4. REQUIREMENTS.
a. Background. Pursuant to E.O. 12333 and DOE Procedures for Intelligence
Activities, it is DOE policy to protect programs, resources, facilities, and
personnel from intelligence collection by or on behalf of international terrorists
or foreign powers or entities and related threats through implementation of an
effective, efficient CI program. Since the signing of Presidential Decision
Directive (PDD) 61, U.S. Department of Energy Counterintelligence Program
(U) (February 1998), the Department has taken aggressive measures to strengthen
the CI program now administered by the DOE Office of Counterintelligence
DOE O 475.1 3
12-10-04
(OCI) and the NNSA Office of Defense Nuclear Counterintelligence (ODNCI).
This Order reflects the current CI program scope and requirements.
b. Program Organization.
(1) The CI Program is comprised of the DOE OCI and the NNSA
ODNCI.
(2) The OCI includes the following programs:
(a) Analysis;
(b) Operations and Investigations;
(c) Plans, Policy, Training and Awareness;
(d) Information and Special Technologies;
(e) Inspections; and
(f) CI Evaluation Program (CIEP), which includes the Polygraph
Program.
(3) These programs are shared resources between OCI and ODNCI. Both the
OCI Director and the ODNCI Chief direct the managers of these
programs, with the exception of the Inspections and Polygraph programs,
which are directed solely by the OCI Director.
(4) The OCI Director is responsible for administrative management of the
OCI program directors, their staffs and related support staffs, and OCI
Headquarters activities. The OCI Director executes these responsibilities
in coordination with the ODNCI Chief.
(5) The CI Program also consists of specific field elements that perform CI
functions. The OCI Director and ODNCI Chief manage these field
elements in accordance with this Order. To maintain a centrally managed
CI Program and achieve a graded approach to CI across DOE [see
paragraph 4(e), below], local CI offices have been established at specific
DOE locations. Some of these offices act as servicing CI offices for
additional facilities because of existing organizational relationships or
geographic proximity. This Order does not limit the authority of the OCI
Director and ODNCI Chief to add or eliminate programs or change the
Headquarters or field organizational structure to execute the CI Program
effectively.
(6) A close, cooperative relationship between OCI and ODNCI management
is essential to the successful execution of the DOE CI mission.
4 DOE O 475.1
12-10-04
c. Program Independence.
(1) To ensure that the program operates independent of other DOE
organizations, the OCI Director will report directly to the Secretary and the
ODNCI Chief will report directly to the NNSA Administrator. Both also
will have direct access to all Departmental officials and contractors. The
ODNCI Chief also will have direct access to the Secretary.
(2) All DOE elements will cooperate fully with OCI/ODNCI program
activities and will make available all appropriate files/records (regardless
of media), facilities, activities, security information, information
technology (IT) systems, and databases that are within their purview
following verification of access authorization and need-to-know.

information, the CI Program Headquarters and field elements will conduct the
following activities.
(1) Analyze and assess the threat posed by these entities and their activities
and advise the Department/Administration on potential threats.
(2) Develop and execute a comprehensive CI awareness program that includes
regular briefings to ensure that personnel are aware of their responsibilities
in support of the CI Program. Briefings will be integrated into or provided
in conjunction with required security briefings (e.g., new hires’ initial
briefings and comprehensive and annual refresher briefings).
(3) An effective CI awareness program for employees includes the
following.
(a) Initial and comprehensive briefings on CI. Topics include but are
not limited to overview of the foreign intelligence collection and
international terrorist threat, espionage indicators, and reporting
requirements.
(b) Annual refresher briefings designed to reinforce and update
awareness of CI issues and employees’ responsibilities.

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE O 475.1, Counterintelligence Program
Regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor is responsible for compliance with the
requirements of this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD). The contractor is responsible
for flowing down the requirements of this CRD to subcontractors at any tier to the extent
necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance with the requirements. In doing so, the
contractor will not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts. That
is, the contractor will ensure that it and its subcontractors comply with the requirements of this
CRD to the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance and only incur costs that
would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
The purpose of the Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) Counterintelligence (CI) Program is to gather information and engage in activities that
are designed to protect Departmental resources and personnel against espionage or other
intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign powers,
organizations, or persons or international terrorist activities.
This CRD establishes CI requirements for DOE contractors, including NNSA contractors.
BACKGROUND. The Director of the DOE Office of Counterintelligence (OCI) or the
Chief of the NNSA Office of Defense Nuclear Counterintelligence (ODNCI) consults
with appropriate DOE field site/facility management within their respective jurisdictions
to establish local CI offices with full-time Federal and contractor CI personnel who
implement the CI Program.
In addition, determinations are made concerning each local CI office as to whether it will
act as a servicing CI office for facilities that do not have local CI offices. A CI office
may service more than one field office or site. The OCI Director/ODNCI Chief, to
support CI Program requirements, may change the scope of responsibility for each local
CI office.
For managing and operating contractors, when it is determined that no local CI office is
required, a servicing CI office for that contract will be designated and the contractor will
be required to support the requirements of the site-specific CI plan developed for that
contract in coordination with the servicing CI office and the OCI Director or the ODNCI
Chief, as appropriate. At facilities not requiring a local CI office, a servicing CI office
will be designated. For facilities supported by a servicing CI office an individual at the
serviced site will be designated by site/facility management as the on-site contractor CI
Representative. This selection should be coordinated with the servicing CI office Federal
or contractor SCIO and the OCI Director or the ODNCI Chief as appropriate. All
contractor CI personnel are required to work in close cooperation with field and
Headquarters Federal CI personnel.
