CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE O 472.1C, Personnel Security Activities
This Contractor Requirements Document (which is equivalent to the National Industrial Security
Program Operating Manual, Chapter 2, Section 2, “Personnel Clearances”) prescribes
requirements, restrictions, and other procedures necessary for Department of Energy (DOE) and
National Nuclear Security Administration contractors to:
• prevent the unauthorized disclosure of classified matter;
• protect special nuclear materials (SNM); and
• control the authorized disclosure of classified matter released by DOE and other Federal
agencies.
Section 14
The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, provides the statutory basis for DOE’s Personnel
Security and Personnel Security Assurance Programs, which encompass sets of activities for
determining an individual’s eligibility for access to Restricted Data and SNM.
Executive Orders 10865, 12829, 12958, and 12968 establish DOE authority to determine an
individual’s eligibility for access to other classified matter and to promulgate requirements for
contractors to protect classified matter.
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
a. Requests for access authorization shall not be submitted until the contractor has
been awarded a DOE contract and has submitted to DOE the required paperwork
for a Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) determination.
b. Access authorization requests may be submitted to DOE pending completion of
the FOCI determination; however, a favorable FOCI determination must be
rendered by DOE before an access authorization will be granted, reinstated,
continued, extended, or transferred for the contractor’s applicant for employment
(hereafter referred to as “applicant”) or employee.
c. An access authorization request shall be submitted to DOE only after the
contractor’s determination that the access authorization is essential for the
individual to perform tasks or services stipulated in contract provisions (i.e., for
an applicant or employee selected to occupy a position that requires the incumbent
to access classified matter and/or SNM in order to perform work under the
contract).
d. An access authorization shall not be requested or continued to:
(1) allow the dissemination of classified matter on other than a
need-for-access basis;
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 2 3-25-03
(2) preclude the use of access controls or physical barriers to distinguish
perimeters among security areas or between security areas and open areas;
(3) determine an individual’s suitability for employment;
(4) alleviate responsibilities for escorting uncleared individuals within a
security area;
(5) establish a pool of cleared employees; or
(6) accommodate an individual’s personal convenience, expedience, gain,
advantage, or anticipation of unspecified classified work.
e. An access authorization shall be requested (or recertified as continuing to be
needed) only when required, and only for the type (Q or L, see paragraph 2 below)
required, to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of DOE resources and the
unwarranted invasion of an individual’s privacy.
f. Individual access to classified matter or SNM shall not be permitted until
notification has been received from DOE that access authorization has been
granted, reinstated, extended, or transferred. Verbal notification from a DOE
personnel security official may be accepted, to be followed by written
confirmation of the action.
g. Except as authorized by DOE in paragraph 6 below, access authorizations shall be
requested only for individuals who are United States citizens and over 18 years
old.
h. Only authorized DOE employees can render a formal access authorization
determination (such as eligibility and termination); however, contractors are
authorized to effect actions that affect an individual’s access, such as restricting
access to classified matter or SNM when access eligibility terminates or obtaining
a “Security Termination Statement” prior to the individual’s departure.
Section 15
i. Logistical assistance shall be provided to DOE and investigative agencies, as
reflected in paragraph 4, for the conduct of initial investigations and periodic
reinvestigations, and for reinvestigations that are conducted when DOE
determines that an employee may have been engaged in an activity or subject to
circumstances that affect continued access authorization eligibility.
j. DOE retains authority in all matters related to DOE personnel security activities,
and personnel security activities are not subject to collective bargaining between
contractor management and labor.
k. An individual’s active access authorization status shall not be used as a
determining factor for hiring, entering into a consultant agreement, or awarding a
subcontract.
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 3
l. DOE personnel security requirements and procedures shall not be used by
contractor management or other employees to coerce, restrain, threaten,
intimidate, or retaliate against individuals for exercising their rights under any
statute, regulation, or DOE directive.
m. Unless otherwise stipulated, the contractor shall not be required to reimburse DOE
for DOE costs associated with processing the contractor’s applicants or employees
for investigations or other actions related to access authorization.
n. Access authorizations shall be requested and maintained at the minimum number
necessary to ensure operational efficiency, and shall be terminated as required in
paragraph 7 below.
2. ACCESS AUTHORIZATION DETERMINATION REQUIREMENTS. When the duties
of a position will require the incumbent to access DOE classified matter and/or SNM, the
contractor shall process the selectee for either a DOE Q or L access authorization if the
selectee does not already possess the appropriate type of DOE access authorization. The
type of access authorization to be requested will depend on the category (Restricted Data,
Formerly Restricted Data, or National Security Information) and level (Top Secret, Secret,
or Confidential) of classified matter and/or category of SNM (I, II, III, or IV) to which the
incumbent will require access.
a. For Access to Classified Matter.
(1) Q Access Authorization shall be requested when the duties of the position
require access to any of the following:
(a) Top Secret or Secret Restricted Data;
(b) Top Secret Formerly Restricted Data;
(c) Top Secret National Security Information; or
(d) Classified matter designated as “COMSEC,” “CRYPTO,”
“Sensitive Compartmented Information,” or Weapon Data,
Sigma 14 or Sigma 15.
[NOTE: A Q access authorization also allows the individual access to the
categories/levels of classified matter listed in paragraph 2a(2) below.]
(2) L Access Authorization shall be requested when the duties of the position
require access to any of the following:
(a) Confidential Restricted Data;
(b) Secret or Confidential Formerly Restricted Data; or
(c) Secret or Confidential National Security Information.
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 4 3-25-03
b. For Access to SNM. DOE M 473.1-1, Physical Protection Manual, Chapter II,
Table 1 provides access authorization descriptions. [NOTE: An access
authorization granted for SNM also allows the individual access to the appropriate
categories/levels of classified matter on a need-to-know basis.]
Section 16
(1) Category I. Q access authorization. [NOTE: Hands-on access to or
transportation of Category I quantities may require additional measures,
such as Personnel Security Assurance Program or Personnel Assurance
Program (see DOE O 452.2B, Safety of Nuclear Explosive Operations)
participation and/or enhanced nuclear material surveillance procedures to
further reduce the probability of an insider act.]
(2) Category II with Credible Roll-Up to Category I. Q access authorization.
(3) Categories II and III. An L access authorization unless special
circumstances determined by a site vulnerability assessment, and
documented in the site safeguards and security plan, require a Q access
authorization.
(4) Category IV. None unless special circumstances determined by a site
vulnerability assessment, and documented in the site safeguards and
security plan, require an access authorization to minimize risk.
3. PRE-EMPLOYMENT AND PRE-PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS.
a. The following statement shall be included in advertisements for positions that
require the selectees to be processed for an access authorization: “Applicants
selected will be subject to a Federal background investigation and must meet
eligibility requirements for access to classified matter.” The statement may be
modified, as appropriate, to reflect access to SNM and/or that additional reviews
and/or testing procedures are required for selectees to Personnel Security
Assurance Program or Personnel Assurance Program positions.
b. The contractor shall require applicants and employees selected for positions
requiring access authorizations to provide evidence of United States citizenship
and shall verify such evidence to DOE when requesting that the individuals be
processed for access authorizations. (See paragraphs 3d and 4a below.)
[NOTE: The contractor is not required to obtain and verify to DOE evidence of
United States citizenship if the individual was previously granted access
authorization and was a United States citizen when the access authorization was
granted.] Acceptable evidence of United States citizenship consists of the
following:
(1) For an individual born in the United States, a birth certificate is the
primary and preferred means of citizenship verification. Acceptable
certificates must show that the birth record was filed shortly after birth and
it must be certified with the registrar’s signature. It must bear the raised,
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 5
impressed, or multi-colored seal of the registrar’s office. The only
exception is if a state or other jurisdiction does not issue such seals as a
matter of policy. Uncertified copies of birth certificates are not acceptable.
A delayed birth certificate (one created when a record was filed more
than 1 year after the date of birth) is acceptable if it shows that the report
of birth was supported by acceptable secondary evidence of birth.
Secondary evidence may include baptismal or circumcision certificates,
hospital birth records, or affidavits of persons having personal knowledge
about the facts of the birth. Other documentary evidence can be early
census, school, or family records; newspaper files; or insurance papers.
All documents submitted as evidence shall be original or certified.
(2) For an individual claiming citizenship by naturalization, a certificate of
naturalization that reflects the individual’s name is required.
Section 17
(3) For an individual claiming citizenship acquired by birth abroad to a United
States citizen, one of the following (reflecting the individual’s name) is
required:
(a) a Certificate of Citizenship issued by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service;
(b) a Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of
America (Form FS-240); or
(c) a Certificate of Birth (Form FS-545 or DS-1350).
(4) A United States passport, current or expired.
(5) A Record of Military Processing—Armed Forces of the United States
(DD Form 1966), provided it reflects that the individual is a United States
citizen.
c. When an access authorization will be required for an applicant or employee, the
contractor shall conduct the following checks, as appropriate, to establish the
individual’s job qualifications and suitability before submitting the access
authorization request to DOE:
(1) a credit check;
(2) verification of a high school degree or diploma or a degree or diploma
granted by an institution of higher learning within the past 5 years;
(3) contacts with listed references;
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 6 3-25-03
(4) contacts with listed employers for the past 3 years (excluding employment
of less than 60 days duration, part-time employments, and craft/union
employments);
(5) local law enforcement checks when such checks are not prohibited by
State or local law, statute, or regulation, and when the individual has
resided in the jurisdiction where the contractor is located.
d. The results of the checks conducted in the paragraph above shall be verified to
DOE with the individual’s security forms, verification of United States citizenship
as required in paragraph 4a, and a statement that all information concerning the
individual has been favorably reviewed in accordance with the contractor’s
personnel policies. The following information shall be provided to DOE for each
check conducted by the contractor:
(1) the date the check was conducted;
(2) the identity of the individual, office, or entity that provided the
information; and
(3) a synopsis of the information provided to the contractor.
e. An applicant hired specifically for a position that will require an access
authorization shall not be placed in that position until the access authorization has
been granted by DOE unless an exception has been obtained from the head of the
contracting activity or designee.
f. The contractor shall not conduct the checks or provide verifications to DOE
stipulated in paragraphs 3c and 3d for:
(1) individuals who hold a DOE access authorization or a security clearance
granted by another Federal agency;
(2) Federal employees (including members of the Armed Forces) detailed or
assigned to the contractor; or
(3) an employee previously granted an access authorization or a security
clearance at the contractor’s request that was subsequently terminated
because it was no longer needed, if the individual has been continuously
employed by the contractor since that time.
g. The contractor shall not concurrently process an applicant or employee for an
access authorization and a security clearance with another Federal agency. If an
applicant or employee is selected to occupy a position that will require both a
DOE Q access authorization and another agency Top Secret security clearance, the
request for a Q access authorization shall first be submitted to DOE. After DOE
has granted a Q access authorization, the contractor should then request the other
Section 18
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 7
agency Top Secret security clearance for the individual, noting the date DOE
granted a Q access authorization and the individual’s DOE personnel security file
number. When the other agency receives the contractor’s request, the individual’s
security forms, and DOE access authorization information, it will coordinate with
DOE to obtain information necessary for granting the Top Secret security
clearance. The same procedure shall be followed for an individual who will
require both a DOE L access authorization and another agency Secret security
clearance. For dissimilar types of access (e.g., Q and Secret, or L and Top
Secret), concurrent DOE and other agency requests may be processed. Further
implementation guidance concerning this requirement may be obtained from the
cognizant DOE office.
h. An individual who claims dual citizenship may be processed for DOE access
authorization as a foreign national. Further guidance concerning this issue may be
obtained from the cognizant DOE office.
4. PROCESSING ACCESS AUTHORIZATION REQUESTS TO DOE.
a. Access authorization requests shall be forwarded through established channels to
the cognizant DOE office. Requests shall include the following documentation
(additional documentation may be required by the cognizant DOE office):
(1) A cover letter or form (if one is provided by the cognizant DOE office)
that requests Q or L access authorization and provides justification for
access authorization processing. The justification shall describe in detail
(without revealing classified information) the duties of the position and the
category(ies)/level(s) of classified matter and/or category of SNM to be
accessed. The contractor shall also identify any other Federal agency
access authorization or security clearance that has been granted to the
individual at the contractor’s request.
NOTE: General statements such as “Access authorization is required to
perform contractual duties,” or “Access authorization is required in
support of Contract Number ,” are unacceptable, as are statements
that corporate policy requires all applicants or employees to be processed
for access authorizations. The following represents an acceptable
justification: “Mr./Ms. is a computer systems engineer with ABC,
Inc., and involved in systems analysis in support of XE-50. The duties of
the position will require access to plans and operations concerning the
Tritium Recovery Facility for the MHGTR, which are classified as Secret
Restricted Data. Contract No .”
(2) Verification of the individual’s evidence of United States citizenship.
(3) Required security forms, usually a Standard Form 86, fingerprint cards,
and a DOE Security Acknowledgment. [NOTE: Security forms and
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 8 3-25-03
instructions shall be provided by the cognizant DOE office. When the
duties of the position will involve access to Special Access Programs,
information classified as “Top Secret,” or classified matter designated as
“Sensitive Compartmented Information,” “CRYPTO,” or “Weapon Data,”
the individual may be required to file financial disclosure reports, copies
of which shall be provided by the cognizant DOE office.]
(4) Verification that pre-processing checks have been conducted as indicated
in paragraph 3d above.
(5) The DOE contract or subcontract number under which access
authorization is being requested.
Section 19
b. Contractor shall advise their employees and applicants for employment that their
completed security forms will be reviewed by designated contractor employees for
completeness prior to submission to DOE. The contractor may elect to maintain,
or not maintain, copies of the individual’s security forms in paper or electronic
format. If the contractor elects to maintain copies of the individual’s security
forms, the individual shall be informed of the contractor’s policy concerning
copies of the security forms, the contractor’s procedures for protecting the
information from unauthorized disclosure, and the procedures by which the
individual may obtain access to, or copies of, his/her security forms that are
maintained by the contractor. The contractor shall recommend to the individual
that he/she maintain copies of the completed security forms for his/her personal
records. NOTE: The cognizant DOE office shall establish local procedures
governing contractor access to the completed Part 2 of the Standard Form 86.
c. Written procedures shall be established for the protection of access authorization
information, including the procedures for—
(1) designating the employees responsible, and trained in the procedures, for
reviewing the individual’s completed security forms prior to their
submission to DOE; and
(2) informing all employees with access to completed security forms,
pre-employment or pre-processing check information, and other access
authorization related information of their responsibility to protect the
information from unauthorized disclosure.
d. When deficient access authorization requests are returned to the contractor with
an indication of the deficiency(ies), the contractor shall ensure that the
deficiency(ies) is (are) corrected and return the request to the cognizant DOE
office for processing. The contractor shall ensure that the individual being
processed for an access authorization is not provided access to classified matter or
SNM until the cognizant DOE office notifies the contractor that an access
authorization has been granted, reinstated, extended, or transferred. Verbal
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 9
notification of the access authorization action from the cognizant DOE office will be
confirmed by a DOE written notification.
e. Contractor shall assist in the timely processing of access authorization actions by:
(1) cooperating with investigative agency and DOE requests for access to the
individual’s contractor employment or personnel information (such
requests shall be accompanied by an appropriate release signed by the
individual);
(2) ensuring the availability of the individual for the conduct of personal
interviews by investigative agency or DOE personnel security staff; and
(3) ensuring that other employees are made available to provide background
information during the conduct of initial investigations and
reinvestigations.
f. Contractor is responsible for reviewing, approving, and submitting to DOE access
authorization requests for their subcontractor, consultant, or agent applicants or
employees. Such requests shall be kept to a minimum in accordance with DOE
requirements.
5. INTERIM ACCESS AUTHORIZATION (IAA) REQUEST.
a. The contractor may request that an individual who is being processed for a Q
access authorization also be processed for an IAA based on the following
justification:
Section 20
(1) serious delay of or interference in a DOE program may be experienced
unless the named individual is granted an access authorization prior to the
completion of full access authorization procedures; and
(2) the services of a qualified person with an active Q access authorization
cannot be obtained.
[NOTE: Specific information substantiating the justification must be provided.]
b. The IAA request shall accompany the required documentation in paragraph 4a
above.
c. Individuals processed for an IAA may be asked to voluntarily participate in the
DOE Accelerated Access Authorization Program, which involves psychological,
drug, and counterintelligence polygraph testing at the Accelerated Access
Authorization Program Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico, or Oak Ridge,
Tennessee. Transportation and per diem costs for such processing are the
contractor’s responsibility. Additional information concerning the Accelerated
Access Authorization Program is available from the cognizant DOE office.
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 10 3-25-03
d. The contractor may provide the individual access to classified matter upon receipt
of written notification from the cognizant DOE office that the IAA has been
approved. DOE shall also notify the contractor if the IAA is not approved.
Non-approval of an IAA is not a denial of access authorization and is not
appealable. DOE full access authorization procedures will continue in either case.
e. If an individual’s IAA approval is withdrawn by DOE, the contractor shall, upon
receipt of verbal notification from the cognizant DOE office, ensure that the
individual is precluded from access to classified matter. DOE shall confirm the
verbal notification in writing. Withdrawal of an individual’s IAA approval by
DOE is not a denial or revocation of an access authorization and is not appealable.
Withdrawal of an individual’s IAA approval does not halt the processing of the Q
access authorization request.
f. If the DOE grants a final Q access authorization, the individual’s IAA approval
will be withdrawn and the contractor so notified in writing.
g. The contractor shall not request an IAA for individuals requiring L access
authorizations or for foreign nationals.
6. ACCESS AUTHORIZATION REQUEST FOR A FOREIGN NATIONAL.
a. Contractor shall process a request for an access authorization for a foreign
national in accordance with the guidance provided by the cognizant DOE office.
b. The request shall be made only when the contractor can provide clear evidence
that the individual has talents or skills essential to the DOE’s mission and not
possessed to a comparable degree by an available United States citizen.
c. The request shall not be processed by DOE if sufficient information cannot be
obtained by an investigation to determine the individual’s access authorization
eligibility.
d. The contractor shall not provide access to the following types of classified matter
to a foreign national granted access authorization:
(1) “Top Secret,” “CRYPTO,” or “COMSEC” information.
(2) Intelligence information.
(3) Information that has not been determined releasable by a United States
Government Designated Disclosure Authority to the country of which the
individual is a citizen.

CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 11
(a) a NATO Security Clearance Certificate is obtained by DOE from
the individual’s home country; and
Section 21
(b) NATO Information access is limited to performance on a specific
NATO contract.
(5) Information for which foreign disclosure has been prohibited in whole or
in part.
(6) Information provided to the United States Government in confidence by a

7. REPORTING AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS.
a. Contractor Reporting Requirements. Except for item (3) below, verbal
notification within 2 working days followed by written confirmation within the
next 10 working days shall be provided through established channels to the
cognizant DOE office of the following conditions affecting an applicant’s or
employee’s access authorization status:
(1) when an applicant declines the offer of employment or fails to report for
duty;
(2) for any reason iterated in paragraph 7c below;
(3) when aware of an individual’s hospitalization or other treatment for a
mental illness or other condition that may cause a significant defect in the
individual’s judgment or reliability;
(4) when made aware of information of personnel security interest. Such
information must be characterized as reliable and relevant and create a
question as to an individual’s access authorization eligibility as
exemplified in 10 CFR 710.8 (see the reverse of DOE F 5631.18);
(5) when a foreign national under the contractor’s cognizance becomes a
United States citizen through naturalization or effects any other change in
his/her citizenship status; or
(6) when the contractor restricts or withdraws an employee’s access to
classified matter or SNM without DOE direction.
b. Individual Reporting Requirements. Contractor shall inform employees and
applicants who are applying for or granted access authorization that they must:
(1) Provide full, frank, and truthful answers to relevant and material questions,
and when requested, furnishing or authorizing others to furnish
information that DOE deems pertinent to the access authorization
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 12 3-25-03
eligibility process. This applies when completing security forms, during
the course of an initial investigation and reinvestigations, and at any stage
of access authorization processing including but not limited to letters of
interrogatory, personnel security interviews, DOE-sponsored mental
evaluations, and other authorized DOE investigative activities. An
individual may elect not to cooperate; however, such refusal may prevent
DOE from granting or continuing access authorization. In this event, any
access authorization then in effect may be terminated or further processing
may be suspended.
(2) Provide direct notification to the cognizant DOE office of the following:
[NOTE: Verbal notification is required within 2 working days followed
by written notification within the next 3 working days.]
(a) all arrests, criminal charges (including charges that are dismissed),
or detentions by Federal, State, or other law enforcement
authorities for violations of the law, other than traffic violations for
which only a fine of $250 or less was imposed, within or outside of
the United States;
(b) personal or business-related filing for bankruptcy;
(c) garnishment of wages;
(d) legal action effected for name change;
(e) change in citizenship;
(f) employment by, representation of, or other business-related
association with a foreign or foreign-owned interest, or foreign
national; and
Section 22
(g) hospitalization or other treatment for a mental illness; treatment for
drug abuse; or treatment for alcohol abuse.
(3) Provide notification to the cognizant DOE office or the facility security
officer, as appropriate, immediately after any approach or contact by any
individual seeking unauthorized access to classified matter or SNM. If
such an approach or contact is made while on foreign travel, individuals
should notify a Department of State official at the local United States
Embassy or Consulate with a request that the Department of State report
the incident to the Director, Office of Security, at DOE Headquarters.
This requirement is in addition to any similar reporting requirements
implemented under DOE Orders or regulations.
(4) Provide a completed DOE F 5631.34, “Data Report on Spouse/
Cohabitant,” directly to the cognizant DOE office within 45 calendar days
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 13
of marriage to, or cohabitation with, an individual who does not currently
hold access authorization. These forms shall be provided by the cognizant
DOE office.
[NOTE: Requirements for the individual to report circumstances of security
interest directly to the cognizant DOE office do not preclude the contractor from
requiring the individual to also report these circumstances to the contractor’s
personnel security office or facility security officer.]
c. Access Authorization Termination Requests. The contractor shall request the
cognizant DOE office(s) to terminate an employee’s access authorization and
shall provide a DOE F 5631.29, “Security Termination Statement,” completed by
the employee whenever any of the following occur: [NOTE: The purpose of the
DOE F 5631.29 is to ensure that the individual is aware of his/her continuing
responsibilities to protect classified matter after termination of an access
authorization. The cognizant DOE office shall be requested to terminate an
employee’s access authorization even though a completed DOE F 5631.29 cannot
be immediately provided.]
(1) employment by the contractor is terminated;
(2) access authorization is no longer required;
(3) the individual is on a leave of absence or on extended leave and will not
require access for 90 consecutive calendar days. Upon request, this
interval may be adjusted at the discretion of the cognizant DOE office;
(4) access to classified matter or SNM is no longer required due to transfer to
a position not requiring such access [NOTE: The cognizant DOE office
may approve a contractor request for an individual to retain an access
authorization when the contractor verifies that the individual shall be
reemployed or reassigned by the contractor within the next 3 months in a
position that will require an access authorization. The contractor must
inform the cognizant DOE office of the individual’s employment status at
the end of the 3-month interval.]; or
(5) the individual leaves for foreign travel, employment, assignment,
education, or residence of more than 3 months duration not involving
official United States Government business. [NOTE: This requirement
applies even if the individual remains employed by the contractor.]
d. Access Authorization Reinstatement Requests. The contractor shall request the
cognizant DOE office to reinstate access authorization for an applicant or
employee when the contractor is aware that the individual previously was granted
an access authorization. The cognizant DOE office shall advise the contractor
whether the individual must complete a new set of security forms or update
information that the individual previously provided.
Section 23
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 14 3-25-03
e. Access Authorization Upgrade Requests. The contractor shall request the
cognizant DOE office to upgrade an employee’s access authorization from L to Q
in accordance with the new access requirements associated with the duties of the
position (reference paragraph 2 above). The request shall be accompanied by
appropriate security forms and a revised access authorization justification
statement, as directed by the cognizant DOE office.
f. Access Authorization Downgrade Requests. The contractor shall request the
cognizant DOE office to downgrade an employee’s access authorization from Q to
L in accordance with the new access requirements associated with the duties of
the position (reference paragraph 2 above). The request shall be accompanied by
a revised access authorization justification statement.
g. Access Authorization Extension Requests. Extension of an access authorization
is the process that allows an individual to hold concurrent access authorizations:
under the cognizance of two or more DOE offices; under two or more employers;
or for one employer under two or more contracts. A Q access authorization can be
extended as either a Q or L access authorization, but an L access authorization can
only be extended as an L access authorization. The contractor shall request an
access authorization extension under the following circumstances:
(1) for an applicant who has an access authorization granted by DOE at the
request of another employer and who must retain that access authorization
in connection with his/her other employment [NOTE: This is a common
situation for consultants. A contractor may request an extension for more
than one DOE contract.]; or
(2) for an employee when the individual will be assigned to perform classified
work under more than one DOE contract and must retain the original
access authorization in connection with his/her continued work under the
first DOE contract.
The contractor’s request for access authorization extension shall be accompanied
by a written access authorization justification statement and shall reference the
individual’s full name, and Social Security Account Number, and, if known, DOE
personnel security file number and type/date of access authorization. The
cognizant DOE office shall advise the contractor if additional security forms are
required to effect the extension. The contractor shall ensure that the individual is
precluded from access to classified matter or SNM associated with the second
contract until notified by the cognizant DOE office that the extension request has
been approved. Under the extension process, an employee’s access authorization
can be terminated under one contract while being maintained in an active status
under another contract(s). The contractor shall notify all cognizant DOE offices
when the employee no longer requires access authorization under any of the
contractor’s DOE contracts (reference paragraph 7c above).
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 15
h. Access Authorization Transfer Requests. Transfer of an access authorization is
the process that allows an individual’s access authorization to be simultaneously
terminated under one contract and granted under another contract. A transfer can
be effected only for like access authorizations (i.e., Q to Q, or L to L). The
contractor shall request an access authorization transfer under the following
circumstances:
Section 24
(1) for an applicant when the individual has an access authorization granted by
DOE at the request of his/her current employer that will be terminated
when the individual leaves that employment [NOTE: This action involves
a change of employers for the individual.]; or
(2) for an employee when the individual will be assigned to perform classified
work under a different contract than the one for which he/she was
originally granted an access authorization, and will no longer require
access to classified matter associated with the original contract.
[NOTE: This action involves a change of contracts for the individual
under one employer.]
The contractor’s request for access authorization transfer shall be accompanied by
a written access authorization justification statement and shall reference the
individual’s full name, Social Security Account Number, and, if known, DOE
personnel security file number and type/date of access authorization. The
cognizant DOE office shall advise the contractor if additional security forms are
required to effect the transfer action. The contractor shall ensure that the
individual is precluded from access to classified matter or SNM until notified by
the cognizant DOE office that the transfer request has been approved. When
applicable, the cognizant DOE office processing the transfer request is responsible
for ensuring that the DOE office that originally granted the individual’s access
authorization is notified to terminate the individual’s access authorization
associated with his/her previous employment.
i. Access Authorization Suspension, Revocation, and Denial.
(1) The cognizant DOE office is responsible for notifying the contractor in
writing when an employee’s access authorization is suspended. Upon
receipt of such notification, the contractor shall ensure that the employee is
precluded from access to classified matter and/or categories of SNM
requiring an access authorization. The cognizant DOE office is
responsible for notifying other DOE offices or Federal agencies where the
employee has been approved/certified for access to classified matter.
When the security issue(s) concerning the employee’s access authorization
status has been resolved, the contractor shall be notified in writing by the
cognizant DOE office of whether the employee’s access authorization has
been reinstated or revoked.
CANCELE
D
Attachment 2 DOE O 472.1C
Page 16 3-25-03
(2) The cognizant DOE office shall notify the contractor in writing when an
applicant or employee has been denied access authorization. Upon receipt
of such notification, the contractor shall ensure that the individual is
precluded from access to classified matter and/or categories of SNM
requiring an access authorization.
(3) Suspension, denial, or revocation of an individual’s access authorization
does not preclude the contractor from assigning or transferring the
individual to duties that do not require an access authorization.
j. Records Maintenance.
(1) Contractor shall maintain current records which reflect by contract number
all employees granted access authorizations. The listing shall include the
employee’s name, DOE file number, and the date the contractor was
notified by DOE that the employee’s access authorization was granted,
reinstated, extended, or transferred.
Section 25
(2) Copies of correspondence to and from the cognizant DOE office(s) that
reflect access authorization matters for each applicant and employee shall
be maintained, including: the request for access authorization, notification
that access authorization action was effected, and access authorization
termination actions. Such copies shall be maintained while the individual
holds an access authorization at the contractor’s request and for a period
of 2 years after the date the individual’s access authorization is terminated,
at which time they may be destroyed.
(3) All records and information pertaining to applicant and employee access
authorization matters, including copies of security forms and information
collected from the conduct of preemployment or pre-processing checks,
shall be protected against unauthorized disclosure in accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974 (Title 5, United States Code, 552a) and/or DOE
directives. Information collected by the contractor for access authorization
processing shall not be used by the contractor for any purpose other than
that for which it is intended and shall not be provided to non-contractor
employees or any other entity or organization without prior approval from
the cognizant DOE office.
k. Recertifications and Reinvestigations.
(1) The contractor shall comply with periodic DOE requests to recertify its
employees’ access authorization status. Usually, the cognizant DOE office
will furnish the contractor with a listing of its applicants and employees
who hold or are being processed for access authorizations, and request that
the contractor annotate the listing with any corrections or adjustments and
return the listing in a timely manner. Recertification, or an examination of
CANCELE
D
DOE O 472.1C Attachment 2
3-25-03 Page 17 (and 18)
access authorization records, also may be requested during the conduct of
a DOE security survey. Specific recertification guidance shall be provided
by the cognizant DOE office.
(2) The contractor shall assist DOE in the conduct of periodic reinvestigations
in accordance with guidance provided by the cognizant DOE office
(reference paragraph 4e above).
8. PERSONNEL SECURITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. The
contractor shall prepare a Personnel Security Assurance Program (PSAP) Implementation
Plan when its site, facility, or an operation is identified as having PSAP Positions, and
shall implement the provisions of the PSAP Implementation Plan within 30 working days
of its approval. The PSAP Implementation Plan shall reflect the PSAP requirements to
which the contractor has agreed (see 10 CFR 710 and related directive requirements).
9. DOE AND NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) ACCESS
AUTHORIZATIONS. Both the DOE and the NRC grant Q and L access authorizations.
The term “access authorization(s)” in this document refers only to DOE access
authorizations.

* For an initial DOE Q access authorization, an Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
Single-Scope Background Investigation or Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Background
Investigation is required. Completed investigations by other agencies can be obtained and used by
DOE for determining an individual’s Q access authorization eligibility if the scope and extent of
the investigation meets DOE specifications.
** For an initial DOE L access authorization, an OPM Access National Agency Check and Inquiries
(ANACI) is required for DOE employees and applicants for employment; and at least an OPM
National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) is required for all other individuals. A
more extensive investigation can be used as a basis for determining an individual’s L access
authorization eligibility. DOE Q access authorization is required for access to Restricted Data or
Formerly Restricted Data designated as Weapon Data, Sigma 14 or Sigma 15.
The type of investigation scheduled with the OPM may be upgraded at the discretion of DOE
personnel security officials when information provided by the individual on the security forms, or
from other sources, reflects the need to obtain more detailed information than is normally
provided as the result of an ANACI or NACLC.
DOE will not normally request a concurrent investigation for an individual who is already being
investigated by an agency for personnel security purposes unless the resultant reports of
investigation will not be sufficient in scope and extent to use as a basis for determining the
individual’s eligibility for a DOE access authorization.

POSITIONS OF A HIGH DEGREE OF IMPORTANCE OR SENSITIVITY
When an individual is selected to occupy one of the positions listed below, his/her security forms
shall be submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the conduct of a background
investigation. DOE shall review the resultant reports of investigation to determine employment
suitability and eligibility for an access authorization.
If an individual will occupy a position in DOE requiring confirmation by the United States
Senate, an FBI background investigation will be scheduled by the White House staff before the
individual’s name is sent to the United States Senate for confirmation hearings. After an
individual has been confirmed by the United States Senate, DOE will obtain a copy of the FBI
reports of investigation.
