b. Establish that the contractor in possession of or has custody of AA&E must allow DSS
and other government representatives access to its facilities and records for the purpose of surveys, inspections, and investigations necessary to review compliance of applicable contracts and subcontracts with requirements to protect AA&E.

## 5. Dod Component Heads.  Dod Component Heads Must:

a. Oversee, within their respective Components, compliance with the policy established in this instruction to include planning and programming fiscal and personnel resources necessary to implement this instruction.
b. Conduct pre-award surveys and inspections of government-owned, contractor-operated

activity will provide, in coordination with civil law enforcement authorities, assistance and escort to a suitable location.  Protection of shipment will be commensurate with the sensitivity of the AA&E.  Under safe haven conditions or secure hold, explosive safety quantity distance requirements must be considered, but these requirements will not eliminate the responsibility to provide safe haven or secure hold to mitigate shipment vulnerability.
c. Material weaknesses will be reported in accordance with DoDI 5010.40 (Reference (k)).

## 2. Transfers

a. Export control requirements for AA&E must be implemented in accordance with DoDI

Reference (o) and DoDI 6055.16 (Reference (p)), as implemented by the DoD Components heads, establish acceptable levels of protection for accidental explosions of AA&E.  The explosive safety and physical security of AA&E address hazards associated with unique events; therefore, they specify different levels of protection.  Compliance with both standards is required.  Where conflicts arise, the more stringent criteria will govern.
