Beth Bradshaw, Personnel Security-Branch, Division of Security, Office of Administration, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory comission, F!ashington, DC - 20555, telephone:

(301) 492-4120.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Apr11'12,1989, the Executive Director for Cperationsfap(prov)ed the immediate addition er a credit check.to the s EbO of the initial investigation coverage required for an NRC "L" security 1

clearance for NRC_ employees, contractors, and other non-licensee-U 7hc En personnel, dalso approved the-initiation of_ rulemaking to implement the same' investi79ative scope change for "R and "L" licensee applicants. #

The current investigative coverage for "r" and "L" appifcants normally consists of a National Agency Check (NAC)_ conducted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPN). While a NAC provicas important coverage of an individual's background (e.g., FBI criminal history fingerprint and name checks; record checks with OPM, the Department of Defense (000) and otner applicable agencies), it toes not provide information concerning an individual's current financial Littation. NRC proposes, therefore, to expand the present investigative scope for an "R" special nuclear material access authorization or "L" security clearance by adding a credit check.

' The addition of the credit check is necessary to achieve a higher degree of assurance that "R" and "L" applicants are reliable, trustworth and do

~ not have any significant financial problems which may cause them to be susceptible to precsures, blackmail or coercion to act contrary to the g

J national interest.

In October 1987, OPM added several significant q

financial questions to its SF-86, " Questionnaire for Sensitive Positions,"

s ('

l l

11 which the iaC currently uses as a basis-for its persornel security

' inves t iga tions'.. OPM added these questions in' order to identify security related concerns and possible exploitable weaknesses in a persons's back.

ground.. In view of recent espionage for money cases,.it is important to identify those' individuals who have serious financial difficulties and t

are, therefore, more susceptibic to commiting espionage or similar activities against the United States.

9 h

furthermore, NRC has found, based on actual case exp'.rience, that an

' individual's financial difficulties may be an indicator or result of other more serious problems such as drug abuse, alcohol abuse,or g(s - J r/

The applicable fee schedules will be revised to reflect the additional cost associated with the conduct of the credit check.

l Specifically, the fee for an NRC "R" special nuclear material access authorization or "L" security clearance will increase from $15.00 to

$25.00.
