H.7 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII)
In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget's guidance to Federal agencies and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) implementing policy and procedures, a contractor (including subcontractors and contractor employees), who performs work on behalf of the NRC, is responsible for protecting, from unauthorized access or disclosure, personally identifiable information (PII) that may be provided,
313100169C0004 Page 24 of 52 developed, maintained, collected, used, or disseminated, whether in paper, electronic, or other format, during performance of this contract.
A contractor who has access to NRC owned or controlled PII, whether provided to the contractor by the NRC or developed, maintained, collected, used, or disseminated by the contractor during the course of contract performance, must comply with the following requirements:
(1) General. In addition to implementing the specific requirements set forth in this clause, the contractor must adhere to all other applicable NRC guidance, policy and requirements for the handling and protection of NRC owned or controlled PII. The contractor is responsible for making sure that it has an adequate understanding of such guidance, policy and requirements.
(2) Use, Ownership, and Nondisclosure. A contractor may use NRC owned or controlled PII solely for purposes of this contract and may not collect or use such PII for any purpose outside the contract without the prior written approval of the NRC Contracting Officer. The contractor must restrict access to such information to only those contractor employees who need the information to perform work under this contract and must ensure that each such contractor employee (including subcontractors' employees) signs a nondisclosure agreement, in a form suitable to the NRC Contracting Officer, prior to being granted access to the information. The NRC retains sole ownership and rights to its PII. Unless the contract states otherwise, upon completion of the contract, the contractor must turn over all PII in its possession to the NRC and must certify in writing that it has not retained any NRC owned or controlled PII except as otherwise authorized in writing by the NRC Contracting Officer.
(3) Security Plan. When applicable, and unless waived in writing by the NRC Contracting Officer, the contractor must work with the NRC to develop and implement a security plan setting forth adequate procedures for the protection of NRC owned or controlled PII as well as the procedures which the contractor must follow for notifying the NRC in the event of any security breach. The plan will be incorporated into the contract and must be implemented and followed by the contractor once it has been approved by the NRC Contracting Officer. If the contract does not include a security plan at the time of contract award, a plan must be submitted for the approval of the NRC Contracting Officer within 30 days after contract award.
(4) Breach Notification. The contractor must immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officer and the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) upon discovery of any suspected or confirmed breach in the security of NRC owned or controlled PII.
(5) Legal Demands for Information. If a legal demand is made for NRC owned or controlled PII (such as by subpoena), the contractor must immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officer and the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). After notification, the NRC will determine whether and to what extent to comply with the legal demand. The Contracting Officer will then notify the contractor in writing of the determination and such notice will indicate the extent of disclosure authorized, if any.
The contractor may only release the information specifically demanded with the written permission of the NRC Contracting Officer.
313100169C0004 Page 25 of 52 (6) Audits. The NRC may audit the contractor's compliance with the requirements of this clause, including through the use of online compliance software.
(7) Flow-down. The prime contractor will flow this clause down to subcontractors that would be covered by any portion of this clause, as if they were the prime contractor.
(8) Remedies:
(a) The contractor is responsible for implementing and maintaining adequate security controls to prevent the loss of control or unauthorized disclosure of NRC owned or controlled PII in its possession. Furthermore, the contractor is responsible for reporting any known or suspected loss of control or unauthorized access to PII to the NRC in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 4 above.
(b) Should the contractor fail to meet its responsibilities under this clause, the NRC reserves the right to take appropriate steps to mitigate the contractor's violation of this clause. This may include, at the sole discretion of the NRC, termination of the subject contract.
(9) Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other remedies available to the NRC, the contractor will indemnify the NRC against all liability (including costs and fees) for any damages arising out of violations of this clause.
(End of Clause)

Prior to occupying any Government provided space at NRC Headquarters in Rockville Maryland, the Contractor shall obtain written authorization to occupy specifically designated government space, via the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR),
from the Chief, Space Design Branch, Office of Administration. Failure to obtain this prior authorization can result in one, or a combination, of the following remedies as deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer.

H.9 RULES OF BEHAVIOR FOR AUTHORIZED COMPUTER USE In accordance with Appendix III, "Security of Federal Automated Information Resources," to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, "Management of Federal Information Resources," NRC has established rules of behavior for individual users who access all IT computing resources maintained and operated by the NRC or on behalf of the NRC. In response to the direction from OMB, NRC has issued the "Agency-wide Rules of Behavior for Authorized Computer Use" policy, hereafter referred
313100169C0004 Page 26 of 52 to as the rules of behavior. The rules of behavior for authorized computer use will be provided to NRC computer users, including contractor personnel, as part of the annual computer security awareness course.
The rules of behavior apply to all NRC employees, contractors, vendors, and agents (users) who have access to any system operated by the NRC or by a contractor or outside entity on behalf of the NRC. This policy does not apply to licensees. The next revision of Management Directive 12.5, "NRC Automated Information Security Program,"
will include this policy. The rules of behavior can be viewed at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/CSO/documents/ROB.pdf or use NRCs external Web-based ADAMS at http://wba.nrc.gov:8080/ves/ (Under Advanced Search, type ML082190730 in the Query box).
The rules of behavior are effective immediately upon acknowledgement of them by the person who is informed of the requirements contained in those rules of behavior. All current contractor users are required to review and acknowledge the rules of behavior as part of the annual computer security awareness course completion. All new NRC contractor personnel will be required to acknowledge the rules of behavior within one week of commencing work under this contract and then acknowledge as current users thereafter. The acknowledgement statement can be viewed at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/CSO/documents/ROB_Ack.pdf or use NRCs external Web-based ADAMS at http://wba.nrc.gov:8080/ves/ (Under Advanced Search, type ML082190730 in the Query box).
The NRC Computer Security Office will review and update the rules of behavior annually beginning in FY 2011 by December 31st of each year. Contractors shall ensure that their personnel to which this requirement applies acknowledge the rules of behavior before beginning contract performance and, if the period of performance for the contract lasts more than one year, annually thereafter. Training on the meaning and purpose of the rules of behavior can be provided for contractors upon written request to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR).
The contractor shall flow down this clause into all subcontracts and other agreements that relate to performance of this contract/order if such subcontracts/agreements will authorize access to NRC electronic and information technology (EIT) as that term is defined in FAR 2.101.
(End of Clause)
H.10 ANNUAL AND FINAL CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS Annual and final evaluations of contractor performance under this contract will be prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.15, "Contractor Performance Information,"
normally at or near the time the contractor is notified of the NRC's intent to exercise the contract option. If the multi-year contract does not have option years, then an annual evaluation will be prepared N/A. Final evaluations of contractor performance will be prepared at the expiration of the contract during the contract closeout process.
The Contracting Officer will transmit the NRC Contracting Officers Representatives (COR) annual and final contractor performance evaluations to the contractor's Project Manager, unless otherwise instructed by the contractor. The contractor will be permitted
313100169C0004 Page 27 of 52 thirty days to review the document and submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information.
Where a contractor concurs with, or takes no exception to an annual performance evaluation, the Contracting Officer will consider such evaluation final and releasable for source selection purposes. Disagreements between the parties regarding a performance evaluation will be referred to an individual one level above the Contracting Officer, whose decision will be final.
The Contracting Officer will send a copy of the completed evaluation report, marked "Source Selection Information, to the contractor's Project Manager for their records as soon as practicable after it has been finalized. The completed evaluation report also will be used as a tool to improve communications between the NRC and the contractor and to improve contract performance.
The completed annual performance evaluation will be used to support future award decisions in accordance with FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503. During the period the information is being used to provide source selection information, the completed annual performance evaluation will be released to only two parties - the Federal government personnel performing the source selection evaluation and the contractor under evaluation if the contractor does not have a copy of the report already.
(End of Clause)

The Contractor is responsible for the currency, accuracy and completeness of the data within SAM, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in SAM after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its information in SAM to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.
(d)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name or "doing business as" name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to-(A) Change the name in SAM; (B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in SAM.

(b) It is the contractor's duty to safeguard National Security Information, Restricted Data, and Formerly Restricted Data. The contractor shall, in accordance with the Commission's security regulations and requirements, be responsible for safeguarding National Security Information, Restricted Data, and Formerly Restricted Data, and for protecting against sabotage, espionage, loss, and theft, the classified documents and material in the contractor's possession in connection with the performance of work under this contract.

The contractor agrees to return the information to the Commission or otherwise dispose of it at the direction of the contracting officer. Failure to comply with this clause is grounds for termination of this contract.

The contractor shall also execute a Standard Form 312, Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement, when access to classified information is required.
(i) Criminal liabilities. Disclosure of National Security Information, Restricted Data, and Formerly Restricted Data relating to the work or services ordered hereunder to any person not entitled to receive it, or failure to safeguard any Restricted Data, Formerly Restricted Data, or any other classified matter that may come to the contractor or any person under the contractor's control in connection with work under this contract, may subject the contractor, its agents, employees, or subcontractors to criminal liability under the laws of the United States. (See the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.; 18 U.S.C. 793 and 794; and Executive Order 12958.)

(End of Clause)
I.8 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDING ACCESS APPROVAL (SEP 2013)
The Contractor shall ensure that all its employees, subcontractor employees or consultants who are assigned to perform the work herein for contract performance for periods of more than 30 calendar days at NRC facilities, are approved by the NRC for unescorted NRC building access.
The Contractor shall conduct a preliminary federal facilities security screening interview or review for each of its employees, subcontractor employees, and consultants and submit to the NRC only the names of candidates for contract performance that have a reasonable probability of obtaining approval necessary for access to NRC's federal facilities. The Contractor shall pre-screen its applicants for the following:
(a) felony arrest in the last seven (7) years; (b) alcohol related arrest within the last five (5) years; (c) record of any military courts-martial convictions in the past ten (10) years; (d) illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances possession in the past year, or illegal purchase, production, transfer, or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances in the last seven (7) years; and (e) delinquency on any federal debts or bankruptcy in the last seven (7) years.
The Contractor shall make a written record of its pre-screening interview or review (including any information to mitigate the responses to items listed in (a) - (e)), and have the applicant verify the pre-screening record or review, sign and date it. Two (2) copies of the pre-screening signed record or review shall be supplied to the Division of Facilities
313100169C0004 Page 42 of 52 and Security, Personnel Security Branch (DFS/PSB) with the Contractor employee's completed building access application package.
The Contractor shall further ensure that its employees, any subcontractor employees and consultants complete all building access security applications required by this clause within fourteen (14) calendar days of notification by DFS/PSB of initiation of the application process. Timely receipt of properly completed records of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record or review and building access security applications (submitted for candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of access authorization necessary for access to NRC's facilities) is a contract requirement.
Failure of the Contractor to comply with this contract administration requirement may be a basis to cancel the award, or terminate the contract for default, or offset from the contract's invoiced cost or price the NRC's incurred costs or delays as a result of inadequate pre-screening by the Contractor. In the event of cancellation or termination, the NRC may select another firm for contract award.
A Contractor, subcontractor employee or consultant shall not have access to NRC facilities until he/she is approved by DFS/PSB. Temporary access may be approved based on a favorable NRC review and discretionary determination of their building access security forms. Final building access will be approved based on favorably adjudicated checks by the Government. However, temporary access approval will be revoked and the Contractor's employee may subsequently be denied access in the event the employee's investigation cannot be favorably determined by the NRC. Such employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract requiring building access without the approval of DFS/PSB. When an individual receives final access, the individual will be subject to a review or reinvestigation every five (5) or ten (10) years, depending on their job responsibilities at the NRC.
The Government shall have and exercise full and complete control and discretion over granting, denying, withholding, or terminating building access approvals for individuals performing work under this contract. Individuals performing work under this contract at NRC facilities for a period of more than 30 calendar days shall be required to complete and submit to the Contractor representative an acceptable OPM Standard Form 85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions), and two (2) FD 258 (Fingerprint Charts).
Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any applicant with less than five (5) years residency in the U.S. will not be approved for building access. The Contractor shall submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB.
DFS/PSB may, among other things, grant or deny temporary unescorted building access approval to an individual based upon its review of the information contained in the OPM Standard Form 85 and the Contractor's pre-screening record. Also, in the exercise of its authority, the Government may, among other things, grant or deny permanent building access approval based on the results of its review or investigation. This submittal requirement also applies to the officers of the firm who, for any reason, may visit the NRC work sites for an extended period of time during the term of the contract. In the event that DFS/PSB are unable to grant a temporary or permanent building access approval, to any individual performing work under this contract, the Contractor is
313100169C0004 Page 43 of 52 responsible for assigning another individual to perform the necessary function without any delay in the contract's performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract. The Contractor is responsible for informing those affected by this procedure of the required building access approval process (i.e.,
temporary and permanent determinations), and the possibility that individuals may be required to wait until permanent building access approvals are granted before beginning work in NRC's buildings.
CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF BUILDING ACCESS/ REQUEST The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR when a Contractor or subcontractor employee or consultant's need for NRC building access approval is withdrawn or the need by the Contractor employee's for building access terminates. The COR will immediately notify DFS/PSB (via e-mail) when a Contractor employee no longer requires building access. The Contractor shall be required to return any NRC issued badges to the COR for return to DFS/FSB (Facilities Security Branch) within three (3) days after their termination.
(End of Clause)
I.9 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LEVEL I OR LEVEL II ACCESS APPROVAL (JUL 2016)
The contractor must identify all individuals selected to work under this contract. The NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) shall make the final determination of the level, if any, of IT access approval required for all individuals working under this contract/order using the following guidance. The Government shall have full and complete control and discretion over granting, denying, withholding, or terminating IT access approvals for contractor personnel performing work under this contract/order.
The contractor shall conduct a preliminary security interview or review for each employee requiring IT level I or II access and submit to the Government only the names of candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of IT access approval for which the employee has been proposed. The contractor shall pre-screen its applicants for the following:
(a) felony arrest in the last seven (7) years; (b) alcohol related arrest within the last five (5) years; (c) record of any military courts-martial convictions in the past ten (10) years; (d) illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances possession in the past year, or illegal purchase, production, transfer, or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances in the last seven (7) years; and (e) delinquency on any federal debts or bankruptcy in the last seven (7) years.
The contractor shall make a written record of its pre-screening interview or review (including any information to mitigate the responses to items listed in (a) - (e)), and have the employee verify the pre-screening record or review, sign and date it. The contractor shall supply two (2) copies of the signed contractor's pre-screening record or review to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR), who will then provide them to the NRC Office of Administration, Division of Facilities and Security, Personnel Security Branch with the employees completed IT access application package.
313100169C0004 Page 44 of 52 The contractor shall further ensure that its personnel complete all IT access approval security applications required by this clause within fourteen (14) calendar days of notification by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) of initiation of the application process. Timely receipt of properly completed records of the pre-screening record and IT access approval applications (submitted for candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of security assurance necessary for access to NRC's IT systems/data) is a requirement of this contract/order. Failure of the contractor to comply with this requirement may be a basis to terminate the contract/order for cause, or to offset from the contract's invoiced cost or price the NRC's incurred costs or delays as a result of inadequate pre-screening by the contractor.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR IT LEVEL I Performance under this contract/order will involve contractor personnel who perform services requiring direct access to or operation of agency sensitive information technology systems or data (IT Level I). The IT Level I involves responsibility for: (a) the planning, direction, and implementation of a computer security program; (b) major responsibility for the direction, planning, and design of a computer system, including hardware and software; (c) the capability to access a computer system during its operation or maintenance in such a way that could cause or that has a relatively high risk of causing grave damage; or (d) the capability to realize a significant personal gain from computer access.
Contractor personnel shall not have access to sensitive information technology systems or data until they are approved by DFS/PSB and they have been so informed in writing by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Temporary IT access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorable review or adjudication of their security forms and checks. Final IT access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorably review or adjudication of a completed background investigation. However, temporary access authorization approval will be revoked and the employee may subsequently be denied IT access in the event the employees investigation cannot be favorably adjudicated. Such an employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract/order requiring IT access without the approval of DFS/PSB, as communicated in writing to the contractor by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Where temporary access authorization has been revoked or denied by DFS/PSB, the contractor shall assign another contractor employee to perform the necessary work under this contract/order without delay to the contract/order performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract/order. When an individual receives final IT access approval from DFS/PSB, the individual will be subject to a reinvestigation every ten (10) years thereafter (assuming continuous performance under contracts/orders at NRC) or more frequently in the event of noncontinuous performance under contracts/orders at NRC.
CORs are responsible for submitting the completed access/clearance request package as well as other documentation that is necessary to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall submit a completed security forms packet, including the OPM Standard Form (SF) 86 (online Questionnaire for National Security Positions), two (2) copies of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record, and two (2) FD 258 fingerprint charts, to DFS/PSB for review and adjudication, prior to the individual being authorized to perform work under this contract/order requiring access to sensitive information technology systems or data.
Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their
313100169C0004 Page 45 of 52 legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any applicant with less than seven (7) years residency in the U.S. will not be approved for IT Level I access. The Contractor shall submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall ensure that all forms are accurate, complete, and legible. Based on DFS/PSB review of the contractor employees security forms and/or the receipt of adverse information by NRC, the contractor individual may be denied access to NRC facilities and sensitive information technology systems or data until a final determination is made by DFS/PSB. The contractor individuals clearance status will thereafter be communicated to the contractor by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) regarding the contractor persons eligibility.
In accordance with NRCAR 2052.204-70 "Security," IT Level I contractors shall be subject to the attached NRC Form 187 and SF-86. Together, these furnish the basis for providing security requirements to contractors that have or may have an NRC contractual relationship which requires access to or operation of agency sensitive information technology systems, remote development and/or analysis of sensitive information technology systems or data, or other access to such systems and data; access on a continuing basis (in excess more than 30 calendar days) to NRC buildings; or otherwise requires issuance of an unescorted NRC badge.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR IT LEVEL II Performance under this contract/order will involve contractor personnel that develop and/or analyze sensitive information technology systems or data or otherwise have access to such systems or data (IT Level II).
The IT Level II involves responsibility for the planning, design, operation, or maintenance of a computer system and all other computer or IT positions.
Contractor personnel shall not have access to sensitive information technology systems or data until they are approved by DFS/PSB and they have been so informed in writing by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Temporary access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorable review of their security forms and checks.
Final IT access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorably adjudication.
However, temporary access authorization approval will be revoked and the contractor employee may subsequently be denied IT access in the event the employee's investigation cannot be favorably adjudicated. Such an employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract/order requiring IT access without the approval of DFS/PSB, as communicated in writing to the contractor by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Where temporary access authorization has been revoked or denied by DFS/PSB, the contractor is responsible for assigning another contractor employee to perform the necessary work under this contract/order without delay to the contract/order performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract/order. When a contractor employee receives final IT access approval from DFS/PSB, the individual will be subject to a review or reinvestigation every ten (10) years (assuming continuous performance under contract/order at NRC) or more frequently in the event of noncontinuous performance under contract/order at NRC.
313100169C0004 Page 46 of 52 CORs are responsible for submitting the completed access/clearance request package as well as other documentation that is necessary to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall submit a completed security forms packet, including the OPM Standard Form (SF) 86 (online Questionnaire for National Security Positions), two (2) copies of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record and two (2) FD 258 fingerprint charts, to DFS/PSB for review and adjudication, prior to the contractor employee being authorized to perform work under this contract/order. Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The Contractor shall submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall ensure that all forms are accurate, complete, and legible. Based on DFS/PSB review of the contractor employees security forms and/or the receipt of adverse information by NRC, the contractor employee may be denied access to NRC facilities, sensitive information technology systems or data until a final determination is made by DFS/PSB regarding the contractor persons eligibility.
In accordance with NRCAR 2052.204-70 "Security," IT Level II contractors shall be subject to the attached NRC Form 187, SF-86, and contractor's record of the pre-screening. Together, these furnish the basis for providing security requirements to contractors that have or may have an NRC contractual relationship which requires access to or operation of agency sensitive information technology systems, remote development and/or analysis of sensitive information technology systems or data, or other access to such systems or data; access on a continuing basis (in excess of more than 30 calendar days) to NRC buildings; or otherwise requires issuance of an unescorted NRC badge.
CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF IT ACCESS/REQUEST When a request for IT access is to be withdrawn or canceled, the contractor shall immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) by telephone so that the access review may be promptly discontinued. The notification shall contain the full name of the contractor employee and the date of the request. Telephone notifications must be promptly confirmed by the contractor in writing to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR), who will forward the confirmation to DFS/PSB. Additionally, the contractor shall immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) in writing, who will in turn notify DFS/PSB, when a contractor employee no longer requires access to NRC sensitive automated information technology systems or data, including the voluntary or involuntary separation of employment of a contractor employee who has been approved for or is being processed for IT access.
The contractor shall flow the requirements of this clause down into all subcontracts and agreements with consultants for work that requires them to access NRC IT resources.

I.16 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 508 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973, AS AMENDED (SEP 2013)
In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §794d) as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105 - 220), August 7, 1998 to
313100169C0004 Page 50 of 52 require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, open new opportunities for people with disabilities, and encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. §794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to access available to others.
Specifically, Section 508 of that Act requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use EIT, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. (36 C.F.R. §1194 implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and is viewable at: http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm)
Exceptions.
All EIT that the government acquires by purchase or by lease/rental under this contract must meet the applicable accessibility standards at 36 C.F.R. Part 1194, unless one or more of the following exceptions at FAR 39.204 applies to this acquisition (applicable if checked):
[ ] The EIT is for a national security system.
[ ] The EIT is acquired by a contractor incidental to a contract.
[ ] The EIT is located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment.
[ ] Compliance with the applicable 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 provisions would impose an undue burden on the agency.
Applicable Standards.
The following accessibility standards from 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 have been determined to be applicable to this contract/order. See www.section508.gov for more information:
[ ] 1194.21 Software applications and operating systems.
[ ] 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications. 16 rules.
