## Enclosure 3 Procedures

 1.  ACCESS
a.  Criteria.  Access to RD information within and between DoD Components, including contractor activities, will be governed by the same procedures and criteria that govern the access to other classified information in accordance with References (e) through (g).  Individuals granted access shall:

(1)  Require access in the performance of official duties (also known as "need to know").



(2)  Have a valid DoD security clearance at a level commensurate with the information concerned.


b.  Requests for Access.  Requests for access to RD in the possession of the DOE or other Federal agencies designated by the DOE, other than DoD and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will be made utilizing DOE Form 5631.20, "Request for Visit or Access Approval."  DOE Form 5631.20 may be accessed at the following DOE website: http://cio.energy.gov/program_planning&mgmt_5000-5999.htm.


(1)  The Secretary of Defense; the Deputy Secretary of Defense; the Secretaries of the Military Departments; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Under Secretaries of Defense; the Chairman, Nuclear Weapons Council; the Directors of the Defense Agencies; and their designees, are authorized to certify the need of DoD personnel, under their jurisdiction, to have access to RD in the possession of the DOE and other Federal agencies designated by the DOE.  These officials shall forward their lists of designees to the DASD(NM), who shall transmit a composite list to the DOE and to the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Review for incorporation into Enclosure 4 of this Instruction.  Strict adherence to need-to-know principles will be followed.

(a)  For the Navy and the Air Force, the authority to certify for RD access in the possession of DOE shall not be designated below the level of the authority granting the security clearance. (b)  For the Army, the authority to certify for RD access shall not be designated below brigade level or equivalent. (c)  For contractor employees, the need for access to RD will, in all cases, be certified by a Government Contracting Officer.


(2)  Those persons listed in subparagraph 1.b.(1) of this Enclosure, or their designees, shall submit requests for access to RD through established security channels directly to:

Department of Energy Director of Safeguards and Security Washington, DC  20545


(3)  DoD requests for access to RD in the possession of Federal agencies other than DoD
pertaining to the Army Research Reactor Program and the Navy Research Reactor Program shall be submitted to:

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Division of Security Washington, DC 20555

(4)  In situations other than specified in subparagraphs 1.b.(2) and 1.b.(3) of this Enclosure, DoD requests for access to RD in the custody of DOE personnel shall be submitted to the DOE Headquarters Division having responsibility for the subject matter involved.


(5)  When it is necessary for a DoD activity to establish authority for requesting access directly from DOE Managers of Operations, a request for such authority shall be submitted to the DOE Headquarters Division responsible for the program to which access is required.


(6)  DOE has authorized its personnel to accept oral requests in emergencies.  In those instances, all of the information required in DOE Form 5631.20 shall be provided.  Thereafter, an appropriate written confirmation shall be forwarded within 15 days following an oral request.
Personnel authorized to approve requests for access to or release of RD shall make determinations of emergency situations or conditions.


(7)  If an individual requires repeated access to the same type of information or continuing visits to a facility, under the cognizance of the same approving authority, the request shall so specify.  Local arrangements for continuing access may be made for a specified period not to exceed 1 year.  Access by members of the Military Services may be arranged for the specified period of the assignment for which access was originally approved.


c.  Access to CNWDI.  Access to and dissemination of CNWDI, as defined in the Glossary, is of particular concern to the DoD.  Because of the extreme sensitivity of this type of information, access must be limited to the absolute minimum number of persons who need it to accomplish their assigned responsibilities.  To meet this objective, the following special procedures for controlling CNWDI information have been established.


(1)  At a minimum, the required security clearances for personnel eligible for access to CNWDI shall be final TOP SECRET or SECRET (as appropriate), or DOE "Q" for non-DoD personnel.


(2)  U.S. citizenship is required, except in rare instances when an immigrant alien may possess a unique or very unusual talent or skill that is essential to the U.S. Government and not possessed to a comparable degree by an available U.S. citizen.  In such exceptional cases, an affirmative determination shall be made that it is in the overall best interests of the United States to grant CNWDI access to an immigrant alien.  Such a determination shall be made by the Secretary of Defense or his designee, based upon the recommendation of the responsible DoD Component Head.



(3)  Written or oral communication of CNWDI shall be strictly limited to those personnel who have a need to know.  Management personnel at all levels shall not automatically approve requests for access to CNWDI, but shall insist upon full justification and shall reject any requests that are not completely justified.  The Head of each DoD Component and management personnel at all levels are assigned a special responsibility to ensure that this need-to-know principle is strictly enforced.


(4)  Personnel having a need for access to CNWDI shall be briefed on its sensitivity.
Briefing and access authorizations will be recorded in appropriate security records.  Records of CNWDI briefings and access authorizations will be maintained in a manner that would facilitate verification.


(5)  Documents or other media as defined in Reference (e), that contain CNWDI shall be clearly marked, "Critical Nuclear Weapons Design Information - DoD Instruction 5210.02
applies."  Similar documents published prior to the date of this Instruction will be similarly marked when they are withdrawn from files.  In addition, paragraphs of documents that contain CNWDI will be marked with "(N)" following the classification (e.g., (S-RD)(N)).  This additional marking denotes that the classified material is additionally identified as CNWDI.


(6)  Except for the special requirements enumerated in subparagraph 1.c.(5) of this Enclosure, access to CNWDI within and between DoD Components, including DoD contractors, will be controlled in the same manner as other classified information in accordance with References (e) through (g).



d.  Access to Sigma 14, Sigma 15, and Sigma 20 Information.  Access and distribution of Sigma 14, Sigma 15, and Sigma 20 nuclear weapon data (NWD) is restricted to those individuals with:


(1)  Appropriate Sigma 14, Sigma 15, or Sigma 20 authorization requested and approved through the DASD(NM).


(2)  Valid need to know.


(3)  Final TOP SECRET clearance based on a single scope background investigation or TOP SECRET "Q" for non-DoD personnel.


(4)  Access authorization does not imply need to know for all Sigma 14, Sigma 15, and Sigma 20 NWD.


(5)  Access authorization of Sigma 15 or Sigma 20 does not grant access to Sigma 14
NWD.



(6)  Access verification for Sigma 14, Sigma 15, and Sigma 20 information shall be requested through the DoD Use Control Site Coordinator, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Matters (ODASD(NM)).


e.  Reciprocity.  For other Federal agencies who have a need to know in the performance of their official duties, DoD Components will accept DOE and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) clearances for access to classified information including RD as shown in Table 1.

d.  Differences Between RD and FRD and NSI.  Table 2 illustrates the differences between

markings and declassification requirements for RD, FRD, and NSI.



RD AND FRD
NSI
Authority
Atomic Energy Act of 1954
Executive Order 13526 (Reference (ni)) Documents containing only NSI are automatically declassified on occurrence of an event or date unless specifically exempted. Documents containing only NSI can be declassified by any reviewer designated by the originating
agency.
Declassification
Documents containing RD or FRD are not subject to automatic declassification; in
accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, they always require review prior to declassification. Documents containing RD can only be declassified by authorized DOE reviewers.

Documents containing FRD can only be declassified if it is jointly agreed to by both DOE and DoD reviewers and approved by the designated representative of both departments.  Normally, DoD
initiates declassification requests of FRD
material.
Documents containing only NSI are marked in accordance with Reference (e). Documents containing only NSI must contain automatic declassification instructions. Documents containing only NSI must be portion marked.
Marking
Documents containing RD or FRD must have a special warning notice on the front page indicating the presence of RD or FRD.  Additional markings on the interior pages are also required. Documents containing RD or FRD do not have automatic declassification instructions on the front page, even if NSI is also present in the document. DoD documents containing RD or FRD require portion marking.

4.  DECLASSIFICATION
a.  Declassification of RD and FRD documents.  Only designated individuals within the DOE
may declassify RD documents.  Only designated individuals within the DoD (Office of the ASD(NCB)) and the DOE may declassify documents marked as FRD as a joint determination by both departments in accordance with joint DoD-DOE classification guides or DoD guides coordinated with DOE.

b.  Automatic declassification prohibition.


(1)  Documents containing RD and FRD remain classified until a positive action by an authorized individual is taken within DOE for RD information and jointly by DoD-DOE for FRD
or in accordance with joint DoD-DOE classification guides or DoD guides coordinated with DOE.


(2)  In accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and section 1045.38
of Reference (d), no date or event for automatic declassification will be applied to RD and FRD
documents, even if such documents also contain NSI.



(3)  RD and FRD are exempt from all provisions of Reference (ni) or its predecessor Executive orders, as amended, including automatic declassification. 5.  TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
a.  In accordance with section 1045.35 of Reference (d), RD management officials shall ensure that persons with access to RD and FRD information are informed on the authorities required to classify and declassify RD and FRD information and documents and on handling procedures.  RD classifiers shall be trained on the procedures for classifying, declassifying, marking, and handling RD and FRD information and documents.

b.  Training shall be at a DOE-certified course or with training materials provided by or coordinated with DOE by authorized DoD RD management officials.
