(a)
Background
				  investigation elements.
Before allowing an individual unescorted
				  access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material or to the
				  devices that contain the material, a licensee shall complete a background
				  investigation of the individual seeking unescorted access authorization. The
				  scope of the investigation shall encompass at least the 7 years preceding the
				  date of the background investigation or the length of time since the
				  individual's eighteenth birthday, whichever is shorter. The background
				  investigation shall include at a minimum all of the following:
1. 'Criminal history check.' The licensee
				  shall conduct fingerprinting and a FBI identification and criminal history
				  records check under s. DHS 157.9703.
2. 'Verification of true identity.' The
				  licensee shall verify the true identity of the applicant. The licensee shall
				  review official identification documents (e.g. driver's license; passport;
				  government identification; certificate of birth issued by the state, province,
				  or country of birth) and compare the documents to personal information provided
				  by the individual to identify any discrepancy in the information. The licensee
				  shall document the type, expiration, and identification number of the
				  identification document, or maintain a photocopy of identifying documents on
				  file under s. DHS 157.9705. The licensee shall certify in writing that the
				  identification was properly reviewed, and shall maintain the certification and
				  all related documents for review upon inspection.
3. 'Employment history verification.' The
				  licensee shall verify the applicant's employment history, including military
				  history, with each employer for the 7 years immediately preceding the date of
				  application.
4. 'Verification of
				  education.' The licensee shall verify any educational credentials or experience
				  claimed by the applicant.
5.
				  'Character and reputation determination.' The licensee shall complete reference
				  checks to determine the character and reputation of the applicant. Unless other
				  references are not available, references may not be obtained from any person
				  who is known to be a close member of the applicant's family, including but not
				  limited to the applicant's spouse, parents, siblings, or children, or any
				  individual who resides in the applicant's permanent household. Reference checks
				  under this subchapter shall be obtained for the limited purpose of determining
				  whether the applicant has been and continues to be trustworthy and
				  reliable.
6. 'Additional
				  information.' The licensee shall, to the extent possible, obtain independent
				  information to corroborate information provided by the applicant, including but
				  not limited to, seeking references not supplied by the
				  applicant.
