organizational boundaries;
d. Enables trust in online transactions through common identity, credential, and
access management policies and approaches;
e. Establishes roles to enhance interoperability when collaborating with external
identity management activities; and
f. Establishes the credentialing requirements for federal and contractor employees of
the Department.
2. CANCELLATION. DOE O 206.2, Identity, Credential, and Access Management
(ICAM), dated 2-19-13. 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regulatory commitment is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer
applicable or substitute a new set of requirements.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 DOE Elements.
The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must
assure that NNSA employees comply with their responsibilities under this
directive. Nothing in this directive will be construed to interfere with the NNSA
Administrator’s authority under section 3212(d) of Public Law (P.L.) 106-65 to

pertaining to this Directive for activities under the Director's cognizance, as
deemed appropriate.
(2) Exemption. DOE information systems that are considered “national security
systems” as defined by 44 U.S.C. 3542(b)(2) are exempt from this Order.
4. REQUIREMENTS.
a. General.
Section 2
(1) DOE facilities and DOE information systems must meet the requirements
of Office of Management and Budget (OMB)M-19-17, which requires that
agency implementations align with the Federal Chief Information Officers
Council’s Federal Identity Credential Access Management (FICAM)
Roadmap and Implementation Guidance, and the FICAM Architecture and
Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM).
(2) DOE must procure services and products that comply with HSPD-12
requirements in current Federal Acquisition Regulations and, where
applicable, are on the General Services Administration (GSA) Approved
Products List.
b. Identity.
(1) Enterprise Identity Management Service. An enterprise identity
management service (EIMS) must be developed and offered as a
Department-wide service that:
3 DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
(a) Links authoritative sources of identity information on DOE
employees and contractor employees;
(b) Establishes a unique identity record for each DOE employee and
contractor employee;
(c) Provides DOE Elements a singular authoritative source for identity
information to conduct DOE business; and
(d) Supports the management of federated identity records from
trusted identity providers both internal and external to the Federal
Government.
(2) DOE Unique Identifier. All DOE employees and contractor employees
must have a DOE unique identifier that remains with the individual
forever. The DOE unique identifier must never be assigned to another
individual. Individuals must always have the same DOE unique identifier:
(a) No matter how often they join and separate from DOE;
(b) If they move to/and from Federal employee or contractor employee
status; or
(c) If they are employed by multiple contractors.
(3) Identity Information. Information about an individual’s identity should be
collected only once and maintained in an authoritative data source and
must be shared across DOE Elements through the EIMS.
(4) Identity Record. The identity record in the EIMS must contain a DOE
unique identifier and all identity information that is associated with DOE
employee or contractor employee.
(5) Authoritative Data Sources. Multiple authoritative data sources may
contain information that constitute an identity record for an individual.
(a) A registry of authoritative data sources must exist and be
maintained.
(b) Authoritative data sources must make available identity
information to the EIMS.
(c) A responsible entity must be identified to maintain each
authoritative data source.
(6) Lifecycle Management. Identity information must be established and
maintained by the DOE entity which is responsible for the accuracy of the
4 DOE O 206.2

information. The DOE unique identifier ensures that an individual only
has one identity record in EIMS.
(7) Enterprise Backend Attribute Exchange (BAE) Service. An enterprise
BAE service must be established and maintained that:
(a) Is compliant with the Federal guidance and specifications for BAE;
(b) Interfaces with other Federal Agency BAE service providers to
share DOE identity information with other Federal Agencies; and
(c) Provides DOE Elements a singular authoritative source for identity
information of other Federal Agencies to conduct DOE business.
c. Credentials.
Section 3
(1) HSPD-12 Credentials. HSPD-12 Credentials are the Federal identification
credentials that are compliant with National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201-
2, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and
Contractors, dated 8-2013, or its successor. [See Appendix A for further
information on Personal Identity Verification (PIV).] The terms “HSPD-
12 credentials” and “PIV cards” are used interchangeably within this
Order.
(a) DOE HSPD-12 credentials (PIV card) are the property of the U.S.
Government and must be recovered whenever an individual has
terminated employment or their security clearance status changes
or otherwise no longer requires a badge.
1 HSPD–12 Credentials must be issued to all Federal
employees and contractor employees who require long term
(greater than six months) physical access to DOE facilities
or information systems.
2 Issuance of HSPD-12 Credentials to DOE employees or
contractor employees who are employed or providing
services for less than 6 months must be based on a risk
analysis.
(b) Processes and procedures for the issuance of DOE HSPD-12
Credentials must be specified in the DOE PIV Card Issuer (PCI)
Operations Plan per NIST Special Publication 800-79-1,
Guidelines for the Accreditation of Personal Identity Verification
(PIV) Card Issuers (PCIs), dated 6-2008, or its successor. HSPD-
12 Credential role holders facilitate credential issuance,
maintenance, and lifecycle management.
5 DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
1 FIPS 201-2 specifies required separation of duties relative
to the HSPD-12 Credential issuance process.
2 DOE Implementation of HSPD-12 credential-related tasks
and assignment of roles will be defined in the PCI
Operations Plan.
3 Authorizing the issuance of HSPD-12 Credentials is a
Federal function.
(2) DOE Security Badges. The HSPD-12 Credential is the DOE security
badge. DOE O 473.1, Physical Protection Program, current version,
establishes requirements for usage of the DOE security badge.
(3) Other Government Agencies (OGA). HSPD-12 Credentials issued by
OGAs must be accepted for identification of individuals as though it was
issued by DOE. DOE shall not issue HSPD-12 Credentials to Federal
employees from OGAs that issue HSPD-12 Credentials, including the
Department of Defense (DoD), without approval from the Office of
Environment, Health, Safety and Security (EHSS).
(4) Other Badges. The issuance of other badges to include LSSO badges, is
specified in DOE O 473.1, current version.
d. Authentication and Authorization.
(1) Enterprise Access Management Service (EAMS). An enterprise access
management service must be developed and offered as a Department-wide
service that:
(a) Centralizes the authentication of individuals requiring access to
DOE information systems.
(b) Supports authentication credentials approved by the DOE Office of
the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), which includes, at a
minimum:
1 The DOE HSPD-12 Credential;
2 HSPD-12 Credentials from OGAs;
3 Personal Identity Verification Interoperability (PIV-I)
credentials; and
4 Federated identity credentials from identity providers
certified under the Trust Framework Provider Adoption
Process (TFPAP).
6 DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
(2) DOE Information Systems. DOE information systems must ensure that the
credential used for authentication meets the minimum level of assurance
(LOA) requirements, which are determined by conducting an electronic
authentication risk assessment per OMB M-04-04 in conjunction with a
FIPS-199 assessment.
Section 4
(a) New DOE Information Systems. New DOE information systems
must accept the following credentials if presented by the user and
the credential meets or exceeds the LOA of the system:
1 An HSPD-12 Credential for DOE employees and
contractor employees who possess an HSPD-12 Credential
as required by this Order;
2 An HSPD-12 Credential for Federal employees and
contractor employees from other government agencies;
3 A PIV-I credential; and
4 A federated identity credential from an identity provider
certified under the TFPAP.
(b) Existing DOE Information Systems. Existing DOE information
systems must be upgraded to accept the credentials in 4d(2)(a), as
appropriate, using the Risk Management Approach per DOE O
205.1, Department of Energy Cyber Security Program, current
version.
(c) System Specific Credentials. DOE information system owners may
issue and manage credentials for authentication ONLY when:
1 The individual does not possess or have access to one of
the credentials in 4d(2)(a); or
2 The DOE information system requires individuals to
authenticate with a credential in addition to the credentials
in 4d(2)(a).
(d) DOE Headquarters Information Systems. DOE Headquarters
information systems owned and operated by DOE Headquarters
Staff Offices or by contractors on behalf of DOE Headquarters
Staff Offices must use the EAMS for authentication.
7 DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
(3) DOE Facilities.
(a) Access control decisions are based on risk management principles
as required by the current versions of DOE O 473.1 and DOE O
470.4, Safeguards and Security Program.
(b) Access control processes must accept for authentication the
following credentials:
1 An HSPD-12 Credential for DOE employees and
contractor employees;
2 An HSPD-12 Credential for Federal employees and
contractor employees from other government agencies;
3 A PIV-I credential; and
4 Other badges to include LSSO badges, as specified in DOE
O 473.1, current version.
(c) Automated access control systems should obtain authoritative
data from the EIMS.
(d) DOE O 473.1, current version, contains the requirements for
access control systems.
(4) Background Investigations. This Order does not impose background
investigation requirements for authentication and authorization to DOE
facilities or DOE information systems.
(5) Authorization. Authorization to access a DOE facility or a DOE
information system is inherently a risk-based decision.
e. Privilege Management.
(1) DOE employees and contractor employees must have access to a DOE
information system and/or DOE facility:
(a) To which they are entitled for the performance of official duties;
and
(b) Only for the time period or duration in which they require it.
(2) Enterprise Privilege Management Service. An enterprise access privilege
service must be developed and offered as a Department-wide service that:
(a) Streamlines and automates the tasks associated with provisioning,
updating, and deprovisioning access to DOE facilities and
information systems that integrate with it; and
8 DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
(b) Streamlines and automates the issuance and maintenance of
HSPD-12 Credentials and other credentials covered in this Order.
f. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
(1) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates for authentication, encryption,
and signing operations must be issued by a PKI that operates in
compliance with the current X.509 Certificate Policy for the U.S. Federal
PKI Common Policy Framework where intra- and inter-agency
interoperability and trust is required.
Section 5
(2) A DOE PKI must be implemented as an enterprise service that:
(a) Is cross-certified or chained through an approved Shared Service
Provider (SSP) with the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy
Framework;
(b) Issues PKI certificates to DOE employees and contractor
employees where intra- and inter-agency interoperability and trust
is required; and
(c) Operates under the direction of the DOE PKI Policy Management
Authority (PMA).
(3) DOE Elements may implement internal (or local), site-specific PKIs to
satisfy local PKI requirements that do not require trust and interoperability
outside of site-specific locations. These local PKIs are not subject to the
direction of the DOE PKI PMA; however, local PKIs must adhere to the
Risk Management Approach per DOE O 205.1, current version, especially
with respect to non-repudiation.
g. Digital Signatures and Encryption.
(1) DOE Elements must enable use of the PKI certificates to digitally sign and
encrypt emails, business transactions, and relevant business documents in
those cases where digital signatures and/or encryption are required.
(2) Digital signatures should be created with HSPD-12 Credentials, when
practical.
h. PIV FILES. All documentation created in the PIV process will be retained in files
with unique file identification. PIV case files must be distinct from personnel
security (access authorization) files. When a PIV decision is linked to a personnel
security determination, the personnel security file (PSF) is only used for
documentation of the personnel security process, not the identity-proofing
process. The System of Record numbers for PIV files are DOE-63, Personal
Identity Verification files and GSA/GOVT-7 HSPD 12 USAccess.

u. X.509 Certificate Policy For The U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy Framework,
https://www.idmanagement.gov/docs/fpki-x509-cert-policy-common.pdf
7. DEFINITIONS.
a. Adjudicator: The Adjudicator is a federal employee delegated the duty to
review and adjudicate all federal employee and contractor background
investigations. The Adjudicator enters or updates the adjudication results for
applicants in the credential issuance system.
b. Applicant: An individual applying for an HSPD-12 Credential. The applicant
may be a current or prospective Federal hire or a Federal employee or an
applicant for employment with a DOE contractor or a current DOE contractor
employee.
c. Authentication: The process of verifying a person’s identity using a credential
(password, PIN, smartcard, badge, etc). The Physical Access community may
use the term “validate & verify” a credential, which is an equivalent operation.
d. Authoritative Data Source: A repository or system that contains identity
information about an individual and is considered to be the primary or most
reliable source for this information. In the case that two or more systems have
mismatched or conflicting data, the identity information within the authoritative
data source is considered to be the most accurate.
Section 9
e. Authorization: The processes of granting or denying specific requests for
obtaining and using information processing services or data and to enter specific
physical facilities. Once a person is authenticated, the system determines the
appropriate set of privileges (or access) for that individual.
f. DOE facility: A facility, which is owned (or leased) and operated by DOE or by
contractors on behalf of DOE, that is required by DOE O 473.1, current version,
to have access control.
g. DOE information system: An information system that is owned and operated
by DOE or by contractors on behalf of DOE to accomplish a Federal function.
Regardless of whether DOE Federal employees have access, this does not
include information systems operated by M&O contractors unless such systems’
primary purpose is to accomplish a Federal function.
h. HSPD-12 Credential: The HSPD-12 Credential is the Personal Identity
Verification Card (or PIV Card) as mandated by Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 12 (HSPD-12).
i. Issuer: The organization that is issuing the HSPD-12 Credential to an applicant.

j. Level of Assurance: As described in OMB M-04-04, level of assurance (or
LOA) is the degree of certainty that a credential used for authentication actually
refers to the identity of the person who is using the credential.
k. Personal Identity Verification Interoperability (PIV-I): PIV-I is a credential
that is issued to non-Federal entities per Personal Identity Verification
Interoperability for Non-Federal Issuers dated July 2010, to facilitate
interactions with Federal Government facilities and information systems.
l. Sponsor: The individual who substantiates the current, active DOE employment
status of the individual and the need for an HSPD-12 Credential to be issued to
an applicant, enters the applicant’s required biographical and sponsorship data
elements into the credential issuance system, and remains aware of the
applicant’s status and continuing need for holding an HSPD-12 Credential.

APPENDIX A: PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION (PIV)
This Appendix provides the credentialing standards and procedures to promote defined goals in
DOE eligibility determinations to issue HSPD-12 PIV credentials for access to federally
controlled facilities and information systems:1 the protection of the life, safety, property, or
health of employees, contractors, vendors or visitors to Federal facilities; the protection of the
Government’s physical assets, information systems, records, including privileged, proprietary,
financial or medical records; and the privacy of the individuals whose data the Government holds
in its systems.
1. DEFERRED PROCESSING. If an HSPD-12 Credential applicant is currently awaiting a
criminal hearing or trial; is awaiting or serving a form of pre-prosecution probation,
suspended or deferred sentencing, probation, or parole in conjunction with an arrest or
criminal charges for a crime that is punishable by imprisonment of 6 months or longer, or
has an outstanding warrant, the adjudicator may suspend further processing and notify the
sponsor of the cause. When the hearing, trial, criminal prosecution, suspended
sentencing, deferred sentencing, probation, or parole has been completed, the applicant
may be resubmitted to the identity proofing process to determine eligibility for an HSPD-
12 Credential.
Section 10
2. HSPD-12 ELIGIBILITY ADJUDICATION.
a. The credentialing standards (adjudicative guidelines) provided in the 2008 Final
Credentialing Standards and the 2016 PAC Memorandum, as clarified by the
2020 Credentialing Standards Procedures, and any future iterations of such
standards, must be applied to determine eligibility for an HSPD-12 PIV credential
for physical or logical access to federally controlled facilities and/or information
systems.
b. The following six standards must be applied when adjudicating an individual’s
eligibility for an HSPD-12 PIV credential which provides logical and/or
unescorted physical access. The six standards may also be used when
determining an individual’s suitability for other credentials, e.g., LSSO, which
provides logical and/or unescorted physical access. A PIV card will not be issued
to a person if:
(1) The individual is known to be, or reasonably suspected of being, a
terrorist;
(2) The individual’s claimed identity cannot be verified;
1 The term “federally controlled”, as it relates to facilities and information systems is defined in 48 Code of Federal
Regulations §2.101.
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only
Page A-2
DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
(3) There is a reasonable basis to believe2 that the individual has provided
fraudulent information concerning his or her identity;
(4) There is a reasonable basis to believe the individual will attempt to gain
unauthorized access to classified documents, information protected by the
Privacy Act, information that is proprietary in nature, or other sensitive or
protected information;
(5) There is a reasonable basis to believe the individual will use a PIV card
outside the workplace or inappropriately; or
(6) There is a reasonable basis to believe the individual will use federally
controlled information systems unlawfully, make unauthorized
modifications to such systems, corrupt or destroy such systems, or engage
in inappropriate uses of such systems.
c. Additionally, the following supplemental standards must be applied to the
adjudication of eligibility for individuals who do not require a suitability
determination or security clearance. DOE may consider denying or revoking a
PIV card to an individual based on one of these supplemental credentialing
standards.
(1) There is a reasonable basis to believe based on the individual’s
misconduct or negligence in employment, that issuance of a PIV card
poses an unacceptable risk;3
(2) There is a reasonable basis to believe based on the individual’s criminal or
dishonest conduct, that issuance of a PIV card poses an unacceptable risk;
(3) There is a reasonable basis to believe based on the individual’s material,
intentional false statement, deception, or fraud in connection with contract
employment, that issuance of a PIV card poses an unacceptable risk;
(4) There is a reasonable basis to believe based on the nature or duration of
the individual’s alcohol abuse without evidence of substantial
rehabilitation, that issuance of a PIV card poses an unacceptable risk;
(5) There is a reasonable basis to believe based on the nature or duration of
the individual’s illegal use of narcotics, drugs, or other controlled
2 A “reasonable basis to believe” occurs when a disinterested observer, with knowledge of the same facts and
circumstances, would reasonably reach the same conclusion.
Section 11
3 An "unacceptable risk" refers to a threat to the life, safety, or health of employees, contractors, vendors, or visitors;
to the Government's physical assets or information systems; to personal property; to records, including classified,
privileged, proprietary, financial, or medical records; or to the privacy of data subjects, which will not be tolerated
by the Government.
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013 Page A-3
substances without evidence of substantial rehabilitation, that issuance of a
PIV card poses an unacceptable risk;
(6) There is a statutory or regulatory bar that prevents the individual’s
contract employment; or would prevent federal employment under
circumstances that furnish a reasonable basis to believe that issuance of a
PIV card poses an unacceptable risk; or
(7) The individual has knowingly and willfully engaged in acts or activities
designed to overthrow the U.S. Government by force.
d. A new credentialing determination will be required if there has been a break in
service (or in a contractor’s association with Government contract work)
exceeding 24 months following the favorable adjudication of the previously
conducted investigation.
e. In the adjudication process, the adjudicator shall have the authority to obtain
additional information as may be deemed necessary to resolve possible issues of
concern pertaining to the applicant.
f. An Individual who has received an unfavorable national security eligibility
determination under E.O. 12968, Access to Classified Information, may undergo
an HSPD-12 eligibility determination if the individual’s employment is not
terminated due to the unfavorable information.4 The unfavorable national
security adjudication determination may be sufficient basis for non-issuance or
revocation of a PIV credential.
3. NON-UNITED STATES NATIONALS CREDENTIALING: The following
credentialing standards must be applied to non-U.S. nationals5 who work as employees or
contractors for Federal departments or agencies or others who require long-term logical
or physical access to Federal government facilities.
a. In circumstances where investigative standards cannot be met, a PIV must not be
issued.
b. Reciprocity rules do not apply to alternative identity credentials, e.g., alternative
credentials issued by another Federal agency when a PIV cannot be issued.
c. Non-U.S. national credentials must indicate the specific site to which the
individual is granted access. The site name must be printed on the credential; for
4 If an individual who otherwise meets these standards is found: 1) unsuitable for the competitive civil service under
5 CFR part 731, 2) ineligible for access to classified information under E.O. 12968, 3) disqualified from
appointment in the excepted service or from working on a contract, or 4) ineligible to hold a national security
sensitive position, the unfavorable decision may be a sufficient basis for non-issuance or revocation of a PIV card.
5 The term “United States national” includes both U.S. citizens and U.S. non-citizen nationals (i.e., American
Samoans).
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only
Page A-4
DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
the GSA USAccess credential, the site name must be placed in the Agency
Specific Data field.
d. Due to limitations that apply to the employment of non-U.S. nationals and the
ability to collect background investigation information in locations outside the
United States, special considerations apply when a PIV credential is needed for a
non-U.S. national.
Section 12
(1) The employment verification requirements for Non-U.S. national federal
employees or contractors are:
(a) Verify employment eligibility through E-Verify for non-U.S.
nationals living in the U.S.
(b) Verify immigration status through the United States Customs and
Immigration Service’s (USCIS) Systemic Alien Verification for
Entitlements (SAVE)6 system for non-U.S. nationals living in U.S.
territories (other than American Samoa).7
(2) The background investigation requirements for non-U.S. national federal
employees or contractors are dependent on the residency status and length
of time in the U.S. of the non-U.S. national.
(a) Non-U.S. nationals living in the U.S. or a U.S. Territory for three
or more years continuously and immediately preceding the start of
the Federal affiliation require a Tier 1 investigation or equivalent
after employment authorization or immigration status is verified.
(b) Non-U.S. nationals living in the U.S. or a U.S. Territory for less
than three continuous years preceding the start of the Federal
affiliation cannot be processed for a Tier 1 investigation. At the
Head of Departmental Element’s discretion, based on a risk
determination, an LSSO badge, may be issued until the employee
or contractor in question has resided for three years in the U.S. or
U.S. Territory. If an LSSO is issued; the following checks8 must be
completed:
6 https://www.uscis.gov/save
7 The U.S. territory of American Samoa is not included in the "United States" as defined by the Immigration and
Nationality Act, and therefore the DHS E-Verify and SAVE verification programs are unable to verify work
authorization or immigration status of individuals in American Samoa. Departmental elements should conduct
such background investigation as may be possible and appropriate under the circumstances in this territory.
8 The listed checks will provide limited results, does not constitute a Tier 1investigation, and will not be documented
as a Tier 1 investigation.

completed before an LSSO badge is issued;
2 FBI Investigations Files name check;
3 Terrorist Screening database name check;
4 USCIS check against SAVE system; and
5 Any additional checks deemed necessary by the
Department or Head of Departmental Element.
4. UNFAVORABLE PIV DETERMINATIONS.
a. For cases where the adjudicative process results in an unfavorable credentialing
determination, the adjudicating office must do the following:
(1) Within two working days of the determination, furnish the individual a
comprehensive written explanation of the basis for the denial or revocation
of PIV eligibility to the degree that the national security interests of the
United States and other applicable law permits;
(2) Afford the individual a response opportunity (written) and 30 days to
provide information or documentation that may refute or alleviate the
concerns; and
(3) Evaluate the individual’s response, and, if the concerns are not eliminated
or adequately addressed, notify the individual in writing of the final
unfavorable determination and apprise the individual of the appeals
process available to the individual as detailed below, including contact
information.
Section 13
b. Report unfavorable PIV eligibility determinations to the contract entity that
employs or seeks to employ the covered individual. While it is appropriate to
advise the contractor that an unfavorable PIV eligibility determination has been
made, it may not be appropriate to disclose additional information about the basis
for the determination.
5. PIV APPEAL PROCESS.
a. The identity verification appeal process does not interfere with DOE's discretion
to make suitability or access authorization (security clearance) determinations
either before or after a person has entered on duty.
b. Upon receipt of the adjudicator’s denial or revocation of HSPD-12 Credential
notice, an individual has ten working days to inform the adjudicator in writing, or
by electronic means (e.g., email), of the intent to file an appeal. The individual
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only
Page A-6
DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
may be represented and advised by counsel or a representative of the individual’s
choosing in the appeal process, at the individual’s expense.
c. The individual must file the actual written appeal with the adjudicator within 30
working days after notifying the adjudicator of intent to file. The appeal must be
submitted in writing and provide a response to the information that formed the
basis of the denial or revocation of the HSPD-12 Credential.
d. Upon receiving the individual’s notification of intent to file an appeal, the
adjudicator will notify the contract entity that employs or seeks to employ the
covered individual.
e. Upon receiving the individual’s notification of intent to file an appeal, the
adjudicator will identify and notify members of the appeal panel. The appeals
panel cannot include the individual who made the initial decision to deny or
revoke the PIV eligibility. The appeal panel will consist of three members, who
must be DOE employees who have been investigated to a level commensurate
with the person filing the appeal, as follows:
(1) A representative of the Departmental or Field Element having cognizance
over the site, appointed by the head of that element;
(2) A DOE attorney designated by the General Counsel; and
(3) A representative of the security office for the hiring site, appointed by the
head of the relevant Departmental or Field Element.
f. Upon receipt of the written appeal, the adjudicator prepares an appeal package for
each panel member consisting of a copy of all identity proofing documentation,
the background investigation, the notification of denial or revocation of the
HSPD-12 Credential providing the adjudicator’s rationale for denial or
revocation, and the written appeal of the individual.
g. Each panel member will review the package and within 30 working days respond
to the adjudicator in writing indicating either concurrence or nonconcurrence with
the denial or revocation of the HSPD-12 Credential decision. For any
nonconcurrence, the panel member will provide a brief rationale.
h. The decision of the appeal panel will be determined by simple majority of
concurrence or nonconcurrence. This decision is final. The adjudicator will
inform the appellant and sponsor of the appeal decision and, in those instances
where there is majority nonconcurrence with denial or revocation of the HSPD-12
Credential, the HSPD-12 Credential will be issued in accordance with the PCI
Operations plan.
6. TRANFERS FROM OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. DOE will accept PIV card
credentialing determinations made by other Federal agencies under the following
conditions:
Section 14
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013 Page A-7
a. The PIV eligibility determination was a favorably adjudicated final (not interim)
determination at the appropriate tier for the new position based on a completed
Tier 1 or equivalent or higher level of investigation;
b. There has been no break in service (or in a contractor's association with
Government contract work) exceeding 24 months following the favorable
adjudication of the previously conducted investigation; and
c. DOE is not in possession of any new information that calls into question the
person's eligibility for a PIV credential.”
7. SUSPENSION OF PIV ELIGIBILITY.
a. An individual’s PIV may be suspended (suspending an Active PIV credential and
associated access privileges granted by the credential) when DOE is in possession
of credible adverse information that a person may pose an unacceptable risk (to
the life, safety, property, or health of employees, contractors, vendors, or visitors
to a Federal facility; to the Government’s physical assets or information systems;
to records, including privileged, proprietary, financial, or medical records; or to
the privacy of the individuals whose data the Government holds in its systems),
and the nature of the risk must be assessed in accordance with the respective
organizations’ implementation guidance.
b. Credible adverse information must be referred for other action as necessary and
appropriate and in a timely manner, including referral to the Office of Inspector
General, as appropriate, pursuant to DOE O 221.1, Reporting Fraud, Waste and
Abuse to the Office of Inspector General, current version. Appropriate referrals
could be to local law enforcement, a Local Insider Threat Working Group, a
physical security office, a counterintelligence office, or the FBI, depending on the
circumstances.
c. When information is received that suggests the person presents an imminent risk
to facilities or information systems or a danger to the occupants and visitors to a
facility or to the public, immediate action must be taken to retrieve the PIV
credential from the credential holder if the nature of the risk permits.
Additionally, the technical features of the credential that enable access to facilities
and information systems must be revoked and the individual denied access to
facilities and information systems until resolution of the issue.
The following examples describing information about a covered individual
derived from self-reporting or third-party reporting may warrant immediate
suspension of credentials. They are provided for illustrative purposes and are not
intended to be exhaustive. They do not replace the measured judgment and
consideration of all circumstances surrounding the issue.
(1) Known or reasonable suspicion of terrorist activities or involvement.
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only
Page A-8
DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013
(2) Known or reasonable suspicion of activities demonstrating that the
individual has used or intends to use his or her PIV credential or credential
tokens to permit access to a Government facility or information system to
do harm or permit others to do harm to the facility, its occupants, or its
systems.
(3) Known activities, or reasonable suspicion or threat of activities, designed
to corrupt, destroy, or otherwise affect the operating status and availability
of critical Government information systems.
Section 15
(4) Gaining, attempting to gain, or assisting others in their efforts to gain
unauthorized access to classified documents, information protected by the
Privacy Act, information that is proprietary in nature, or other sensitive or
protected information with intent to compromise the information, commit
identity fraud, or to otherwise use the information in a malicious or
harmful way.
(5) Violent actions or the threat of violent actions at a Federal workplace.
(6) Bringing, or attempting to bring, an unauthorized weapon into a Federal
workplace.
(7) The covered individual’s expression of his or her intent to harm or kill him
or herself or others.
(8) The covered individual’s behavior or statements that allow a reasonable
inference that he or she intends to harm him or herself or others.
d. When the risk is not deemed to be imminent, but there is a reasonable basis to
believe there may be an unacceptable risk due to issues that potentially impact the
individual’s eligibility for a PIV credential, discretion exists to determine if the
PIV credential and all associated technical features enabling access to facilities
and information systems should be suspended or if the individual should retain
access until the matter is fully resolved.
e. Derogatory information that results in the suspension of PIV eligibility must also
result in the appropriate suspension (or if suspension is not available, the
revocation) of the access to physical facilities and information systems.
(1) When possible and advisable, all available information should be
reviewed, including, but not limited to the PIV credential holder’s
explanation, before deciding to suspend (or revoke) the PIV credential.
However, there is no requirement to do so if, the delays created by this
review would increase risk. The decision maker should err on the side of
caution and safety and suspend or revoke the PIV credential if credible
information is received that there is an imminent risk or danger.
Appendix A – Federal Employees Only DOE O 206.2
2-19-2013 Page A-9
(2) Site-specific procedures to issue emergency notifications when imminent
risk calls for immediate suspension or revocation must be established.
(3) The suspension or revocation steps are particularly important if the
credential cannot be safely recovered from the credential holder.
Suspension or revocation protocols must be developed for circumstances
when a PIV credential eligibility is to be suspended. The protocols must
be designed to effectuate an immediate suspension or revocation of the
card’s functionalities, to include physical, logical, and derived accesses.
f. Regardless of the means used to suspend or revoke the PIV card, the following
must be accomplished in a timely manner to mitigate the unauthorized use of the
card:
(1) Whenever possible, collect and secure the PIV credential.
(2) Immediately alert all access points at the sponsoring Federal facility (and
any other facilities where the individual has been granted access) that the
PIV credential and credential tokens have been suspended; provide a
physical description or picture of the person when there may be an
imminent risk or safety concern, if possible.
(3) Terminate any existing access privileges to IT systems and applications,
including remote access.
(4) Report the individual’s PIV credential eligibility as “suspended” in
USAccess, Central Verification System (CVS),9 or successor data system,
as applicable. The USAccess application is the authoritative source for
identifying and executing suspensions and terminations of all PIV
credentials.
Section 16
(5) As appropriate, notify and coordinate with Local Insider Threat Working
Groups and/or Federal and local law enforcement offices through
established channels, and notify and coordinate with the Office of
Inspector General, as appropriate, pursuant to DOE O 221.1, current
version.
(6) The derogatory information that resulted in suspension of the credential is
reportable for national security eligibility or counterintelligence reasons as
follows:
(a) If the person in question occupies a sensitive position, notify the
office which is responsible for determining national security

eligibility, as appropriate, as well as the Local Insider Threat
Working Group.10
(b) If the person in question occupies a non-sensitive position, the
underlying derogatory information will dictate whether
counterintelligence and/or insider threat authorities should be
notified.11
(7) When suspending PIV eligibility of contractor employees, the contracting
company must be notified of the suspension. While it is appropriate to
advise the contractor that a suspension has occurred, it may not be
appropriate to disclose additional information about the basis for the
determination.

PIV credentials (where applicable in accordance with OPM requirements) are
DOE’s primary means of identification and authentication to Federal information
systems and Federally controlled facilities and secured areas by Federal
employees and contractors.
b. HSPD-12 Credentials. HSPD-12 Credentials are the Federal identification
credentials that are compliant with National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201-2,
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, dated
8-2013, or its successor. Contractor employees requiring an HSPD-12 Credential
are subject to Personal Identity Verification (PIV) by DOE.
(1) This Order establishes the requirement for issuance of PIV to federal
employees and contractors.
(a) Local implementation of the requirements under the DOE
authorization to issue PIV credentials using the DOE provider,
USAccess, may be performed by an M&O contractor.
(b) An M&O contractor may serve as the sponsor for M&O staff and
subcontractors for a PIV credential.
Section 17
(2) HSPD–12 Credentials must be issued to all Federal employees and
contractor employees who require long term (greater than six months)
physical access to DOE facilities or information systems.
(3) Issuance of HSPD-12 Credentials to DOE employees or contractor
employees who are employed or providing services for less than 6 months
is at the discretion of the Lead Program Secretarial Officer (LPSO) and
based on a risk analysis.
