This form is to be used for requesting NRC access authorizations for employees of NRC contractors, subcontractors, licensee employees, employees of other government agencies, or other individuals who are not applicants for employment with NRC. Use of this form is required by NRC Management Directive 12.3 for NRC contractors and 10 CFR Parts 11 and 25 for NRC licensees.

INSTRUCTIONS A. PURPOSE OF FORM:

B. MULTIPLE REQUESTS:

A single NRC Form 237 may be used to request access authorizations for several individuals who all require the same type of access authorization (e.g., all "Qs" or all "Rs"). The individuals and their social security numbers may be listed in the remarks section or on a roster appended to the NRC Form 237.

C. WHO PREPARES THE FORM:

The agency or firm employing the individual(s) normally prepares this form (except in the case of a subcontractor, in which case the prime contractor will prepare this form). The NRC sponsoring office or division may prepare this form in the interest of expediency.

D. APPROVALS REQUIRED:

Item 4 must be signed by the agency or firm security officer (or other authorized official). If this request is in connection with an NRC contract, or anticipated contract (e.g. basic ordering agreement),

or for access authorization for licensee personnel or licensee contractor or agents, Items 9 and 10 must be completed and the request must be approved in Item 12.

E. SUBMITTING THE REQUEST:

All requests may be submitted to the address in Item 2; however, when approval in Item 12 is required, it will avoid delay in processing if this request is submitted through the approving NRC official. Security forms completed by the applicant(s) are to be firmly attached to this form. (For certification of an existing security clearance or federal access authorization, NRC licensee related activities should consult 10 CFR Parts 11 or 25, as appropriate, for requested forms and related procedures and fees.)

To assist in the processing of this request, please list in Item 8 or attached roster:

F. PRIOR INVESTIGATIONS AND SECURITY CLEARANCES:

1. Any prior investigations on the applicant(s). Give date, type (i.e., background investigation or national agency checks), and investigating agency; and

2. Any current or prior security clearances (i.e., access authorizations) held by the applicant(s) with NRC or any other agency. Give dates held, level (i.e., Top Secret, Secret, Confidential, "Q," "L,"

"U," or "R"), and agency granting clearance.

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT NRC FORM 237 REQUEST FOR ACCESS AUTHORIZATION

2. PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S): For requesting NRC access authorizations for employees of NRC contractors, subcontractors, licensees and other government agencies, or other individuals who are not employees of or applicants for employment with the NRC.

4. WHETHER DISCLOSURE IS MANDATORY OR VOLUNTARY AND EFFECT ON INDIVIDUAL OF NOT PROVIDING INFORMATION: It is voluntary that you furnish the requested information, however, failure to provide the requested information may result in the denial of entrance and/or access to the agency or facility and the information to which access is requested. Failure to provide the Social Security number (SSN) may delay processing. The use of the SSN is necessary to verify clearance information because of the large number of individuals who have identical names and birth dates, and whose identities can only be distinguished by the SSN.

5. SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS: Director, Division of Facilities and Security, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
