SECURITY PROGRAM/FOREIGN NATIONAL EMPLOYEE ACCESS

REQUIREMENTS (LARC 52.204-91) (APRIL 2014)

1) Applicable Definitions:

Foreign National: Any person who is not a U.S. citizen and who is not a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1101(a) (20) or any person who is not a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a) (3). This also means any foreign corporation, business association, partnership, trust, society or any other entity or group that is not incorporated or organized to do business in the U.S., as well as any international organizations, any foreign government, and any agency or subdivision of foreign governments (e.g., diplomatic missions).

Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR): A non-U.S. citizen legally permitted to reside and work within the U.S. and issued a Resident Alien Identification (also known as a Green Card). LPRs are to be afforded all the rights and privileges of a U.S. citizen with the exception of voting, holding public office, access to classified national security information, and employment in the federal sector (except for specific needs or under temporary appointment per 5 CFR, Part 7, Section 7.4). LPRs are not prohibited from accessing export controlled commodities, but must have a work-related "need-to-know" for access. LPRs are considered foreign nationals under immigration laws. LPR, as defined herein, is to replace the term “Permanent Resident Alien” (PRA) in all NASA guidance that has not yet been updated to the use of LPR.

2) Requirements for Center Access for Foreign Nationals who are not LPRs:

Access to the NASA Langley Research Center by foreign nationals who are not LPRs shall be approved in accordance with NPR 1600.4, “Identity and Credential Management” and Interim Policy Regarding Foreign National Access Management, dated April 2, 2014. Center access approval requires a minimum of 5 (five) working days advance notice. Designated country nationals require a minimum of 30 (thirty) working days advance notice because of additional approval requirements. Foreign nationals who are not LPRs must be escorted by a NASA Civil Servant or permanently badged contractor at all times while on Center unless otherwise approved in writing by the International Visitors Coordinator (IVC).

3) Requirements for Center Access for LPRs:

a) Visit requests should be submitted directly to the Badge and Pass Office (BPO) using an LF-103. LPRs may be sponsored for Center access by permanently badged contractor employees or NASA civil servants. Contractor LPRs are generally expected to be sponsored by the employing contractor.

b) LPRs who will be at LaRC in excess of 29 days will be processed through IdMAX.

c) LPRs who will be at LaRC in excess of 179 days will be processed for PIV credentials that will remain valid for 5 years.

d) Contractor management is responsible for ensuring credentials issued to LPRs sponsored by the contractor are returned when the LPR no longer requires access to NASA LaRC under the contract or no longer works for the contractor.

e) No Security Transfer Technology Control Plan (STTCP) is required for LPRs.

f) LPRs on a work related, "need-to-know” basis are allowed access to export controlled commodities. It is incumbent on the Branch Head or Program Manager to appropriately determine who should have access to export controlled information. The Security Services Branch and the Center Export Administrator are available for guidance.

g) LPRs are permitted to carry personal mobile devices on Center. Personal mobile devices are not be used to record, store, or process NASA data and are not to be used to take photographs within NASA facilities.

LPRs and non-LPR Foreign Nationals must request and obtain prior approval from Joint Base Langley-Eustis prior to entering Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Access is subject to conditions imposed by Joint Base Langley-Eustis and may require a U.S.

citizen escort at all times.

Violation of security policies by contractor personnel may result in withdrawal of Center access for the offending personnel and/or contractual actions against the contractor.

Additionally, violations may be criminal in nature and are subject to criminal prosecution.
