PART 25_ACCESS AUTHORIZATION FOR LICENSEE PERSONNEL--Table of Contents
 
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.
