This also means any foreign corporation, business association, partnership, trust, or society, 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): An LPR is any foreign person legally permitted to reside and work within the United States, to include protected individuals. 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 items and information, 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.

Visit: A visit is any means by which, and any duration for which, access is obtained to non-public NASA assets.

NASA Asset: A system, item, person, or any combination thereof, that has importance or value to the NASA mission. People, data, technology, buildings, property, vehicles, blueprints, contracts, records, and funds are examples of what may constitute a NASA asset.

Access: Access, with regard to NASA assets, is the explicit granting of permission to enter and/or use NASA facilities, interact with NASA personnel, and/ or use NASA information and related information processing services.

Physical Access: Physical access is the ability to touch, or walk into or up to, a NASA Asset.

Physical access is controlled through the use of door locks, card readers, gates, fences, officers, walls. The purpose of these controls is to limit access to those persons who have been granted permission to access controlled assets.
