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.
