Access Authorization Exceptions Sample Clauses

Access Authorization Exceptions. Although heads of DOE field elements are not authorized to either approve or deny IAEA inspections or complementary access visits at DOE facilities, locations, or sites, some exceptions do apply, and the following requirements must be met. (See Additional Protocol, article 5 for access requirements.) (1) When inspection or complementary access activities would result in compromise of Restricted Data or Formerly Restricted Data, the head of the field element is authorized to temporarily suspend the inspection and immediately notify the NNSA Office of International Regimes and Agreements, (a) the cognizant Program Secretarial Officer (PSO) or (b) the NNSA Deputy or Associate Administrator, and the Associate Administrator for Defense Nuclear Security. (2) The Office of International Regimes and Agreements will notify the IAEA when an inspection or complementary access must be terminated or suspended pending implementation of an acceptable security plan that protects the information from disclosure.
