* Physical access requirements do not apply to: contractors needing supervised access for less than six (6) months; guest researchers; volunteers; intermittent, temporary or seasonal contractors

* Contractors, as of October 27, 2005, will be subject to HSPD-12 requirements.

Logical Access is the ability to access federal IT systems or databases - applies to everyone regardless of how long access is required and whether within a federal facility or by remote connectivity.
