I. Background

This final rule results from a notice of

proposed Rulemaking published in the

Federal Register on November 20, 1996,

61 FR 59072. This rule will accomplish

three objectives.

First, it will revise the classification

contract clause to provide that only

Federal Government employees may

serve as ‘‘original classifiers’’ and that

both Federal Government employees

and contractor employees may serve as

‘‘derivative classifiers.’’ The clause is

also changed to recognize that a balance

is required between the Department’s

mission to protect the national security

and prevent nuclear proliferation and its

commitment to maximize the amount of

information available to the public. As

revised, the clause requires that

information, documents or material

originated or generated in classified or

potentially classified subject areas be

reviewed for classification by the

appropriate officials using proper

classification guidance provided by the

Department. The clause also requires

that documents containing information

which is no longer classified by current

classification guidance be systematically

reviewed for declassification by a

Derivative Declassifier. Only when both

classification and declassification

reviews are performed can the

Department achieve its goal of

protecting the national security while

providing the public with access to as

much Government information as

possible. Definitions of certain terms are

added. These changes are at item 2 of

the final rule, subsection 952.204–70,

the clause itself, and item 5 of the final

rule, subsection 970.0404–4, paragraph

(a)(1), a reference to the clause and its

revised title.

Second, it will provide a definition of

‘‘counterintelligence’’ consistent with

E.O. 12333, a policy statement regarding

DOE’s counterintelligence program, and

a new contract clause on

counterintelligence applicable to certain

DOE management and operating

contractors and other contractors

managing DOE-owned facilities. These

changes appear at item 3 of the final

rule, subsection 970.0404–1, a

definition, item 4 of the final rule,

subsection 970.0404–2, paragraph (e), a

policy statement, item 5, subsection

970.0404–4, paragraph (a)(2), an

instruction for use of the clause, and

item 7, subsection 970.5204–1,

paragraph (b), the text of the clause.

Third, it will revise the DEAR to be

consistent with the recommendations of

the General Accounting Office Report

on Nuclear Security, RCED–93–183, as

implemented by DOE Order 472.1B

entitled ‘‘Personnel Security Activities.’’

The GAO report stressed contractor

responsibility for certifying

preemployment checks conducted on

prospective employees. Where DOE

access authorization is required, the

contractor must perform normal and

prudent preemployment checks and the

applicant’s job qualifications and

suitability must be established before a

request is made to the Department for a

security clearance. This revision is

applicable to DOE management and

operating contractors and other

contractors managing DOE-owned

facilities. Such contractors may, at their

discretion, include this procedure in

their subcontracts where subcontractor

employees are required to hold a DOE

access authorization in order to perform

on-site duties, such as protective force

operations. This change appears at item

6 of the final rule, section 970.2201,

paragraph (b)(1)(ii).
