HSO SPOTLIGHT No. 006-2008 Change to Headquarters Electronic Access System

What is the issue: Access to DOE Headquarters by Offsite Federal and Contractor Employees Issued a Security Badge
Why do we need this?: Improve the efficiency and accuracy of the electronic access control system used at the Headquarters
Who is impacted: All Offsite Federal and Contractor Employees Issued a Security Badge
What does the HSO need to do?: Distribute to your organizational personnel

To improve the efficiency and accuracy of the electronic access control system used at Headquarters, a change is being made to the access policy for individuals who do not possess a Security Badge issued by Headquarters. Individuals who do not require access to Headquarters at least three days a week for a forty-five day period will be granted access privileges only for the duration of their current visit. They will not be granted open-ended access to Headquarters facilities simply because there is no expiration date on their badge.

Individuals who do meet the access requirement will be granted access for a one-year period when their access requirement is requested by their Headquarters sponsor with the concurrence of their Headquarters Security Officer. Requests for these individuals should be forwarded to the Office of Headquarters Physical Security Operations, HS-1.31.

Questions may be addressed to Marc Smith, HS-1.31, (202) 586-4441.
