Sec. 25.23  Notification of grant of access authorization.

    The determination to grant or renew access authorization will be 
furnished in writing to the licensee or organization that initiated the 
request. Upon receipt of the notification of original grant of access 
authorization, the licensee or organization shall obtain, as a condition 
for grant of access authorization and access to classified information, 
an executed ``Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement'' (SF-312) 
from the affected individual. The SF-312 is an agreement between

the United States and an individual who is cleared for access to 
classified information. An employee issued an initial access 
authorization shall execute a SF-312 before being granted access to 
classified information. The licensee or other organization shall forward 
the executed SF-312 to the CSA for retention. If the employee refuses to 
execute the SF-312, the licensee or other organization shall deny the 
employee access to classified information and submit a report to the 
CSA. The SF-312 must be signed and dated by the employee and witnessed. 
The employee's and witness' signatures must bear the same date. The 
individual shall also be given a security orientation briefing in 
accordance with Sec. 95.33 of this chapter. Records of access 
authorization grant and renewal notification must be maintained by the 
licensee or other organization for three years after the access 
authorization has been terminated by the CSA. This information may also 
be furnished to other representatives of the Commission, to licensees, 
contractors, or other Federal agencies. Notifications of access 
authorization will not be given in writing to the affected individual 
except:
    (a) In those cases when the determination was made as a result of a 
Personnel Security Hearing or by a Personnel Security Review Panel ; or
    (b) When the individual also is the official designated by the 
licensee or other organization to whom written NRC notifications are 
forwarded.
