tem (APDS). This is the only
way to ensure the personnel
system knows that a particular
position requires an SCI in-
doctrinated or SCI eligible
individual. All organizations
that have personnel assigned
with SCI accesses must main-
tain close liaison with their
respective manpower and per-
sonnel offices to ensure that
SCI requirements are properly
reflected on the appropriate
manpower documents.
* g. (U) Commanders and Su-
pervisors. Commanders and su-
pervisors must report to the
SIO/SSO all incidents of a de-
rogatory nature involving any
SCI indoctrinated individual
(regardless of rank) within
their command/organization. In-
cidents that must be reported
include all arrests, convic-
tions, letters of reprimand,
Article 15 actions, DUIs, DWIs,
etc. See USAFINTEL 201-1 para-
graph 3-11.
3-4. (U) HOW TO FILL ESTAB-
LISHED SCI BILLETS. Advance
planning for the nomination and
assignment of individuals to
SCI billets minimizes periods
of underemployment while the
individual is waiting for SCI
access approval. It also -re-
duces unnecessary reassignments
resulting from the nomination
or assignment of ineligible in-
dividuals..-Therefore, SCI ac-
cess requests must be submitted
as far in advance as an assign-
ment permits or as soon as the
requirement for SCI access is
known. It is imperative to
ensure that all manpower posi-
tions with approved SCI billets
are properly "S" coded in the
Automated Personnel Data Sys-
a. (U) Selection. Screen,
select, and nominate only those
individuals who will remain in
the position requiring an SCI
access for at least one year.
Exceptions to this one year
stipulation will be granted
only when it is impossible or
impractical to do otherwise,
and only if approved by the
MAJCOM SIO.
b. (U) Nomination and
Processing. - The 4-personnel
nomination and security pro-
cessing procedures used to ob-
tain eligible individuals to
fill SCI billets are outlined
in DOD 5200.2-R/AFR 205-32,

Attachment 16b. The commander-l-,
at each echelon will ensure
that the nominees interviewed
and screened for assignment to
SCI positions meet the minimum
criteria prescribed in DOD
5200.2-R/AFR 205-32. NOTE:
Attachment 17 may be used in
place of -the screening inter-
view in AFR 205-32. All per-

curity standards contained in
paragraph 3-5 and will be ad-
judicated for access against
the standards contained in para-
graph 3-8.
c. (U) Diverting Nominees.
Except under the most compel-
ling circumstances, commanders
will not divert to non-SCI
positions individuals who have
been accepted or nominated to
SCI billets.
d. (U)-.Emergency SCI Ac-
cess-. When a situation arises
which demands an individual be
granted immediate SCI access,
,submit an emergency access re-
quest using Attachment 16c.
AF/INSBA will not process an
emergency access request with-
out the MAJCOM SIO concurrence
and recommendation for approv-
al. The minimum requirements

access requests will not be
processed ?until the Defense
Investigative Service (DIS) has-
opened the SBI or SBI-PR. Re-
quests for exceptions need to`
be justified in detail. If the
person for whom emergency ac-
cess is being requested does
not have a final TOP SECRET
clearance based on an earlier
investigation, the require-
ments for the SBI to be opened
at DIS will not be waived.
(5) (U) A favorable

A detailed justification must
be provided or the request will
be denied.
e. (U) Access for Stu-
dents at SCI-level Training
Courses. Students who do not
have a completed and favorably
adjudicated SBI/SBI-PR and who
are to be enrolled-in training
requiring SCI access may be
granted access- for the period
of the course provided
(1) (U) An SBI- - has
been initiated.
(2) (U) An SCI nominee

f. (U) SCI Access for
Technical Training Graduates
Reporting to Their First PCS
Assignment. Graduates of tech-
nical training programs need not
be held at technical training
centers until their SBI is com-
pleted but may be released to
PCS assignments. However, if
an SBI has not been completed
prior to graduation from tech-
nical school, the individual
must be debriefed prior to PCS.
When such persons report for
duty, the local SIO may re-
quest access for them using the
format shown in Attachment 16d.
The minimum requirements for
such a request are:
(1) (U) A completed
favorable National Agency Check
(NAC, NACI, or ENTNAC).
(2) (U) An interim or
final TOP SECRET clearance.
(3) (U) An SBI which
has been, opened, at,. DIS for, a
minimum of 30 days.

which discloses no substantial
unfavorable information.
(5) (U) Certification
by the local commander or SIO
that failure to indoctrinate
the person before completion of-
the open SBI would have an ad-
verse impact on mission effec-
tiveness.
(6) (U) Note, AF/INSB
will not approve SBI access re-
quests if the open SBI or any
prior investigation reflects
unfavorable information which
might be disqualifying.
USAFINTEL 201-1 1 March 1985
g. (U) SCI Access for
Contractors. Once an SCI con-
tract is awarded to a company,
the contract monitor will work
closely with the Company Pro-
ject Manager and the Contractor
SSO (CSSO) to determine the
names of the individuals who
will require access to fulfill
the SCI portions of the con-
tract. If the company person-
nel nominated are not currently
SCI indoctrinated or SCI eligi-
ble, an SBI or SBI-PR will be
initiated. Use Attachment 16b
to request SCI eligibility for
contractors once the SBI has
been completed.
h. (U) SCI Access for
Consultants. Consultants per-
forming duties with any agency,
department, or command will be
granted SCI access on a need-
to-know basis. Requests for
access should include the con-
sultant's name, SSAN, the name
and address of the nongovern-
ment organization with- whom
affiliated, the consultant's
position, and the specific
justification .which meets the
need-to-know criteria required
for approval for SCI access.
Before AF/INSB can grant a
consultant SCI access eligi-
bility and provide authority
to indoctrinate, all SCI per-
sonnel security requirements
must be met and the Air -Force
Security Clearance Office
(AFSCO) must grantor recertify
a TOP SECRET clearance; these,
two requirements cannot be
waived. A copy of the consul-
tant agreement (AF Form 2290)
must accompany the request for
SCI access to AF/INSB.

The names of all individuals
who have not completed their
SBI-PR paperwork prior to the
fifth year anniversary of their
current SBI will be provided to
the local SIO by the SSO. The
local SIO will then be respon-
sible for determining whether
the individual should be su-

398/PSQ. The review is accom-
plished to determine if .there
is any unfavorable information
available which may have been
excluded. To accomplish this
review, the following actions
are required:
* (a) (U) If the
immediate supervisor is unaware
of any unfavorable information,
he/she will sign a statement to
that effect in item 18, "Re-
marks" section of the PSQ. The
following statement will be
used: "I am not aware of any
informtion of the type contain-
ed in DOD 5200.2-R/AFR 205-32,

viduals who do not meet inves-
tigative standards.
d. (U) Requesting an SBI.
If-the person has not previous-
ly had SCI access or has an SBI
more than five .years old, an
SBI must be initiated. If the
person nominated for access has
had a-- break in federal service
for one year or more, then a new
investigation is required even
,,if there is an existing SBI
less than five years old.
(1) (U) Air Force Mil-
itary or DAF Civilian Person-
nel. Paperwork for initiating
the SBI or SBI-PR is obtained
from the supporting Security
Police (SP) and returned to them
once completed in accordance
with DOD 5200.2-R/AFR 205-32.
SPs will review all forms for
accuracy and completeness and
either return the forms to the
individual for correction or
forward them-to-the Defense In-
vestigative Service (DIS) for
initiation of the SBI or SBI-PR.
DIS conducts the appropriate in-
vestigation and forwards the
completed investigative paper-
work to AFSCO.
(a) (U) AFSCO
then adjudicates the investiga-
tive data contained in the ?SBI
or SBI-PR for,TOP SECRET eligi-
bil'ity. If AFSCO favorably ad-
judicates a case and grants a
TOP SECRET clearance, AFSCO
will forward the case to AF/INSB
for adjudication for SCI access
eligibility. If AFSCO adjudi-
cates a case and the TOP SECRET
clearance is denied, AFSCO will
notify the organization through
collateral channels; AF/INSB
will not receive such cases for
adjudication.
(b) (U) When an
individual is nominated by
AFMPC to fill an SCI position,
,and is subsequently eliminated
from consideration for SCI ac-
cess by the Unit Commander
(based on a review of personnel
.records and/or the interview
required by DOD 5200.2-R/AFR
205-32, USAF Personnel Securi-
,ty Program), the CBPO or per-
sonnel element will enter As-
signment Limitation Code "B"
into the personnel records ac-
cording to AFM 300-4, ADE-AS-
730 and forwards the file
through AF/INSB to AFSCO. If
the package is forwarded to
AF/INSB to make a determina-
tion, AF/INSB will review the
package and notify the Unit
Commander of the determination.
AF/INSB will maintain a record
of all such files. In the
event the losing CBPO or the
Unit Commander= is - unabl'e` - to
make a determination as to SCI
eligibility, the gaining CBPO
will-be queried concerning the
feasibility of considering the
individual for access accord-
ing to the procedures contained
in AFR 39-11. Personnel elim-
inated from consideration for
SCI eligibility in this manner
are not entitled to reclama
under due process.

instructions received from the
supporting SSO. The CSSO will
forward the completed SBI or
SBI-PR request to DISCO through
the supporting SSO. The sup-
porting SSO will:
(a) (U) Review the
request to ensure it contains
no information which would
preclude granting SCI access,
and then notifies the CM of the
decision.
(b) (U) If the review
is unfavorable, annotate the
first page of the DD Form 49,
Personnel Security Question-
naire (INDUSTRIAL), with the
phrase ,"DOES NOT MEET CRITERIA
OF USAFINTEL 201-1, PARAGRAPH
3-8", and include the specific
subparagraph(s) upon which the
decision was based. Return the
request to the CSSO. The CSSO
may provide this information to
the individual if the individual
requests it-.,
(c) (U) If the re-
view is favorable, annotate
Part II, Job Title, of the DD
Form 49 with the _ name of the
sponsoring MAJCOM and the ap-
propriate CM, then forward the
request to DISCO, P. 0. Box'
2499, Columbus, OH 43216. The.
package must include a cover
letter (using the format shown
in Attachment 15) signed by an
Air Force Officer, NCO, or DAF
civilian employee with SCI se-
curity management responsibil-
ities (SSO, SVA Custodian, etc,
or designee). Under no circum-
stances are CSSOs authorized to
forward SBI or SBI-PR requests
directly to DISCO for Air Force

USAFINTEL 201-1 1 March 1985
3-7. (U) SCI ADJUDICATION:
a. (U) SCI adjudication is
the examination of data col-
lected on an individual rela-
tive to their life-style/be-
havior to ascertain whether
the individual is eligible for
SCI access. The key factors
considered are the individu-
al's maturity and sense of re-
sponsibility, to include his/
her trustworthiness, loyalty,
and discretion. Any unfavor-
able information or informa-
tion which reflects negatively
on these areas, or which might
render the individual suscep-
tible to targeting by a hostile
Intelligence service is eval-
uated in this context.
b. (U) Adjudicators will
evaluate all pertinent infor-
mation available against the
established personnel security
standards and adjudication
guidelines. A minor investiga-
tive ,de?iciency --will not . pre-
clude favorable adjudication
when all other information is
favorable. Any doubt Concern-
ing the individual's eligibil-
ity will always be resolved in
favor of national security and
SCI access eligibility will be
denied.
Co (U) If unfavorable in-
formation is discovered during
the collateral clearance adju-
dication process, and AFSCO re-
quests a Commander's Recommen-
dation regarding TOP SECRET
eligibility, the Commander
should also include a recommen-
dation relative to SCI access.
AF/INSB will get the SBI for
SCI adjudication only after
AFSCO has determined that the

W UNCLASSIFIED W
individual is TOP SECRET eligi-
ble.
d. (U) If requested by a
MAJCOM SSO, AF/INSB will evalu-
ate a case in adjudication at
AFSCO when there is sufficient
information available to war-
rant disapproval for SCI ac-
cess. AFSCO will be notified
of the AF/INS decision and the
SSO will be notified when ad-
judication is finalized.
3-8. (U) ADJUDICATION GUIDE-
LINES. The following are basic
categories of information which
are taken into consideration
when making a determination of
eligibility for SCI access.
These are also areas which each
Commander, SIO, SSO, and SCISO
should be attentive to and re-
port to SSO USAF/INSBA when ap-
propriate.
a. (U) Undesirable Charac-
ter Traits. An individual's
lifestyle is important only to
determine whether a pattern of
behavior exists .which might
indicate that SCI access might
pose a risk to national secu-
rity. Where allegations of
activity or behavior have been
reported which reflect unfavor-
ably on a persons. reputation,
it is important to distinguish
fact from opinion and to deter-
minefwhich characteristics are
pertinent and which are unsub-
stantiated or irrelevant. Neg-
ative characteristics are those
which indicate'.that an individ-
ual is not willing, able, or
likely to protect SCI informa-
tion. For example:
(1) (U) Substantive
derogatory comments by associ-
ates, employers, neighbors and
other acquaintances, or liti-
gation instituted against the
individual as a result of the
individual's actions. A re-
commendation for disapproval
would be appropriate for an in-
dividual who cannot be relied
upon to consistently obey laws,
rules and regulations.
(2) (U) Incidents of
untruthfulness where the indi-
vidual has tried to hide per-
tinent or significant facts
by falsifying data, as on the
Personnel Security Question-
naire by either omission or
false entry. Failure to dis-
close derogatory personal in-
formation, such as a court
conviction, court-martial or
crime, would be viewed as in-
tentional and would warrant a
recommendation for disapproval.
b. (U) Financial Irre-
sponsibility. Financial irre-
sponsibility is a . serious con-
cern- from a - security stand-
point because it mightsubject
a person to pressure from a
foreign Intelligence. ;-service
or criminal element.
(1) (U), Whenever. fi-
nancial difficulties are-dis-
closed, the seriousness., and.
the length of time the diffi-
culties have existed need to
be evaluated. A pattern of
financial irresponsibility and
the lack of, a_ conscientious
effort to satisfy creditors
normally constitutes grounds
for denial of SCI access. It
is always important to deter-
mine whether the individual
had been notified of the debts
and whether the debts were
legally valid and ultimately
satisfied. NOTE: In cases in-

W UNCLASSIFIED V
volving Air Force military per-
sonnel, the local CBPO will
provide assistance to the local
commander and SSO in processing
cases of financial irresponsi-
bility according to AFR 35-18.
(2) (U) When there are
indications of unfavorable
credit or possible financial
difficulties, to include infor-
mation developed during an ini-
tial interview, the individual
will be requested to prepare a
Personal Financial Statement
(see Attachment 14) for review
by AF/INSB prior to access
determination. (Occasionally,
SCI access will be granted pre-
dicated upon the individual's
providing updated financial
statements over a period of
time). Refusal to complete a
Personal Financial Statement,
or to provide financial state-
ments when requested, consti-
tutes grounds for denial of el-
igibility for SCI access.
(3) (U) Bankruptcies
and Wage Earner Plans (adjust-
ments of debts of an individual
with regular income) are normal-
ly taken as evidence of finan-
cial problems serious enough
to warrant disapproval of SCI
access; however, each case will
be adjudicated separately'based
on its own merits. The case
might, in fact, be an indica-
tion of the individual's con-
scientiousness and sincere'-ef-
forts to correct a recognized
problem.
(4) (U) Personnel ex-
periencing tax problems or who
are in violation of the Inter-
nal Revenue Service (IRS) codes
will be closely examined to de-
termine if financial irrespon-
sibility or dishonesty are
factors.
(5) (U) Financial ir-
responsibility is sometimes
not of such magnitude by it-
self to warrant disapproval.
However, it might contribute
to a recommendation for de-
nial of SCI access when there
is other evidence of irrespon-
sibility.
c. (U) Arrests, Convic-
tions, and Disciplinary Ac-
tions. This paragraph concerns
arrests by military and civil-
ian authorities regardless of
subsequent actions taken; all
civilan trials and military
courts-martial (whether or-not
there was a verdict of guilty);
and all actions taken under the
provisions of the Uniform Code
of Military Justice. (UCMJ),
eg, Article 15 or letters of
reprimand/counselling based on
UCMJ violations. .
(1) (U) Any record of
a violation of law is of imme-
diate concern in considering an
individual for SCI access. Al-
though a pattern of repeated
minor traffic violations could
be significant, the principal
concern is with..serious crimin-
al violations or court actions
which reflect adversely upon
the individual's reliability,
trustworthiness, or acceptance
of other authority.
(2) (U) When an indi-
vidual has been convicted of-
an offense, the nature and se-
riousness of the offense will
be taken into consideration.
Prime factors include: the
circumstances under which the
incident occurred, how long

ago it occurred, whether it
was an isolated incident or a
repeat violation of the law,
the age of the offender at the
time, social conditions which
might have had a bearing on the
individual's actions, and any
evidence of rehabilitation.
(3) (U) When records
indicate arrests, charges,
trials, or courts-martials'
which led to something other
than a guilty verdict, the in-
cidents in question will be
carefully evaluated. Legal in-
sufficiency to obtain a con-
viction is not in itself
grounds to discount unfavorable
allegations. Alleged offenses
which, were not prosecuted
(nolle prosequi) or arrests for
which the victims did not pre-
fer charges are still of con-
cern. The specific reasons for
dismissal or for charges not
having been filed must be as-
certained. When a "not guilty"
verdict. is handed down, -all
circumstances of the case which
reflect unfavorably on the per-
son concerned will be examined
before determining SCI access
eligibility.
(4) (U) Any conviction
fora felony will normally be
cause for disapproval. However,
if the offense was committed
many years,prior, the individu-
al has shown evidence of reha-
bilitation, and the investiga-
tion shows no other derogatory
information, approval may be
considered.
d. (U) Alcohol Abuse:
(1) (U) Careful consi-
deration must be given to any
information discovered concern-
ing an individual's possible
misuse of alcohol. The extent
to which the use of alcohol
diminishes the individual's
ability to perform assigned
duties or exercise the care,
judgment, and discretion ne-
cessary to safeguard SCI infor-
mation must be determined. A
determination also must be made
as to whether a pattern of im-
propriety exists, although one
alcohol related incident might
be of such magnitude to war-
rant a recommendation for dis-
approval.
(2) (U) In determin-
ing the security impact of a
pattern of alcohol use, consid-
eration is given to the circum-
stances, amount and rate of
consumption; the time and place
of consumption; and the physi-
ological and behavioral affect
such drinking has on the indi-
vidual. For example:
(a) (U) Does the
individual's drinking result
in absences from work 'or care-
less work habits?
(b) (U) Does- the
individual become talkative,
abusive or exhibit other 'un-
desirable characteristics?
(c) (U) Does the
individual drink until intoxi-
cated?
(d) (U) Has the
individual been arrested for
any acts resulting from the
influence of alcohol?
(3) (U) Persons en-
rolled in alcohol rehabilita-
tion programs will usually not
be granted or allowed contin-

ued SCI access except in cases
of self-referral (see paragraph
3-11f). Individuals who have
completed such programs might
be considered for access if
medical/social actions evalua-
tions indicate a good prognosis.
However, refusal to comply with
a request to undergo medical or
social actions evaluations con-
stitute grounds for denial or
withdrawal of SCI access. NOTE:
Liver function testing and psy-
chological testing should be
considered in medical/social
action evaluations.
e. (U) Security Violations
and Unauthorized Release or
Disclosure of Classified Mate-
rial. Persons with records of
one or more security violations
will be carefully evaluated to
determine whether the viola-
tion(s) indicates an unwilling-
ness or inability to follow
security directives or guide-
lines. SCI access will not be
granted.-to persons who have
shown disregard for, or care-
lessness toward, established
security practices. SCI access
will not be granted to persons
who -have- knowingly disclosed
classified information, without
proper authority, to unautho-
rized recipients.
* - f. (U) Sexual Considera-
tions. A person's sexual ac-
tivities, (promiscuity, prosti-
tution, extra marital rela-
tions etc) are factors in SCI
eligibility determinations when
such activity indicates a lack
of judgment and discretion, or
there is a reasonable basis for
belief that the activity might
increase the individual's sus-
ceptibility to blackmail or
coercion. A recommendation for
disapproval is appropriate in
such cases. The following are
general considerations used to
determine an individual's sta-
bility, character, and discre-
tion; and what types of person-
al conduct might subject a per-
son to undue influence or
duress:
* (1) (U) Deviant Sexual
Behavior. Sexual deviant be-
havior would include, but is
not limited to, bestiality,
fetishism, necrophilia, nym-
phomania, or satyriasis, sa-
dism, pedophilia, exhibition-
ism, masochism, transvestism,
voyeurism, and incestuous re-
lationships, and are normally
disqualifying.
(2) (U) Homosexual
Conduct. When an individual has
been involved in homosexual
acts, it is necessary to con-
sider 'the persons age, whether
or not the individual was a
willing participant; the?fre-
quency of ?the-acts.?- the -publ-ic-
nature and recency of the bony- -
duct and any" 'other ' ,circuz -
stances which mmight ? ?"explain
the nature or character of the
conduct. y . .?,rj-
(3) (U) Cohabitation
and Extramarital Relations.
Cohabitation in itself does not
preclude SCI access approval.
The -identity of a cohabitant
must be ascertained and a de-
termination made if the associ-'
ation constitutes an unaccept-'
able security risk. Extramari-
tal sexual relations are of
concern when the potential for
undue influence or duress ex-
ists. Cohabitation with a for-
eign national represents the
same security concerns as mar-
riage to a foreign national.

g. (U) Mental Disorders
and Traits. Disorders and
traits of perception, thought,
emotion, motivation, or behav-
ior are of serious concern in
determining whether an individ-
ual is able or willing to pro-
tect SCI. Persons who suffer
from severe disorders will not
be granted SCI access. Persons
with a history of mental dis-
orders might be granted access
if a current psychiatric or
psychological evaluation is fa-
vorable. Persons with certain
traits (eg, narcissism, immatu-
rity, etc) even those within
normal limits, might be denied
SCI access depending on the re-
sults of a psychiatric or psy-
chological evaluation and other
relevant information. Evalua-
tions are be accepted only. if
performed by a Board eligible/
Board certified psychiatrist
(MD) or a licensed license eli-
gible clinical psychologist
(PhD).
(1) (U) Statements by
personal references alleging to
an individual's mental disorder
or traits will be evaluated with
caution. One individual might
base an opinion on casual ob-
servation or personal dislike;
another might base .a view on an
isolated incident ?atypical of
the individual. If there seem
to-be -contradictions - in opin-
ions, or -if-any questions re-
garding the . individual's psy-,--
chological.. status remain,., a
current psychiatric or psycho,.
logical evaluation must be ob-
tained.
(2) (U) Refusal, by
the individual concerned, to
comply with a request to under-
qo a psychiatric or nsvchn1nn-
ical evaluation constitutes
grounds for denial of SCI ac-
cess. During any psychiatric
or psychological evaluation,
an individual will not be re-
quired to answer questions
which might lead to self-
incrimination. However, as it
is necessary to have as com-
plete a picture as possible
for an accurate adjudication,
failure to cooperate will have
a bearing on the final deter-
mination.
(3) (U) Individuals
receiving mental health treat-
ment or counselling will not
be automatically suspended
from SCI access, nor will the
individual automatically be
denied access to SCI. A deci-
sion concerning SCI access
will be made by AF/INSB upon
receipt of a psychiatric or
psychological evaluation and
other relevant information..
(See paragraph. 3-l lf) . .
h. (U) Illegal Possession
or Use of Controlled Sub-
stances (Drugs. -to Include .Mar-.,.;
ijuana). Any illegal involve-
ment with a controlled sub-
stance is a matter of potenti-
al security concern because-
it.-suggests disregard for the law,;
irresponsibility,. ;_ and poor,.- - _
judgment. It also provides a;
possible vehicle for exploita-
tion of the individual for
purposes of espionage. There- 1,
fore, persons-.with a _ history
of drug. involvement . will be-, -?
considered for SCI access only.-
if the involvement was minimal
and no future .involvement is,
expected. The definition of
terms as stated in AFR 30-2
apply.

(1) (U) Persons fall-
ing into any of the following
categories of drug involvement
will normally be considered
ineligible for SCI access:
(a) (U) Anyone who
admits to, or is convicted of
being a drug user, drug addict,
drug supplier, drug smuggler,
or drug trafficker.
(b) (U) Anyone
with a history of drug involve-

any controlled substance while
a member of the Armed Forces,
while employed as a government
civilian employee in an SCI
position, or as a contractor on
contract with. the US Government
in an SCI positon.

sified _as marijuana experiment-
ers may be approved for SCI ac-
cess as long as the experimen-
tation took place prior to ac-

position with the US Government
requiring SCI, access eligibil-
ity.
* (3) (U) When past use
of Lysergic Acid Disthyomide
(LSD) or Phencyclidine (PCP)
use has been established or ap-
pears probable, access will not
be granted without a favorable
evaluation by a medical author-
ity. The medical evaluation
must conclude that the use (or
probable use) of the drug has
resulted in no significant per-
manent damage and that a re-
lapse is not considered likely.
(4) (U) When a judg-
ment is made that an individu-
al is a habitual user of any
controlled substance (multiple
use beyond the point of mere
experimentation), a recommen-
dation for disapproval is
appropriate. Moreover, even
experimental use of hard drugs
or hallucinogens such as LSD
could warrant a recommendation
for disapproval.
i. (U) Questionable Loy-
alty to the United States.
Loyalty considerations fall
into two categories--those in
which the loyalty of the in-
dividual is doubtful and those
in which that of the individu-
al's family or associates is
questionable. An individual
must be of unquestioned loyalty
to the United States to be el-
igible for SCI.
(1) (U) Whenever the
disloyalty of th'e individual is
substantiated, access'will be~
denied or revoked. When in-
vestigation fails to prove or
disprove serious allegations
of disloyalty, access will
normally be denied in the iri-
terest of national security.
(2) (U) When disloy-
alty of-any of an individual's
family members or associates
is substantiated or shown to be
likely, the access determina-
tion will be based on the na-
ture of the relationship and
the degree of probable influ-
ence over the recommended indi-
vidual. If ties are remote and
it appears probable that the
person of questionable loyalty

has no undue influence, SCI ac-
cess may be granted. If, how-
ever, the relationship is a
close one, or if there are in-
dications of probably influ-
ence, access will be denied.
j. (U) Non-US Citizenship
of Individual or Family Mem-
bers:
(1) (U) Persons who
are not citizens by birth, nat-
uralization, or derivation will
not be eligible for SCI access.
However, the DCI does authorize
certain properly certified for-
eign nationals (normally Com-
monwealth countries) access to
SCI.
(2) (U) When any mem-
ber of an individual's immedi-
ate family is not a US citizen,
SCI access determination will
be based on a careful examina-
tion of all pertinent factors
concerning the individual and
the family member. -_ All -non-US,
citizen spouses must undergo a
local security check', a spouse
NAC and/or an.AFOSI investiga-
tion. An exception to the SCI
personnel security standards
may be authorized if the MAJCOM
SIO requesting SCI access ' for
the person certifies that a
compelling need exists. A com-.
pelling need exists when deny-
ing access would 'have an ad-
verse impact, and where the
benefit to be gained outweighs
the risk. NOTE: Statements of
compelling need are not re-
quired each time a person makes
a PCS move providing the per-
son remains within the MAJCOM
that furnished the original
statement of compelling need.
If the individual is to PCS to
a new/different MAJCOM, then
the gaining MAJCOM will have
to provide a new statement of
compelling need.
(a) (U) If imme-
diate family members are not
citizens of a country listed
in Attachment 42, SCI access
normally will be granted.
(b) (U) If imme-
diate family members are citi-
zens of a country listed in
Attachment 42, reside in that
country, and have any contact
with the individual being con-
sidered for SCI access, then
SCI access will not be granted.
(c) (U) If imme-
diate family members are citi-
zens of a country listed in
Attachment 42, reside in the
US or friendly countries, and
have infrequent contact with
the individual being consid-
ered for SCI access, eligibil-
ity may be granted if the cir-
cumstances of the case show
that the risk to security is
minimal.
(d) (U) When an
SCI indoctrinated person mar-
ries a foreign national, the
local SSO or appropriate SCI
security official should barn
the person's access until a11'-

have been met.

(f) (U) An imme-
diate family member is no long-
er required to submit a state-
ment of intent to become a US
citizen. However, the spouse
is encouraged to become a US
citizen. The local SSO should
recommend that the individual's
spouse consult his/her embassy
as to the laws regarding a
change in citizenship status.
In some cases, the ability to
own property and/or inherit
might be affected by a renun-
ciation of citizenship.
(g) (U) When an
individual currently indoctri-
nated or being processed for
SCI access, adopts a child/
children (under the age of 18)
not a US citizen, a waiver of
personnel security standards is
not required. A child must be
18 years old to apply for US
citizenship.
k. (U) Foreign Associa-
tions. Association with citi-
zens, organizations, or govern-
ments of countries unfriendly
to the United States are of
considerable concern. Such con-
tacts, unless there is substan-
tial evidence to the contrary,
will be assumed to represent
an unacceptable security risk.
Whenever, there is' reasonable
doubt,: regarding the implica-
tions of an individual's for-
eign associations, access will
be denied. Contact with citi-
zens, organizations, or govern-
ments of countries friendly to
the United States are of no
concern unless there is reason
to believe that such contacts
USAFINTEL 201-1 1 March 1985
might be used to the advantage
of hostile Intelligence ac-
tivities, or might otherwise
not be in the best interest of
the United States. (Also see
AFR 205-57, Reporting and In-
vestigating Espionage, Sabot-
age, Terrorism, and Subver-
sion).
1. (U) Close Associations.
Sharing living quarters with a
person or persons usually in-
dicates that a personal rela-
tionship exists, regardless of
whether or not the relation-
ship is intimate. It is,
therefore, necessary to evalu-
ate any such situation to de-
termine whether or not a po-
tential exists: for possible
adverse influence or suscepti-
bility to coercion.

person is eligible for access'
to SCI as required. The SIO
must determine if indoctrina-
tion is still required and what
billet the individual will

will indicate the nature of the
exception and include any spe-
cial requirements or restric-
tions.
(3) (U) Eligibility Au-
thorized With Warning Required.
Occasionally, investigations
will reveal derogatory informa-
tion which, although not seri-
ous enough to warrant denial of
SCI access eligibility, does
require that the person be
warned regarding the necessity
of avoiding future questionable
acts or involvements. In the
eligibility authorization mes-
sage, AF/INSB will indicate
what warning is required, and
to what degree. (See samples
of warnings in Attachment 18).
Warnings may be accomplished
verbally or by letter and may
be conducted by the commander,
SSO, or SIO, depending on the
circumstances and rank of the
individual concerned. No mat-
ter who gives the warning, the
SIO, SSO, and Commander must
all be advised of the informa-
tion. The warning should cover
the necessity to avoid certain
situations which may reflect
adversely on one's character or
to advise an individual that a
prior incident or set of circum-
stances has now been made a
part of his or her security
dossier and that similar inci-
dents in the future will be
evaluated accordingly. A for-
mal written record of the warn-
ing will be prepared and signed
by the individual and the per-
son administering the warning.
One copy of each warning will
be forwarded to AF/INSBA for
inclusion in the person's SCI
security dossier (see Attach-
ment 19), and one copy main-
tained locally by the SSO. Re-
fusal, by the individual con-
cerned, to sign the record of
warning will be grounds to
deny indoctrination or for im-
mediate debriefing.

3-10._ _(U) DUE PROCESS PROCE-
DURES FOR SCI ACCESS DENIALS:
a. (U) Justification. AF/
INS will- notify an individual
through the - individual' s imme-
diate commander when SCI access
has been denied or rescinded.
The notice will include the
reasons for denial or rescis-
sion, explain how the person
may request releasable por-
tions of applicable investiga-
tive reports, and advise the
individual that the decision may
be appealed. (See Attachment 20
for sample letters). NOTE:
MAJCOM SSOs are notified via
message.
b. (U) Receipt. The in-
dividual determined ineligible
for SCI access is required to
acknowledge receipt of the de-
nial notification within five
working days following notifi-
cation. The individual has 45
days from the date of the ac-
knowledgement to file an ap-
peal. If additional time is
needed to prepare the appeal,
an extension may be requested
from AF/INSBC. Appeals will be
coordinated with AFSCO as re-
quired.
c. (U) Appeal Adjudica-
tion. The Assistant for Secu-
rity and Communications Manage-
ment (AF/INS), will adjudicate
the first appeal. A determina-
tion will be made whether the
decision to deny SCI access
should be reversed. If the de-
cision is not reversed, the
individual will be notified by
letter that he/she has the
right to appeal the continued
denial of SCI access to the
Assistant Chief of Staff, In-
telligence (ACS/Intelligence),
HQ USAF, within 30 days follow-
ing receipt of the notification
of the appeal denial. The de-
cision of the ACS/Intelligence,
HQ USAF, constitutes the final
administrative review under
Due Process.
d. (U) Decision Reversal
Actions. If the decision is
made by either AF/INS or the
ACS/Intelligence, HQ USAF, to
reverse the denial of SCI ac-
cess, the individual, his/her
Commander, and the MAJCOM SSO
will be notified. MAJCOM SSO
may use this notification as
indoctrination authority if
the individual is to occupy an
SCI position (see Attachment
21).
3-11. ?(U) REPORTING BEHAVIOR-
AL DATA CHANGES. AND PERSONAL
STATUS CHANGES:
a. (U) The Behavioral Da-
ta Reporting (BDR) system pro-
vides the MAJCOM SSO/SIO and
HQ USAF with timely information
on personal status changes and
incidents of personal behavior
which might affect continued,
SCI eligibility. This system
requires the reporting of
changes and incidents involv-
ing all SCI indoctrinated per-
sons (military, DAF civilians,
contractors, and consultants)
as well as the person's imme-
diate family (when SCI access
eligibility is, or might be
affected). BDR procedures will
be a review item during Air
Force inspections.

b. (U) Formal procedures
must be established by each SSO
to ensure that all incidents
having a bearing on SCI access
eligibility are promptly re-
ported, using the format shown
in Attachment 16e, to SSO USAF/
INSBA and the MAJCOM SSO. Lo-
cally, these procedures will
include, when appropriate, co-
ordination with the host-base
security police, medical ser-
vices, staff judge advocate,
CBPOs, unit commanders, first
sergeants, work supervisors,
as well as local civil agen-
cies and officials. For con-
sistency and continuity, the
local SSO or other SCI cogni-
zant authority must complete
Memorandums of Agreement (MOA)
with local support organiza-
tion (see Chapter 1). The MOA
with the base security police
will ensure that all incidents
involving SCI indoctrinated in-
dividuals are reported to the
SIO/SSO as well as the individ-
ual's Commander.. o - MOAs should
include examples of behavior or
incidents which "need to be re-'
ported. When ?an MOA is made'
with the CBPO, -forward a copy
to AFMPC/DPMYCO for their ire='
view according to AFR 5-13,
Publications or Communications.
Affecting Personnel Functions
Performed at MAJCOM Level or
Below.
c. (U) Reportin Marri-
ages of SCI Indoctrinated Per"
sons. An SCI indoctrinated in-
dividual is required to notify
the SSO by letter, of the 'in-
tent to marry and it is then
the SSO's responsibility to ad-
vise the individual of possible
SCI security consequences. For
example, SCI access might be
suspended if the person marries
a foreign national either be-
fore completion of a National
Agency Check or OSI premarital
investigation, or if the re-
sults of the investigation is
unfavorable. If AFOSI premar-
ital investigation reveals
unfavorable information, the
subject will be barred from
SCI access until a final deter-
mination is made by AF/INSB.
If the spouse's NAC reveals
unfavorable information, AF/
INSB will adjudicate and noti-
fy MAJCOM SSO as appropriate.
If marriage is consummated
prior to completion of either
AFOSI premarital investigation
or spouse NAC, comply with
provisions of paragraph 3-8j.
When an SCI indoctrinated per-
son marries, the SSO must no-
tify the MAJCOM SSO and SSO
USAF/INSBA so that files can
be updated to include name
changes if required.
d. (U) Reporting Associa-
tion With Non-US Citizens. All
associations with citizens of
Communist-,o,r Communist-domi
nated countries, and whether
such persons (or their' fami-
lies) have political or ideol-
ogical beliefs-opposed to the'
interests of the United States,
must be reported 'to-the MAJCOM
SSO,a' as appropiate, and to
SSO USAF/INSBA. '
? e. , (U) Reporting Missing
Personnel. Whenever an SCI in-
doctrinated person is killed,'
captured, missing in action, or
declared Absent 'Without Leave
or a deserter (see AFR 35-73),
a report must be sent to the
MAJCOM SSO, as appropriate, and
to SSO USAF/INSBA/INSCO.

creation of a Special Security
File (SSF). The SSF is estab-
lished by the Chief of Secu-
rity Police based on recommen-
dation of the commander, in ac-
cordance with DOD 5200.2-R/AFR
205-32, Chapter VIII. Once an
SSF is established, the indi-
vidual must be denied access to
all classified information un-
til his/her collateral clear-
ances is reinstated by AFSCO.
a. (U)--Barring of.SCI Ac-
--ces-s (-no SSF Created . In many
cases, initial reports or alle-
gations of potential disquali-
fying information do not con-
tain enough factual information
to support immediate SCI access
suspension and creation of an
SSF. When this type informa-
tion is received, the local
SSO or SCI security officer, in
coordination with the commander
and Chief of Security Police
may decide to bar the individu-
al 'from SCI-.'access providing
the incident does not call into
question security, reliability,
or trustworthiness as described
in AFR 205-32, paragraph 8-400.
Barring is primarily designed
to allow sufficient time to
collect all pertinent - informa-
tion so' that a decision can be
made as to whether to suspend
the individual's SCI access and
create an SSF,, or return the
individual to full duties within
the SCI arena-. During this time,
the individual is barred from
access to all SCI facilities
and information/material, and
may not be transferred in status
or perform a TDY which requires
SCI access. As a general rule,
barring may not exceed 15-work
days. Exceptions to the 15-day
rule may be granted when the
individual is barred as a result
of an incident or circumstance
not included in AFR 205-32,
paragraph 2-200.
(1) (U) Initial Re-
porting. Report all SCI access
"barring" within 24 hours to
both MAJCOM SSO and SSO USAF/
INSB. Use the format shown in
Attachment 16f for this pur-
pose.
(2) (U) Action by HQ
USAF/INSB. Upon receipt of a
"barring" notification, HQ
USAF/INSB will review the in-
dividual's security dossier to
determine if a prior incident
of a similar nature has been
reported or if there is an
indication of a pattern of
questionable or unfavorable
incidents. HQ USAF/INSB will
then advise the MAJCOM SSO and
the local SSO/organization,
within 10-working days, if
unfavorable information exists
and will direct formal access'
suspension if the prior history
or behavior pattern warrants
such action.
(3) (U) Progress Re-
porting. Interim reports
should be sent to both the
MAJCOM SSO and SSO USAF/INSB as
new information is developed.
If at anytime during the bar-
ring period it becomes neces-
sary to suspend the individu-
als SCI access and create an
SSF, close out reporting under
this subparagraph and follow
the guidance for SCI access
suspension (SSF created),
paragraph 3-12b. The ultimate
decision whether to formally
suspend SCI access rests with
the cognizant SIO unless sus-
pension is directed by the
MAJCOM SIO or HQ USAF/INSB.

* (4) (U) Final Report-
ing. Providing higher head-
quarters (MAJCOM SIO or HQ USAF/
INSB) has not directed suspen-
sion, and provided the command-
er and SIO, after evaluating
all available and pertinent in-
formation, believe the situa-
tion has been resolved, then
the commander in coordination
with the SSO and SIO may re-
turn the individual to SCI ac-
cess/duties. If, however, the
situation has not been favor-
ably resolved, follow formal
suspension procedures (para-
graph 3-12b).
* (a) (U) Following
the withdrawal of the barring
action and return of the indi-
vidual to SCI access/duties,
the local SSO will notify both
MAJCOM SSO and SSO USAF/INSB of
the commander's and SIO's ac-
tion. The final report must
include as a minimum,' a summary
of the facts -of-'the- case,- -the
results of any tests (urinaly-

(d) (U) The lo-
cal SSO will keep copies of
all correspondence on the case
in the individual's personnel
security folder until he/she
departs PCS.
* b. (U) Suspension of SCI
Access (SSF created). Unlike
barring, suspension removal of
an individual's SCI access ne-
cessitates the creation of an
SSF which precludes the in-
dividual from working with
either collateral or SCI in-
formation. Also, neither the
