' llt) QVM S)
F' Chairman Jackson's Comments on SECY 99-104 I approve of the staff proposal to modify the NRC personnel security program. The staff has done an excellent job implementing Commission guidance in this area. I suspect that under the new criteria even more positions in certain offices can be designated as requiring "L" or "L plus Single Scope Background Investigation" clearances, rather than "Q" clearances. However, I agree with Commissioner Merrifield that we should proceed with caution, ensuring full consideration of the potential effects of these modifications.
For example, as a result of the changes described in SECY 99-104, the staff will have less flexibility to implement rotational assignments because the number of staff with the necessary clearances for certain positions will be reduced. In addition, I agree with Commissioner Diaz that NRC management should communicate early and effectively with the staff to ensure that the change in clearances is not viewed as an adverse action.
