DOE O 142.3C, Unclassified Foreign National Access Program

AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: INITIATED BY: www.directives.doe.gov Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security U.S. Department of Energy ORDER Washington, DC Approved: 3-31-2026 SUBJECT: UNCLASSIFIED FOREIGN NATIONAL ACCESS PROGRAM 1. PURPOSE. The Department of Energy (DOE) unclassified mission focuses on the critical challenges of our time, for both the country and the world. While much of this unclassified mission work is performed in collaboration with the international community, the federal government simultaneously holds a responsibility to protect its assets and deny unauthorized access to sites, information, or technologies. This program defines the requirements for unclassified foreign national access to DOE sites, information, or technologies by establishing requirements for the following: a. A risk-based review and approval process for foreign national access consistent with United States (U.S.) law; export control regulations; national and economic security; and DOE program-specific policies, requirements, and objectives.1 b. A process for documenting and tracking foreign national access to DOE sites and access to DOE information or technologies. 2. CANCELLATIONS. DOE O 142.3B, Unclassified Foreign National Access Program, dated 01-15-21. Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual or regulatory obligation to comply with the directive. Contractor Requirements Documents (CRDs) that have been incorporated into a contract remain in effect throughout the term of the contract unless and until the contract or regulatory commitment is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or substitute a new set of requirements. 3. APPLICABILITY. a. Departmental Applicability. Except for the equivalencies/exemptions in paragraph 3.c., this Order applies to all Departmental elements. The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 1 This Order serves as DOE’s policy to assess the counterintelligence risk that covered visitors or covered assignees pose to the research or activities undertaken at the National Laboratories, as required by Sec. 6432 of the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, Public Law 118-159 (December 23, 2024) (FY2025 NDAA). In addition, any legal prohibition on admittance, particularly the absolute prohibition detailed in Section 4.n for citizens or agents of Covered Foreign Nations to specified facilities under section 3112(c) of the FY2025 NDAA must be applied first in accordance with applicable DOE guidance before proceeding with any request under this Order. DOE O 142.3C 3 DOE O 142.3C 3-31-2026 must ensure that NNSA employees comply with their responsibilities under this Order. Nothing in this Order will be construed to interfere with the NNSA Administrator’s authority under section 3212(d) of Public Law (P.L.) 106-65 to establish Administration-specific policies, unless disapproved by the Secretary. b. DOE Contractors. Except for the equivalencies/exemptions in paragraph 3.c., the CRD (Attachment 1) sets forth requirements of this Order that will apply to contracts that include the CRD. The CRD must be included in contracts involving foreign national access to DOE sites, information, or technologies.

REQUIREMENTS. Foreign national requests for access to DOE sites, information, or technologies will be reviewed based on all the information provided and any potential impacts on site or program operations. All access requests must include all applicable data elements outlined below and any additional information required by the Foreign Access Central Tracking System (FACTS). Access requests involving the following must not exceed two years continuous duration from the start date: requests by foreign nationals from countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List (SCL), to include State Sponsors of Terrorism (SST) and Countries of Risk (COR), and Covered Foreign Nations (CFN)2; access requests to a physical security area more restrictive than a Property Protection Area (PPA); or access requests for sensitive subjects. In other situations, an approved access request must not exceed four years in continuous duration. For the purposes of this Order, continuous duration means a single uninterrupted period. However, access requests can only be valid for the duration of the lawful immigration status of the foreign national regardless of the length of the access request. If the foreign national requesting access has multiple country affiliations, the requirements are applied based on the country that has the most associated restrictions as identified in this Order based on country category (SST, COR, CFN, or Other Designated Country). A determination of access approval is required before each access request is granted and must ensure that any identified risk to the Government associated with the access granted has been appropriately evaluated and mitigated, including a review against the Science and Technology (S&T) Risk Matrix. All access approvals must be made by U.S. citizens, be valid for the duration of the access request, and be documented in FACTS no later than the first day of access. a. Access Request. Each foreign national access request must include the following items: (1) Identification of the information or technology(ies) to be accessed, and whether considered a sensitive subject as defined by this Order. (2) Identification of the area (e.g., GAA, PPA) to be accessed for all physical access requests. (3) Justification for the requested access, including specific activities or involvement. (4) Identification of the DOE/NNSA program or sub-element and its mission advanced by the access request. (5) Proposed start and end dates of access request which cannot exceed the 2 Refer to Section 4, subsection n for Prohibition on Admittance for Citizens or Agents of Covered Foreign Nations (CFN) 6 DOE O 142.3C 3-31-2026 duration identified in paragraph 4 above [NOTE: Access requests can only be valid for the duration of the lawful immigration status of the foreign national regardless of the length of the access request]. (6) The Required Data Elements in Attachment 3, as applicable.

b. Supplemental Foreign National Access Questionnaire. A Supplemental Foreign National Access Questionnaire must be submitted and entered into FACTS in support of all foreign national access requests for individuals affiliated with SST or COR countries. The data fields for this questionnaire are defined in Attachment 3. c. Curriculum Vitae (CV). A CV must be provided for all non-SST and non-COR foreign nationals conducting research at laboratories and entered into FACTS. CVs must include all employment activities from the age of 18 years and provide all the foreign national’s science and technology specialties. CVs must also include the current/accurate name of all academic institutions attended and all degrees/diplomas earned. There should be no lapses in time over the past 10 years. d. The DOE office or contractor responsible must provide the following statement to each foreign national who requires a curriculum vitae (CV) or equivalent document and is requesting access. This statement must be signed by the foreign national, certifying that all information provided is complete and accurate.3 I, [Full Name and Title], certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the information provided by me in a CV or equivalent document and related to my immigration status is true, complete, and accurate. I understand that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, misrepresentations, half-truths, or omissions of any material fact may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, and 1031 and 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733 and 3801- 3812). I further understand and agree that (1) the statements and representations made herein are material to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) decision to provide access to DOE/NNSA sites, information or technology; and (2) I have a responsibility to update the information provided should circumstances change which impact such information. Signature: [Full Name and Title] Date: e. FACTS Data Entry and Updates. The Supplemental Foreign National Access 3 A new review, based on the additional data elements required by Attachment 3, for individuals with existing access approvals at the time of publication of this Order is not required. These individuals will need to provide the data elements required by Attachment 3 at the time of their next access authorization renewal. DOE O 423.1C 7 3-31-2026 Questionnaire or CV, as required in 4.b and 4.c, respectively, must be entered in electronic form into the FACTS database. (1) The DOE office or contractor responsible shall require foreign nationals to provide information on changes in employment within 30 days of such a change. (2) Prior to access being granted: If the responsible DOE office or contractor determines or becomes aware of additional information associated with the foreign national requesting access that is materially relevant to the risk-based process described in this Order, the access request for such foreign national must not be approved until the additional information is considered as part of the review of the request for access. (3) After initial access is granted: If the responsible DOE office or contractor determines or becomes aware of additional information associated with the foreign national that is materially relevant to the risk-based process described in this Order, the foreign national’s access must be reviewed based on that additional information and the responsible DOE office or contractor must determine within 30 days whether to suspend, revoke, or continue the current access. If access is suspended, the responsible DOE office or contractor has 45 additional days to make a final decision to revoke or continue the access.

(4) For the situations described in (2) and (3) above, the DOE office or contractor responsible shall consult with the cognizant office within the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence prior to making any final determinations. (5) To the extent that the responsible DOE office or contractor determines that any misrepresentation or omission described in (1), (2), or (3) above was deliberate or intentional, the access for the foreign national may be denied or revoked. f. Site Security Plan (SSP). The SSP must include the requirements and procedures used to process foreign national access requests at the site. The SSP, as approved by the Officially Designated Federal Security Authority (ODFSA), must include requirements to ensure: (1) appropriate documentation describing the process for application of the exemptions listed in this Order, particularly the exemption in paragraph 3.c.(2)(6) allowing information exchanges with DOE employees and contractors outside of the individual’s duty station; (2) appropriate delegation of approval authority to the site management official or laboratory director, and any related procedures; (3) that appropriate export control and technology transfer reviews, and 8 DOE O 142.3C 3-31-2026 determinations of export license requirements, are conducted; (4) that nationals of state sponsors of terrorism (SST) do not host other foreign nationals; (5) that nationals of countries of risk (COR) do not host other nationals of CFN, CORs, SSTs, or other designated countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List; (6) coordination with designated Counterintelligence (CI) and Intelligence (IN) elements; (7) site-specific subject matter expert (SME) reviews, escort, and host requirements; (8) that the span of control of an individual host is reasonable (e.g., limit on the number of foreign nationals being hosted by a single individual); and, (9) that nationals of CFNs, CORs, SSTs, or other designated countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List may not serve as the direct supervisor to a cleared contractor employee, absent a waiver from the head of the cognizant HQ departmental or field element. g. Lawful Immigration Status, Citizenship, and Identity. Sufficient documentation of immigrant or nonimmigrant status, citizenship, and identity is required for all foreign nationals at DOE sites, facilities and laboratories to verify identity and authority to work (when applicable for the activities involved) and to ensure that the foreign national is eligible [i.e., in lawful immigration status, including those who have received Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status] to be in the U.S. The lawful immigration status of foreign nationals must be valid for the duration of the access request. There is an exception for intermittent periods by foreign nationals entering the U.S. under the State Department Visa Waiver Program, temporarily for business or pleasure, or for Canadian citizens who do not require entrance visas. h. Assignment of Approval Authority. Approvals for foreign national access must be consistent with line management accountability requirements.

(1) Headquarters Elements. Approval authority for foreign national access to HQ activities and/or offices within HQ sites/organizations is the head of the cognizant HQ departmental element. Heads of HQ departmental elements may make final approval determinations for access requests involving sensitive country nationals, non-sensitive country nationals, and nationals of SSTs who are lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the United States. The head of a HQ departmental element may reassign his or her approval as appropriate. Further reassignment of approval authority is not allowed. All reassignments of approval authority must be in writing, and a copy must be provided DOE O 423.1C 9 3-31-2026 to the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security. Heads of HQ programs, staff, and support offices will be held accountable for all decisions made by themselves or by those to whom they reassign approval authority. Access by foreign press to HQ sites is managed through the Office of Public Affairs and involves official press interviews. Access by press representatives from non-sensitive countries must be documented in FACTS within two working days of access. Press representatives from sensitive countries or representing press services of sensitive countries require full pre-access reviews and approvals documented in FACTS before access. High-level protocol access is limited to meetings between the Secretary of Energy, the Deputy Secretary, the Under Secretaries, Program Secretarial Officers (PSOs) or other senior Departmental officials, and foreign national representatives of foreign governments or organizations of foreign governments in HQ buildings. The Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretaries, and PSOs will determine which senior Departmental officials within their organizations are authorized to grant this access. Advance approval reviews may be suspended if requested by these senior Departmental managers subject to compliance with the security plans and procedures developed for high-level protocol access to HQ sites. The duration of high-level protocol access is limited to one day. Documentation of these visitors in FACTS is required within one working day of the access. Justification for this access must address the protocol nature of the access. (2) Field Sites. Approval authority and accountability for foreign national access to a Departmental site and associated information and/or technology is the head of the cognizant DOE field element for that site. The head of the cognizant field element may make final approval determinations for access requests involving sensitive country nationals, non-sensitive country nationals, and nationals of SSTs that are LPRs. The head of the cognizant field element may delegate approval authority to the site management official or laboratory director after demonstration of adequate procedures to handle these access requests. When the site management official or laboratory official is not a U.S. citizen, the head of the cognizant DOE field element may delegate approval authority and accountability to only an individual who is a U.S. citizen. All site approval authorities must be defined in the SSP. A site management official or laboratory director may reassign approval authority to other U.S. citizen employees within their organization. Further reassignment or delegation of approval authority is not allowed. A site management official or laboratory director must reassign or delegate approval authority in writing and document this action in the SSP. Site management officials and

10 DOE O 142.3C 3-31-2026 laboratory directors are accountable for all access approval decisions made by themselves or by those to whom they have delegated or reassigned approval authority. i. Countries of Risk. Access requests for Country of Risk foreign nationals are subject to the absolute prohibition described in Section 4.n. For requests not subject to that prohibition, Country of Risk foreign nationals' access to certain restricted technology or information as identified in the S&T Risk Matrix must undergo an enhanced review process as described below in paragraphs 4.i.(1)-(3). All proposed access requests in areas that are not identified as restricted in the current S&T Risk Matrix can proceed with the access request review and approval process as required by this Order.4 Requests for access to conduct research under a User Agreement at an Office of Science, Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, or Nuclear Energy User Facility at a non-NNSA DOE laboratory are exempt from the review requirements related to the S&T Risk Matrix discussed below. All other requirements of this Order apply to these access requests. (1) A request for access is reviewed by the site, in coordination with the Head of the cognizant DOE Field Element, to determine if the access request is in an area identified as restricted in the current S&T Risk Matrix before submitting the proposed access request through the standard access request review and approval process promulgated by this Order. When an access request is from a Country of Risk foreign national and in an area identified as restricted in the current S&T Risk Matrix, the cognizant DOE Field Element must agree to proceed with the enhanced review process. (2) Absent this agreement, the proposed access request is not pursued any further. (3) When the Head of the cognizant DOE Field Element agrees to proceed with the enhanced review process, a justification and clear description of why the access request benefits the U.S. must be prepared. The access request must then be submitted through the appropriate PSO and Cognizant Secretarial Officer (CSO), with final approval/disapproval being provided by the cognizant Under Secretary or their designee. (4) Completion of specialized enhanced vetting conducted by the DOE Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence is required prior to final approval of the access request. A copy of the request, along with the required additional information, must be submitted to the cognizant local CI office to support the review. Indices checks will be conducted as part of the specialized enhanced vetting process; therefore, it is recommended the 4 A new review, based on the additional S&T Risk Matrix requirements, for individuals with existing access approvals at the time of publication of this Order is not required. These individuals will be assessed against the current S&T Risk Matrix requirements at the time of their next access authorization renewal. DOE O 423.1C 11 3-31-2026 request be submitted 45 days prior to the start date of the access request. (5) DOE may consider broad approvals for specific categories of these types of access requests, such as those supported under government-to- government agreements and in line with National Security Council policy guidance, to ensure existing priorities are not unduly impeded. These broad approvals will be determined by the cognizant Under Secretary or their designee in consultation with the cognizant DOE Program Office.

j. Nationals of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Access requests for nationals of State Sponsors of Terrorism are subject to the absolute prohibition described in Section 4.n. For requests not subject to that prohibition, access requests for nationals of SSTs who are not LPRs require approval by the HQ Departmental element or site approval authority before final approval determination. Final approval authority is held by the Secretary of Energy and can only be assigned to the Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, Under Secretary of Energy, or Under Secretary for Science. The Deputy Secretary or appropriate Under Secretary, in consultation with the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, will make the final approval determination for these access requests. Subsequent access requests extending currently approved and on-going access to a HQ or contractor site or laboratory may be approved by the HQ Departmental element or contractor site or laboratory approval authority. For nationals of SST that are LPRs, final approval determination is at the HQ Departmental element or site approval authority level. k. Indices Checks. Indices checks are coordinated by the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence and shall be requested through the process of documenting access requests in FACTS. Indices checks are valid for a period of two years from the indices completion date, as documented in FACTS by the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. If the approved access request exceeds this two-year period, updated indices checks are automatically requested through FACTS prior to the current expiration date. (1) The following access requests require completed indices checks prior to the start of the foreign national’s access: (a) All access requests by nationals of SSTs and CORs. (b) All access requests to a physical security area are more restrictive than a Property Protection Area (PPA). (c) All access requests by all other sensitive country nationals to the DOE/NNSA national laboratories, sites, information or technologies.4 [NOTE: The indices check for requests by other sensitive country nationals for access to conduct research under a User Agreement at an Office of Science, Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, or Nuclear Energy User Facility at a non- NNSA DOE laboratory can be completed after access is granted.] 12 DOE O 142.3C 3-31-2026 (2) All access requests for sensitive subjects. [NOTE: The indices check for access requests by non-sensitive nationals for sensitive subjects at sites with no classified work can be completed after access is granted.] (3) Indices checks are not required for non-sensitive country national’s access to non-sensitive subjects in a PPA or less restrictive areas.

For access requests that require completion of indices checks prior to the start of foreign national access, the request must be documented in FACTS in sufficient time to complete the indices checks. It is recommended that the request be entered into FACTS at least 45 days prior to the start date of the request to ensure adequate time for completion of indices checks. The approval authority may request a counterintelligence consultation in lieu of completion of the indices checks. Such requests will require approval from the head of the DOE field element and Senior Counterintelligence Officer (SCIO) and their agreement that there are exceptional or exigent circumstances justifying the request. A consultation may not be used for an access request that is for employment purposes. For requests involving nationals of SSTs or Country of Risk foreign national access to restricted technology or information as identified in the S&T Risk Matrix, counterintelligence consultations may not be utilized until 60 days after requests are documented in FACTS. Counterintelligence consultations may not be employed as a standard alternative to indices checks. If there are valid indices checks for the foreign national documented in FACTS, the indices checks will be considered completed upon documentation of the request in FACTS using the existing FACTS biographical record for that foreign national. l. Documentation. FACTS is the Department’s official national database on unclassified foreign national access requests. Access to FACTS is limited to U.S. citizens. All required information regarding access requests that require documentation, as detailed in this Order, must be entered into FACTS. (1) Closeout Information. Information documenting the final status of access requests must be entered into FACTS within 15 days after the last day of access. This information includes the closeout status, closeout comments, and actual start and end dates for access that have taken place. Closeout statuses include: Completed, Canceled Before or After Approval, Denied, or No Show. (2) SME reviews, when conducted in compliance with SSP requirements, must be documented in FACTS. m. Restriction on Foreign National Supervision of Cleared Employees. Nationals of CORs, SSTs, or other designated countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List may not serve as the direct supervisor to a cleared contractor employee, absent a waiver from the head of the cognizant HQ departmental or field element. (1) The head of the cognizant HQ departmental or field element will make the DOE O 423.1C 13 3-31-2026 decision whether to grant or deny a waiver request through a standardized process informed by a risk assessment provided by the DOE Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. [NOTE: The granting of a waiver does not mean that the foreign national supervisor may access classified information derived from their supervision of the cleared contractor employee and does not release the cleared contractor employee from all requirements to protect classified material to which they have been granted access.] (2) Granted waivers are valid for a period of two years, at which point a new waiver request should be submitted for reassessment. n. Prohibition on Admittance for Citizens or Agents of Covered Foreign Nations (CFN) to Specified Facilities (FY2025 NDAA Section 3112(c)).

(1) Absolute Prohibition: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Order, access by any citizen or agent of a 'Covered Foreign Nation' (People's Republic of China, Russian Federation, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Islamic Republic of Iran) to any of the following facilities is absolutely prohibited and cannot be approved through any internal administrative process of this Order: (a) Any facility of a national security laboratory (i.e., Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories). (b) Any nuclear weapons production facility. (c) Any site that directly supports the protection, development, sustainment, or disposal of technologies or materials related to the provision of nuclear propulsion for United States naval vessels. (d) Areas accessible to the general public at such facilities are exempt from this prohibition. (2) Statutory Waiver Process: Admittance under this statutory prohibition may only occur if the Secretary of Energy (or, for NNSA-cognizant facilities, the NNSA Administrator) grants a waiver on a case-by-case basis. Such a waiver must include a written certification to the congressional defense committees that the admittance is in the national security interest of the United States. A statutory waiver, once granted and certified to Congress, permits the individual to proceed with access; however, all other applicable requirements of this Order (e.g., indices checks, host responsibilities, site security plan compliance, duration limits not superseded by the waiver terms) remain in effect. 14 DOE O 142.3C 3-31-2026 5.

The contractor is responsible for flowing down the requirements of this CRD to subcontractors at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance with the requirements.

1. PURPOSE. The Department of Energy (DOE) unclassified mission focuses on the critical challenges of our time, for both the country and the world. While much of this unclassified mission work is performed in collaboration with the international community, the federal government simultaneously holds a responsibility to protect its assets and deny unauthorized access to sites, information, or technologies. This program defines the requirements for unclassified foreign national access to DOE sites, information, or technologies by establishing requirements for the following: a. A risk-based review and approval process for foreign national access consistent with United States (U.S.) law; export control regulations; national and economic security; and DOE program-specific policies, requirements, and objectives.5 b. A process for documenting and tracking foreign national access to DOE sites and access to DOE information or technologies. 2. EXEMPTIONS. a. Unclassified events and activities outside the U.S. or its territories. b. Dual citizens, only if one citizenship is U.S. citizenship. c. Requests for access to information that is not a sensitive subject as defined by this Order and in accordance with applicable procedures (i) is already available to the public or (ii) has been documented to be published and shared broadly within the scientific community. [NOTE: Physical access to a site will follow normal site security procedures, including the applicable requirements of this Order.] 5 This Order serves as DOE’s policy to assess the counterintelligence risk that covered visitors or covered assignees pose to the research or activities undertaken at the National Laboratories, as required by Sec. 6432 of the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, Public Law 118-159 (December 23, 2024) (FY2025 NDAA). In addition, any legal prohibition on admittance including under section 3112(c) of the FY2025 NDAA must be applied first in accordance with applicable DOE guidance before proceeding with any request under this Order. Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only DOE O 142.3C Page 1-2 3-31-26 d. Requests for access to information (e.g., technical specifications, project data, research results) by foreign nationals from countries that are formally part of a specific DOE program-sponsored international collaboration project under a DOE or U.S. Government-level bilateral or multilateral international agreement (e.g., Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, Proton Improvement Plan-II, Vera C. Rubin Observatory (formerly the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)), Dark Energy Search Collaboration). This applies only to information generated under these projects and agreed to be shared among the participants. [NOTE: Physical access to a site that would otherwise be within this exemption will follow normal site security procedures, including the applicable requirements of this Order.] e. Information exchanges conducted remotely by HQ program offices and supporting laboratory and contractor personnel, in direct support of DOE/NNSA nonproliferation, counterproliferation, counterterrorism. [NOTE: Physical access to a site that would otherwise be within this exemption will follow normal site security procedures, including the applicable requirements of this Order.]

f. Unclassified information exchanges conducted by DOE employees and supporting laboratory and contractor personnel who are foreign nationals approved in FACTS under a specific DOE-related work assignment. These individuals can participate in virtual and in-person meetings, discussions, and phone calls with other DOE federal and contractor employees outside of their duty station to perform the duties specified in their FACTS assignment. [NOTE: Physical access to a site that would otherwise be within this exemption will follow normal site security procedures, including the applicable requirements of this Order.] g. Public events held on or off DOE sites. h. Certain activities within General Access Areas (GAA): (1) Personal visits. (2) Third-party events (i.e., not related to the DOE mission) hosted at the site. (3) Access by foreign national delivery, service, and vendor personnel (Note: Also exempt in other areas outside of GAA if fully escorted and compliant with other relevant security requirements). (4) Foreign nationals performing construction activities. i. Foreign national emergency response and medical personnel who require access for emergencies. j. Access by foreign nationals 17 years of age or younger who are involved in non- work-related activities. DOE O 142.3C Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only 3-31-2026 Page 1-3 k. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections, as defined in the “Agreement between the United States and the IAEA for the Application of Safeguards in the United States.” l. Mutual Defense Agreement (MDA) visits do not fall under this Order; MDA visits follow the applicable Administrative Arrangements and DOE O 470.1. 3. REQUIREMENTS. Foreign national access requests to DOE sites, information, or technologies will be reviewed based on all the information provided and any potential impacts on site or program operations. All access requests must include all applicable data elements outlined below and any additional information required by the Foreign Access Central Tracking System (FACTS). Access requests involving the following must not exceed two years continuous duration from the start date: requests by foreign nationals from countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List (SCL), to include State Sponsors of Terrorism (SST) Countries of Risk (COR) and Covered Foreign Nations (CFN)6; access requests to a physical security area more restrictive than a Property Protection Area (PPA); or access requests for sensitive subjects. In other situations, an approved access request must not exceed four years in continuous duration. For the purposes of this Order, continuous duration means a single uninterrupted period. However, access requests can only be valid for the duration of the lawful immigration status of the foreign national regardless of the length of the access request. If the foreign national requesting access has multiple country affiliations, the requirements are applied based on the country that has the most associated restrictions as identified in this Order based on country category (State Sponsor of Terrorism, Country of Risk, Covered Foreign Nation, or Other Designated Country). A determination of access approval is required before each access request is granted and must ensure that any identified risk to the Government associated with the access granted has been appropriately evaluated and mitigated, including a review against the Science and Technology (S&T) Risk Matrix. All access approvals must be made by U.S. citizens, are valid for the duration of access request, and must be documented in FACTS no later than the first day of access.

a. Access Request. Each foreign national access request must include the following items: (1) Identification of the information or technology(ies) to be accessed, and whether considered a sensitive subject as defined by this Order. (2) Identification of the area(s) (e.g., GAA, PPA) to be accessed for all physical access requests. (3) Justification for the requested access, including specific activities or involvement. 6 Refer to Section 4, subsection n for Prohibition on Admittance for Citizens or Agents of Covered Foreign Nations (CFN ) Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only DOE O 142.3C Page 1-4 3-31-26 (4) Identification of the DOE/NNSA program or sub-element and its mission advanced by the access. (5) Proposed start and end date of access request which cannot exceed the duration identified in paragraph 3 above (NOTE: Access requests can only be valid for the duration of the lawful immigration status of the foreign national regardless of the length of the access request). (6) The Required Data Elements in Attachment 3, as applicable. b. Supplemental Foreign National Access Questionnaire. A Supplemental Foreign National Access Questionnaire must be submitted and entered into FACTS in support of all foreign national access requests for individuals affiliated with SST or COR countries. The data fields for this questionnaire are defined in Attachment 3. c. Curriculum Vitae (CV). A CV must be provided for all non-SST and non-COR foreign nationals conducting research at laboratories and entered into FACTS. CVs must include all employment activities from the age of 18 years and provide all foreign national’s science and technology specialties. CVs must also include the current/accurate name of all academic institutions attended and all degrees/diplomas earned. There should be no lapses in time over the past 10 years. d. Foreign National Certification Statement. The DOE office or contractor responsible must provide the following statement to each foreign national who requires a curriculum vitae (CV) or equivalent document and is requesting access. This statement must be signed by the foreign national, certifying that all information provided is complete and accurate. I, [Full Name and Title], certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the information provided by me in a CV or equivalent document and related to my immigration status is true, complete, and accurate. I understand that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, misrepresentations, half-truths, or omissions of any material fact may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, and 1031 and 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733 and 3801-3812). I further understand and agree that (1) the statements and representations made herein are material to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) decision to provide access to DOE/NNSA sites, information or technology; and (2) I have a responsibility to update the information provided should circumstances change which impact such information. Signature: [Full Name and Title] Date: e. FACTS Data Entry and Updates. The Supplemental Foreign National Access DOE O 142.3C Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only 3-31-2026 Page 1-5 Questionnaire or CV, as required in 3.b and 3.c, respectively, must be entered in electronic form into the FACTS database. (1) The contractor shall require foreign nationals to provide information on changes in employment within 30 days of such a change.

(2) Prior to access being granted: If the contractor determines or becomes aware of additional information associated with the foreign national requesting access that is materially relevant to the risk-based process described in this CRD, the access request for such foreign national must not be approved until the additional information is considered as part of the review of the request for access. (3) After initial access is granted: If after initial access is granted, the contractor determines or becomes aware of additional information associated with the foreign national that is materially relevant to the risk-based process described in this CRD, the foreign national’s access must be reviewed based on that additional information and the contractor must determine within 30 days to either suspend, revoke, or continue the current access. If access is suspended, the contractor has 45 additional days to make a final decision to revoke or continue the access. (4) For the situations described in (2) and (3) above, the contractor shall consult with the cognizant office within the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence prior to making any final determinations. (5) To the extent that the contractor determines that any misrepresentation or omission described in (1), (2), or (3) above, was deliberate or intentional, the access for the foreign national may be denied or revoked. f. Site Security Plan (SSP). The SSP must include the requirements and procedures used to process foreign national access requests at the site. The SSP, as approved by the Officially Designated Federal Security Authority (ODFSA), must include requirements to ensure: (1) appropriate documentation describing the process for application of the exemptions listed in this Order, particularly the CRD exemption in paragraph 2.f allowing information exchanges with DOE employees and contractors outside of the individual’s duty station; (2) appropriate delegation of approval authority to the site management official or laboratory director, and any related procedures; (3) that appropriate export control and technology transfer reviews, and determinations of export license requirements, are conducted; (4) that nationals of state sponsors of terrorism (SST) do not host other foreign nationals; Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only DOE O 142.3C Page 1-6 3-31-26 (5) that nationals of countries of risk (COR) do not host other nationals of CFNs, CORs, SSTs or other designated countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List; (6) coordination with designated Counterintelligence (CI) and Intelligence (IN) elements; (7) site-specific subject matter expert (SME) reviews, escort, and host requirements; (8) that the span of control of an individual host is reasonable (e.g., limit on the number of foreign nationals being hosted by a single individual); and (9) that nationals of CFNs, CORs, SSTs, or other designated countries on the Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List may not serve as the direct supervisor to a cleared contractor employee, absent a waiver from the head of the cognizant HQ departmental or field element. g. Lawful Immigration Status, Citizenship, and Identity. Sufficient documentation of immigrant or nonimmigrant status, citizenship, and identity is required for all foreign nationals at DOE sites, facilities and laboratories to verify identity and authority to work (when applicable for the activities involved) and to ensure that the foreign national is eligible (in lawful immigration status, including those who have received Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status) to be in the

U.S. The lawful immigration status of foreign nationals must be valid for the duration of the access request. There is an exception for intermittent periods by foreign nationals entering the U.S. under the State Department Visa Waiver Program, temporarily for business or pleasure, or for Canadian citizens who do not require entrance visas. h. Assignment of Approval Authority. Approvals for foreign national access must be consistent with line management accountability requirements. Field Sites. Approval authority and accountability for foreign national access to a Departmental site and associated information or technology is the head of the cognizant field element for that site. The Head of the cognizant field element may make final approval determinations for access requests involving sensitive country nationals, non-sensitive country nationals, and nationals of SSTs that are lawful permanent residents (LPRs). The head of the cognizant field element may delegate approval authority to the site management official or laboratory director after demonstration of adequate procedures to handle these access requests. When the site management official or laboratory official is not a U.S. citizen, the head of the cognizant DOE field element may delegate approval authority and accountability to only an individual who is a U.S. citizen. All site or facility approval authorities must be defined in the SSP. DOE O 142.3C Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only 3-31-2026 Page 1-7 A site management official or laboratory director may reassign approval authority to other U.S. citizen employees within their organization. Further reassignment or delegation of approval authority is not allowed. A site management official or laboratory director must reassign or delegate approval authority in writing and document this action in the SSP. Site management officials and laboratory directors are accountable for all access approval decisions made by themselves or by those to whom they have delegated or reassigned approval authority. i. Country of Risk. Country of Risk foreign nationals’ access to certain restricted technology or information as identified in the Science and Technology (S&T) Risk Matrix must undergo an enhanced review process as described below in paragraphs (1)-(3). All proposed access requests in areas not identified as restricted in the S&T Risk Matrix can proceed with the access review and approval process as required by this Order.7 j. Requests for access to conduct research under a User Agreement at an Office of Science, Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, or Nuclear Energy User Facility at a non-NNSA DOE laboratory are exempt from the review requirements related to the S&T Risk Matrix discussed below. All other requirements of this Order apply to these access requests. (1) A request for access is reviewed by the site, in coordination with the Head of the cognizant DOE Field Element, to determine if the access request is in an area identified as restricted in the current S&T Risk Matrix before submitting the proposed access request through the standard access request review and approval process promulgated by this Order. When an access request is from a Country of Risk foreign national and in an area identified as restricted in the current S&T Risk Matrix, the cognizant DOE Field Element must agree to proceed with the enhanced review process. Absent this agreement the proposed access request is not pursued any further.

(2) When the Head of the cognizant DOE Field Element agrees to proceed with the enhanced review process, a justification and clear description of why the access request benefits the U.S. must be prepared. The access request must then be submitted through the appropriate Program Secretarial Officer (PSO) and Cognizant Secretarial Officer (CSO), with final approval/disapproval being provided by the cognizant Under Secretary or their designee. (3) Completion of specialized enhanced vetting conducted by the DOE Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence (IN) is required prior to final approval of the access request. A copy of the request, along with the required additional information, must be submitted to the cognizant local CI office to support the review. Indices checks will be conducted as part of the 7 A new review, based on the additional S&T Risk Matrix requirements, for individuals with existing access approvals at the time of publication of this Order is not required. These individuals will be assessed against the current S&T Risk Matrix requirements at the time of their next access authorization renewal. Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only DOE O 142.3C Page 1-8 3-31-26 specialized enhanced vetting process; therefore, it is recommended the request be submitted 45 days prior to the start date of the access request. (4) DOE may consider broad approvals for specific categories of these types of access requests, such as those supported under government-to-government agreements and in line with National Security Council policy guidance, to ensure existing priorities are not unduly impeded. These broad approvals will be determined by the cognizant Under Secretary or their designee in consultation with the cognizant DOE Program Office. k. Nationals of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Access requests for nationals of State Sponsors of Terrorism are subject to the absolute prohibition described in Section 4.n. Access requests for nationals of SSTs who are not LPRs require approval by the site approval authority before final approval determination. Final approval authority is held by the Secretary of Energy and can only be assigned to the Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, Under Secretary of Energy, or Under Secretary for Science. The Deputy Secretary or appropriate Under Secretary, in consultation with the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, will make the final approval determination for these access requests. Subsequent access requests extending currently approved and on-going access to a contractor site or laboratory may be approved by the contractor site or laboratory approval authority. For nationals of SSTs that are LPRs, final approval determination is at the site approval authority level. l. Indices Checks. Indices checks are coordinated by the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence and must be requested through the process of documenting access requests in FACTS. Indices checks are valid for a period of two years from the completion date, as documented in FACTS by the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. If the approved access request exceeds this two-year period, updated indices checks are automatically requested through FACTS prior to the current expiration date. (1) The following access requests require completed indices checks prior to the start of the foreign national access: (a) All access requests by nationals of SSTs and CORs.

(b) All access requests to a physical security area more restrictive than a Property Protection Area (PPA). (c) All access requests by all other sensitive country nationals to the DOE/NNSA national laboratories, sites, information, or technologies. [NOTE: The indices check for requests by other sensitive country nationals for access to conduct research under a User Agreement at an Office of Science, Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, or Nuclear Energy User Facility at a non-NNSA DOE O 142.3C Attachment 1 – CRD, Contractors Only 3-31-2026 Page 1-9 DOE laboratory can be completed after access is granted.] (d) All access requests for sensitive subjects. [NOTE: The indices check for access requests by non-sensitive nationals for sensitive subjects at sites with no classified work can be completed after access is granted.] (2) Indices checks are not required for non-sensitive country national access to non-sensitive subjects in a PPA or less restrictive areas. For access requests that require indices checks prior to the start of foreign national access, the request for indices checks must be documented in FACTS in sufficient time to complete the indices checks. It is recommended that the request be entered into FACTS at least 45 days prior to the start date of the request to ensure adequate time for completion of indices checks. For access requests that require indices checks to be completed before access is granted, the approval authority may request a CI consultation in lieu of completion of the indices checks. Such requests require approval from the head of the DOE field element and Senior Counterintelligence Officer (SCIO) and their agreement that there are exceptional or exigent circumstances justifying the request. A consultation may not be used for an access request that is for employment purposes. For requests involving nationals of SSTs or Country of Risk foreign national access to restricted technology or information as identified in the S&T Risk Matrix, CI consultations may not be utilized until 60 days after requests are documented in FACTS. CI consultations may not be employed as a standard alternative to indices checks. If there are valid indices checks for the foreign national documented in FACTS, the indices checks will be considered completed upon documentation of the request in FACTS using the existing FACTS biographical record for that foreign national. m. Documentation. FACTS is the Department’s official national database on unclassified foreign national access requests. Access to FACTS is limited to U.S. citizens. All required information regarding access requests that require documentation, as detailed in this Order, must be entered into FACTS. n. Closeout Information. Information documenting the final status of access requests must be entered into FACTS within 15 days after the last day access. This information includes the closeout status, closeout comments, and actual start and end dates for access that have taken place. Closeout statuses include: Completed, Canceled Before or After Approval, Denied, or No Show. SME reviews, when conducted in compliance with SSP requirements, must be documented in FACTS.
