Federal Background Check

Applicants may be subject to a Federal background investigation and then must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information or matter. Candidates may be required to obtain and maintain a DOE L or Q Clearance.

The decision to grant or deny an individual an access authorization is based on a review of information that he or she supplies and information that is gathered during the background investigation. All of the information, both positive and negative, is considered against a set of adjudicative guidelines which are promulgated by the White House as implementing documents for Executive Order 12968. Each guideline covers a broad security concern, the issues which may arise under that concern and the information which may mitigate the security concern. Personnel security specialists receive training in making decisions based on the guidelines and must document what they considered in deciding whether or not to recommend granting an access authorization to an individual. Information concerning the issues that are considered under the adjudicative guidelines can be found in 10 Code of Federal Regulations 710 (10 CFR 710), which outlines DOE's criteria for making access authorization determinations.
