The rule provides for exceptions to inspection requirements that might otherwise apply to such contractors, if DoD determines that an exception is necessary in the interest of national security. C.

Under the U.S.-International Atomic Energy Agency Additional
Protocol (U.S.-IAEA AP), the United States is required to declare a
wide range of public and private nuclear-related activities to the IAEA
and potentially provide access to IAEA inspectors for verification
purposes. The Department of Commerce issued a final rule at 73 FR 65120
on October 31, 2008, to implement the U.S.-IAEA AP.
The U.S.-IAEA AP permits the United States unilaterally to declare
exclusions from inspection requirements for activities with direct
national security significance. This DFARS rule contains a contract
clause requiring a contractor to notify the applicable DoD program
manager if the contractor is required to report any of its activities
under the U.S.-IAEA AP. Upon such a notification, DoD will determine if
access may be granted to IAEA inspectors, or if a national security
exclusion should be applied.
DoD published a proposed rule at 73 FR 48185 on August 18, 2008.
