information security,
personnel security, and nuclear material control and accountability (MC&A). The
categorization of specific security incidents occurs at the time the security
incident is discovered. The categorization of specific security incidents can
change based on information developed during the inquiry into the incident.
c. IMI. The IMI number is used to identify, trend, and evaluate each security
incident or combination of incidents. (Specific information to be used to
categorize incidents of security concern is contained in Table 1 through Table 4;
however, the IMI subcategories contained in these tables are not all inclusive, and
if they overlap, the more stringent reporting category will apply.) The basis for
each IMI category is provided below.
(1) IMI-1. Actions, inactions, or events that pose the most serious threats to
national security interests and/or critical DOE assets, create serious
security situations, or could result in deaths in the workforce or general
public. See Table 1, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 1 (IMI-1).
(2) IMI-2. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to national security
interests and/or critical DOE assets or that potentially create dangerous
situations. See Table 2, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 2 (IMI-2).
(3) IMI-3. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to DOE security
interests or that potentially degrade the overall effectiveness of the
Department’s S&S protection program. See Table 3, Reportable
Categories of Incidents of Security Concern, Impact Measurement Index 3
(IMI-3).
(4) IMI-4. Actions, inactions, or events that could pose threats to DOE by
adversely impacting the ability of organizations to protect DOE S&S
interests. See Table 4, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 4 (IMI-4).

3. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
Section 108
a. 24-hour Determination/Categorization Period. When an incident is suspected to
have occurred, the cognizant security authority at the site/facility where the
incident occurred has 24 hours to examine and document all pertinent facts and
circumstances to determine whether an incident has occurred (see Figure 1,
Incidents of Security Concern). During this period, the suspected incident must
be categorized by an IMI number. If it is determined that an incident of security
concern did not occur, no further action is required.
b. Initial Incident Reporting. Incidents of security concern initial reports for IMI-1,
IMI-2, and IMI-3 (as well as those for IMI-4 involving non-U.S. citizens, per
paragraph 3.d., below) must be sent to the DOE Headquarters (HQ) Operations
Center (OC) using DOE Form (F) 471.1, “Security Incident Notification Report,”
in accordance with locally developed procedures approved by line management.
Initial security incident reports must be forwarded based on the following criteria.
(1) Within 1 hour following categorization for security incidents determined
to be IMI-1 (see Table 1), the cognizant security authority at the
originating site/facility must transmit a DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC.
If a verbal notification of the incident is made to the DOE HQ OC, a
follow-up transmission of the DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC must still
be made.
(2) Within 8 hours following categorization of security incidents determined
to be IMI-2/IMI-3 (see Tables 2 and 3), the cognizant security authority at
the originating site/facility must transmit a DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ
OC. If a verbal notification of the incident is made to the DOE HQ OC, a
follow-up transmission of the DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC must still
be made.
c. Reporting Incidents Receiving Media Attention. In addition to the IMI reporting
time frames, the Office of Security must be notified within 8 hours of any security
incidents that have been or will be reported in the media. The initial DOE F
471.1 and any subsequent updates must clearly identify the fact of media
reporting.
d. Reporting Incidents Associated with Non-U.S. Citizens. Security incidents
having any association with non-U.S. citizens must be clearly identified and
reported on the initial DOE F 471.1 and subsequently in any related update or
follow-on activity pertaining to the incident, including incidents categorized as
IMI-4. For security incidents involving any credible information that a non-U.S.
citizen or an agent of a foreign power is involved, the geographically closest
element of the Office of Counterintelligence (OCI)/Office of Defense Nuclear
Counterintelligence (ODNCI) must be notified.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1 Part 2, Section N
08-26-05
I-9
e. Numbering Incidents and Changing Categories. When the initial incident
notification report (i.e., DOE F 471.1) is transmitted, it must include a local
incident tracking number. All subsequent reports pertaining to a security incident
(e.g., inquiry and other related activities) must be transmitted to the Office of
Security. Changes in IMI categorizations require resubmission of a DOE F 471.1
(or form similar in content) to the Office of Security.
Section 109
f. Reporting Incidents Associated with Sensitive Programs. Only the initial DOE F
471.1 is required for incidents involving activities associated with sensitive
programs. These programs include the Sensitive Compartmented Information
(SCI) Program, Special Access Program (SAP), the Technical Surveillance
Countermeasures (TSCM) Program, the Counterintelligence (CI) Program, or
other programs identified by the Office of Security. All subsequent reporting
must be handled “within channels” until such time as the inquiry report has been
distributed. The date of the inquiry report must be transmitted to the Office of
Security for entry into the Incident Tracking and Analysis Capability database.
g. Closing Inquiries.
(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the
inquiry report. The inquiry report must be completed within 60 working
days of the incident categorization or a status report must be provided in
accordance with paragraph 3.k., below.
(2) IMI-3 incidents are considered closed upon completion of DOE F 5639.3,
“Report of Security Incident/Infraction,” and transmission of the
completed DOE F 5639.3 to the Office of Security. The completion of the
section on assignment and acceptance of security infractions (Part II, DOE
F 5639.3) must be completed as required in local procedures.
(3) IMI-4 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the DOE F
5639.3 in accordance with associated local procedures.
(4) A sanitized (unclassified) copy of the DOE F 5639.3 must be provided to
the responsible personnel security office for placement in the appropriate
personnel security file.
h. Final Inquiry Reports. Inquiry officials must forward final inquiry reports in
accordance with local procedures to line management for action and to the Office
of Security.

i. Office of Security Monthly Incident Summary Report. By the 10th working day
of each month, the Office of Security will e-mail a summary status report of the
previous month’s recorded incidents and inquiries to the cognizant security
authority and Departmental elements.
(1) New closures during the current month and all open incidents will be
reflected in the monthly update.
(2) These monthly updates will be used to ensure the Office of Security and
the cognizant security authority maintains accurate, coordinated, and
reconciled incident/inquiry status information.
j. Status/Summary Reports.
(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2. A monthly status report must be provided to the Office
of Security and the Departmental element for IMI-1 and IMI-2 incidents
that have not been closed within 60 working days of notification of the
incident.
Section 110
(a) Status reports must include as a minimum, the local tracking
number (if applicable), date of incident categorization (not
discovery), completed and planned actions, identification of issues
precluding closure, and estimated date of closure. A copy of the
original DOE F 471.1 (or form similar in content) may be included
also.
(b) Status reports are due by the fifth working day of each month.
(2) IMI-3. Status reports are not required for IMI-3 incidents.
(3) IMI-4. The cognizant security authority at each facility must maintain a
compilation of IMI-4 incidents by month. These monthly summaries,
which must contain the number of open and closed security incidents by
IMI-4 subtopic, the total initiated for the calendar month, and a running
total of open and closed incidents for the calendar year, must be provided
to the Office of Security. If no reportable incidents occurred during the
calendar month, a summary stating “no reportable incidents” must be
forwarded to the Office of Security by the fifth working day of each
month.
k. Separate but Related Reporting.
(1) Occurrence Reporting Processing System. To eliminate reporting
redundancy and centralize the reporting of security-related occurrences,
all occurrences previously reported within the “Group 5—Safeguards and
Security” category once contained in cancelled DOE M 231-.1-2,
Occurrence Reporting and Processing of Operations Information, dated
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1 Part 2, Section N

8-19-03 are now incorporated into this Section. Because an event meets
the criteria for reporting as an incident of security concern does not negate
the responsibility to report it as an occurrence under DOE O 231.1A, chg
1, Environment, Safety, and Health Reporting, dated 6-3-04 (i.e., event
affects both safety and security).
(2) DOE O 151.1B, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, dated
10-29-03. Incidents that are reportable under the provisions of DOE O
151.1B, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, must continue
to be reported in accordance with that Order and this Section.
(3) Flash Reporting. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
“Flash Reporting” procedures are not affected by the requirements in this
Section.
(4) Special Reporting Situations. Under certain circumstances, related
incidents of security concern, that are anticipated to recur over a long
period of time, may be consolidated into a single monthly reports. This
situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis between the cognizant
security authority, the Departmental element, and the Office of Security.
Specific plans for this reporting process must be developed by the
cognizant security authority and submitted through the Departmental
element to the Office of Security.
l. Documenting Corrective Actions. Corrective actions identified in response to an
incident of security concern must be documented. For incidents categorized as
IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of the documentation must be forwarded to the
Office of Security if this information is not included in the inquiry report.
Documentation on corrective actions for IMI-4 incidents does not have to be
forwarded to the Office of Security.
Section 111
m. Reporting to Congress. Section 3150 of the Defense Authorization Act requires
the Secretary of Energy to notify the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and House of Representatives of each “significant nuclear defense
intelligence loss.” A “significant nuclear defense intelligence loss” is defined in
the Defense Authorization Act as “any national security or counterintelligence
failure or compromise of classified information at a facility of the Department or
operated by a contractor of the Department that the Secretary considers likely to
cause significant harm or damage to the national security interest of the United
States.”
(1) The Department regards the loss or compromise (i.e., disclosure of
classified information to unauthorized persons) of Top Secret information;
SCI; SAP information; and Weapon Data Sigmas 1, 2, 14, and 15 as
reportable under Section 3150.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Part 2, Section N
I-14
(2) Within 30 days of discovery of Section 3150 reportable incidents, the
Office of Security, after consultation with the Director, Central
Intelligence, and the Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), must
provide notification to Congress.
4. INQUIRY OFFICIALS.
a. Inquiry officials must conduct inquiries to establish the pertinent facts and
circumstances surrounding incidents of security concern.
b. Inquiry officials may be either Federal or contractor employees but must have
previous investigative experience or Department inquiry training and must be
knowledgeable of appropriate laws, executive orders, Departmental directives,
and/or regulatory requirements.
(1) Contractors may conduct inquiries into incidents of security concern;
however, if a violation of law is determined or suspected or the inquiry
establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a foreign
power is involved, the contractor must stop further inquiry actions and
notify the DOE cognizant security authority, which will assume further
notification and reporting responsibilities, to include coordination with
OCI/ODNCI. In such instances, the contractor must document the known
circumstances surrounding the incident of security concern and submit all
accumulated data to the DOE cognizant security authority.
(2) In all instances where the DOE cognizant security authority disagrees with
the contractor report, the DOE cognizant security authority must assume
supplemental inquiry responsibilities.
(3) When the inquiry into an incident of security concern necessitates
communication with Agencies/organizations external to the Department
(e.g., the U.S. Postal Service, the FBI, or other Federal agencies), a
Federal employee must be responsible for performing all such
communication.
(4) Contact with Federal, State, and local law enforcement officials may be
made by contractors with the written concurrence of the DOE cognizant
security authority and DOE line management.
c. Inquiry officials are not authorized to detain individuals for interviews or obtain
sworn statements; however, they may conduct consensual interviews and obtain
signed statements.
d. Inquiry officials must be appointed in writing by the DOE line management, the
head of the Office of Headquarters Security Operations, or the Office of Security.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1 Part 2, Section N
08-26-05
I-15
e. Inquiry officials are responsible for conducting the inquiry and maintaining
records and documentation associated with the inquiry (e.g., logs of events, notes,
recordings, and statements).
Section 112
f. When inquiry officials discover suspected or confirmed violations of law, they
must immediately notify the Office of Security.
5. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
a. If a violation of law has occurred and the preservation of evidence requires the
immediate notification of Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies (e.g.,
theft of SNM, homicide, assault, location or detonation of an explosive device),
the DOE cognizant security authority must perform all necessary referrals and
notifications, including notification to the Office of Security. The Office of
Security will notify the HQ elements of all referrals to other Federal law
enforcement agencies, including the FBI.
b. Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency personnel requiring access to
limited areas or higher for investigative actions must be escorted, have a current
access authorization passed to DOE, or possess an active DOE access
authorization. Such personnel will be approved for access to classified
information or matter only if they possess the appropriate access authorization,
the matter directly pertains to the investigation, and appropriate programmatic
approvals have been granted if such approvals are required. Access to Restricted
Data (RD) and Formerly Restricted Data (FRD) requires a DOE Q or L or
appropriate personnel security clearance.
c. When authorized and approved Federal, State, or local law enforcement personnel
are given access to classified information, they must be immediately advised of
the classification level and category. They must also be informed of the
protection and control requirements associated with the classified information
they possess.
d. When an inquiry establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a
foreign power is involved, the Office of Security must immediately notify
OCI/ODNCI, which in turn will notify the FBI in accordance with 50 U.S.C.
402a.
e. When an inquiry surrounding an incident of security concern establishes
information indicating that fraud, waste, or abuse has occurred, the Office of the
Inspector General must be notified for information and/or action.
f. The DOE cognizant security authority must make arrangements for the issuance
of standard DOE security badges, the granting of access to classified information,
and any other necessary agreements or items requested or required by Federal,
State, or local law enforcement agencies involved in investigations.

6. CONDUCT OF INQUIRIES.
a. If an incident affects more than one site/facility, the following criteria must be
used in determining the lead organization responsible for conducting the inquiry.
(1) If the sites/facilities fall under the purview of a single DOE cognizant
security authority, that DOE cognizant security authority must assign
responsibility to a lead organization.
(2) If the sites/facilities fall under the purview of multiple DOE cognizant
security authorities, those DOE cognizant security authorities must, by
mutual agreement, decide on a lead organization with responsibility for
the inquiry.
b. The following actions must be taken when conducting inquiries into incidents of
security concern and be reflected in the inquiry report (see Chapter II for
additional requirements).
(1) Data Collection.
(a) Collect all data/information relevant to the incident, such as
operations logs, inventory reports, requisitions, receipts,
photographs, signed statements, etc.
Section 113

necessary, records must be audited for evidence of destruction, transmission, or
other disposition.
b. Ensure a DOE F 5639.2. “Reporting Unaccounted for Documents,” or a form
comparable in content, is completed if classified information or matter is missing.
c. Determine which Departmental element has programmatic responsibility for the
information or whether the information was originated by another Government
agency or foreign government.
d. Determine whether a compromise or potential compromise occurred. If there was
a potential compromise, seek to determine the probability of compromise.
Document the basis for such findings (i.e., potential compromise is defined as an
incident of security concern where circumstances exist that cannot rule out the
compromise of classified information).
e. If an inquiry determines that a compromise or potential compromise has occurred,
document the extent of the dissemination of the classified information and the
actions taken to prevent further dissemination.
f. When an inquiry establishes that classified information has been compromised by
being published in the media, the questions contained in the Department of
Justice (DOJ) Eleven-Point Criteria, which are listed below, must be answered
and coordinated with the Office of Security. When completing the questions,
provide all documentation and appropriate information to support affirmative
responses. Each question must be answered affirmatively before the DOJ will
initiate a formal investigation into the compromise; however, failure to
affirmatively answer all the DOJ criteria does not preclude the DOJ from
pursuing administrative or criminal action.
(1) Could the date and identity of the article or articles disclosing the
classified information be provided?
(2) Could specific statements in the article that are considered classified be
identified? Was the data properly classified?
(3) Is the classified data that was disclosed accurate? If so, provide the name
of the person competent to testify concerning the accuracy.
CANCELE

(4) Did the data come from a specific document, and, if so, what is the origin
of the document and the name of the individual(s) responsible for the
security of the classified data disclosed?
(5) Could the extent and official dissemination of the data be determined?
(6) Has it been determined that the data has not been officially released in the
past?
(7) Has it been determined that prior clearance for publication or release of
the information was not granted by proper authorities?
(8) Does review reveal that educated speculation on the matter cannot be
made from material, background data, or portions thereof which have been
published officially or have previously appeared in the press?
(9) Could the data be made available for the purpose of prosecution? If so,
include the name of the person competent to testify concerning the
classification.
(10) Has it been determined that declassification had not been accomplished
prior to the publication or release of the data?
Section 117
(11) Will disclosure of the classified data have an adverse impact on the
national defense?
2. DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. Damage assessments determine potential damage to
national security when classified information has been compromised or potentially
compromised. Damage assessments are performed to evaluate and document possible
countermeasures and conduct actions to limit potential damage. The Departmental
element must use the damage assessment to determine future courses of action within the
affected program. Additionally, damage assessments are used by appropriate authorities
when criminal prosecution is sought. Classification guidance must be evaluated and
updated, as appropriate, based on damage assessments. Damage assessments must be
conducted when:
a. inquiries disclose evidence that classified information, including Weapon Data
(Sigmas 1, 2, 14, and 15), SCI, or SAP data have been compromised or
potentially compromised;
b. analysis reveals similar information has been compromised frequently or when
the information has been compromised to a wide audience (e.g., public media,
international conference, Internet);
c. a violation of laws appears to have occurred and criminal prosecution is
contemplated; or
d. the Departmental element determines one is necessary.

D
DOE M 470.4-1 Part 2, Section N
08-26-05
II-3
3. CONDUCT OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. The Departmental element with
programmatic responsibility for the compromised or potentially compromised classified
information must designate, in writing, a Federal employee from the DOE cognizant
security authority who will be responsible for conducting the damage assessment. The
Departmental element must also appoint an assessment team consisting of a derivative
classifier and appropriate technical experts (e.g., experts in weapons design, nuclear
policy, material production communications, intelligence, counterintelligence) to assist in
assessing the value of the compromised information to foreign governments and/or
hostile organizations and the impact on the affected program.
4. PROCEDURES. The following damage assessment procedures must be followed.
a. The originator of the compromised information must provide the DOE cognizant
security authority with a copy of the compromised or potentially compromised
information, if available. If no other copy exists, the originator must provide a
detailed description of the compromised information.
b. The originator must coordinate with a derivative classifier to confirm the
classification level and category of the compromised information according to
current classification guidance and policy. The derivative classifier must provide
the basis for the classification determination (i.e., the classification guide used).
c. The team performing the damage assessment must prepare a draft assessment and
coordinate it with the originator of the compromised or potentially compromised
information.
d. The damage assessment must be approved by the Departmental element with
programmatic responsibility for the compromised or potentially compromised
information, and at a minimum, copies will be submitted to the Director, Office of
Security and the DOE cognizant security authority responsible for the inquiry.
The Director, Office of Security will coordinate with the Departmental element
and distribute additional copies as appropriate.
5. CONTENT OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENT REPORTS. Damage assessment reports
must contain the following information.
Section 118
a. Identification of the source, date, and circumstances of the compromise or
potential compromise.
b. Classification of the specific information compromised or potentially
compromised.
c. Description of the specific information compromised or potentially compromised.
d. Analysis and statement of the known or probable damage to national security that
has resulted or may result.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1

e. Analysis and statement of the known or probable impact to the affected program.
f. Assessment of the possible advantage to foreign governments and/or hostile
organizations as a result of the compromise or potential compromise.
Recommendation to the Office of Classification and Information Management
Control regarding whether the classification of specific information should be
modified to minimize or nullify the effects of the reported compromise or
potential compromise, to include downgrading, declassification, or upgrading.
g. Assessment of whether countermeasures are appropriate and feasible to negate or
minimize the effect of the compromise or potential compromise.
h. Assessment of other appropriate corrective actions.
6. COMBINING SIMILAR INCIDENTS. Damage assessments may be completed for a
group of similar incidents when such grouping is a logical method of meeting this
requirement. A logical grouping includes a situation where multiple matters requiring a
damage assessment are related to a programmatic area and would result in the same or
similar damage to national security or advantage to foreign governments and/or hostile
organizations.
7. CASES INVOLVING OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY INFORMATION.
Whenever a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified information of
an other Government agency (OGA), the DOE cognizant security authority responsible
for the inquiry must provide the facts and circumstances that affect the OGA’s
information or interests to the Director, Office of Security. The Director, Office of
Security, must coordinate with the OGA, as appropriate.
8. CASES INVOLVING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. Whenever a
compromise or potential compromise involves the information of a foreign government
that requires protection (e.g., Confidential Foreign Government Information Modified
Handling [C/FGI-Mod]), the DOE cognizant security authority responsible for the
inquiry must provide the facts and circumstances that affect the foreign government’s
information or interests to the Director, Office of Security. The foreign government,
however, will not normally be advised of any Departmental security system
vulnerabilities that allowed or contributed to the compromise or potential compromise.
The Director, Office of Security will coordinate with the Department of State and the
foreign government, as appropriate.
9. JOINT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT WITH ANOTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
Whenever a compromise or potential compromise involves classified information or
interests of more than one Government agency, the following requirements apply:Each
Government agency is responsible for conducting the assessment of damage
resulting from its compromised or potentially compromised information.
b. If a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified information of
DOE and another Government agency, and if more than one damage assessment

is performed, the Departmental element responsible for the Department’s damage
assessment must provide the damage assessment to the Director, Office of
Security, who will coordinate with the OGA.
c. When a joint damage assessment is to be made, the Office of Security will
coordinate assignment of responsibility between the Department and the OGA.
d. If a compromise or potential compromise of Departmental classified information
is the result of actions taken by non-U.S. citizens, foreign government officials,
and/or U.S. nationals employed by international organizations, the Director,
Office of Security, through coordination with OCI/ODNCI, must ensure, through
appropriate intergovernmental liaison channels, that information pertinent to the
assessment is obtained.
e. If a compromise or potential compromise of SCI has occurred, the Director,
Office of Intelligence must consult with the designated representative of the
Director, Central Intelligence and other officials responsible for the information
involved.

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management
This Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) establishes the requirements for Department of
Energy (DOE) contractors, including National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
contractors. Contractors must comply with the requirements listed in the CRD to the extent set
forth in their contracts.
Regardless of the performer of the work, contractors with this CRD incorporated into their
contracts are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CRD. Affected contractors
are also responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD to subcontracts at any tier to
the extent necessary to ensure the contractors’ compliance with the requirements. In so doing,
contractors must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontractors.
That is, contractors will ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with the requirements
of the CRD and incur only those costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct
of competitive business.
A violation of the provisions of this CRD relating to the safeguarding or security of Restricted
Data or other classified information may result in a civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of
section 234B, of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 228b.). The procedures for the
assessment of civil penalties are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 824,
Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties for Classified Information Security
Violations, (10 CFR Part 824).

PART 1 - PLANNING AND EVALUATIONS
SECTION A - SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM PLANNING
1. OBJECTIVE. To establish a standardized approach for protection program planning that
will provide an information baseline for use in integrating Departmental safeguards and
security (S&S) considerations, facilitating management evaluation of program elements,
determining resources for needed improvements, and establishing cost-benefit bases for
analyses and comparisons.
2. REQUIREMENTS. The following are essential elements for planning for S&S
programs.
Section 122
a. S&S Philosophy. S&S interests and activities must be protected from theft,
diversion, terrorist attack, industrial sabotage, radiological sabotage, chemical
sabotage, biological sabotage, espionage, unauthorized access, compromise, and
other acts that may have an adverse impact on national security; the environment;
or pose significant danger to the health and safety of Department of Energy
(DOE) Federal and contractor employees or the public.
b. S&S Management Plan. This Plan must provide a description of the
implementation of S&S policy and provide detailed information on the
assignment of roles, responsibilities, and authorities as well as the development of
budgets and allocation of resources. The Safeguards and Security Management
Plan must be updated annually (at least every 12 months) and must document:
(1) roles, responsibilities, delegations, and authorities for the S&S program;
(2) organizational structure and accountability; and
(3) planning and budget (including personnel resources).
See Appendix 1, S&S Management Plan, for content requirements and suggested
format. However, if a Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual for
S&S has been approved and issued, and it meets the requirements stated above, it
can be used in place of a Safeguards and Security Management Plan.
c. S&S Program Operations. Actions must be taken to ensure an acceptable S&S
program, including curtailment or suspension of operations when such operations
would result in an immediate and unacceptable impact to national security, the
environment, or the health and safety of the public or employees.
(1) Site-Specific Characterization. Protection programs must be tailored to
address specific site characteristics and requirements, current technology,
ongoing programs, and operational needs to achieve acceptable protection
levels that reduce risks in a cost-effective manner.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 1, Section A
2
(2) Threat Policy/Guidance. DOE O 470.3, Design Basis Threat (DBT)
Policy must be used with local threat guidance during the conduct of
vulnerability assessments (VAs) for protection and control program
planning. The DBT must be the baseline threat definition but local threat
guidance may be used to increase the level of threat to be analyzed.
(3) Targeted Protection Strategies.
(a) Strategies for the physical protection of special nuclear materials
(SNM) and vital equipment must incorporate the applicable
contractor requirements established in DOE M 470.4-2, Physical
Protection.
(b) Protection strategies must be implemented as specified in the DBT.
(c) Protection program elements must be designed to prevent and/or
mitigate the consequences of acts of radiological, chemical, or
biological sabotage that would cause unacceptable impact to
national security, the environment, or the health and safety of the
public or employees.
(d) Strategies for the protection and control of classified information
or matter must incorporate the applicable contractor requirements
established in DOE M 470.4-4, Information Security.
(e) Security systems must be used that prevent, detect, or deter
unauthorized access, modification, or loss of classified information
or matter and unclassified controlled information or matter and its
unauthorized removal from a site or facility.
(f) Strategies for the protection of government property not covered
above must reflect a graded approach. DOE offices, facilities, and
property protection areas (PPAs) must meet or exceed General
Services Administration (GSA) minimum security standards.
Section 123
(g) Security countermeasures for explosive threats must address a
range of activities including hand-carried, mailed, and
vehicle-transported devices.
d. Graded Protection. The Department recognizes that risks must be accepted
(i.e., that actions cannot be taken to reduce the potential for or consequences of
all malevolent events to zero); however, an acceptable level of risk must be
determined based on evaluation of a variety of facility-specific goals and
considerations. By a graded approach, the Department intends that the highest
level of protection be given to security interests and activities whose loss, theft,
compromise, and/or unauthorized use would seriously affect the national security,
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 1, Section A
3
the environment, Departmental programs, and/or the health and safety of the
public or employees. Protection of other interests and activities must be graded
accordingly.
e. Risk Management. S&S programs must be based on the results of vulnerability
and risk assessments, the results of which are used to design and provide graded
protection in accordance with an asset’s importance or the impact of its loss,
destruction, or misuse. The results of the assessments, to include the
determination of system effectiveness, are one of the key considerations the
manager must evaluate when establishing the level of risk. For example, if it is
determined that there is high risk that is not being mitigated by compensatory
measures, reporting must be made to the Secretary of Energy or the Deputy
Secretary who can accept high risk. Cognizant Under Secretaries can accept
moderate risk.
(1) Vulnerability and risk assessments must be conducted and documented to
support the identification of risks to be accepted by the Department.
(2) To determine the appropriate level of protection against risk, line
management must consider the threat, the vulnerability of the potential
target, and the potential consequences of an adversarial act.
f. Site-Specific Programs.
(1) S&S programs must address site-specific characteristics.
(2) Performance assurance programs must be developed, managed, and
implemented to ensure that S&S programs and protection program
elements protect security interests and activities.
(3) A management and planning process to achieve integrated, site-specific
protection from unauthorized actions must be implemented. This process
must be based on a graded approach that implements the integrated
concepts of deterrence, prevention, detection, and response.
(4) The DBT must be used as the basis for planning protection programs.
3. PLANNING.
a. S&S plans must be developed for facilities with any of the following S&S
interests:
(1) Category I quantities of SNM or credible roll-up quantities of SNM to a
Category I quantity;
(2) Category II, Category III, or Category IV SNM;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 1, Section A

(3) radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threats;
(4) critical mission disruption threats;
(5) intra/intersite transportation of SNM;
(6) classified information or matter;
(7) facilities engaged in the protection of Government property; and
(8) facilities that the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, or Under Secretaries deem
appropriate.
Section 124
b. Site Safeguards and Security (SSSP). The SSSP is a 5-year master planning
document that must be prepared by the contractor for sites with facilities
described in paragraphs 3.a. (1), (3), (4), or (8) above. The SSSP must depict the
existing condition of site protection programs and when the DBT performance
standard cannot be met, establish improvement priorities and resource
requirements for the necessary improvements. Plan composition is reflected in
Part 1, Section C, 5 of this CRD.
c. Site Security Plan (SSP). At locations where an SSSP is not required because of
the limited scope of interests (i.e., criteria contained in 3.a. (2), (5), (6), or (7)
above, apply), an SSP must be developed by the contractor to describe the
protection program. SSPs must be approved by the local DOE cognizant security
authority. In addition, specialized plans must be developed to address protection
programs for other protection operations. Requirements for specialized plans that
may or may not be components of the SSSP are set forth in other contractor
requirements, including CRDs for other directives.
d. Planning Inputs. The documents listed below must be used to support program
forecasts and information input used in the protection program planning process.
(1) Applicable contractor requirements, including CRDs for other directives,
guidance, and intelligence assessment information developed and
disseminated by line management or the Office of Security.
(2) Programmatic guidance and forecasts of significant changes planned in
site operations as communicated through line management.
(3) Current and projected operational constraints and resources.
(4) Analysis of cost and effectiveness of security technologies versus
traditional protection methodologies.
e. Plan Review and Approval.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1

(1) The SSSP requires approval by DOE line management and concurrence
by the cognizant Head of the Departmental element. Such approval
authority must be formally delegated to line management.
(a) Copies of approved SSSPs must be provided to the Office of
Security for review and comment.
(b) Other security plans may be approved by line management or as
stipulated in the applicable contractor requirements. If approving
authority not otherwise stipulated, these security plans may be
approved by DOE line management.
(2) The SSSP must be submitted to DOE line management within 150 days of
the termination date of data collection and approved within 120 days of
the submittal date. Changes to contractor requirements, facility
reconfiguration, a new VA, or other activities that occur after the stated
effective date will not be considered for purposes of reviewing/approving
the plan.
(3) The SSSP must be reviewed annually (at least every 12 months). Updates
to the SSSP that may significantly alter the agreed-upon protection
philosophy or performance standards of protection systems must be
subjected to the formal VA process, and if changes are shown to
significantly alter system effectiveness performance, the update(s) will be
subject to the same concurrence and approval as stated in paragraph (1),
above, communicated by DOE to the contractor.
(4) An information copy of approved modifications must be provided to the
Office of Security.

SECTION B - SECURITY CONDITIONS
1. OBJECTIVE. To ensure that the Department uniformly meets the requirements of the
Homeland Security Advisory System outlined in Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-3, (HSPD-3), dated 3-11-02, and provides the responses specified in
Presidential Decision Directive 39, U.S. Policy on Counterterrorism (U), dated 6-21-95.
The contractor is responsible for assisting the Department of Energy (DOE) in meeting
its requirements under these documents as outlined in this contractor requirements
document (CRD) and in other contractor requirements documents.
2. THREAT INDICATORS. While the DBT provides specific description of threats that all
components of the safeguards and security (S&S) system must be capable of defeating,
analysis of terrorism should be an ongoing process. Although each analysis relies on
information included in previous assessments, judgments with respect to threats to
Federal and DOE-affiliated personnel, facilities, and assets begin anew with each
analysis.
a. Homeland Security Threat Conditions (known in DOE as Security Condition
[SECONs]) are established based on the analysis of a continuous and timely flow
of integrated all-source threat assessments and reporting provided to Executive
branch decision-makers. A threat indicator is a condition that when present
increases the possibility of a terrorist incident. Seldom does one single indicator
suggest that the threat is imminent, but when a number of indicators are present,
the level of concern should increase correspondingly. A decision on assigning
SECON must integrate a variety of considerations. This integration will rely on
qualitative assessment, not quantitative calculation. Higher SECONs indicate
greater risk of a terrorist act, with risk including both probability and gravity.
Despite best efforts, there can be no guarantee that, at any given SECON, a
terrorist attack will not occur. An initial and important factor is the quality of the
threat information itself. The evaluation of this threat information includes, but is
not limited to, the following factors.
Section 127
(1) To what degree is the threat information credible?
(2) To what degree is the threat information corroborated?
(3) To what degree is the threat specific and/or imminent?
(4) How grave are the potential consequences of the threat?
b. Local and site-specific threat analysis is a dynamic process because the threat and
the countermeasures used to combat the threat are constantly changing. To keep
up with possible changes in the threat, security professionals should develop a
predetermined list of general and specific threat indicators. Threat indicators
should be revised according to site/facility situations and needs. They should be
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment
Part 1, Section B
2
reviewed at least every 6 months or when a significant incident or change in
conditions indicates that the threat level is increasing or decreasing. Examples of
threat indicators that can be used to develop a site/facility-specific assessment are
listed below.
(1) International incidents or indicators against U.S. interests, personnel, or
facilities.
(2) Domestic incidents or indicators against Federal or State interests
countrywide.
(3) Local incidents or indicators directed against Federal or DOE interests.
(4) Specific targeting of DOE-affiliated personnel, facilities, or materials.
3. SECURITY CONDITIONS. The DOE SECON system has been aligned with the
Homeland Security Advisory System.
a. The DOE SECON system describes a progressive level of common sense
protective measures that may be implemented in response to a malevolent or
terrorist threat to any or all DOE-affiliated facilities, assets, and personnel. The
purpose of the SECON system is to establish standardized protective measures for
a wide range of threats and to help disseminate appropriate, timely, and
standardized information for the coordination and support of DOE crisis or
contingency activities. Once a SECON level is declared, the associated protective
measures should be implemented as soon as possible to the extent they apply to
the individual site or facility. Cognizant security authorities must coordinate
SECON status through their DOE points of contact as appropriate and notify the
DOE Headquarters (HQ) Operations Center (OC) and Departmental element of
the site/facility SECON status. Measures associated with each SECON are not
prioritized but should be initiated concurrently when practical.
b. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) facilities must be
prepared to respond to contractor requirements in SECON directives provided by
the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator, NNSA. Non-NNSA
facilities must be prepared to respond to SECON directives provided by the
Under Secretary for Energy, Science and Environment for their individual
facilities. HQ facilities must be prepared to respond to SECON directives
provided by the Director, Office of Security. At their discretion, DOE line
management may increase protection measures for facilities under their
cognizance if they determine that the local threat situation warrants additional
security. In this event, the DOE HQ OC and Departmental element must be
notified of the SECON level. If DOE line management or Departmental elements
believe that their facilities’ SECON levels should be less than those issued by the
Under Secretary for Energy, Science and Environment or the Under Secretary for
CANCELE

Attachment 2
Part 1, Section B

Nuclear Security/Administrator, NNSA, a request for exception must be
submitted for consideration (see paragraph 3.c., below).
c. Any departure from the requirements of this section must be considered an
exception which must be approved in accordance with the requirements set forth
in Section M of this CRD. No exception is permitted to the protective measures
when under SECON 1, Severe Condition (Red).
d. To the extent possible throughout each increase or decrease in SECON, the
cognizant security authority must:
(1) keep employees informed;
(2) coordinate when appropriate with State and local officials’ actions taken
regarding security and emergency planning; and
(3) at each level of SECON, review Security Plans, and vulnerability
assessments (VAs), emergency response procedures, public affairs
guidance and plans, legal authorities, and Continuity of Operations Plans.
e. A record of specific actions taken for each measure must be maintained. A
description of each SECON, including the necessary circumstances for
implementing, the impact on operations, and the purpose of each protective
posture, is outlined below.
(1) SECON 5, LOW CONDITION (GREEN). This condition is declared
when there is a low risk of terrorist attacks. SECON 5, Low Condition
(Green) exists when a general threat of possible malevolent or terrorist
activity exists, but warrants only a routine security posture.
(2) SECON 4, GUARDED CONDITION (BLUE). This condition is
declared when there is a general risk of terrorist attacks. SECON 4,
Guarded Condition (Blue) applies when there is an increased general
threat of possible malevolent or terrorist activity against personnel and
facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable, and
circumstances do not justify full implementation of SECON 3, Elevated
Condition (Yellow) measures. It may be necessary, however, to
implement certain selected measures from higher SECONs to address
intelligence received or to act as a deterrent. All measures selected for use
under SECON 4, Guarded Condition (Blue) must be capable of being
maintained indefinitely.
(a) Measure 1. At regular intervals, warn all personnel to report the
following to security:
1 suspicious personnel, particularly those carrying suitcases
or other containers, or those observing, photographing, or
CANCELE

2 unidentified vehicles parked or operated in a suspicious
manner on or in the vicinity of the site or near site
facilities;
3 abandoned parcels or suitcases; and
4 any other activity considered suspicious.
(b) Measure 2.
1 Ensure that security personnel have immediate access to
building floor plans and emergency/evacuation plans for all
site facilities.
2 Ensure that security personnel are able to seal off an area
immediately.
3 Ensure that key personnel required to implement security
plans are on-call and readily available.
4 Maintain the site Emergency Management Team (EMT) on
2-hour recall.
5 Expand Operations Security measures.
6 Exercise bomb threat procedures.
(c) Measure 3. Secure and seal buildings, rooms, and storage areas
not in regular use. Maintain a list of secured facilities.
(d) Measure 4. Increase unannounced security spot checks (inspection
of personal identification; vehicle registration; and the contents of
vehicles, suitcases, briefcases, and other containers) at access
points for the site and facilities.
Section 129
(e) Measure 5. Reduce the number of access points for vehicles and
personnel to minimum levels consistent with the requirement to
maintain a reasonable flow of traffic.
(f) Measure 6. As a deterrent, randomly apply measures 14, 15, 16,
17, or 18 from SECON 3, Elevated Condition (Yellow) either
individually or in combination.
(g) Measure 7. Review all operations plans, personnel details, and
logistics requirements that pertain to implementing higher
SECONs.

(h) Measure 8. Review security measures for critical/sensitive
personnel (e.g., directors, managers, members of special access/
security programs, etc.) and implement additional measures
warranted by the threat and existing vulnerabilities (e.g., identified
personnel should alter established patterns of behavior when
traveling in public areas).
(i) Measure 9. Increase liaison with local law enforcement,
intelligence community, security agencies, and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, (FBI) to monitor the threat to site personnel and
facilities. Notify local law enforcement agencies and the FBI
concerning SECON 3, Elevated Condition (Yellow) measures that,
if implemented, could affect their operations in the local
community.
(j) Measure 10. Reserve for site/facility use.
(3) SECON 3, ELEVATED CONDITION (YELLOW). A SECON 3,
Elevated Condition (Yellow) is declared when there is a significant risk of
terrorist attack. Elevated Condition (Yellow) applies when an increased
and more predictable threat of malevolent or terrorist activity exists. The
measures in this SECON must be capable of being maintained for lengthy
periods without causing undue hardship, affecting operational capability,
or aggravating relations with the local community. For measures
requiring an increase in the frequency of a specific action, the new
frequency is to be more often than in the lower-level security condition.
In addition to the measures required by SECON 4, Guarded Condition
(Blue), the following measures should be implemented.
(a) Measure 11. Increase the frequency of warnings required by
Measure 1 and inform personnel of additional unclassified threat
information, if available. Encourage increased community security
awareness of suspicious persons, vehicles, and activities.
(b) Measure 12. Maintain EMT personnel on 2-hour recall;
periodically exercise recall to ensure readiness. Keep all other
personnel involved in implementing special response/contingency
plans on call. Identify, contact, and brief specialists that may be
required for unique contingencies; coordinate lines of
communication.
(c) Measure 13. Review provisions of all operations plans and orders
and special operating procedures associated with implementing
SECON 2, High Condition (Orange).

containers, newspaper boxes, crates, etc., at least 30 yards from all
facilities, particularly buildings of a sensitive or prestigious nature.
Identify any areas where an improvised explosive device could be
hidden (i.e., pallet stacks, trash piles, stacked construction
supplies, etc.). If the configuration of the facility or area precludes
implementation of this measure, take appropriate compensatory
measures per local plans (frequent inspection by Explosive
Ordnance Disposal [EOD] teams, if available, controlled access to
parking areas, etc.). Consider centralized parking.
Section 130
(e) Measure 15. Secure, seal, and regularly inspect all buildings,
rooms, and storage areas that can be isolated with minimum site
impact.
(f) Measure 16. At the beginning and end of each work day and at
frequent intervals, inspect the interior and exterior of buildings in
regular use for suspicious activity or unattended packages and for
signs of tampering or indications of unauthorized entry.
(g) Measure 17. Implement screening procedures for all incoming
official mail to identify possible explosive or incendiary devices or
other dangerous material. If available, have EOD-trained teams
inspect suspicious items and screen mail periodically. Provide
guidance concerning suspicious packages. Encourage employees
to inspect their individual mail, report suspicious items to security,
and refrain from handling such items until cleared by the
appropriate authority.
(h) Measure 18. Inspect other deliveries and locally designated
common-use facilities to identify explosives and incendiary,
biological, or chemical devices. Use EOD-trained teams for some
screening inspections when available. Instruct site personnel to
report suspicious packages to security and refrain from handling
them until cleared by the appropriate authority.
(i) Measure 19. Increase both overt and covert security force
surveillance of locally designated soft targets to improve
deterrence and build confidence among site personnel. (Covert
surveillance must comply with DOE directives and appropriate
regulatory restrictions.)

response to the threat. Explain reasons for actions. Implement
procedures to provide periodic updates for these activity
representatives.
(l) Measure 22. Verify the identity of all personnel entering property
protection areas (PPAs) and other sensitive activities specified in
local plans (i.e., inspect identification badges and grant access
based on visual recognition). Use of automated access control
systems at interior security areas is acceptable and encouraged,
where practical.
On a random basis, visually inspect the interior of all vehicles and
the exterior of all suitcases, briefcases, packages, and other
containers. Increase the frequency of detailed vehicle inspections
(trunk, undercarriage, glove boxes, etc.) and the frequency of
detailed inspections of suitcases, briefcases, and other containers.
(m) Measure 23. Increase the frequency of random identity checks
(inspection of security badges and vehicle registration documents)
conducted by security force patrols on the site.

inspect vehicles for suspicious items before entering and driving
them.
(o) Measure 25. Implement additional security measures for
critical/sensitive personnel in accordance with existing plans.
(p) Measure 26. Brief all security force personnel concerning the
threat and policies governing rules of engagement, use of deadly
force, and fresh pursuit. Ensure there is no misunderstanding of
these instructions. Repeat this briefing on a periodic basis.
Section 131
(q) Measure 27. Increase liaison with local police, intelligence,
security agencies, and the FBI to monitor the threat to site
personnel and facilities. Notify local police agencies concerning
SECON 2, High Condition (Orange) or SECON 1, Severe
Condition (Red) measures that, if implemented, could affect their
operations in the local community.
(r) Measure 28. Survey the surrounding area to determine whether
operational activities near the area might create emergencies or
contingencies that could affect the site/facility (e.g., airports,
military/other Government facilities, industrial facilities, railroads

or pipelines, etc.).
(s) Measure 29. Reserve for site/facility use.
(4) SECON 2, HIGH CONDITION (ORANGE). A SECON 2, High
Condition (Orange) is declared when there is a high risk of terrorist
attacks. This condition applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is
received indicating that some form of malevolent or terrorist action
against personnel and facilities is imminent. Implementation of measures
in this security condition for more than a short period probably will create
hardship and affect the routine activities of the site and its personnel. For
measures requiring an increase in the frequency of a specific action, the
new frequency is to be more often than in the lower level SECON. The
following measures should be implemented.
(a) Measure 30. Continue all SECON 4, Guarded Condition (Blue)
and SECON 3, Elevated Condition (Yellow) measures or introduce
those that have not already been implemented.
(b) Measure 31. Recall staff representatives and initiate 24-hour
operation of the EMT. Place the Special Response Team (SRT) on
standby alert. Keep all personnel responsible for implementing
special/response contingency plans at their places of duty. Review
site evacuation plans.
(c) Measure 32. Reduce site access points to the absolute minimum
necessary for continued operation.
(d) Measure 33. Verify the identity of all personnel entering the
site/facilities, including appropriate offsite facilities under DOE
control. Inspect all security badges for tampering. On a random
basis, visually inspect the interior of all vehicles and the exterior of
all suitcases, briefcases, and other containers. Increase the
frequency of detailed vehicle inspections (trunk, undercarriage,
glove compartments, etc.) and the frequency of inspections of
suitcases, briefcases, and other containers.
(e) Measure 34. Implement centralized parking and shuttle bus
service, where required.
(f) Measure 35. Ensure that security personnel have been briefed
concerning policies governing the rules of engagement, use of

(m) Measure 42. Reserve for site/facility use.
(5) SECON 1, SEVERE CONDITION (RED). A SECON 1, Severe
Condition (Red) reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks. This condition
applies in the immediate area where a malevolent or terrorist attack has
occurred that may effect the site or when an attack is initiated on the site.
Implementing SECON 1, Severe Condition (Red) will create hardship and
affect the activities of the site and its personnel. Normally, this SECON is
declared as a localized response. For measures requiring an increase in
the frequency of a specific action, the new frequency is to be more often
than in the lower-level SECON. The following measures should be
implemented.
(a) Measure 43. Continue all previous SECON measures and
introduce those that have not already been implemented.

SECTION C - SITE SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PLANS
Section 133
1. OBJECTIVE. The Site Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP) is a risk management
document that provides summary information used to describe safeguards and security
(S&S) programs and vulnerability and risk assessments at applicable sites. The objective
of this section is to delineate SSSP content and establish a standard approach to
presenting site protection information and vulnerability assessment (VA) results. The
results and conclusions contained in the plan are intended to guide long-term planning for
site S&S operations. This is accomplished during plan development by identifying: key
site protection elements; annually (at least every 12 months) evaluating site protection in
terms of its adequacy to meet continued mission and threat parameters; and, identifying
resource requirements.
2. APPLICATION. The SSSP is used to evaluate site and facility program elements and
resources as they relate to identified threats and risks. The protection measures identified
in approved SSSPs become the basis for executing, and reviewing site protection
programs.
3. SCOPE. The approved SSSP provides assurance that S&S measures address identified
threats and risks. To provide this assurance, the plan must reiterate the assumptions
identified to and agreed upon by line management. These assumptions must include
reference to the contract under which the site is operated and those contractual issues that
may impact S&S, applicable contract requirements, the threat upon which VAs are based,
the methodology used to conduct VAs, deviations and proposed deviations, and any
unique S&S impacting issues and assumptions that were addressed and agreed to by the
responsible parties.
4. PURPOSE. The SSSP describes the graded protection of DOE assets required to be
implemented by line management. The SSSP identifies site risks, cost-benefit analyses,
and comparison of proposed upgrades. The resource plan (RP) must identify near- and
long-term resource requirements needed to ensure the integrity of existing and planned
S&S upgrades. The annual (at least every 12 months) review serves as the basis for
tracking the implementation of protection measures and strategies necessary to maintain
system effectiveness and identifies unfunded requirements.
5. PLAN COMPOSITION. The SSSP includes:
a. references to implementing documents and evidence files;
b. descriptions of site protection strategies, key site S&S programs, approved and
pending deviations, plans and procedures designed to implement, manage and
maintain S&S programs;
c. system effectiveness determinations for the protection of special nuclear material
(SNM), prevention of mitigation of sabotage events, and prevention and/or timely
detection of the loss of classified information or matter based on the status of
CANCELE

performance indicators, such as results of VAs, performance tests, surveys,
inspections, and evaluations of personnel qualifications and training;
d. proposed S&S program upgrades;
e. VA results that support conclusions reported in the SSSP;
f. assumptions used as part of the VA process;
g. threat parameters used for VAs that are described in the current DBT, regional
threat assessments, and impacts made by local area threat assessments, if
applicable;
h. the details of the changes in the protection through the spectrum of SECON (1-5),
to include effects on the calculated baseline system effectiveness;
Section 134
i. a description of the evidence files containing material that supports the VAs; and
j. a RP that describes S&S upgrades programmed for completion, upgrades being
introduced as a result of planned and unplanned site changes impacting the
protection program or deficiencies identified as a result of the annual (at least
every 12 months) review of the SSSP, a description of the funding source to
implement the upgrades, and unfunded requirements.
6. EVIDENCE FILES. Supporting documentation that validates data/information used in
the VA process and in other protection program planning presented in the plan and that
may require corroboration must be available in evidence files. Evidence files must be
maintained to provide VA process and other protection program planning documentation
in a logical and readily retrievable form to validate assumptions, modeling input data, test
results, and other data that may be used to support protection systems design or
conclusions regarding protection effectiveness.
7. DATA COLLECTION. The effective date (snapshot in time) of the data contained in the
SSSP must be specified.
8. FORMAT. Information provided in the SSSP should be brief, accurate, and concise.
Implementing plans and procedures should be referenced in the plan where appropriate.
A brief overview of a plan or procedure is adequate.
Duplication of information should be avoided. Information already included in other
sections of the plan may be referenced or summarized for clarity.
A cover letter must be attached to the plan indicating that the plan has been reviewed,
risks acknowledged and accepted (if appropriate), and signed by line management. For
example, the SSSP should be approved by the Head of the Field Element and submitted
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1

Attachment 2
Part 1, Section C

for concurrence to the Departmental element. If high or marginal risk acceptance is
needed, the correspondence must be routed for signature to the Secretary of Energy or
Deputy Secretary or Under Secretaries, respectively.
The use of charts, plats, graphs, drawings, videos, photographs, and matrixes is
encouraged wherever appropriate to clarify or satisfy the intent of plan objectives.
References to sources of information and the location of supporting documentation
should be provided to assist in verifying information contained in the plan.
The SSSP is divided into 12 chapters. Each chapter provides specific information
relevant to site security. Use of this layout will ensure a uniform SSSP for review and
comment or during an emergency.
a. Chapter 1, Site Description and Mission.
(1) Site Mission Statement. Describe the site mission and how the mission
relates to national security and the health and safety of the public,
employees, and the environment. Describe the major programs or
activities performed at the site in terms of mission and their relationship to
the DOE national security mission.
(2) Site Description and Area Layout. Describe the physical and geographical
area in which the site and the S&S program are located. Provide a map,
photograph, or drawing of the site that identifies locations of Category I
facilities, facilities with credible roll-up of SNM to a Category I quantity,
the central alarm station (CAS) and secondary alarm stations (SAS),
security-related communications facilities, and other facilities of security
interest. Show the location of barriers defining the site protected area
(PA). A small-scale map or drawing should be used to show the
relationship of the site to the surrounding area and be of sufficient detail to
orient the user.
Section 135
(3) Management Organization, Planning Assumptions and Evidence File.
(a) Site Management Organizations. Identify the contract name,
number, and other information that describes the authority under
which the contractor executes management functions. Identify site
contractors responsible for S&S programs and describe their S&S
activities. Provide Federal and contractor organization charts and
identify key positions and the relationships between the
organizations for S&S activities. Provide a list of roles and
responsibilities for key positions. Describe Federal and contractor
involvement in the development of S&S resource requirements.
(b) Management and Planning Assumptions. Describe those
assumptions that were addressed and agreed to during the SSSP
scoping, preparation, or other SSSP management related meetings.

party to the development and review of the SSSP. These
assumptions should address the following issues:
1 site SECON;
2 VA methodology used for insider, neutralization, outsider,
and collusion analyses;
3 identified credible targets;
4 protection strategies;
5 approved compensatory measures; and
6 performance testing conducted or to be conducted.
(c) Evidence Files. Describe and identify the contents, location, and
control mechanisms for the SSSP evidence files. Reference
approved standard operating procedures (SOPs) as applicable.
Supporting documentation that validates data/information used in
the VA process should not be included in the SSSP. However, this
data/documentation should be available in a logical and readily
retrievable arrangement in evidence files, for use in review and
validation of the SSSP.
b. Chapter 2, Site Threat Description and Target Identification.
(1) Threat Description. Establish a graded approach to protection for
Category I SNM and SNM facilities with credible roll-up of SNM to a
Category I quantity and facilities having radiological, biological, or
chemical sabotage event potential and facilities having disruption of
critical mission event potential. Use the DBT as the baseline for threat
determination, along with higher levels of threat dictated by local and
regional threats (when available), and describe the site-specific threats
used as the basis for conducting VAs and for which the protection
program is designed.
(2) Target Identification. Identify, describe, and prioritize targets of security
interest that meet the following criteria.
(a) Category I quantities of SNM and the facilities with credible roll-
up of SNM to a Category I quantity.

SECTION E - VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
1. OBJECTIVE. The Vulnerability Assessment (VA) Program must consider other
programs such as protective force (PF), material control and accountability (MC&A),
emergency operations, safety, maintenance, facility operations, personnel security,
physical protection, and information security.
2. CONDUCTING VAs. The process of conducting a VA includes gathering data that
describe the physical and operational characteristics of a safeguards and security (S&S)
system, assigning values such as delay and detection, and analyzing the results to
determine the relative effectiveness in conjunction with the adversary’s capabilities as
identified in the Design Basis Threat (DBT) and the Adversary Capabilities List (ACL).
Below is a description of the VA process.
a. Assumptions. Assumptions and scoping agreements must be defined. All
assumptions must be documented in the VA report.
b. Threat. The person responsible for the conduct of VAs, hereinafter referred to as
the analyst (see paragraph 9. of this Section), must understand how the DBT
relates to VAs. The analyst performing the VA must apply DOE Headquarters
(HQ), regional and local threat guidance.
(1) DOE HQ Threat.
(a) The DBT must be used to define threat against which VA analysts
evaluate the protection system.
(b) The site’s protective systems must be analyzed against the ACL.
(2) Regional and local threats must be considered during the conduct of VAs.
c. Targets. All security interests whose loss, theft, compromise, and/or unauthorized
use will affect the national security and/or the health and safety of DOE and
contractor employees, the public, the environment, or DOE programs are potential
targets. The analyst must consider target configurations and conditions, as well as
operational conditions and acquisition times.
d. Modeling. Modeling is used to analyze S&S programs, interests, assets, and the
effectiveness of program implementation. Modeling can include computer-based
tools and simulations, table-top analyses, and subject matter expert analyses.
Section E, Appendix 2, Vulnerability Assessment Modeling Tools, lists those
modeling tools approved by DOE. Methods to ensure that the models accurately
reflect the facility posture must be part of the final VA results. The modeling
process must establish critical pathways. The following must be considered:
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 1, Section E

(1) facility characterization;
(2) system effectiveness models and equations must be used. Section E,
Appendix 3, System Performance Effectiveness Equation, delineates the
system effectiveness equation;
(3) response force times;
Section 152
(4) the probability of neutralization (PN) must be calculated using data
available regarding the PF response and their ability to interrupt and
neutralize an adversary. The methods used must be documented and
retained as part of the evidence file. The calculated number for PN must
be derived from more than one source, one of which must be joint tactical
simulation (JTS), joint conflict and tactical simulation (JCATS), or force-
on-force (FoF) exercises;
(5) blast effect modeling must consider blast effects on barrier breaching, a
force multiplier, and target buildings;
(6) table-top methods used to determine system effectiveness must be
documented and a means provided to allow for validation or verification;
(7) radiological sabotage must be fully analyzed against the DBT and ACL.
Existing information from safety analyses can be used but must be
analyzed to consider deliberate rather than accidental release;
(8) chemical and biological sabotage must be analyzed against the DBT and
ACL;
(9) the analysis must use the threshold stated in DOE O 470.3, Design Basis
Threat (DBT) Policy; and
(10) the use of chemical and biological agents must be analyzed as a force
multiplier. Methods of release and mitigation measures must be a part of
the analysis.
e. Performance Testing. If conducted, the results of the following tests (including
validations) must be considered in determining system effectiveness:
(1) FoF exercises;
(2) limited scope performance tests (LSPTs);
(3) alarm response and assessment performance tests (ARAPTs);
(4) breaching test data;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 1, Section E

(5) critical system element tests.
f. Results. The results of VAs indicate PE. The VA results must be used for
determining:
(1) protection system effectiveness reporting;
(2) S&S upgrades;
(3) manning/armament levels for the PF;
(4) justifications for waivers of and exceptions to S&S policy.
g. VA Practitioner Training. VA practitioners must successfully complete VA
program training within 2 years (24 months) of appointment. This requirement
can be met through the National Training Center (NTC).
3. QUALITY ASSURANCE. The analyst must verify the data used for the analyses. These
data include:
a. modeling data to include detection, assessment, delay, interruption, neutralization,
PF response times, etc.;
b. all facility modeling characterization direct settings, rationales, and
documentation;
c. performance test results and documentation; and
d. sensitivity analyses such as single point failure and critical system element
analyses.
4. VA DOCUMENTATION. All information used to support or document VAs must be
maintained and made available upon request. Examples include:
a. modeling inputs;
b. PF response;
c. adversary capabilities;
d. blast effects;
e. sabotage data;
f. timeline data; and
g. neutralization data.

5. ASSIGNING FIGURES OF MERIT. “Figures of merit” is defined as numerical values
and/or qualitative ranges assigned to component systems and personnel associated with
the protection system. Collectively the qualitative and/or quantitative measures provide
the basis for determining system effectiveness. Approved reference materials must be
used to provide initial data and to calculate accurate detection and delay numbers. A list
of approved references is provided in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program
References. Reference materials are to be used only as a basis for the relative figures of
merit. Non-default figures of merit must be documented and based on performance
testing or engineering studies.
Section 153
6. CRITICAL SYSTEM ELEMENTS. Critical system elements are components or
subcomponents of an S&S protection system that directly affects the ability of the system
to perform a required function. Critical system elements may be equipment, procedures,
or personnel. Failure of a critical system element would result in the protection system
effectiveness of the target being reduced to levels requiring management action. Critical
system elements must be:
a. identified for every target that requires a VA;
b. specifically delineated such that specific performance tests can be performed to
determine the ability of the protection measures to perform their intended
function; and
c. tested, documented, and the results analyzed to validate element effectiveness.
7. VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT REPORTS (VARs). VARs document the results of
a VA. VARs must include targets analyzed, methodology used, system effectiveness
results, parameters and assumptions under which the VA was conducted, and reference to
evidence files. VARs published in support of an SSSP should conform to the suggested
format given in Section E, Appendix 4, Suggested Vulnerability Assessment Report
Format. The approval chain for VARs is below.
a. The analyst responsible for the VA must sign the report.
b. Line management responsible for the Facility/Site VA program must approve the
report.
c. DOE line management responsible for the VA program must concur with the
report.
d. The DOE cognizant security authority must concur with the report.
8. SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS. Only the Secretary of Energy or the Deputy Secretary can
accept low protection system effectiveness that results in high risk. Cognizant Under
Secretaries can accept marginal protection system effectiveness that results in moderate

risk. If the results of a VA, survey, self-assessment, audit, or inspection conducted by the
cognizant security authority, Departmental element, Office of Security, or Office of
Independent Oversight and Performance Assurance indicate a decreased (low or
marginal) protection system effectiveness that is not mitigated by compensatory
measures based upon a risk management determination (see Section A, 2.e.), the
following actions must be initiated.

APPENDIX 3 - SYSTEM PERFORMANCE EFFECTIVENESS EQUATION
The methodology requires the determination of the probability of sensing, probability of
assessment, and probability of detection at each layer. These are then combined to determine the
contribution to overall system effectiveness represented by each layer. Mathematically, this can
be expressed as the equation:
PEL = PIL x PNL = PDL * PNL = PAL * PSL * PNL
Where:
PEL is the system effectiveness contribution for layer L;
PIL – Probability of Interruption given first detection at layer L, PIL = PDL if detection on
layer L is timely, and is equal to 0 (PIL = 0) if detection is not timely;
PDL – Probability of Detection at layer L, PDL = PSL x PAL on layer L. PDL is the
probability of first detection at layer L, given that detection has not occurred at an earlier
layer, multiplied by the probability of sensing at an earlier layer, multiplied by the
probability of sensing at layer L (PSL) and the probability of assessment at layer L (PAL);
PSL – Probability of Sensing on layer L;
PAL – Probability of Assessment on layer L; and
PNL – Probability of Neutralization given first detection at layer L.
L is defined as the number of detection layers in the system before the critical detection
point (CDP) in the adversary path(s). Detection after the CDP cannot not be counted.
Section 155
PE is defined as the system effectiveness of the layer. The system effectiveness of the
layer is the product of the probability of interruption of the layer and the probability of
neutralization given that detection occurred at that layer (PI x PN). The probability of
neutralization is determined discretely for each layer given detection at the layer. The
neutralization determination is made if detection (regardless of the extent) takes place at
the layer in question. Neutralization will occur sometime past the detection point and
would be valid for the probability of neutralization of that specific layer.
PD of the layer is defined as the product of the probability of sensing and the probability
of assessment of the layer (PS x PA). Note that detection and assessment will be different
between the elements of the layer and between layers.
PIL of the layer is defined as PIL = PDL if detection on layer L is timely, and is equal to 0
(PIL = 0) if detection is not timely.

For those protection systems based on sensing, assessment, detection, interruption, and active
neutralization of an adversary, credit can only be taken up to the “point on the pathway” at which
the total of the adversary task time, engagement times, and delay times exceeds the protective
force response times. This limiting criterion eliminates credit being taken for protection system
capabilities that are not engaged prior to the adversary completing their objective. For denial
based protection systems, the “point on the pathway” is the critical detection point. The critical
detection point is defined as the point at which the protective force must have timely detection,
assessment, and response to initiate a response to have a high probability of success in the
neutralization of the adversary or denial of the adversary’s task/objective. Therefore, for a
facility employing multiple, complementary layers of protection, the representative total
protection system effectiveness is calculated up to the point at which the protection systems can
still effectively engage an adversary prior to completion of the objective.
The contributions of each layer along the adversary pathway are then combined to determine the
overall system effectiveness, where the overall system effectiveness is provided by the sum of
the contributions of each layer (only those encountered along the adversary pathway) to the
system effectiveness.
An example of the system effectiveness equations for a three-layer system protecting SNM
would be as follows:
In extended notation, the Overall System Effectiveness is:
PE = (PA1 x PS1 x PN1) + [(1 – (PA1 x PS1)) x (PA2 x PS2 x PN2)] + {(1 – ((PA1 x PS1) + [(1 –
(PA1 x PS1)) x (PA2 x PS2)])) x (PA3 x PS3 x PN3)}
Which reduces to:
PE = (PD1 x PN1) + [(1 – PD1) x (PD2 x PN2)] + {(1 – (PD1 + [(1 – PD1) x PD2])) x (PD3 x PN3)},
and since PIL = PDL when detection is timely,
PE = (PI1 x PN1) + [(1 – PI1) x (PI2 x PN2)] + {(1 – (PI1 + [(1 – PI1) x PI2])) x (PI3 x PN3)}
PE = PE1 + [(1 – PI1) x PE2] + {(1 – (PI1 + [(1 – PI1) x PI2])) x PE3)}

SECTION F - PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE PROGRAM
1. OBJECTIVE. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the protection provided Departmental
safeguards and security (S&S) interests by systematically evaluating all protection
program essential elements.
2. REQUIREMENTS. Each performance assurance program must be developed to validate
the performance of all essential S&S protection elements.
a. Operability and Effectiveness. Performance assurance programs must provide for
operability and effectiveness testing of each protection program essential element
or component.
(1) Operability tests provide measures of integrity and must check the
essential elements or total system to confirm operability.
(2) Performance tests provide comprehensive assurance that protection
program elements are performing as designed and provide the required
levels of protection.
(a) Performance tests results are used to validate the effectiveness of
all elements of a layered S&S system.
(b) Performance tests are not substitutes for compliance with
requirements.
b. Continuity. Performance assurance programs must evaluate operational
continuity of all S&S essential elements. Limited scope performance tests
(LSPTs) and/or force-on-force (FoF) tests may be used as a means of meeting
specific performance assurance testing requirements. Performance assurance
programs require that:
(1) new protection program essential elements and components must be
validated through acceptance testing before operational use;
(2) essential elements that have been repaired or undergone maintenance must
be validated through testing before use;
(3) the protective force (PF) is performance tested to ensure that approved
protection strategies of denial, containment, recapture, recovery, and
pursuit can be accomplished; and
(4) the essential elements of the protection program security systems and
subsystems are performance tested to ensure that system detection,
assessment, and response to alarms and adversarial actions meet stated
requirements.

c. Reliability. Each essential element whose failure would reduce protection to an
unacceptable level must be tested at frequencies that provide high assurance of
operability and reliability.
Section 157
(1) Testing frequencies must reflect site-specific conditions and operational
needs.
(2) Testing frequencies must be documented for each essential element.
d. Performance Tests. At least every 365 days, an integrated performance test
encompassing all essential protection elements associated with a comprehensive
site or facility threat scenario must be conducted to evaluate the overall facility
S&S effectiveness.
(1) Those Category I facilities requiring denial protection strategies must
conduct integrated performance testing on a quarterly (at least every 3
months) basis.
OR
(2) Those sites with multiple Category I facilities requiring denial protection
strategies may rotate quarterly performance testing so that at least one
facility is tested on a quarterly basis (at least every 3 months). However,
an integrated performance test for all Category I facilities must occur at
least once every 365 days.
e. Documentation.
(1) Performance Assurance Program Plan. This plan must be an integral part
of the site safeguards and security plan (SSSP)/site security plan (SSP), or
material control and accountability (MC&A) plan, as applicable. The
performance assurance program plan must describe the program and its
administration and implementation by:
(a) identifying protection elements for the protection of Category I and
II special nuclear material (SNM) and Top Secret matter;
(b) describing how the performance of these elements is to be ensured,
including the manner in which credit is taken for activities
performed by external oversight organizations; and
(c) addressing how deficiencies identified during performance
assurance activities are to be corrected.

implementation activities, including allocation of resources, acceptance of risk,
and mitigation of vulnerabilities. The results must provide a compliance- and
performance-based documented evaluation of the S&S program.
c. Identify S&S program strengths and weaknesses, develop and complete a process
improvement schedule, and use the results to correct and improve the overall S&S
program.
d. Provide documentation of oversight and assessment activities.
2. REQUIREMENTS. Surveys are conducted by the DOE cognizant security authority.
The requirements pertaining to surveys are provided for informational purposes only.
a. Types and Frequencies of Surveys and Assessments.
(1) Initial Surveys. Initial surveys must be conducted at facilities where there
will be a facility clearance established for a facility with an importance
rating of: A, B, C, or PP (see Section I, Chapter II of this CRD). Survey
activities must be comprehensive and result in a satisfactory composite
rating prior to a facility clearance (FCL) being granted.
Section 158
(2) Periodic Surveys. Periodic surveys are conducted for all facilities and
must cover all applicable topics to ensure survey program objectives are
met. The periodic survey may be composed of multiple special survey
reports providing all the requirements of this Section are met. Integration
of internal and external reports including quality assurance, property
appraisals, performance assurance, and other evaluation reports may be
used to augment the requirement for a periodic survey.
(a) Facilities with importance ratings of A, B, or C must be surveyed
once every 12 months (with the exception of Category IV SNM
only facilities – see [c] below).
(b) Facilities with an importance rating of PP must be surveyed once
every 24 months.

(c) For facilities with Category IV special nuclear material (SNM) and
nuclear material, including source material, the nuclear material
control and accountability (NMC&A) topical area must be
surveyed at least every 24 months.
(d) Facilities with importance ratings of D, NP, or E do not require
surveys but do require periodic reviews, see (5) below.
(3) Special Surveys. Special surveys may be conducted at facilities for
specific limited purposes. Examples include extended survey activities,
technical security activities, “for cause” reviews, line management
direction, shipment of nuclear and/or classified information or matter, or a
change in the contractor operating a Government-owned facility.
(4) Termination Surveys. Termination surveys must be conducted to verify
the termination of Departmental activities and appropriate disposition of
S&S interests. Examples of survey activities include: the appropriate
disposition, destruction, or return of classified information or matter,
SNM, hazardous material, property, security badge retrieval, debriefings,
and verification of the termination or transfer of Department of Energy
(DOE) access authorizations.
(a) Onsite termination surveys must be conducted at facilities
possessing Top Secret matter, sensitive compartmented
information (SCI)/special access program (SAP) information or
matter, or SNM.
(b) Onsite or correspondence termination surveys must be
accomplished for all other possessing facilities.
(5) Periodic Reviews. A documented review of entities (D, NP, and E
facilities) such as subcontractors, consultants, and common carriers must
be performed by the DOE cognizant security authority at least every 5
years.
(6) Self-Assessments. Contractors must conduct self-assessments between
periodic surveys conducted by the cognizant security authority and
include all applicable facility S&S program elements. The self-
assessment must ensure the S&S objectives are met (see paragraph 1.
above). NOTE: NP facilities are not required to conduct self-
assessments. However, sponsoring organizations (Federal or contractor)
must include in their self-assessments a thorough review of their

registration program for NP facilities which may result in a program
review of identified subcontractors.
(7) Reviews or Inspections by Other DOE Elements or OGAs.
Reviews/inspections conducted by other DOE elements (including site
quality assurance programs) or OGAs may be used to meet survey
requirements. When using reviews/inspections conducted by other
organizations to meet the requirements of the survey, these guidelines
must be followed.
Section 159
(a) The review/inspection must have been conducted within the survey
period.
(b) Applicable portions of the review/inspection must be attached to
the survey report.
(c) Portions of topical and subtopical areas not covered by the
review/inspection must be surveyed.
(d) If ratings were not assigned during the review/inspection, the
surveying office must analyze the impact of any deficiencies and
assign ratings.
(8) Extension of Frequency. The results of previous surveys may affect the
frequency of future surveys. Contractors may request that the interval
between periodic surveys be increased up to 24 months by the DOE
cognizant security authority. Documentation of the justification for
increases in the interval of periodic surveys must be maintained by the
DOE cognizant security authority.
(a) The following conditions must be met for extensions:
1 the facility was rated satisfactory during the most recent
survey activity;
2 the facility has no unmitigated deficiencies that impact the
security posture of the facility, and all applicable topical
area ratings are satisfactory from the previous survey; and
3 all applicable topical area ratings from the most recent self-
assessment are satisfactory, and the DOE cognizant
security authority concurs with the ratings.

(b) Increasing the interval between surveys for a facility possessing
Category I SNM or credible roll-up to Category I SNM must be
approved, in writing, by the Associate Administrator for Defense
Nuclear Security or the Under Secretary for Energy, Science, and
Environment.
(c) All modifications to survey frequency requirements must be
documented in the Safeguards and Security Information
Management System (SSIMS).
b. Scope and Methodologies. Surveys and self-assessments must provide an
integrated evaluation of all topical and subtopical areas to determine the overall
status of the S&S program and ensure the objectives of this Section are met (see
paragraph 1., above). The integrated evaluation is a comprehensive synergistic
approach using multiple S&S program elements that ensures total system
effectiveness and, if properly implemented, will meet the objectives identified in
paragraph 1., above. The scope of these activities and the methods used must
include those listed below.
(1) Compliance. Compliance reflects the status of the S&S program as
measured against implementation of applicable Federal statutes,
regulations, policies approved site safeguards and security plans
(SSSPs)/site security plans (SSPs), and other approved security plans.
(2) Performance. Performance indicates the degree to which the elements of
the S&S program meet protection objectives based on the operational
testing of program elements.
(3) Comprehensiveness. Comprehensiveness identifies the breadth of
protection afforded all activities and interests within a facility. This is
accomplished by an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of
programs and a thorough examination of the implementation of policies,
practices, and procedures to ensure compliance and performance. All
applicable topical areas identified on DOE Form (F) 470.8,
“Survey/Inspection Report” Form must be evaluated.
(4) Other. The scope of special and termination surveys is determined by the
DOE cognizant security authority in coordination with the surveying
office. Determinations of survey scope are predicated on the nature or
status of operations at the facility, activity, or element being surveyed.
These surveys may not cover all topical areas identified on DOE F 470.8.

Procedures must ensure completion of the objectives contained in paragraph 1., above
and must include the requirements listed below.
a. Team Composition. Contractor line management must determine that contractor
survey and self-assessment team members possess qualifications, experience, and
training sufficient to review and inspect the topical/subtopical areas of the
survey/self-assessment. The National Training Center (NTC) provides training
courses for survey/self-assessment team leaders and team members.
b. Planning, Scheduling, and Integration. Surveys and self-assessments must be
planned, scheduled, and conducted in an integrated manner to achieve the
objectives identified in paragraph 1., above. If topical and subtopical area
evaluations are performed separately, the surveying office must document and
integrate the results of each into a single (periodic) survey report that includes a
composite facility rating. The frequency between topical and subtopical areas
cannot exceed the frequency for the single (periodic) survey.
c. Validation. Results must be validated by methods including, but not limited to,
document review, performance testing, and interview analyses and observations.
d. Exit Briefing. An exit briefing must be conducted with the surveyed or assessed
organization to include the minimum facts:
(1) program strengths and weaknesses, including all findings;
(2) corrective action reporting requirements for all open findings, regardless
of source; and
(3) topical and composite ratings. For less than satisfactory ratings, the
communication of the composite rating initiates the actions required in
paragraph 8. of this Section.
4. FINDINGS.
a. Identification and Documentation. Findings are any validated program deficiency
(failure to meet a performance or compliance requirement) regardless of source.
Findings may be reflected in documents resulting from internal and external
reviews, audits, appraisals, and other sources (e.g., Office of Independent
Assessment and Performance Assurance [OA], the General Accountability Office
[GAO], Office of the Inspector General [IG], previous surveys, self assessments,
etc.).
All open findings must be reviewed during the survey or self-assessment to
validate the status of corrective action and to evaluate the impact on the existing
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1

S&S program.
Findings identified during the current survey or self-assessment must be reported
immediately to the Departmental element and contractor line management if a
vulnerability to national security, classified information or matter, nuclear
materials, or Department property results, or may result, in a programmatic
impact to the Department. Findings identified during a survey or self-assessment,
even if closed during the survey or self-assessment activity must be documented
in the associated report.
b. Tracking. Findings and deficiencies, regardless of source, and corrective action
plans (milestones and estimated completion dates) must be entered into SSIMS in
accordance with SSIMS guidelines and tracked until closed. Quarterly status
reports must be entered into SSIMS by January 15, April 15, July 15, and October
15 of each year. Self-assessment deficiencies are not required to be entered into
SSIMS; however, a local mechanism/system must be used to track these
deficiencies and corrective action until closed.
Section 161
c. Trending. Trending evaluations must be considered in the resolution of findings
in the subtopical area of program management to determine if systemic and
systematic causal factors exist within the S&S program. Results of this
evaluation that indicate negative trends must be analyzed to ensure corrective
action plans, address root causes, and the need to ensure continuous improvement
of the S&S program.
5. RATINGS.
a. Types. Ratings must be based on the effectiveness and adequacy of the program
at a facility and reflect a balance of performance and compliance results as well as
the impact of the deficiency(ies) (e.g., findings, IG recommendations, etc.) and
mitigating factors. The ratings listed below must be used for all surveys (except
termination), reviews, and self-assessments. Does not apply (DNA) and Not
Rated (NR may also be used in applicable situations.
(1) Types of Ratings.
(a) Satisfactory. The element being evaluated meets protection
objectives or provides reasonable assurance that protection
objectives are being met.
(b) Marginal. The element being evaluated partially meets protection
objectives or provides questionable assurance that protection
objectives are being met.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 1, Section G

(c) Unsatisfactory. The element being evaluated does not meet
protection objectives or does not provide adequate assurance that
protection objectives are being met.
(d) Inspection Ratings. “Effective Performance,” “Needs
Improvement,” and “Significant Weaknesses” are indicators of a
management system performance level as outlined in DOE O
470.2B, Independent Oversight and Assurance Program.
(2) Rating Determinations.
(a) Existing Conditions. Ratings must be based on existing conditions
at the end of the survey and not future or planned corrective
actions or conditions.
(b) Impact. Ratings must be based on the impact of all open
deficiencies, regardless of source.
(c) Marginal or Unsatisfactory Ratings. Less than satisfactory ratings
in any topical area must be based on validated weaknesses in the
S&S system or deficiencies in performance.
(d) Topical Area Ratings. A topical area rating must not be marginal
for consecutive survey periods and must be assigned an
unsatisfactory rating unless one of the following conditions
applies.
1 The current survey of the topical area results in a
satisfactory rating.
2 The previous survey that resulted in a marginal rating
identified different deficiencies and reasons for the rating.
3 The deficiencies and reasons that were the basis for the
previous marginal rating were related to the completion of
a line item construction project (LICP) or upgrade program.
In that case, acceptable interim measures must have been
implemented, physically validated pending completion of
the project, and documented in the survey report.
(e) Subtopical Ratings. The decision whether or not to use all
subtopical ratings must be documented in local procedures.21
Regardless of the rating method used, the report must include the
evaluation of all required subtopical areas which must be used as
21 A minimum of one subtopical area rating must be used to effect the rating for the topical area in SSIMS.

PART 2 - SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY MANAGEMENT
SECTION H - FOREIGN OWNERSHIP, CONTROL, OR INFLUENCE (FOCI)
PROGRAM
1. APPLICABILITY.
a. The entities22 listed below are required to obtain FOCI determinations.
(1) Applicants, including industrial, educational, commercial, or any other
entity, grantee, or licensee, including an individual, that have or anticipate
executing a classified contract. This includes subcontractors of any tier,
consulting firms, agents, grantees, and cooperative research and
development agreement participants who require access authorizations.
(2) All tier parents located in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or a U.S. possession or
trust territory.
b. A FOCI determination is not required for an individual performing work under a
consulting agreement (e.g., an individual awarded a contract)23. This does not
include individuals contracting as a business.
c. Personnel responsible for the FOCI program can successfully meet FOCI
competencies through training courses offered at the DOE National Training
Center (NTC).
2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
a. When the contract involves access to SNM, DOE must render the FOCI
determination.
b. No further FOCI review is required for an applicant holding an equal or higher
U.S. Government FCL, based upon a favorable FOCI determination.
c. Contractors with existing U.S. Government Facility Clearances (FCLs) are
identified in the DOE’s SSIMS, and the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense
Security Service/Central Verification Activity System (DSS/CVA).
d. Information submitted with a FOCI package is used for the sole purpose of
evaluating FOCI and must be treated by DOE contractors, to the extent permitted
by law, as business/financial information submitted in confidence. The
information must be protected as Official Use Only (OUO).
22 The entities listed are referred to as “applicants” throughout this Section.
23 The self-employed consulting firm’s foreign involvement is determined through the background investigation
conducted to determine the individual’s eligibility for an access authorization.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section H

e. The Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) prohibits the award
of a classified contract until an FCL has been granted. When an existing contract
that does not require access authorization is modified to require access
authorizations, the contract modification cannot take effect until a FCL is granted.
Contract award/modification cannot be made until: (i) all relevant aspects of
FOCI have been resolved and, if necessary, are favorably adjudicated; (ii) the
signed DOE F 470.1, “Contract Security Classification Specification,” (CSCS) is
accepted by the cognizant security authority; and (iii) the appropriate DEAR
security clauses have been incorporated in the contract.
f. In lieu of hard-copy FOCI submissions, applicants may use the Department’s
electronic system for the submission of FOCI packages, including changes to
update their FOCI information. The FOCI web site may be accessed via an
Internet browser at https://foci.td.anl.gov. To ensure confidentiality of the
information submitted and stored on the system, the site is protected with 128-bit
encryption. Electronic signatures are not accepted; therefore, a signed original SF
328, “Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests,” executed in accordance with the
instructions on the certification section of the SF 328, must be submitted to the
DOE cognizant security authority.
Section 166
3. DETERMINING THE SECURITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLASSIFIED
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT.
a. The procurement request originator (or other individual, as designated by the
contractor line management) must identify and document on the appropriate
procurement form the security requirements of the classified contract. If the
procurement request requires an access authorization, FOCI requirements are not
applicable. If the procurement request requires access authorizations, a DOE F
470.1 CSCS24 must be completed by the procurement request originator.
b. The procurement request originator submits the appropriate procurement form
and DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the contracting officer. Upon receipt of these forms,
the contracting officer must incorporate the appropriate security clauses in the
solicitation. When the applicant is included in the competitive range, they must
be required to complete the SF 328.
4. DETERMINING THE FCL STATUS OF THE APPLICANT. The contracting officer
must identify the FCL status of all applicants within the competitive range and
preliminary selection criteria for the pending contract. The contracting officer must then
verify whether the applicant’s FCL meets the appropriate safeguarding level of the
pending contract. Verification of existing FCLs must be obtained from the DOE
cognizant security authority through DOE SSIMS or DoD DSS/CVA.
24 If a DD Form 254 has been used by the agency sponsoring the activity, it can be submitted instead of the DOE F
470.1 CSCS provided it is annotated with the DOE facility code.

5. CONTRACTS REQUIRING ACCESS.
a. When the contracting officer determines that the applicant possesses an existing
FCL the same level that the pending contract requires, the contracting officer
must send a DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the DOE cognizant security authority for
review and approval. Contract award cannot be made until the DOE F 470.1
CSCS is signed by the DOE cognizant security authority and returned to the
contracting officer.
b. When the contracting officer determines that the applicant possesses an existing
FCL but the pending contract requirements exceed the level of the current FCL,
the contracting officer must send a DOE F 470.1 CSCS to the DOE cognizant
security authority for review and approval. Contract award cannot be made until
the contracting officer has received the signed DOE F 470.1 CSCS from the DOE
cognizant security authority.
c. When the contracting officer determines that the applicant does not possess a FCL
based on a FOCI determination, the contracting officer must obtain a complete
FOCI package. Appendix 5, FOCI Matrix, summarizes the documents and forms
required to be completed and submitted by the applicant.
(1) When the applicant is owned by a parent organization(s), a separate FOCI
package must be submitted for the applicant and each tier parent located in
the U.S., Puerto Rico, or a U.S. possession or territory. Foreign tier
parents do not need to submit a comprehensive FOCI package, but a key
management personnel (KMP) listing must be submitted for each foreign
tier parent. Additionally, each foreign tier parent must be identified in the
FOCI submission(s) from the U.S. companies, and details provided as to
whether the foreign parent(s) is controlled by any foreign government or
any entity that is controlled by a foreign government.
Section 167
(2) When the applicant is a division or branch of a legal entity (i.e., part of but
not a separate legal entity), the division/branch only needs to submit a
listing of its KMP; and if applicable, representative of foreign interest
statement(s), and authorizing resolutions25 for the division/branch’s KMP.
The legal entity and, if applicable, its tier parents must submit a complete
FOCI package.
d. After obtaining the packages from the applicant, the contracting officer must
review the submission(s) to ensure the package(s) is complete. When the
package(s) is incomplete, the contracting officer must notify the applicant that the
package cannot be submitted for a FOCI determination and must request a
complete package. After obtaining the required FOCI documentation, the
25 Resolutions (adopted by the governing body) that list the express authority (i.e., duties and responsibilities) of the organization’s KMP.

contracting officer forwards the FOCI package to the DOE cognizant security
authority for processing.
e. Contracting officers must provide written notice to the DOE cognizant security
authority when:
(1) a notice of change has been submitted by the applicant on a FOCI package
submitted for FOCI review;
(2) a requested FOCI review is no longer needed;
(3) a FOCI determination was rendered on an applicant that was not awarded
the contract; and
(4) within 30 days of the termination or completion of all work on a contract
requiring access authorizations. This notification must also be made when
access authorizations are no longer required in performance of the
contract. (Notification can be accomplished by using DOE F 470.1
CSCS.)
f. When insufficient lead time is expected between selection and contract award for
the processing of the FOCI determination, the contracting officer may request a
preliminary review, not a final FOCI determination, of the SF 328 submissions of
each applicant in the competitive range.
g. A final FOCI determination can only be requested for the successful applicant.
Procurement requesters must allow sufficient lead-time for the processing of the
FOCI determination and FCL prior to award of the contract.
6. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.26, 27
a. FOCI Changes That Occur Following Submission of A SF 328 and Before
Contract Award. When an applicant has submitted a comprehensive FOCI
package to the contracting officer and changes have occurred in the FOCI of the
company prior to contract award, the applicant must submit an updated SF 328
and associated documents to the contracting officer.
b. Updates. Contractors holding a FCL based upon a favorable FOCI determination
must submit written reports of changed conditions and anticipated changes.
Additionally, contractors are required to submit a new FOCI package at least once
every 5 years (60 months).
26 Reports and submissions required by this chapter must be submitted as follows: Each contractor granted an FCL
by DOE (including excluded tier parents, if applicable) must provide the reports/information listed in this Section to
its DOE cognizant security authority.
27 Failure of the cleared U.S. organization to report changes in accordance with the requirements of this chapter or to
ensure compliance with the terms of its applicable security arrangement may result in suspension or termination of
the organization’s DOE-approved FCL if FOCI factors are at a level inconsistent with national security interests.

c. Significant Changes. When changes have occurred in the extent and nature of
FOCI that affect the information in an applicant’s most recent DOE FOCI
submission(s), the applicant must provide written notification and supporting
documentation relevant to the changes to the DOE cognizant security authority.
Significant changes that warrant a new FOCI determination include the following:
(1) a new threshold or factor exists that did not exist when the previous
determination was made (e.g., a “no” answer changes to “yes”), and any
additional factors associated with the questions on the SF 328;
(2) a previously reported threshold or factor that was favorably adjudicated by
the DOE cognizant security authority has increased to a level requiring a
determination by the Office of Security;
(3) a previously reported financial threshold or factor that was favorably
adjudicated has increased by 5 percent or more; or a shift has occurred of
5 percent or more by country location or end user (i.e., for revenue and/or
net income) or lenders (i.e., indebtedness);
(4) a previously reported foreign ownership threshold or factor that was
favorably adjudicated has increased to the extent that a FOCI mitigation
method or a different FOCI mitigation method is required; and
(5) any changes in ownership or control. Notice of changes includes
ownership or control events that are required to be reported to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Trade
Commission, or the Department of Justice (DOJ). Notification of these
changes must be made to the cognizant security authority no later than 5
working days after the event or action necessitating the notice.
d. Anticipated Changes. Anticipated changes are events that arise when the
contractor or any of its tier parents enters into formal negotiations toward
agreement, and in any event when the parties enter into a written memorandum of
understanding (MOU), or, in the case of financing agreements, when written
application for financing is made. The contractor must provide the DOE
cognizant security authority with written notification of anticipated actions
including those listed below.
(1) An action to terminate business or operations of the contractor or any of
its parents for any reason; e.g., entering into any transaction of merger,
consolidation, or amalgamation with another company; conveying, selling,
leasing, transferring, or otherwise disposing of all or a substantial part of
its business or assets; making any material change that could have an
adverse effect on the contractor organization's ability to perform its
contractual obligations for DOE or other contractors of DOE.

(2) Any change to the information previously submitted for KMP, including,
as appropriate, the names of the individuals they are replacing. In
addition, a statement including the following information must be
provided to the DOE cognizant security authority.
(a) Date and place of birth, social security number, citizenship, and, if
appropriate, personnel security clearance level and issuing agency.
(b) Whether they have been excluded from access to classified
information or matter, or SNM.
(c) Whether they have been temporarily excluded from access to
classified information or matter, or SNM pending the granting of
their DOE access authorization.
A new complete listing of KMP need only be submitted at the discretion
of the contractor and/or when requested in writing by the DOE cognizant
security authority.
f. Submission of a New FOCI Package. A new FOCI package must be completed
by the contractor or tier parent and submitted to the DOE cognizant security
authority at least every 5 years or at the request of the cognizant security
authority.
g. Annual Certification.
(1) Each contractor holding a FCL, based upon a favorable FOCI
determination, must provide written annual (at least every 12 months)
certification to the DOE cognizant security authority acknowledging that:

provided in its SF 328;
(b) no changes have occurred in the organization's ownership or legal
entity name;
(c) no changes have occurred in the organization's KMP. In addition,
when the contractor’s governing body has invoked resolutions to
process KMP for access authorizations and to exclude from the
personnel clearance requirement certain members of its governing
body and other officers and executive personnel, the contractor’s
certification must include statements as to whether:
1 each of the organization’s KMP required to obtain and
retain an access authorization continues to hold the
required access authorization;
2 any changes have occurred in the positions held by any of
the organizations uncleared KMP whereby the duties of
such position(s) require the KMP, to be identified by name,

CHAPTER I - FACILITY CLEARANCE (FCL) PROGRAM
Section 173
1. GENERAL. The FCL program regulates Department approval of a facility’s eligibility
to access, receive, generate, reproduce, store, transmit, or destroy classified information
or matter, special nuclear material (SNM), other hazardous material presenting a
potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat, and/or Department of
Energy (DOE) property worth more than $5 million, exclusive of facilities and land
values (hereinafter referred to as security activities). The following delineates the
primary requirements of the FCL program.
a. Eligibility Requirements.
(1) A contractor requiring a FCL must be sponsored by:
(a) a Government Contracting Activity (GCA) (i.e., a contracting
officer); or
(b) a cleared contractor acting as the prime contractor for the
uncleared contractor. A contractor cannot sponsor themselves for
an FCL.
(2) The contractor or prospective contractor must meet the following
eligibility requirements prior to being processed for a FCL. The
contractor or prospective contractor must:
(a) need an FCL in connection with a legitimate U.S. Government or
foreign requirement;
(b) be organized under the laws of one of the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, or Puerto Rico and must be located in the United States
or a U.S. territorial area or possession;
(c) have a reputation for integrity and lawful conduct in its business
dealings;
(d) not have been barred from participating in U.S. government
contracts. This includes key management personnel (KMP) on the
contract;
(e) not be under foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) to a
degree that the granting or continuation of the FCL would be
inconsistent with common defense and national security. This
requirement only applies when the contract awarded or to be
awarded requires access authorizations;
b. A FCL must be granted before any nuclear or other hazardous materials
presenting a potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat;
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section I
I-2
classified information or matter; or property protection interests are placed on
premises occupied by the Department or its contractors.
c. The cognizant security authority must establish and maintain FCLs by registering,
updating, suspending, reinstating, and terminating security activities under their
cognizance. Each registered FCL must identify the highest security activity
approved for that facility.
d. The FCL for a prime contractor must include those instances where classified
access will include contractors.
e. The Safeguards and Security Information Management System (SSIMS) must be
used by all Departmental elements to register FCL information over which they
have cognizant security authority, survey cognizance, or registered security
activities.
(1) DOE F 470.1, CSCS, is used to register information in SSIMS concerning
contract vehicles (contracts, subcontracts, solicitations, purchase orders,
Work for Others [WFO], leases, Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements [CRADA], etc.) that require access authorizations (personnel
security clearances). If a DD Form 254 has been used by the agency
sponsoring the activity, it can be submitted instead of the DOE F 470.1
CSCS provided it is annotated with the DOE facility code. The DOE F
470.1 CSCS and DD Form 254 document specifics concerning each
awarded contract (e.g., statement of work, classification, information
pertaining to supplies, service, and other matters) to be furnished by the
contractor to the government or by the government to the contractor.
Section 174
(2) DOE F 470.2, “Facility Data and Approval Record” (FDAR), is used to
record approvals, changes, and deletions of DOE contractor security
facility information.
(3) The cognizant security authority and surveying offices, as identified by
DOE line management, must ensure that SSIMS reflects established
facilities and security activities under their jurisdictions by submission of
an accurate DOE F 470.1 CSCS and DOE F 470.2 FDAR.
(4) If more than one Departmental element has a registered security activity at
a facility, the element responsible for the security activity involving the
highest classification level and category is the responsible DOE cognizant
security authority. This responsibility may be delegated, by mutual
agreement, to another Department element.
(5) Any change in the responsible DOE cognizant security authority must
include a written transfer of appropriate documentation (e.g., S&S plans;
construction project status; FOCI files).

Attachment 2
Part 2, Section I

f. Certain company officials must be granted access authorizations in order for a
company to qualify for a FCL involving classified information or matter, or
special nuclear material (SNM). These company officials include the owners,
officers, directors, partners, regents, trustees, or executive personnel (i.e., those
considered KMP).
g. A contractor that will not possess classified information or matter, or SNM at the
contractor’s place of business and will only access such security activities at other
cleared facilities must be cleared as a “non-possessing facility.” A non-possessing
contractor must adhere to the security plans of the facilities where the contractor
is afforded access to classified information or matter, or SNM. In addition, a
separate security plan must be executed to cover the non-possessing contractor’s
security responsibilities.
h. A self-employed individual or consultant who will not retain classified
information or matter at his/her place of business does not require FCL. For
security administration activities, to include the processing for an access
authorization, the consultant will be considered an employee of the facility where
he/she is afforded access to classified information or matter. The consultant and
the cognizant security authority must jointly execute a security plan that sets forth
their respective security responsibilities.
A self-employed individual or consultant who will retain classified information or
matter at his/her place of business must be processed and granted a FCL that
applies to the premises where the individual or consultant will store, handle, or
process classified information or matter.
i. A contractor granted an FCL by an OGA may be granted a DOE FCL for
processing, using, or storing classified information or matter, based on
reciprocity.
j. Verification of the clearance and security capability of an OGA must be based on
written assurance from that agency. No classified information or matter may be
given to the OGA until the OGA has submitted the required verification of its
clearance and security capability and the DOE cognizant security authority has
approved and registered a FCL for the OGA in SSIMS.
2. EXCEPTIONS TO REGISTRATION IN SSIMS. Foreign intelligence information,
sensitive compartmented information (SCI), special access programs (SAPs), and other
sensitive activities requiring special access or procedures associated with receipt, storage,
processing, and/or handling must conform to the applicable protection provisions of
Executive Orders and to applicable Director of Central Intelligence Directives.
Exceptions to the registration requirements are identified below.
Section 175
a. SAPs. SAPs are not registered in SSIMS. SAPs are registered under the contract
requirements in DOE M 470.4-4, Information Security.

c. Cover Operations. Classified activities designated as “cover operations” (i.e.,
activities conducted in secrecy or concealment) are not registered in SSIMS as
security activities (i.e., DOE F 470.1 CSCSs). The cognizant security authority
must notify the appropriate Departmental element before granting the FCL.

CHAPTER II - IMPORTANCE RATINGS
1. FACILITY IMPORTANCE RATINGS. Importance ratings are used to identify the
protection importance of facilities. Each facility’s assigned importance rating must be
recorded on DOE F 470.2 FDAR. Importance rating criteria are as follows.
a. “A” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that meet any of the
following criteria:
(1) engaged in administrative activities considered essential to the direction
and continuity of the overall DOE nuclear weapons program, as
determined by the Departmental element;
(2) authorized to possess Top Secret matter, or possess SAP matter or
designated as Field Intelligence Elements;
(3) authorized to possess Category I quantities of SNM (including facilities
with credible roll-up quantities of SNM to a Category I quantity); or
(4) critical infrastructure programs determined to be essential by DOE line
management.
b. “B” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that meet any of the
following criteria:
(1) engaged in activities other than those categorized as “A” and authorized to
possess Secret (S)/Restricted Data (RD) and/or weapon data matter;
(2) authorized to possess Category II quantities of SNM; or
(3) authorized to possess certain categories of biological agents.
c. “C” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that meet any of the
following criteria:
(1) authorized to possess Categories III and IV quantities of SNM or other
nuclear materials requiring safeguards controls or special accounting
procedures; or
(2) authorized to possess classified information or matter other than the type
categorized for “A” and “B” facilities.
d. “D” Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities that provide
common carrier, commercial carrier, or mail service and are not authorized to
store classified information or matter, or nuclear material during nonworking
hours. (Carriers who store classified information or matter, or nuclear material
must be assigned an “A,” “B,” or “C” importance rating.)

e. “E” (Excluded Parent) Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to a corporate tier
parent (of a contractor organization) that has been barred from participation in the
activities related to a contract with DOE.
f. “PP” (Property Protection) Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those
facilities for which a special standard of protection must be applied. Basic
considerations that include physical protection to prevent or deter acts of arson,
civil disorder, riots, sabotage, terrorism, vandalism, and the threat or destruction
of DOE property and facilities. These special standards are applied when a
facility has:
Section 176
(1) government property of a significant monetary value (more than $5
million, exclusive of facilities and land values);
(2) nuclear materials requiring safeguards controls or special accounting
procedures other than those categorized as types “A,” “B,” or “C”;
(3) responsibility for DOE program continuity;
(4) national security considerations; or
(5) responsibilities for protection of the health and safety of the public and
employees.
g. “NP” (Non-Possessing) Importance Ratings. Ratings assigned to those facilities
that have authorized access to classified information or matter, or SNM at other
approved locations. Non-possessing facilities do not themselves possess any
classified information or matter, or SNM.
2. UPGRADING AND DOWNGRADING A FACILITY’S ASSIGNED IMPORTANCE
RATING. As security activities are added or changed, the importance rating of the
approved facility may change (i.e., it may be either upgraded or downgraded).
Upgrading or downgrading a facility importance rating may also require transfer of the
DOE cognizant security authority functions. Changes to the facility importance rating
must be registered in SSIMS by the submission of DOE F 470.2 FDAR.

CHAPTER III - ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES AND FCLs
1. FCL FOR SINGLE LEGAL ENTITIES.
a. Single FCL Registration. Only one FCL registration is required if the company
and its classified security activities meet the following criteria.
(1) A centrally directed security program is maintained that covers all security
activities (i.e., under the same name, single mailing address, single
security plan applicable at all locations, and all security matters under
single management control).
(2) The distance between the security activities is such that the contractor is
able to maintain daily supervision of its operations, including day-to-day
observations of the security program.
b. Multiple-Facility Registrations for Multiple-Facility Organizations (MFOs).
(1) When a company is composed of two or more facilities existing as a single
legal entity, the home office facility must have an FCL at the same or
higher level of any cleared facility within an MFO.
(2) When branches, divisions, etc. of an MFO are cleared, the corporate
headquarters must be registered in SSIMS as the home office.
(3) Each separate branch, division, etc., of an MFO performing a security
activity requiring access authorizations must be processed for a FCL and
registered in SSIMS. This FCL registration must reflect the branch or
division location and reference the home office.30
(4) Because branches, divisions, offices, etc., of an MFO are not legally
accountable in their own right, only the home office facility can execute
an agreement/contract with the Government.
(5) A FOCI determination is not required of the subordinate facility of an
MFO. However, a subordinate facility of an MFO must submit a list of its
(not its home office’s) KMP, and the subordinate facility’s KMP must be
cleared (and excluded, if applicable) as required by Chapter V of this
Section.
2. PARENT – SUBSIDIARY RELATIONSHIP.
30 A MFO may implement a consolidated security plan applicable throughout the organization, but the security plan
must then be adapted as necessary to adequately address the requirements of each operating site.

Section 177
a. In a corporate tier parent-subsidiary relationship, the parent and each of its
subsidiaries are separate legal entities and must be processed separately for FCL.
(1) Because the parent controls the subsidiary, the general rule in the U.S.
Government is that the parent must have a FCL at the same or higher level
as that of the subsidiary.
(2) Because a subsidiary is legally accountable in its own right, the U.S.
Government can permit the parent to remain uncleared or a subsidiary to
hold a FCL of a higher level than the parent’s.
(3) The DOE cognizant security authority is responsible for determining the
necessity for the parent to be cleared:
(a) at the same level as the subsidiary;
OR
(b) at a lower level than the subsidiary;
OR
(c) excluded from access to all classified information or matter
available to the subsidiary.
(4) The decision to clear or exclude must be based on:
(a) the parent’s requirement for access authorizations to perform tasks
or services essential to the fulfillment of a classified contract; and
(b) the parent’s eligibility for a FCL, including its FOCI status.
Information regarding FOCI negation action plans can be found in
Section H of this CRD.
b. When, pursuant to paragraph 2.a.(4), above, it is determined that the FOCI for a
parent is acceptable, the parent can be either excluded altogether from the
requirement for a FCL or excluded from higher-level access by virtue of
possessing a FCL at a level below that of the subsidiary. This exclusion must be
based on formal action by the governing bodies of the parent and each intervening
subsidiary level. Compliance with one or both of the exclusion actions listed
below, as applicable, is mandatory before issuance to a subsidiary of an FCL
requiring access authorizations.
(1) Parent Organizations.
(a) The parent organization’s board of directors (or similar governing
body) must adopt a resolution, which cannot be amended or
CANCELE
D

repealed without notification to DOE, that excludes the parent
organization, the members of its board of directors, and its officers,
employees, representatives, and agents, as such, from access to all
classified information or matter, or nuclear and other hazardous
material presenting a potential radiological, chemical, or biological
sabotage threat or to a higher category of classified (specifically
identified in the resolution) entrusted to or held by the cleared
subsidiary. 31
1 This action must be made a matter of record in the minutes
of the board of directors (or similar executive body).
2 A copy of the resolution, dated and identified by the name
and address of the organization, must be furnished to the
DOE cognizant security authority.
(2) Subsidiaries. The board of directors of a subsidiary whose parent
organization (all shareholder firms in the chain of ownership) has
executed exclusion resolutions (paragraph 2.b., above) must adopt a
resolution, which cannot be amended or repealed without notification to
DOE, that excludes the parent organization(s) from access to classified
information or matter, or nuclear and other hazardous material presenting
a potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat, as
applicable, and acknowledges (i.e., notes) the exclusion resolution adopted
by the parent’s board of directors (or similar governing body).
Section 178
(a) This action must be made a matter of record in the minutes of the
board of directors (or similar executive body), and must be
furnished to the DOE cognizant security authority.
(b) A copy of the resolution, dated and identified by the name and
address of the facility, must be furnished to the DOE cognizant
security authority.
31 The applicable board resolution must be completed by all shareholder firms in the chain of ownership.

CHAPTER IV - INTERIM AND LIMITED FCLs
1. INTERIM FCL. National policy permits the granting of an interim FCL to an eligible
contractor. Interim FCLs are granted on a temporary basis pending completion of full
investigative requirements (i.e., final access authorization) for those individuals required
to be cleared in connection with the FCL (e.g., KMP). Interim FCLs may be granted
only:
a. to avoid unacceptable delays in pre-contract negotiation or in performance on a
contract; and
b. after DOE has granted interim access authorizations to facility personnel
requiring interim clearance.
When an interim access authorization for an individual (KMP) is withdrawn, the interim
FCL must also be withdrawn unless action is taken to remove the individual from the
position requiring access.
Foreign owned or controlled companies and non-U.S. citizens are not eligible for interim
FCL.
2. LIMITED FCL. See Section H of this CRD for eligibility criteria, etc., for a limited
FCL.
A limited FCL must be restricted to one security activity involving classified information
or matter, or SNM. Award of another security activity involving classified information
or matter, or SNM requires separate FCL registration (i.e., under a FCL without
restrictions or another limited FCL provided the eligibility criteria set forth in Section H
for such FCL are met).
Issuance of a limited FCL requires that strict access restrictions must be imposed to limit
access to the scope of the contract. Such access restrictions must be reflected on the
badges issued to the contractor’s employees and also reflected in any central registration
(local or Departmental) of issued DOE access authorizations.
The clearance and exclusion requirements of KMP covered in Chapter V of this Section
apply to all FCLs, including a limited FCL.

CHAPTER V - ACCESS AUTHORIZATIONS AND EXCLUSION PROCEDURES
REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH FCLs
1. ACCESS AUTHORIZATIONS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FCL.
Certain officials (typically the owners, officers, directors, partners, regents, trustees,
and/or executive personnel [KMP]) must always be cleared to the level of the FCL. The
KMP who must always be cleared commensurate with the FCL and are listed below by
type of organization. Based on their need for access, as determined by the DOE
cognizant security authority, all other KMP must be cleared commensurate with the FCL
level, cleared at a lower level, or excluded from being cleared. KMP exclusion
determinations must be made prior to the granting of the FCL.
a. Sole Proprietorships. The sole proprietor and the facility security officer (FSO)
must be cleared commensurate with the FCL. Any KMP designated to succeed
the sole proprietor or the FSO during permanent or temporary absence must be
cleared commensurate with the FCL.
Section 179
b. Corporations, Nonprofit Organizations. The senior management official (i.e.,
president or chief executive officer [CEO]); chairman of the board or, if meetings
of the board of directors are chaired by a pro tem or rotating chairman, any board
members who could serve as board chairman; and the FSO must be cleared
commensurate with the FCL. Any KMP designated to succeed the senior
management official, board chairman, or FSO during permanent or temporary
absence must be cleared commensurate with the FCL.
c. Partnerships. The managing partner and the FSO must be cleared commensurate
with the FCL. Any partner designated to succeed the managing partner or the
FSO during permanent or temporary absence must be cleared commensurate with
the FCL.
d. Colleges and Universities. The CEO, chairman of the board, or (if meetings of
the board of regents, trustees, or directors are chaired by a pro tem or rotating
chairman), any board members who could serve as board chairman, and the FSO
must be cleared commensurate with the FCL. Any official or officer designated
to succeed the CEO, board chairman, or FSO during permanent or temporary
absence must be cleared commensurate with the FCL.
2. MFOs. Any of the business structures mentioned above may be configured as a MFO.
Each subordinate facility’s KMP must be cleared or excluded as required by paragraph
1., above. Subordinate facilities of a MFO must not be granted higher FCL or access
authorizations than held by the home office of the MFO.
3. ACCESS AUTHORIZATIONS CONCURRENT WITH THE FCL. Contractors may
designate employees who require access to classified information or matter during the
negotiation of a contract or the preparation of a bid or quotation pertaining to a prime
contract or a subcontract to be processed for access authorizations concurrent with the
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section I
V-2
FCL. The granting of a FCL is not dependent on the access authorization of such
employees.
4. EXCLUSION PROCEDURES. Other officials, as determined by the DOE cognizant
security authority, must be cleared commensurate with the FCL level, cleared at a lower
level, or excluded from being cleared. When other officials are to be excluded from or
cleared at a level not commensurate with the FCL, compliance with one or both of the
exclusion actions listed below is mandatory before issuance of a FCL. When formal
exclusion action is required, the organization’s governing body must affirm the following
items.
a. Such officers, directors, partners, regents, or trustees (designated by name) will
not require, will not have, and can be effectively excluded from access to all
classified information or matter, or nuclear or other hazardous material presenting
a potential radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage threat; can be denied
access to higher level classified information or matter (specified by level)
entrusted to or held by the organization; and, do not occupy positions that would
enable them to adversely affect the organization’s policies or practices in the
performance of classified contracts.
(1) This action must be made a matter of record in the minutes of the
governing body.
(2) A copy of the resolution, dated and identified by the name and address of
the facility, must be furnished to the DOE cognizant security authority.

CHAPTER VI – FACILITY CLEARANCE
Section 180
1. REQUIREMENTS. As part of the DOE Facility Clearance (FCL) Program, facilities are
evaluated against a set of requirements to determine their ability to meet Departmental
protection standards.32 Approval of a FCL by DOE is based on a favorable evaluation of
all of the following requirements.
a. DOE F 470.2 FDAR. Completion and registration in SSIMS of DOE F 470.2
FDAR.
b. DOE F 470.1 CSCS. Completion and registration in SSIMS of DOE F 470.1
CSCS or similar form (e.g., DD F 254) for contractor/subcontractor facilities
performing contracts, subcontractors, and other contractor solicitations that
require access authorizations.
c. Security Plan. Approval of a security plan by the DOE cognizant security
authority that describes the controls necessary within the facility to appropriately
protect the security activities being performed. Such plans would include, but are
not limited to, at least one of the following:
(1) a site safeguards and security plan (SSSP) as required by Section A of this
CRD; or
(2) a site security plan (SSP) as required by Section A of this CRD.
d. Survey.
(1) For facilities with importance ratings of A, B, C, or PP, a comprehensive
initial survey must be completed in accordance with Section G of this
CRD. The survey must result in a composite facility rating of
“satisfactory” and be conducted no more than 6 months before granting
the FCL.
(2) Completion of an initial review for non-possessing facilities.
e. FSO. The FSO must be an employee of the company. The FSO must be
appointed in writing. As covered in Chapter V of this Section, the FSO must be
cleared commensurate with the FCL and concurrent with the issuance of the FCL.
The FSO and others performing security duties must complete security training
in accordance with Section J of this CRD.
f. FOCI. A favorable FOCI determination must be rendered in accordance with
Section H of this CRD. A counterintelligence (CI) threat assessment and
32 Requirements for non-possessing facilities are covered in Chapter I, paragraph 1.g. of this Section. Requirements
for self-employed individuals or consultants who will not possess classified information or matter at their places of
business are covered in Chapter I, paragraph 1.h. of this Section
CANCELE

technology transfer risk assessment must be obtained and considered prior to a
final decision to grant a FCL to an applicant company under FOCI or to restore a
FCL previously suspended because the contractor was determined to be under
FOCI.
g. Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS). A reporting
identification symbol code for NMMSS must be established for facilities
authorized to possess SNM and a nuclear materials representative must be
appointed with the contractor requirements in DOE M 470.4-6, Nuclear Material
Control and Accountability.
h. Access Authorizations. Granting access authorizations for personnel in
connection with the FCL (i.e., KMP) and, as appropriate, company employees
requiring access to perform tasks or services related to the fulfillment of a
classified contract.
i. Exclusions. Exclusion procedures must be invoked in accordance with Chapters
III and V of this Section.
2. ISSUANCE OF FCLs. After all requirements (as mentioned above) have been
satisfactorily met, the DOE cognizant security authority must notify the contractor in
writing of the level of FCL granted. See Chapter IV of this Section for requirements on
the issuance of an interim FCL.
Section 181
3. CHANGED CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE FCL. Contractors must report events
that will or may have an impact on the status of the FCL (see Section H, paragraph 7.b. –
7.f. for reportable changed conditions and anticipated changes). It is the contractor’s
responsibility to ensure that any change that might affect the validity of the FCL is
reported to the DOE cognizant security authority.
4. INTERFACE WITH FOCI REQUIREMENTS. Procedures must be in place to ensure
that coordination is accomplished between the FCL and FOCI programs. This includes
notification of FOCI determinations rendered for the company and its tier parents,
updating of determination dates, suspension of FCLs, etc. (see Section H of this CRD for
a detailed discussion of the FOCI Program).

CHAPTER VII - PROCESS FOR FCL AND SECURITY ACTIVITY REGISTRATION
1. ACCEPTING OGA FCLs.
a. Contractor. A contractor with an equal or higher FCL granted by OGAs may be
accepted by DOE for accessing, receiving, generating, reproducing, storing,
transmitting, or destroying classified information or matter, contingent on the
conditions listed below. Reciprocity between DOE and the OGA must be
documented in a written agreement before acceptance of the FCL (i.e., the
requirements identified below must be documented in a letter or MOA between
the DOE cognizant security authority and the cognizant OGA).
(1) Classification Level/Category. The FCL granted by the OGA must be at
the appropriate classification level and category and encompass the DOE
activity.
(a) A limited FCL granted by an OGA cannot be accepted.
(b) An interim FCL at the Secret or Confidential level granted by an
OGA cannot be accepted.
(c) An interim Top Secret FCL granted by an OGA may be accepted
once the following have been completed:
1 the DOE cognizant security authority has analyzed the
conditions of the interim FCL and the scope for the DOE
work and determined that the interim FCL status is
acceptable.
2 an interim FCL may be withdrawn if the interim personnel

DOE-funded work will not entail classified activities as required by DOE
M 475.1-1A, Identifying Classified Information, dated 2-26-01.
(3) Verification that classified security activities (i.e., those requiring access
authorizations [personnel security clearances]) have been recorded as
security interests on a DD F 254 (or a form similar in content).
(4) Execution of an agreement between DOE and the other agency with
respect to reimbursement for any additional S&S costs incurred by DOE.
(5) The activity must be registered in SSIMS.
4. REGISTRATION OF SECURITY ACTIVITIES. Security activities are specific,
unrelated tasks or contract elements involving security interests at a facility. Security
activities must be registered in association with a specific FCL. The DOE cognizant
security authority must ensure that each security activity is recorded on DOE F 470.1
CSCS and registered in SSIMS. If a DD F 254 has been used by the OGA sponsoring the
activity, it will be annotated with the DOE facility code, if applicable and submitted
instead of the DOE F 470.1.
a. Security Activities for Existing FCLs. The DOE cognizant security authority
must perform the following actions.
(1) Determine and validate the security requirements, including access
authorizations, for the proposed security activity.
(2) Determine the FCL status through SSIMS or the Defense Security Service
(DSS)/Central Verification Activity System (CVAS).

contractor holding a DOE or OGA FCL (i.e., FCL granted
by the agency that rendered the FOCI determination). 33
b. Registering New Security Activities.
(1) The procurement request originator must prepare a DOE F 470.1 CSCS or
submit a DD F 254 to the contracting official. The contracting official
must forward the completed DOE F 470.1 CSCS or DD F 254 to the DOE
cognizant security authority. The cognizant security authority must ensure
that each security activity is recorded on DOE F 470.1 CSCS and
registered in SSIMS.
(2) When a new activity will exceed the current FCL or a FCL does not exist,
the actions required to upgrade the current level or obtain a FCL must be
completed as appropriate (these actions are detailed in paragraph 6. of this
Chapter). Upgrading a FCL may also require transfer of DOE cognizant
security authority functions.
c. Changing Security Activity Information. The DOE cognizant security authority
who established the security activity is responsible for updating and changing
security activity information. Changes must be registered in SSIMS through
submission of an updated DOE F 470.1 or DD F 254.
d. Terminating Security Activities. When a registered security activity is
terminated, the organization that established the security activity must ensure that
33 Coordination is required in order to ensure compliance with national requirements (e.g., fulfill the Government’s
responsibility to validate and verify the company’s FOCI to determine its initial and continuing eligibility for a FCL,
ensure that exclusion resolutions are invoked when the parent organization either holds no FCL or holds a FCL at a
lower level than the subsidiary).

SECTION N - INCIDENTS OF SECURITY CONCERN
1. OBJECTIVES. To set forth requirements for the Department of Energy (DOE) Incidents
of Security Concern Program, including timely identification and notification of,
response to, inquiry into, reporting of, and closure actions for incidents of security
concern.
2. REQUIREMENTS. The broad-based requirements for implementing this Section are
listed below with elaboration provided in associated Chapters. Additionally, there may
be instances where security incidents are required to be reported through other
department reporting systems (e.g., Computer Incident Advisory Capability, Occurrence
Reporting and Processing System).
a. Any person who observes, finds, or has knowledge or information about a
potential incident of security concern must immediately report this information to
the Facility Security Officer (FSO) or designee of the facility where the incident
occurred. The FSO or designee must make notifications as specified in Chapter I,
paragraph 3. of this Section.
b. Any person discovering a potential incident of security concern, including one
that involves classified information or matter; special nuclear material (SNM),
including material protected, controlled, and accounted for as SNM; or other
security interests at risk (e.g., interests not properly controlled), must make
reasonable efforts to safeguard the security interests in an appropriate manner.
The individual must also ensure evidence associated with the incident is not
tampered with or destroyed.
c. Any person discovering actual or suspected fraud, waste, or abuse of Government
resources must ensure such incidents are reported to the Office of the Inspector
General in accordance with DOE O 221.1, Reporting Fraud, Waste, and Abuse to
the Office of Inspector General, dated 3-22-01.
d. Locally developed procedures must be established, documented, approved by the
Departmental element, and disseminated to ensure the identification, reporting,
root cause analysis, and resolution of incidents of security concern. These
procedures must also identify guidelines for corrective actions and documentation
of time and funds expended on incidents.
e. Inquiries must be conducted to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding
an incident of security concern.
f. Appropriate Federal (to include the Office of Security), State, and local
organizations must be contacted when a violation of law is suspected or
discovered.

CHAPTER I - IDENTIFICATION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. GENERAL.
a. A system of controls and procedures must be developed, approved, implemented,
enforced, and maintained:
(1) to deter, detect, and prevent recurrence of incidents of security concern;
and
Section 199
(2) for the timely identification and notification of, inquiry into, analysis of,
and reporting of incidents of security concern.
b. Inquiries are used to determine the root causes of and individuals responsible for
incidents of security concern.
c. All discussions and documents associated with an incident of security concern
must be classified or controlled according to current classification or control
guidance and follow procedures contained in contractor requirements.
2. INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION AND CATEGORIZATION. DOE uses a graded
approach for identification and categorization of incidents of security concern. This
approach provides a framework for the requirements of reporting timelines and the level
of detail for inquiries into and root cause analysis of specific security incidents. By
establishing a graded approach, line management can effectively allocate the resources
necessary to implement this Section based on the severity of security incidents. The
following paragraphs provide the basis for identification and categorization of incidents
of security concern.
a. Incident Identification. Incidents of security concern are actions, inactions, or
events that have occurred at a site that:
(1) pose threats to national security interests and/or critical DOE assets;
(2) create potentially serious or dangerous security situations;
(3) potentially endanger the health and safety of the workforce or public
(excluding safety related items);
(4) degrade the effectiveness of the S&S program; or
(5) adversely impact the ability of organizations to protect DOE S&S
interests.
b. Incident Categorization. Incidents of security concern must be categorized in
accordance with their potential to cause serious damage or place S&S interests
and activities at risk. Four categories of security incidents have been established
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section N
I-2
based on the relative severity of the incident. Each of the four categories is
identified by an impact measurement index (IMI) number as follows (from most
severe to least severe): IMI-1, IMI-2, IMI-3, and IMI-4. Each of the four
categories is further sub-divided into specific sub-categories based on the security
topical areas of physical protection, protective force (PF), information security,
personnel security, and nuclear material control and accountability (MC&A). The
categorization of specific security incidents occurs at the time the security
incident is discovered. The categorization of specific security incidents can
change based on information developed during the inquiry into the incident.
c. IMI. The IMI number is used to identify, trend, and evaluate each security
incident or combination of incidents. (Specific information to be used to
categorize incidents of security concern is contained in Table 1 through Table 4;
however, the IMI subcategories contained in these tables are not all inclusive and
if they overlap, the more stringent reporting category will apply.) The basis for
each IMI category is provided below.
(1) IMI-1. Actions, inactions, or events that pose the most serious threats to
national security interests and/or critical DOE assets, create serious
security situations, or could result in deaths in the workforce or general
public. See Table 1, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 1 (IMI-1).
Section 200
(2) IMI-2. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to national security
interests and/or critical DOE assets or that potentially create dangerous
situations. See Table 2, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 2 (IMI-2).
(3) IMI-3. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to DOE security
interests or that potentially degrade the overall effectiveness of the
Department’s S&S protection program. See Table 3, Reportable
Categories of Incidents of Security Concern, Impact Measurement Index 3
(IMI-3).
(4) IMI-4. Actions, inactions, or events that could pose threats to DOE by
adversely impacting the ability of organizations to protect DOE S&S
interests. See Table 4, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 4 (IMI-4).

3. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
a. 24-hour Determination/Categorization Period. When an incident is suspected to
have occurred, the cognizant security authority at the site/facility where the
incident occurred has 24 hours to examine and document all pertinent facts and
circumstances to determine whether an incident has occurred (see Figure 1,
Incidents of Security Concern). During this period, the suspected incident must
be categorized by an IMI number. If it is determined that an incident of security
concern did not occur, no further action is required.
b. Initial Incident Reporting. Incidents of security concern initial reports for IMI-1,
IMI-2, and IMI-3 (as well as those for IMI-4 involving non-U.S. citizens, per
paragraph 3.d., below) must be sent to the DOE Headquarters (HQ) Operations
Center (OC) using DOE Form (F) 471.1, “Security Incident Notification Report,”
in accordance with locally developed procedures approved by line management.
Initial security incident reports must be forwarded based on the following criteria.
(1) Within 1 hour following categorization for security incidents determined
to be IMI-1 (see Table 1), the cognizant security authority at the
originating site/facility must transmit a DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC.
If a verbal notification of the incident is made to the DOE HQ OC, a
follow-up transmission of the DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC must still
be made.
(2) Within 8 hours following categorization of security incidents determined
to be IMI-2/IMI-3 (see Tables 2 and 3), the cognizant security authority at
the originating site/facility must transmit a DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ
OC. If a verbal notification of the incident is made to the DOE HQ OC, a
follow-up transmission of the DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC must still
be made.
c. Reporting Incidents Receiving Media Attention. In addition to the IMI reporting
time frames, the Office of Security must be notified within 8 hours of any security
incidents that have been or will be reported in the media. The initial DOE F
471.1 and any subsequent updates must clearly identify the fact of media
reporting.
d. Reporting Incidents Associated with Non-U.S. Citizens. Security incidents
having any association with non-U.S. citizens must be clearly identified and
reported on the initial DOE F 471.1 and subsequently in any related update or
follow-on activity pertaining to the incident, including incidents categorized as
IMI-4. For security incidents involving any credible information that a non-U.S.
citizen or an agent of a foreign power is involved, the geographically closest
element of the Office of Counterintelligence (OCI)/Office of Defense Nuclear
Counterintelligence (ODNCI) must be notified.

Section 205
e. Numbering Incidents and Changing Categories. When the initial notification
incident report (i.e., DOE F 471.1) is transmitted, it must include a local incident
tracking number. All subsequent reports pertaining to a security incident (e.g.,
inquiry and other related activities) must be transmitted to the Office of Security.
Changes in IMI categorizations require resubmission of a DOE F 471.1 (or form
similar in content) to the Office of Security.
f. Reporting Incidents Associated with Sensitive Programs. Only the initial DOE F
471.1 is required for incidents involving activities associated with sensitive
programs. These programs include the sensitive compartmented information
(SCI) Program, special access program (SAPs), the Technical Surveillance
Countermeasures (TSCM) Program, the Counterintelligence (CI) Program, or
other programs identified by the Office of Security. All subsequent reporting
must be handled “within channels” until such time as the inquiry report has been
distributed. The date of the inquiry report must be transmitted to the Office of
Security for entry into the Incident Tracking Analysis Capability (ITAC)
database.
g. Closing Inquiries.
(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the
inquiry report. The inquiry report must be completed within 60 working
days of the incident categorization or a status report must be provided in
accordance with paragraph 3.j.(1), below.
(2) IMI-3 incidents are considered closed upon completion of DOE F 5639.3,
“Report of Security Incident/Infraction,” (except for completing the
section on assignment and acceptance of the security infractions), and
transmission of the completed DOE F 5639.3 to the Office of Security.
The completion of the section on assignment and acceptance of security
infractions (Part II, DOE F 5639.3) must be completed as required in local
procedures.
(3) IMI-4 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the DOE F
5639.3 in accordance with associated local procedures.
(4) A sanitized (unclassified) copy of the DOE F 5639.3 must be provided to
the responsible personnel security office for placement in the appropriate
personnel security file.
h. Final Inquiry Reports. Inquiry officials must forward final inquiry reports in
accordance with local procedures to line management for action and to the Office
of Security for all IMI-1s, IMI-2s, and IMI-3s.

i. Status/Summary Reports.
(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2. A monthly status report must be provided to the Office
of Security and the Departmental element for IMI-1 and IMI-2 incidents
that have not been closed within 60 working days of notification of the
incident.
Section 206
(a) Status reports must include as a minimum, the local tracking
number (if applicable), date of incident categorization (not
discovery), completed and planned actions, identification of issues
precluding closure, and estimated date of closure. A copy of the
original DOE F 471.1 (or form similar in content) may be included
also.
(b) Status reports are due by the fifth working day of each month.
(2) IMI-3. Status reports are not required for IMI-3 incidents.
(3) IMI-4. The cognizant security authority at each facility must maintain a
compilation of IMI-4 incidents by month. These monthly summaries,
which must contain the number of open and closed security incidents by
IMI-4 subtopic, the total initiated for the calendar month, and a running
total of open and closed incidents for the calendar year, must be provided
to the Office of Security. If no reportable incidents occurred during the
calendar month, a summary stating “no reportable incidents” must be
forwarded to the Office of Security by the fifth working day of each
month.
j. Separate but Related Reporting.
(1) Occurrence Reporting Processing System. To eliminate reporting
redundancy and centralize the reporting of security-related occurrences,
all occurrences previously reported within the “Group 5—Safeguards and
Security” category once contained in contractor requirements relating to
canceled DOE M 231.1-2, Occurrence Reporting and Processing of
Operations Information, dated 8-19-03, are incorporated into this Section.
Because an event meets the criteria for reporting as an incident of security
concern does not negate the responsibility to report it as an occurrence
under contractor requirements relating to DOE O 231.1A, chg 1,
Environment, Safety, and Health Reporting, dated 6-3-04 (i.e., event
affects both safety and security) incorporated into the contract.
(2) DOE O 151.1B, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, dated
10-29-03. Incidents that are reportable under the contract provisions of
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section N
I-13
DOE O 151.1B incorporated into the contract and must continue to be
reported in accordance with that Order and this Section.
(3) Flash Reporting. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
“Flash Reporting” procedures are not affected by the requirements in this
Section.
(4) Special Reporting Situations. Under certain circumstances, related
incidents of security concern, that are anticipated to recur over a long
period of time, may be consolidated into single monthly reports. This
situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis between the cognizant
security authority, the Departmental element, and the Office of Security.
Specific plans for this reporting process must be developed by the
cognizant security authority and submitted through the Departmental
element to the Office of Security.
k. Documenting Corrective Actions. Corrective actions identified in response to an
incident of security concern must be documented. For incidents categorized as
IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of the documentation must be forwarded to the
Office of Security if this information is not included in the inquiry report.
Documentation on corrective actions for IMI-4 incidents does not have to be
forwarded to the Office of Security.
4. INQUIRY OFFICIALS.
a. Inquiry officials must conduct inquiries to establish the pertinent facts and
circumstances surrounding incidents of security concern.
Section 207
b. Inquiry officials may be either Federal or contractor employees but must have
previous investigative experience or Department inquiry training and must be
knowledgeable of appropriate laws, executive orders, Departmental directives,
and/or regulatory requirements.
(1) Contractors may conduct inquiries into incidents of security concern;
however, if a violation of law is determined or suspected or the inquiry
establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a foreign
power is involved, the contractor must stop further inquiry actions and
notify the DOE cognizant security authority, which will assume further
notification and reporting responsibilities, to include coordination with
OCI/ODNCI. In such instances, the contractor must document the known
circumstances surrounding the incident of security concern and submit all
accumulated data to the DOE cognizant security authority.
(2) In all instances where the DOE cognizant security authority disagrees with
the contractor report, the DOE cognizant security authority must assume
supplemental inquiry responsibilities.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section N
I-14
(3) When the inquiry into an incident of security concern necessitates
communication with agencies/organizations external to the Department
(e.g., the U.S. Postal Service, the FBI, or other Federal agencies), a
Federal employee must be responsible for performing all such
communication.
(4) Contact with Federal, State, and local law enforcement officials may be
made by contractors with the written concurrence of the DOE cognizant
security authority and DOE line management.
c. Inquiry officials are not authorized to detain individuals for interviews or obtain
sworn statements; however, they may conduct consensual interviews and obtain
signed statements.
d. Inquiry officials must be appointed in writing by the DOE line management, the
head of the Office of Headquarters Security Operations, or the Office of Security.
e. Inquiry officials are responsible for conducting the inquiry and maintaining
records and documentation associated with the inquiry (e.g., logs of events, notes,
recordings, and statements).
f. When inquiry officials discover suspected or confirmed violations of law, they
must immediately notify the Office of Security.
5. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
a. If a violation of law has occurred and the preservation of evidence requires the
immediate notification of Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies (e.g.,
theft of SNM, homicide, assault, location or detonation of an explosive device),
the DOE cognizant security authority must perform all necessary referrals and
notifications, including notification to the Office of Security. The Office of
Security will notify the HQ elements of all referrals to other Federal law
enforcement agencies, including the FBI.
b. Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency personnel requiring access to
limited areas or higher for investigative actions must be escorted, have a current
access authorization passed to DOE, or possess an active DOE access
authorization. Such personnel will be approved for access to classified
information or matter only if they possess the appropriate access authorization,
the matter directly pertains to the investigation, and appropriate programmatic
approvals have been granted if such approvals are required. Access to restricted
data (RD) and formerly restricted data (FRD) requires a DOE Q or L or
appropriate personnel security clearance.
Section 208
c. When authorized and approved Federal, State, or local law enforcement personnel
are given access to classified information, they must be immediately advised of
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section N
I-15
the classification level and category. They must also be informed of the
protection and control requirements associated with the classified information
they possess.
d. When an inquiry establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a
foreign power is involved, the Office of Security must immediately notify
OCI/ODNCI, which in turn will notify the FBI in accordance with 50 U.S.C.
402a.
e. When an inquiry surrounding an incident of security concern establishes
information indicating that fraud, waste, or abuse has occurred, the Office of the
Inspector General must be notified for information and/or action.
f. The DOE cognizant security authority must make arrangements for the issuance
of standard DOE security badges, the granting of access to classified information,
and any other necessary agreements or items requested or required by Federal,
State, or local law enforcement agencies involved in investigations.
6. CONDUCT OF INQUIRIES.
a. If an incident affects more than one site/facility, the following criteria must be
used in determining the lead organization responsible for conducting the inquiry.
(1) If the sites/facilities fall under the purview of a single DOE cognizant
security authority, that DOE cognizant security authority must assign
responsibility to a lead organization.
(2) If the sites/facilities fall under the purview of multiple DOE cognizant
security authorities, those DOE cognizant security authorities must, by
mutual agreement, decide on a lead organization with responsibility for
the inquiry.
b. The following actions must be taken when conducting inquiries into incidents of
security concern and be reflected in the inquiry report (see Chapter II for
additional requirements).
(1) Data Collection.
(a) Collect all data/information relevant to the incident, such as
operations logs, inventory reports, requisitions, receipts,
photographs, signed statements, etc.
(b) Conduct interviews to obtain additional information regarding the
incident.
(c) Collect physical evidence associated with the inquiry, if available.
(Examples of physical evidence include, but are not limited to,

official.
(2) Security infractions are issued to document the assignment of
responsibility for an incident of security concern. Individuals who do not
possess an access authorization may be issued a security infraction.
b. Corrective actions taken in response to incidents of security concern must be
documented, and for incidents categorized as IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of
the documentation must be forwarded to the Office of Security. Documentation
on corrective actions for IMI-4 incidents does not have to be forwarded to the
Office of Security.
c. A copy of Part 1 of DOE F 5639.3 or similar form must be placed in the
employee’s DOE personnel security file. If an employee does not have an access
authorization, it must be placed in his/her personnel file.

CHAPTER II - INCIDENTS OF SECURITY CONCERN INVOLVING
COMPROMISE OR POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
1. INQUIRIES INTO COMPROMISE OF, POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF, OR
MISSING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. The following requirements are in addition
to those contained in Chapter I of this Section. Inquiry officials must perform the
following actions.
a. Interview custodians and others having knowledge of the incident. When
necessary, records must be audited for evidence of destruction, transmission, or
other disposition.
b. Ensure a DOE F 5639.2, “Reporting Unaccounted for Documents,” or a form
comparable in content, is completed if classified information or matter is missing.
c. Determine which Departmental element has programmatic responsibility for the
information or whether the information was originated by another Government
agency or foreign government.
d. Determine whether a compromise or potential compromise occurred. If there was
a potential compromise, seek to determine the probability of compromise.
Document the basis for such findings (i.e., potential compromise is defined as an
incident of security concern where circumstances exist that cannot rule out the
compromise of classified information).
e. If an inquiry determines that a compromise or potential compromise has occurred,
document the extent of the dissemination of the classified information and the
actions taken to prevent further dissemination.
Section 212
f. When an inquiry establishes that classified information has been compromised by
being published in the media, the questions contained in the Department of
Justice (DOJ) Eleven-Point Criteria, which are listed below, must be answered
and coordinated with the Office of Security. When completing the questions,
provide all documentation and appropriate information to support affirmative
responses. Each question must be answered affirmatively before the DOJ will
initiate a formal investigation into the compromise; however, failure to
affirmatively answer all the DOJ criteria does not preclude the DOJ from
pursuing administrative or criminal action.
(1) Could the date and identity of the article or articles disclosing the
classified information be provided?
(2) Could specific statements in the article that are considered classified be
identified? Was the data properly classified?
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
DRAFT XX-XX-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section N
II-2
(3) Is the classified data that was disclosed accurate? If so, provide the name
of the person competent to testify concerning the accuracy.
(4) Did the data come from a specific document, and, if so, what is the origin
of the document and the name of the individual(s) responsible for the
security of the classified data disclosed?
(5) Could the extent and official dissemination of the data be determined?
(6) Has it been determined that the data has not been officially released in the
past?
(7) Has it been determined that prior clearance for publication or release of
the information was not granted by proper authorities?
(8) Does review reveal that educated speculation on the matter cannot be
made from material, background data, or portions thereof which have been
published officially or have previously appeared in the press?
(9) Could the data be made available for the purpose of prosecution? If so,
include the name of the person competent to testify concerning the
classification.
(10) Has it been determined that declassification had not been accomplished
prior to the publication or release of the data?
(11) Will disclosure of the classified data have an adverse impact on the
national defense?
2. DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. Damage assessments determine potential damage to
national security when classified information has been compromised or potentially
compromised. Damage assessments are performed to evaluate and document possible
countermeasures and conduct actions to limit potential damage. Additionally, damage
assessments are used by appropriate authorities when criminal prosecution is sought.
Classification guidance must be evaluated and updated, as appropriate, based on damage
assessments. Damage assessments must be conducted when:
a. inquiries disclose evidence that classified information, including Weapon Data
(Sigmas 1, 2, 14, and 15), SCI, or SAP data have been compromised or
potentially compromised;
b. analysis reveals similar information has been compromised frequently or when
the information has been compromised to a wide audience (e.g., public media,
international conference, Internet);
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-1
08-26-05
Attachment 2
Part 2, Section N
II-3
c. a violation of laws appears to have occurred and criminal prosecution is
contemplated; or
d. the Departmental element determines one is necessary.
3. CONDUCT OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. Damage assessments are conducted by the
Departmental element with programmatic responsibility for the compromised or
potentially compromised classified information.
Section 213
The originator of the compromised information must provide the DOE cognizant security
authority with a copy of the compromised or potentially compromised information, if
available. If no other copy exists, the originator must provide a detailed description of
the compromised information.
The originator must coordinate with a derivative classifier to confirm the classification
level and category of the compromised information according to current classification
guidance and policy. The derivative classifier provides the basis from the classification
determination (i.e., classification guide used).
4. COMBINING SIMILAR INCIDENTS. Damage assessments may be completed for a
group of similar incidents when such grouping is a logical method of meeting this
requirement. A logical grouping includes a situation where multiple matters requiring a
damage assessment are related to a programmatic area and would result in the same or
similar damage to national security or advantage to foreign governments and/or hostile
organizations.
5. CASES INVOLVING OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY INFORMATION.
Whenever a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified information of
another Government agency (OGA), the contractor cognizant security authority through
the DOE cognizant security authority responsible for the inquiry must provide the facts
and circumstances that affect the OGA’s information or interests to the Director, Office
of Security.
6. CASES INVOLVING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. Whenever a
compromise or potential compromise involves the information of a foreign government
that requires protection (e.g., Confidential Foreign Government Information Modified
Handling [C/FGI-Mod]), the contractor cognizant security authority through the DOE
cognizant security authority responsible for the inquiry must provide the facts and
circumstances that affect the foreign government’s information or interests to the
Director, Office of Security. The foreign government, however, will not normally be
advised of any Departmental security system vulnerabilities that allowed or contributed
to the compromise or potential compromise.
