The Contractor Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 2, sets forth
requirements of this Order that will apply to contractors responsible for
the management and operation of Department-owned facilities (hereafter
referred to as site/facility management contractors) whose contracts
include the CRD.
This CRD must be included in all site/facility management contracts that
contain the clause at 48 CFR 952.204-2, Security. This Order does not
automatically apply to other than site/facility management contracts.

Application of any of the requirements of this Order to other than
site/facility management contracts will be communicated separately from
this Order. (See paragraph 5., Responsibilities.)
The officials identified in paragraph 5., Responsibilities, are responsible
for notifying contracting officers of which contracts are affected. Once
notified, contracting officers are responsible for incorporating the CRD
into affected contracts through the laws, regulations, and DOE directives
clause of the affected contracts.
As the laws, regulations, and DOE directives clause of site/facility
management contracts states, regardless of the performer of the work, the
site/facility management contractors with the CRD incorporated into their
contracts are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the
CRD.
Affected site/facility management contractors are responsible for
flowing down the requirements of the CRD to subcontracts at any
tier to the extent necessary to ensure the site/facility management
contractors’ compliance with the requirements.
Contractors must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down
requirements to subcontractors. That is, contractors will:
Section 2
ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with the
requirements of the CRD; and
2
incur only costs that would be incurred by a prudent person
in the conduct of competitive business.
c.
Exclusions. Consistent with the responsibilities identified in Executive Order
12344, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, dated 2-1-82, the Director, Naval
Nuclear Propulsion Program, will determine the applicability of this Order for
activities and facilities under his control.
4. REQUIREMENTS. The broad-based requirements for implementing this Order are
listed below with elaboration provided in associated chapters. Additionally, there may be
instances where security incidents are required to be reported through other department
reporting systems (e.g., cyber, Occurrence Reporting and Processing System).

CHAPTER I. IDENTIFICATION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. GENERAL.
a.
(1)
(2)
b.
c.
A system of controls and procedures must be developed, approved, implemented,
enforced, and maintained:
Section 7
to deter, detect, and prevent incidents of security concern;
for the timely identification and notification of, inquiry into, analysis of,
and reporting of incidents of security concern.
Inquiries must be used to determine the root causes and individuals responsible
for incidents of security concern.
All discussions and documents associated with an incident of security concern
must be classified or controlled according to current classification or control
guidance and following procedures contained in appropriate Department of
Energy (DOE) directives.
2. INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION AND CATEGORIZATION. DOE uses a graded
approach for identification and categorization of incidents of security concern. This
approach provides a framework for the requirements of reporting timelines and the level
of detail for inquiries into and root cause analysis of specific security incidents. By
establishing a graded approach, line management can effectively allocate the resources
necessary to implement this Order based on the severity of security incidents. The
following paragraphs provide the basis for identification and categorization of incidents
of security concern.
a. Incident Identification. Incidents of security concern are actions, inactions, or
events that have occurred at a site that:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
pose threats to national security interests and/or critical DOE assets,
create potentially serious or dangerous security situations,
potentially endanger the health and safety of the workforce or public
(excluding safety related items),
degrade the effectiveness of the safeguards and security program, or
adversely impact the ability of organizations to protect DOE safeguards
and security interests.
CANCELE
D
I-2 DOE O 471.4
3-17-04
b. Incident Categorization. Incidents of security concern are categorized in
accordance with their potential to cause serious damage or place safeguards and
security interests and activities at risk. Four categories of security incidents have
been established based on the relative severity of the incident. Each of the four
categories is identified by an impact measurement index (IMI) number as follows
(from most severe to least severe): IMI-1, IMI-2, IMI-3, and IMI-4. Each of the
four categories is further subdivided into specific subcategories based on the
security topical areas of physical security, protective forces, information security,
personnel security, and nuclear material control and accountability. The
categorization of specific security incidents occurs at the time the security
incident is discovered. The categorization of specific security incidents can
change based on information developed during the inquiry into the incident.
c. Impact Measurement Index (IMI). The IMI number is used to identify, trend, and
evaluate each security incident or combination of incidents. (Specific information
to be used to categorize incidents of security concern is contained in Table 1
through Table 4; however, the IMI subcategories contained in these tables are not
all inclusive and if they overlap, the more stringent reporting category will apply.)
The basis for each IMI category is provided below.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
IMI-1. Actions, inactions, or events that pose the most serious threats to
national security interests and/or critical DOE assets, create serious
security situations, or could result in deaths in the workforce or general
public. [See Table 1, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 1 (IMI-1).]
Section 8
IMI-2. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to national security
interests and/or critical DOE assets or that potentially create dangerous
situations. [See Table 2, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 2 (IMI-2).]
IMI-3. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to DOE security
interests or that potentially degrade the overall effectiveness of the
Department’s safeguards and security protection program. [See Table 3,
Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security Concern, Impact
Measurement Index 3 (IMI-3).]
IMI-4. Actions, inactions, or events that could pose threats to DOE by
adversely impacting the ability of organizations to protect DOE safeguards
and security interests. [See Table 4, Reportable Categories of Incidents of
Security Concern, Impact Measurement Index 4 (IMI-4).]

DOE assets, create serious security situations, or could result in deaths in the workforce or general public.
DOE O 151.1B, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, dated 10-29-03, and facility emergency
management plans may require more stringent reporting times for IMI-1 type incidents than listed here. Shorter
reporting times should be determined on an individual incident basis and applied accordingly.

3. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
a. 24-hour Determination/Categorization Period. When an incident is suspected to
have occurred, the facility where the incident occurred has 24 hours to examine
and document all pertinent facts and circumstances to determine whether an
incident has occurred. (See Figure 1, Incidents of Security Concern.) During this
period, the suspected incident must be categorized by an IMI number. If it is
determined that an incident of security concern did not occur, no further action is
required.
b. Initial Incident Reporting. Incidents of security concern initial reports for IMI-1,
IMI-2, and IMI-3 (as well as those for IMI-4 involving foreign nationals, per
paragraph 3.d. below) will be sent to the DOE HQ Operations Center (OC) using
DOE F 471.1, “Security Incident Notification Report,” in accordance with locally
developed procedures approved by the responsible element. Initial security
incident reports will be forwarded based on the following criteria.
(1)
(2)
c.
Within 1 hour following categorization for security incidents determined
to be IMI-1 (see Table 1), the originating site/facility will transmit a DOE
F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC. If a verbal notification of the incident is
made to the DOE HQ OC, a follow-up transmission of the DOE F 471.1 to
the DOE HQ OC must be made.
Within 8 hours following categorization of security incidents determined
to be IMI-2/IMI-3 (see Tables 2 and 3), the originating site will transmit a
DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC. If a verbal notification of the incident
is made to the DOE HQ OC, a follow-up transmission of the DOE F 471.1
to the DOE HQ OC must be made.
Reporting Incidents Receiving Media Attention. In addition to the IMI reporting
time frames, the Office of Security must be notified within 8 hours of any security
incidents that have been or will be reported in the media. The initial DOE F 471.1
and any subsequent updates must clearly identify the fact of media reporting.
d. Reporting Incidents Associated with Foreign Nationals. Security incidents having
any association with foreign nationals will be clearly identified and reported on
the initial DOE F 471.1 and subsequently in any related update or follow-on
activity pertaining to the incident, including incidents categorized as IMI-4. For
security incidents involving any credible information that a foreign national or an
agent of a foreign power is involved, the closest element of the Office of
Counterintelligence (OCI)/Office of Defense Nuclear Counterintelligence
(ODNCI) will be notified.
e. Numbering Incidents and Changing Categories. When the initial incident report
(i.e., DOE F 471.1) is transmitted, it is to include a local incident tracking
number. All subsequent reports pertaining to a security incident (e.g., inquiry and
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 I-9
3-17-04
other related activities) will be transmitted to the Office of Security. Changes in
IMI categorizations require resubmission of a DOE F 471.1 to the Office of
Security.
f. Reporting Incidents Associated with Sensitive Programs. Only the initial DOE
Section 13
F 471.1 will be required for incidents involving activities associated with sensitive
programs. These programs will include the Sensitive Compartmented
Information (SCI) Program, Special Access Programs (SAPs), Technical
Surveillance Countermeasures Program, Counterintelligence Program, or other
programs identified by the Office of Security. All subsequent reporting will be
handled “within channels” until such time as the inquiry report has been
distributed. The date of the inquiry report will be transmitted to the Office of
Security for database entry.
g. Closing Inquiries.
(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the
inquiry report. The inquiry report must be completed within 60 working
days of the incident categorization or a status report must be provided in
accordance with paragraph 3.k.(1), below.
(2)
(3)
(4)
h.
IMI-3 incidents are considered closed upon completion of DOE F 5639.3,
“Report of Security Incident/Infraction” (except for completing the section
on assignment and acceptance of the security infractions), transmission of
the completed DOE F 5639.3 to the Office of Security, and completion of
actions required in local procedures.
IMI-4 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the DOE
F 5639.3 or associated local procedures.
A sanitized (unclassified) copy of the DOE F 5639.3 will be provided to
the local personnel security office for placement in the appropriate
personnel security file.

i. Office of Security Monthly Incident Summary Report. By the 10th working day
of each month, the Office of Security will e-mail a summary status report of the
previous month’s recorded incidents and inquiries to field element/facility
incident points of contact and Primary DOE Organizations.
(1) New closures during the current month and all open incidents will be
reflected in the monthly update.
(2) These monthly updates will be used to ensure the Office of Security and
the field elements maintain accurate, coordinated, and reconciled
incident/inquiry status information.
j. Status/Summary Reports.
(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2. A monthly status report will be provided to the Office
of Security and the Primary DOE Organization for IMI-1 and IMI-2
incidents that have not been closed within 60 working days of notification
of the incident.
(a)
(b)
(2)
Status reports will consist of the original DOE F 471.1, completed
and planned actions, identification of issues precluding closure,
and estimated date of closure.
Status reports are due by the fifth working day of each month.
IMI-3. Status reports are not required for IMI-3 incidents.
(3) IMI-4. Each facility will maintain a compilation of IMI-4 incidents by
month. These monthly summaries, which will contain the number of open
and closed security incidents by IMI-4 subtopic, the total initiated for the
calendar month, and a running total of open and closed incidents for the
calendar year, will be provided to the Office of Security. If no reportable
incidents occurred during the calendar month, a summary stating this will
be forwarded to the Office of Security by the fifth working day of each
month.
k. Separate but Related Reporting.
(1) Occurrence Reporting Processing System. To eliminate reporting
redundancy and centralize the reporting of security-related occurrences, all
occurrences previously reported within the “Group 5—Safeguards and
Security” category once contained in cancelled DOE M 232.1-1A,
Occurrence Reporting and Processing of Operations Information, dated
7-21-97, are now incorporated into this Order. Because an event meets the
criteria for reporting as an incident of security concern does not negate the
responsibility to report it as an occurrence under DOE O 231.1A,
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 I-13
3-17-04
Environment, Safety, and Health Reporting, dated 8-19-03 (i.e., event
affects both safety and security).
DOE O 151.1B, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, dated
10-29-03. Incidents that are reportable under the provisions of DOE
O 151.1B must continue to be reported in accordance with the Order.
Reporting procedures for DOE incidents of security concern do not alter
DOE O 151.1B requirements.
Section 15
(2)
(3) Flash Reporting. National Nuclear Security Administration “Flash
Reporting” procedures are not affected by Departmental incidents of
security concern reporting requirements.
(4) Special Reporting Situations. Under certain circumstances, related
incidents of security concern, that are anticipated to recur over a long
period of time, may be consolidated into single monthly reports. This
situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis between the site, the
responsible Primary DOE Organization, and the Office of Security.
Specific plans for this reporting process will be developed by the site and
submitted through the responsible Primary DOE Organization to the
Office of Security.
l. Documenting Corrective Actions. Corrective actions identified in response to an
incident of security concern must be documented. For incidents categorized as
IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of the documentation must be forwarded to the
Office of Security if this information is not included in the inquiry report.
Documentation on corrective actions for IMI-4 incidents does not have to be
forwarded to the Office of Security.
m. Reporting to Congress. Section 3150 of the Defense Authorization Act requires
the Secretary of Energy to notify the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and House of Representatives of each “significant nuclear defense
intelligence loss.” A “significant nuclear defense intelligence loss” is defined in
the Defense Authorization Act as “any national security or counterintelligence
failure or compromise of classified information at a facility of the Department or
operated by a contractor of the Department that the Secretary considers likely to
cause significant harm or damage to the national security interest of the United
States.”
(1)
(2)
The Department regards the loss or compromise (i.e., disclosure of
classified information to unauthorized persons) of Top Secret information;
SCI; SAP information; and Weapons Data Sigmas 1, 2, 14, and 15 as
reportable under Section 3150.
Within 30 days of discovery of Section 3150 reportable incidents, the
Office of Security, after consultation with the Director, Central
CANCELE
D
I-14 DOE O 471.4
3-17-04
Intelligence, and the Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), must
provide notification to Congress.
4. INQUIRY OFFICIALS.
a.
b.
(1)
Inquiry officials will conduct inquiries to establish the pertinent facts and
circumstances surrounding incidents of security concern.
Inquiry officials may be either Federal or contractor employees but must have
previous investigative experience or Department inquiry training and must be
knowledgeable of appropriate laws, Executive orders, Departmental directives,
and/or regulatory requirements.
Contractors may conduct inquiries into incidents of security concern;
however, if a violation of law is determined or suspected or the inquiry
establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power
is involved, the contractor must stop further inquiry actions and notify the
cognizant Departmental safeguards and security office, which will assume
further notification and reporting responsibilities, to include coordination
with OCI/ODNCI. In such instances, the contractor must document the
known circumstances surrounding the incident of security concern and
submit all accumulated data to the cognizant Departmental safeguards and
security office.
(2)
(3)
(4)
c.
d.
Section 16
In all instances where the cognizant Departmental safeguards and security
office disagrees with the contractor report, the cognizant Departmental
safeguards and security office assumes supplemental inquiry
responsibilities.
When the inquiry into an incident of security concern necessitates
communication with Agencies/organizations external to the Department
(e.g., the U.S. Postal Service, the FBI, or other Federal agencies), a
Federal employee must be responsible for performing all such
communication.
Contact with Federal, state, and local law enforcement officials may be
made by contractors with the written concurrence of the head of the field
element.
Inquiry officials are not authorized to detain individuals for interviews nor to
obtain sworn statements; however, they may conduct consensual interviews and
obtain signed statements.
Inquiry officials must be appointed in writing by the head of the field element, the
head of the Office of Headquarters Security Operations, or the Office of Security.
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 I-15
3-17-04
e. Inquiry officials are responsible for conducting the inquiry and maintaining
records and documentation associated with the inquiry (e.g., logs of events, notes,
recordings, and statements).
f. When inquiry officials discover suspected or confirmed violations of law, they
will immediately notify the Office of Security.
5. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
If a violation of law has occurred and the preservation of evidence requires the
immediate notification of Federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies (e.g.,
theft of special nuclear material, homicide, assault, location or detonation of an
explosive device), the cognizant DOE safeguards and security office will perform
all necessary referrals and notifications, including notification to the Office of
Security. The Office of Security will notify the HQ elements of all appropriate
Federal agencies, including the FBI.
Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency personnel requiring access to
limited areas or higher for investigative actions must be escorted, have a current
access authorization passed to DOE, or possess an active DOE access
authorization. Such personnel will be approved for access to classified matter
only if they possess the appropriate access authorization, the matter directly
pertains to the investigation, and appropriate programmatic approvals have been
granted if such approvals are required. Access to Restricted Data and Formerly
Restricted Data will require a DOE Q or L or appropriate access authorization.
When authorized and approved Federal, state, or local law enforcement personnel
are given access to classified information, they will be immediately advised of the
classification level and category. They will also be informed of the protection and
control requirements associated with the classified information they possess.
When an inquiry establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a
foreign power is involved, the Office of Security must immediately notify
OCI/ODNCI, which in turn will notify the FBI in accordance with 50 U.S.C.
402a.
When an inquiry surrounding an incident of security concern establishes
information indicating that fraud, waste, or abuse has occurred, the Office of the
Inspector General must be notified for information and/or action.
Section 17
The cognizant DOE safeguards and security office must make arrangements for
the issuance of standard DOE security badges, the granting of access to classified
information, and any other necessary agreements or items requested or required
by Federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies involved in investigations.

assigned to an individual rather than to a position or office.
When individual responsibility cannot be established and the facts show
that a responsible official allowed conditions to exist that led to an
incident of security concern, responsibility must be assigned to the
official.
Security infractions are issued to document the assignment of
responsibility for an incident of security concern. Individuals who do not
possess an access authorization may be issued a security infraction.
Corrective actions taken in response to incidents of security concern must be
documented, and for incidents categorized as IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of
the documentation must be forwarded to the Office of Security. Documentation
of corrective actions for IMI-4 incidents does not have to be forwarded to the
Office of Security.
Section 20
A copy of Part 1 of DOE F 5639.3 or similar form will be placed in the
employee’s DOE personnel security file. If an employee does not have an access
authorization, it will be placed in his/her personnel file.
9. RECORDS RETENTION.
a.
b.
Records pertaining to incidents of security concern cannot be sent to Federal
Records Centers.
Records must be dispositioned in accordance with an applicable General Records
Schedule, published by the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA), or in accordance with a DOE Records Disposition Schedule approved
by NARA, whichever is applicable.

CHAPTER II. INCIDENTS OF SECURITY CONCERN INVOLVING
COMPROMISE OR POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
1. INQUIRIES INTO COMPROMISE OF, POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF, OR
MISSING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. The following requirements are in addition
to those contained in Chapter I of this Order. Inquiry officials will perform, but not
necessarily be limited to, the following actions.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
(1)
(2)
Query custodians and others having knowledge of the incident. When necessary,
records must be audited for evidence of destruction, transmission, or other
disposition.
Ensure a DOE F 5639.2, or a form comparable in content, is completed if
classified information is missing.
Determine which Primary DOE Organization has programmatic responsibility for
the information or whether the information was originated by another
Government agency or foreign government.
Determine whether a compromise or potential compromise occurred. If there was
a potential compromise, seek to determine the probability of compromise.
Document the basis for such findings (i.e., potential compromise is defined as an
incident of security concern where circumstances exist that cannot rule out the
compromise of classified information).
If an inquiry determines that a compromise or potential compromise has occurred,
document the extent of the dissemination of the classified information and the
actions taken to prevent further dissemination.
When an inquiry establishes that classified information has been compromised by
being published in the media, the questions contained in the Department of Justice
Eleven-Point Criteria, which are listed below, must be answered and coordinated
with the Office of Security. When completing the questions, provide all
documentation and appropriate information to support affirmative responses.
Each question must be answered affirmatively before the Department of Justice
will initiate a formal investigation into the compromise; however, failure to
affirmatively answer all the Department of Justice criteria does not preclude the
Department of Justice from pursuing administrative or criminal action.
Could the date and identity of the article or articles disclosing the
classified information be provided?
Could specific statements in the article that are considered classified be
identified? Was the data properly classified?
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4
3-17-04
II-2
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
Is the classified data that was disclosed accurate? If so, provide the name
of the person competent to testify concerning the accuracy.
Did the data come from a specific document, and, if so, what is the origin
of the document and the name of the individual(s) responsible for the
security of the classified data disclosed?
Section 21
Could the extent and official dissemination of the data be determined?
Has it been determined that the data has not been officially released in the
past?
(7) Has it been determined that prior clearance for publication or release of
the information was not granted by proper authorities?
(8) Does review reveal that educated speculation on the matter cannot be
made from material, background data, or portions thereof which have been
published officially or have previously appeared in the press?
(9)
(10)
Could the data be made available for the purpose of prosecution? If so,
include the name of the person competent to testify concerning the
classification.
Has it been determined that declassification had not been accomplished
prior to the publication or release of the data?
(11) Will disclosure of the classified data have an adverse impact on the
national defense?
2. DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. Damage assessments determine potential damage to
national security when classified information has been compromised or potentially
compromised. Damage assessments are conducted by security personnel to evaluate
possible countermeasures and document actions to limit potential damage. The Primary
DOE Organization will use the damage assessment to determine future courses of action
within the program. Additionally, damage assessments are used by appropriate
authorities when criminal prosecution is sought. Classification policy staff use damage
assessments to revise classification guidance, if appropriate. Damage assessments will be
conducted when:
a.
b.
inquiries disclose evidence that classified information, Weapons Data (Sigmas 1,
2, 14, and 15), SCI, or SAP data have been compromised or potentially
compromised;
analysis reveals similar information has been compromised frequently or when
the information has been compromised to a wide audience (e.g., public media,
international conference, Internet);
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 II-3
3-17-04
c.
d.
a violation of laws appears to have occurred and criminal prosecution is
contemplated; or
the Primary DOE Organization determines one is necessary.
3. CONDUCT OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS. The Primary DOE Organization with
programmatic responsibility for the compromised or potentially compromised classified
information must designate, in writing, a Federal employee responsible for conducting
the damage assessment. He/she must also appoint an assessment team consisting of a
derivative classifier and appropriate technical experts (e.g., experts in weapons design,
nuclear policy, material production communications, intelligence, counterintelligence) to
assist in assessing the value of the compromised information to foreign governments
and/or hostile organizations.
4. PROCEDURES. The following procedures must be followed for all Departmental
damage assessments.
a.
b.
c.
d.
The originator of the compromised information must provide the cognizant
Departmental safeguards and security office with a copy of the compromised or
potentially compromised information, if available. If no other copy exists, the
originator must provide a detailed description of the compromised information.
The originator must coordinate with a derivative classifier to confirm the
classification level and category of the compromised information according to
current classification guidance and policy. The derivative classifier provides the
basis from the classification determination (i.e., classification guide used).
Section 22
The team performing the damage assessment must prepare a draft assessment and
coordinate it with the originator of the compromised or potentially compromised
information.
The damage assessment must be approved by the Primary DOE Organization with
programmatic responsibility for the compromised or potentially compromised
information, and at a minimum, copies will be submitted to the Director, Office of
Security and the cognizant Departmental safeguards and security office
responsible for the inquiry. The Director, Office of Security will coordinate with
the Primary DOE Organization and distribute additional copies as appropriate.
5. CONTENT OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENT REPORTS. Damage assessment reports
must contain the following information at a minimum:
a.
b.
identification of the source, date, and circumstances of the compromise or
potential compromise;
classification of the specific information compromised or potentially
compromised;
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4

description of the specific information compromised or potentially compromised;
analysis and statement of the known or probable damage to national security that
has resulted or may result;
assessment of the possible advantage to foreign governments and/or hostile
organizations as a result of the compromise or potential compromise;
recommendation to Information Classification Control Policy regarding whether
specific information or parts thereof must be:
modified to minimize or nullify the effects of the reported compromise or
potential compromise and the classification retained, or
downgraded, declassified, or upgraded;
assessment of whether countermeasures are appropriate and feasible to negate or
minimize the effect of the compromise or potential compromise; and
assessment of other appropriate corrective, administrative, disciplinary, or legal
actions.
6. COMBINING SIMILAR INCIDENTS. Damage assessments may be completed for a
group of similar incidents when such grouping is a logical method of meeting this
requirement. A logical grouping includes a situation where multiple matters requiring a
damage assessment are related to a programmatic area and would result in the same or
similar damage to national security or advantage to foreign governments and/or hostile
organizations.
7. CASES INVOLVING OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY INFORMATION.
Whenever a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified information of
another Government agency, the cognizant Departmental safeguards and security office
responsible for the inquiry must provide the facts and circumstances that affect the other
Government agency’s information or interests to the Director, Office of Security. The
Director, Office of Security, must coordinate with the other Government agency, as
appropriate.
8. CASES INVOLVING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. Whenever a
compromise or potential compromise involves the information of a foreign government
that requires protection (i.e., classified or Confidential Foreign Government Information
Modified Handling [C/FGI-Mod]), the cognizant Departmental safeguards and security
office responsible for the inquiry must provide the facts and circumstances that affect the
foreign government’s information or interests to the Director, Office of Security. The
foreign government, however, will not normally be advised of any Departmental security
system vulnerabilities that allowed or contributed to the compromise or potential
Section 23
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 II-5 (and II-6)
3-17-04
compromise. The Director, Office of Security must coordinate with the foreign
government, as appropriate.
9. JOINT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT WITH ANOTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
Whenever a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified information or
interests of more than one Government agency, the following requirements apply.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Each Government agency is responsible for conducting the assessment of damage
resulting from its compromised or potentially compromised information.
If a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified information of
DOE and another Government agency, and if more than one damage assessment
is performed, the Primary DOE Organization responsible for the Department
damage assessment must provide the damage assessment to the Director, Office
of Security, who will coordinate with the other Government agency.
When a joint damage assessment is to be made, the Office of Security will
coordinate assignment of responsibility between the Department and the other
Government agency.
If a compromise or potential compromise of Departmental classified information
is the result of actions taken by foreign nationals, foreign government officials,
and/or U.S. nationals employed by international organizations, the Director,
Office of Security, through coordination with OCI/ODNCI, must ensure, through
appropriate intergovernmental liaison channels, that information pertinent to the
assessment is obtained.
If a compromise or potential compromise of SCI has occurred, the Director,
Office of Intelligence must consult with the designated representative of the
Director, Central Intelligence and other appropriate officials responsible for the
information involved.

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE O 471.4, Incidents of Security Concern
This Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) establishes the requirements for Department of
Energy (DOE) contractors, including National Nuclear Security Administration contractors.
Contractors must comply with the requirements listed in the CRD to the extent set forth in their
contracts.
Section 24
Regardless of the performer of the work, contractors with this CRD incorporated into their
contracts are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CRD. Affected contractors
are also responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD to subcontracts at any tier to
the extent necessary to ensure the contractors’ compliance with the requirements. In so doing,
contractors must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontractors.
That is, contractors will ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with the requirements
of the CRD and incur only those costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct
of competitive business.
DOE contractors with the CRD incorporated into their contracts must comply with the
requirements of DOE O 471.4, Incidents of Security Concern, dated 3-17-04, and all other
applicable rules, regulations, and directives, including the following.
1. Any contractor who observes, finds, or has knowledge or information about an incident
of security concern must immediately report this information to the Facility Security
Officer (FSO) or designee. The FSO or designee must make notifications as specified in
Chapter I, paragraph 3, of this CRD.
2. If a contractor discovers an incident of security concern, including one that involves
classified matter, special nuclear material, or other security interests at risk (e.g., interests
not properly controlled), the contractor must make reasonable steps to safeguard the
security interests in an appropriate manner. The contractor must also ensure evidence
associated with the incident is not tampered with or destroyed.
3. Any contractor discovering actual or suspected fraud, waste, or abuse of government
resources must report such incidents to the Office of the Inspector General.
4. Locally developed procedures must be established, documented, approved by the
cognizant Primary DOE Organization, and disseminated to ensure the identification,
reporting, root cause analysis, and resolution of incidents of security concern and tracking
of time and funds expended in these and related activities. These procedures must also
provide guidelines for possible administrative and disciplinary actions.
5. Inquiries must be conducted to determine all the pertinent facts and circumstances
surrounding incidents of security concern. (Inquiries are addressed further in Chapter 1
of this CRD.)
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 471.4
Page 2 3-17-04
6. When a violation is suspected or discovered, appropriate Federal, state, and local
organizations must be contacted by the contractor when written concurrence has been
obtained from the head of the field element.
7. Appropriate corrective actions must be taken for each incident of security concern to
prevent recurrence of the incident, including review and/or revision of applicable
safeguards and security plans and procedures. (Corrective actions are addressed further
in Chapter I of this CRD.)
8. In addition to DOE administrative actions or procedures initiated and conducted under
10 CFR 710, if the contractor is responsible for conducting an inquiry under Chapter I of
this CRD and the parties responsible for an incident of security concern are contractor
employees, the contractor must determine whether other administrative action is
appropriate, including reprimand, retraining, counseling, or other action necessary to
prevent recurrence of the incident.
Section 25
9. The contractor must assist in conducting damage assessments when requested by the head
of the field element.

CHAPTER I. IDENTIFICATION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. GENERAL.
a.
(1)
(2)
b.
c.
A system of controls and procedures must be developed, approved, implemented,
enforced, and maintained:
to deter, detect, and prevent incidents of security concern, and
for the timely identification and notification of, inquiry into, analysis of,
and reporting of incidents of security concern.
Inquiries must be used to determine the root causes and the individuals
responsible for incidents of security concern.
All discussions and documents associated with an incident of security concern
must be classified or controlled according to current classification or control
guidance and following procedures contained in appropriate Department of
Energy (DOE) directives.
2. INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION AND CATEGORIZATION. DOE uses a graded
Section 26
approach for identification and categorization of incidents of security concern. This
approach provides a framework for the requirements of reporting time lines and the level
of detail for inquiries into and root cause analysis of specific security incidents. By
establishing a graded approach, line management can effectively allocate the resources
necessary to implement this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) based on the
severity of the security incident. The following paragraphs provide the basis for
identification and categorization of incidents of security concern.
a. Incident Identification. Incidents of security concern are actions, inactions, or
events that have occurred at a site that:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
pose threats to national security interests and/or critical DOE assets,
create potentially serious or dangerous security situations,
potentially endanger the health and safety of the workforce or public
(excluding safety related items),
degrade the effectiveness of the safeguards and security program, or
adversely impact the ability of organizations to protect DOE safeguards
and security interests.
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 471.4
Page I-2 3-17-04
b. Incident Categorization. Incidents of security concern are categorized in
accordance with their potential to cause serious damage or place safeguards and
security interests and activities at risk. Four categories of security incidents have
been established based on the relative severity of the incident. Each of the four
categories is identified by an impact measurement index (IMI) number as follows
(from most severe to least severe): IMI-1, IMI-2, IMI-3, and IMI-4. Each of the
four categories is further subdivided into specific subcategories based on the
security topical areas of physical security, protective forces, information security,
personnel security, and nuclear material control and accountability. The
categorization of specific security incidents occurs at the time the security
incident is discovered. The categorization of specific security incidents can
change based on information developed during the inquiry into the incident.
c. Impact Measurement Index (IMI). The IMI number is used to identify, trend, and
evaluate each security incident or combination of incidents. (Specific information
to be used to categorize incidents of security concern is contained in Table 1
through Table 4; however, the IMI subcategories contained in these tables are not
all inclusive, and if they overlap, the more stringent reporting category will
apply.) The basis for each IMI category is provided below:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
IMI-1. Actions, inactions, or events that pose the most serious threats to
national security interests and/or critical DOE assets, create serious
security situations, or could result in deaths in the workforce or general
public. [See Table 1, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 1 (IMI-1).]
IMI-2. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to national security
interests and/or critical DOE assets or that potentially create dangerous
situations. [See Table 2, Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security
Concern, Impact Measurement Index 2 (IMI-2).]
IMI-3. Actions, inactions, or events that pose threats to DOE security
interests or that potentially degrade the overall effectiveness of the
Department’s safeguards and security protection program. [See Table 3,
Reportable Categories of Incidents of Security Concern, Impact
Measurement Index 3 (IMI-3).]
Section 27
IMI-4. Actions, inactions, or events that could pose threats to DOE by
adversely impacting the ability of organizations to protect DOE safeguards
and security interests. [See Table 4, Reportable Categories of Incidents of
Security Concern, Impact Measurement Index 4 (IMI-4).]

3. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
Section 31
a. 24-hour Determination/Categorization Period. When an incident is suspected to
have occurred, the contractor office responsible for the facility where the incident
occurred has 24 hours to examine and document all pertinent facts and
circumstances to determine whether an incident has occurred. (See Figure 1,
Incidents of Security Concern.) During this period, the suspected incident must
be categorized by an IMI number. If it is determined an incident of security
concern did not occur, no further action is required.
b. Initial Incident Reporting. Incidents of security concern initial reports for IMI-1,
IMI-2, and IMI-3 (as well as those for IMI-4 incidents involving foreign
nationals, per paragraph 3.d.below) will be sent to the DOE Headquarters (HQ)
Operations Center (OC) using DOE F 471.1, “Security Incident Notification
Report,” in accordance with locally developed procedures approved by the
responsible element. Initial security incident reports will be forwarded based on
the following criteria.
(1)
(2)
c.
Within 1 hour following categorization for security incidents determined
to be IMI-1 (see Table 1), the originating site/facility will transmit a DOE
F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC. If a verbal notification of the incident is
made to the DOE HQ OC, then a follow-up transmission of the DOE
F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC must be made.
Within 8 hours following categorization of security incidents determined
to be IMI-2/IMI-3 (see Tables 2 and 3), the originating site will transmit a
DOE F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC. If a verbal notification of the incident
is made to the DOE HQ OC, then a follow-up transmission of the DOE
F 471.1 to the DOE HQ OC must be made.
Reporting Incidents Receiving Media Attention. In addition to the IMI reporting
time frames, the Office of Security must be notified within 8 hours of any security
incidents that have been or will be reported in the media. The initial DOE F 471.1
and any subsequent updates must clearly identify the fact of media reporting.
d. Reporting Incidents Associated with Foreign Nationals. Security incidents having
any association with foreign nationals will be clearly identified and reported on
the initial DOE F 471.1 and in any related update or follow-on activity pertaining
to the incident, including incidents categorized as an IMI-4. For security
incidents involving any credible information that a foreign national or an agent of
a foreign power is involved, the closest element of the Office of
Counterintelligence (OCI)/Office of Defense Nuclear Counterintelligence
(ODNCI) will be notified.
e. Numbering Incidents and Changing Categories. When the initial incident report
(i.e., DOE F 471.1) is transmitted, it is to include a local incident tracking
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 Attachment 2
3-17-04 Page I-9
number. All subsequent reports pertaining to a security incident (e.g., inquiry and
other related activities) will be transmitted to the Office of Security. Changes in
IMI categorizations require resubmission of DOE F 471.1 to the Office of
Security.
f. Reporting Incidents Associated with Sensitive Programs. Only the initial report,
DOE F 471.1, will be required for incidents involving activities associated with
sensitive programs. These programs will include the Sensitive Compartmented
Information (SCI) Program, Special Access Programs (SAPs), Technical
Surveillance Countermeasures Program, Counterintelligence Program, or other
programs identified by the Office of Security. All subsequent reporting will be
handled “within channels” until such time as the inquiry report has been
distributed. The date of the inquiry report will be transmitted to the Office of
Security for database entry.
Section 32
g. Closing Inquiries.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
h.
IMI-1 and IMI-2 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the
inquiry report. The inquiry report must be completed within 60 working
days of the incident categorization or a status report must be provided in
accordance with paragraph 3.j.(1), below.
IMI-3 incidents are considered closed upon completion of DOE F 5639.3,
“Report of Security Incident/Infraction” (except for completing the section
on assignment and acceptance of the security infractions), transmission of
the completed DOE F 5639.3 to the Office of Security, and completion of
actions required in local procedures.
IMI-4 incidents are considered closed upon completion of the DOE
F 5639.3 or associated local procedures.
A sanitized (unclassified) copy of the DOE F 5639.3 will be provided to
the local personnel security office for placement in the appropriate
personnel security file.
Final Inquiry Reports. Contractor inquiry officials will forward final inquiry
reports in accordance with local procedures to appropriate contractor management
for action and to the Office of Security.

(1) IMI-1 and IMI-2. A monthly status report will be provided to the Office
of Security and the cognizant Primary DOE Organization for IMI-1 and
IMI-2 incidents that have not been closed within 60 working days of
notification of the incident.
(a)
(b)

Status reports will consist of the original DOE F 471.1, completed
and planned actions, identification of issues precluding closure,
and estimated date of closure.
Status reports are due by the fifth working day of each month.
IMI-3. Status reports are not required for IMI-3 incidents.
(3) IMI-4. Each facility will maintain a compilation of IMI-4 incidents by
month. These monthly summaries, which will contain the number of open
and closed security incidents by IMI-4 subtopic, the total initiated for the
calendar month, and a running total of open and closed incidents for the
calendar year, will be provided to the Office of Security. If no reportable
incidents occurred during the calendar month, a summary stating this will
be forwarded to the Office of Security by the fifth working day of each
month.
j. Separate but Related Reporting.
(1) Occurrence Reporting Processing System. To eliminate reporting
redundancy and centralize the reporting of security-related occurrences, all
occurrences previously reported within the “Group 5—Safeguards and
Security” category once contained in cancelled DOE M 232.1-1A,
Occurrence Reporting and Processing of Operations Information, dated
7-21-97, are now incorporated into this CRD. Because an event meets the
criteria for reporting as an incident of security concern does not negate the
responsibility to report it as an occurrence under DOE O 231.1A,
Environment, Safety, and Health Reporting, dated 8-19-03 (i.e., event
affects both safety and security).
DOE O 151.1B, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, dated
10-29-03. Incidents that are reportable under the provisions of DOE
O 151.1B must continue to be reported in accordance with that Order.
Reporting procedures for DOE incidents of security concern do not alter
DOE O 151.1B requirements.
(2)
(3) Flash Reporting. National Nuclear Security Administration “Flash
Reporting” procedures are not affected by Departmental incidents of
security concern reporting requirements.
CANCELE
D
DOE O 471.4 Attachment 2
3-17-04 Page I-13
(4) Documenting Corrective Actions. Corrective actions identified in
response to an incident of security concern must be documented. For
incidents categorized as IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of the
documentation must be forwarded to the Office of Security if not included
in the inquiry report. Documentation of corrective actions for IMI-4
incidents does not have to be forwarded to the Office of Security.
4. INQUIRY OFFICIALS.
a.
b.
(1)
Inquiry officials will conduct inquiries to establish the pertinent facts and
circumstances surrounding incidents of security concern.
Inquiry officials may be either Federal or contractor employees but must have
previous investigative experience or Departmental inquiry training and must be
knowledgeable of appropriate laws, Executive orders, Departmental directives,
and/or regulatory requirements.
Section 34
Contractors may conduct inquiries into incidents of security concern;
however, if a violation of law is determined or suspected, or the inquiry
establishes information that a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power
is involved, the contractor must stop further inquiry actions and notify the
cognizant Departmental safeguards and security office, which will assume
further notification and reporting responsibilities, to include coordination
with OCI/ODNCI. In such instances, the contractor must document the
known circumstances surrounding the incident of security concern and
submit all accumulated data to the cognizant Departmental safeguards and
security office.
(2)
(3)
(4)
c.
In all instances where the cognizant Departmental safeguards and security
office disagrees with the contractor report, the cognizant Departmental
safeguards and security office assumes supplemental inquiry
responsibilities.
When the inquiry into an incident of security concern necessitates
communication with Agencies/organizations external to the Department
(e.g., the U.S. Postal Service, the FBI, or other Federal agencies), a
Federal employee must be responsible for performing all such
communication.
Contact with Federal, state, and local law enforcement officials may be
made by contractors with the concurrence of the head of the field element.
Inquiry officials are not authorized to detain individuals for interviews nor to
obtain sworn statements; however, they may conduct consensual interviews and
obtain signed statements.
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 471.4
Page I-14 3-17-04
d.
e.
Inquiry officials must be appointed in writing by the head of the field element, the
head of the Office of Headquarters Security Operations, or the Office of Security.
Inquiry officials are responsible for conducting the inquiry and maintaining
records and documentation associated with the inquiry (e.g., logs of events, notes,
recordings, and statements).
5. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
a.
b.
c.
d.
Federal, state, or local law enforcement agency personnel requiring access to
limited areas or higher for investigative actions must be escorted, have a current
access authorization passed to DOE, or possess an active DOE access
authorization. Such personnel will be approved for access to classified matter
only if they possess the appropriate access authorization, the matter pertains
directly to the investigation, and appropriate programmatic approvals have been
granted if such approvals are required. Access to Restricted Data and Formerly
Restricted Data will require a DOE Q or L or appropriate access authorization.
When authorized and approved Federal, state, or local law enforcement personnel
are given access to classified information, they will be immediately advised of the
classification level and category. They will also be informed of the protection and
control requirements associated with the classified information they possess.
When an inquiry surrounding an incident of security concern establishes
information indicating that fraud, waste, or abuse has occurred, the Office of the
Inspector General must be notified for information and/or action.
The cognizant DOE safeguards and security office must make arrangements for
the issuance of standard DOE security badges and any other necessary
arrangements for Federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies involved in
investigations.
6. CONDUCT OF INQUIRIES. The following actions must be taken when conducting
Section 35
inquiries into incidents of security concern and be reflected in the inquiry report. (See
Chapter II for additional requirements.)
a. Data Collection.
(1)
(2)
Collect all data/information relevant to the incident, such as operations
logs, inventory reports, requisitions, receipts, photographs, signed
statements, etc.

c.
Reconstruct the incident of security concern to the greatest extent possible
using collected information and other evidence.
Develop a chronological sequence of events that describes the actions
preceding and following the incident.
Identify persons associated with the incident.
Incident Analysis and Evaluation. This analysis will determine which
systems/functions performed correctly or failed to perform as designed; it must
provide the basis for determining the cause of the incident and subsequent
corrective actions.
(1)
(2)
(3)
Analyze the information collected during the inquiry process to determine
whether it describes the incident completely and accurately.
Collect additional data and reconstruct the incident if more information is
required.
Identify any collateral impact with other programs or security interests.

8. ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS.
a.
(1)
(2)
Whenever possible, the responsibility for an incident of security concern must be
assigned to an individual rather than to a position or office.
When individual responsibility cannot be established and the facts show
that a responsible official allowed conditions to exist that led to an
incident of security concern, responsibility must be assigned to the
official.
Security infractions are issued to document the assignment of
responsibility for an incident of security concern. Individuals who do not
possess an access authorization may be issued a security infraction.
b. Corrective actions taken in response to incidents of security concern must be
documented, and for incidents categorized as IMI-1, IMI-2, or IMI-3, a copy of
the documentation must be forwarded to the Office of Security. Documentation
of corrective actions for IMI-4 incidents does not have to be forwarded to the
Office of Security.
c. A copy of Part 1 of DOE F 5639.3 or similar form will be placed in the
employee’s DOE personnel security file. If an employee does not have an access
authorization, it will be placed in his/her personnel file.
9. RECORDS RETENTION.
a.
b.
c.
Records pertaining to incidents of security concern cannot be sent to Federal
Records Centers.
Records must be dispositioned in accordance with an applicable General Records
Schedule, published by the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA), or in accordance with a DOE Records Disposition Schedule approved
by NARA, whichever is applicable.
The site records manager or similarly titled person should be routinely consulted
regarding the maintenance and disposition of records.

CHAPTER II. INCIDENTS OF SECURITY CONCERN INVOLVING COMPROMISE
OR POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
1. INQUIRIES INTO COMPROMISE OF, POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF, OR
MISSING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. The following requirements are in addition
to those contained in Chapter I of this CRD. Inquiry officials will perform, but not
necessarily be limited to, the following actions.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
(1)
(2)
Query custodians and others having knowledge of the incident. When necessary,
records must be audited for evidence of destruction, transmission, or other
disposition.
Ensure a DOE F 5639.2, or a form comparable in content, is completed if
classified information is missing.
Determine which Primary DOE Organization has programmatic responsibility for
the information or whether the information was originated by another
Government agency or a foreign government.
Determine whether a compromise or potential compromise occurred. If there was
a potential compromise, seek to determine the probability of compromise. The
basis for such findings must be documented (i.e., potential compromise is defined
as an incident of security concern where circumstances exist that cannot rule out
the compromise of classified information).
If an inquiry determines that a compromise or potential compromise has occurred,
document the extent of the dissemination of the classified information and the
actions taken to prevent further dissemination.
When an inquiry establishes that classified information has been compromised by
being published in the media, the questions contained in the Department of Justice
Eleven-Point Criteria, which are listed below, must be answered and coordinated
with the Office of Security. When completing the questions, provide all
documentation and appropriate information to support affirmative responses.
Each question must be answered affirmatively before the Department of Justice
will initiate a formal investigation into the compromise; however, failure to
affirmatively answer all the Department of Justice criteria does not preclude the
Department of Justice from pursuing administrative or criminal action.
Could the date and identity of the article or articles disclosing the
classified information be provided?
Could specific statements in the article which are considered classified be
identified? Was the data properly classified?

of the person competent to testify concerning the accuracy.
Did the data come from a specific document and, if so, what is the origin
of the document and the name of the individual(s) responsible for the
security of the classified data disclosed?
Could the extent and official dissemination of the data be determined?
Has it been determined that the data has not been officially released in the
past?
(7) Has it been determined that prior clearance for publication or release of
the information was not granted by proper authorities?
(8) Does review reveal that educated speculation on the matter cannot be
made from material, background data, or portions thereof which have been
published officially or have previously appeared in the press?
(9)
(10)
Could the data be made available for the purpose of prosecution? If so,
include the name of the person competent to testify concerning the
classification.
