This draft RIS reminds licensees of the requirement in 10 CFR 73.56(d)(3), Verification of true identity, that prior to granting or reinstating unescorted access or certifying unescorted access authorization to non-immigrant foreign nationals for the purpose of performing work, licensees shall validate that the foreign nationals claimed non-immigration status is correct and that verifying employment eligibility is an important component of the required validation. The NRC request for comment on this draft RIS closes on August 12, 2022, as described in the June 13, 2022, Federal Register Notice (87 FR 35798).
