Sec.  140.23  General access requirements.

    (a) Determination of trustworthiness. No person shall be given 
access to classified information unless a favorable determination has 
been made as to the person's trustworthiness. The determination of 
eligibility, referred to as a security clearance, shall be based on such 
investigations as the Commission may require in accordance with the 
applicable Office of Personnel Management standards and criteria.
    (b) Determination of need-to-know. A person is not entitled to 
receive classified information solely by virtue of having been granted a 
security clearance. A person must also have a need for access to the 
particular classified information sought in connection with the 
performance of official government duties or contractual obligations. 
The determination of that need shall be made by officials having 
responsibility for the classified information.
