SUBJECT: DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY BADGES
1. OBJECTIVE. To establish requirements for Department of Energy (DOE) badges.
2. CANCELLATION. None.
3. APPLICABILITY.
a. DOE Elements. The requirements in this Notice apply to DOE, including the
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and contractor facilities and
operations on DOE-owned or -leased property.

The requirements in the CRD apply to the extent set forth in a contract.
c. Exclusions.
(1) Consistent with the responsibilities identified in Executive Order 12344, the
Director of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program will determine the
applicability of this Notice for activities and facilities under his control.
(2) The requirements in this Notice do not apply to DOE and contractor facilities
and operations on DOE-owned or -leased property involving access of 30 or
fewer people.
4. REQUIREMENTS. Requirements as stated in DOE M 5632.1C-1, MANUAL FOR
PROTECTION AND CONTROL OF SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY INTERESTS, for
badging remain in effect. The following requirements are provided for clarification of
DOE badge issues.
a. DOE badges shall be issued to each DOE Federal and contractor employee. The DOE
security badge, or the Office of Science common badge are the only formats to be
used.
(1) Those individuals with an access authorization must be issued a DOE security
badge.

(2) The DOE security badge will be accepted at all DOE facilities, including those
facilities where the Office of Science common badge is issued, as listed in
paragraphs 4.c and 4.d below.
(3) DOE elements and facilities without a DOE security badge or Office of Science
common badge for their Federal and contractor employees must issue an
appropriate DOE badge no later than 12-31-00.
(a) Local Site-Specific Only (LSSO) badges, in the DOE security badge
format, are described in the DOE Badge Program document dated 4-15-99.
LSSO badges may be issued to support staff that do not require access to
other DOE facilities. These badges are suitable for visitors, vendors, and
unique local badging requirements.
(b) The facilities listed in 4.c below already using the DOE security badge can
continue to use the DOE security badge.
(c) The facilities listed in 4.c below already using a site specific or LSSO
badge must issue an Office of Science common badge no later than 12-31-
01.
(d) Employee identification cards are not considered an acceptable substitute
for the DOE security badge or Office of Science common badge and must
be replaced no later than 12-31-00.
b. A DOE-issued security badge must be worn in security areas at all times including
property protection areas, to identify that a badge holder has an official need to be
present on DOE-owned or -leased property. The following requirements apply:
(1) The DOE Badge Program document, dated 4-15-99, provides the approved
design of the DOE security badge and other types of badges.
(2) Entry to DOE facilities does not imply access to classified matter, other
controlled information, or security areas used for the storage and processing of
special nuclear materials.
Section 2
c. Facilities excluded from the DOE security badge requirements are the following
Office of Science, Office of Fossil Energy, and Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy facilities:
(1) Albany Research Center
(2) Ames Laboratory, Iowa State University

d. Argonne National Laboratory-East and Brookhaven National Laboratory, which are
fundamentally basic research facilities principally involved in unclassified activities,
must accomplish the following within 120 days of the date of this Notice:
(1) With the exception of central alarm stations (CAS) and emergency operations
centers (EOC), consolidate all classified handling facilities into a single limited
area that is appropriately protected in accordance with DOE Manual 5632.1C-1.
(2) If subsequent classified missions that can not be placed into the limited area are
received after implementation, then facilities must submit a deviation. Deviations
must be concurred upon by the Program Secretarial Officer, and Security
Operations and Emergency Management, and approved by the Operations Office
Manager.
(3) Entry into the limited area, including CAS and the EOC, will be based on the
DOE security badge.
e. Personnel assigned to the facilities identified in paragraphs 4.c and 4.d must be issued an
Office of Science common badge without distinction of nationality.
(1) The Office of Science common badge must not be used for access to DOE -owned
or -leased property where the DOE security badge is used.
(2) Entry to DOE unclassified facilities described in paragraphs 4.c and 4.d does not
imply access to controlled information.
(3) The Office of Science common badge will be worn in property protection areas as
defined in the local security plan. Outside of property protection areas, wearing of
the Office of Science common badge, if required, will be approved by the
laboratory directors, project managers or facility managers, in coordination with
the Program Secretarial Officer.
