requests only from active-duty commanding
officers. When OP-09N grants an LAA, com-
manding officers then assume responsibility for
briefing the person. They also have the respon-
sibility of limiting the persons access to that
information authorized and debriefing the person
at the end of the access period.
The CNO (OP-09N) will authorize access only
for the specific purpose and the specific classified
information stated in the request. In the case of
non-U. S. citizens, the information requires release
from the country of origin. The authorization will
be effective for the period of time necessary,
subject to reinvestigation every 5 years. Physical
custody of classified material is normally refused.
Unlike a security clearance or a command-granted
access, an LAA is not entered on the Certificate
of Personnel Security Investigation, Clearance,
and Access.
ACCESS BY RESERVE PERSONNEL
Reserve personnel who have an appropriate
clearance may be granted access to classified
information for active-duty training or inactive-
duty training. The clearing authority or the
authority with the information to be disclosed
determines the need for access. Access granted for
inactive-duty training should be recorded on the
Certificate of Personnel Security Investigation,
Clearance, and Access.
Inactive Reserve personnel are ineligible for
access to classified information unless they are
specifically authorized by OP-09N under limited
clearance procedures.
Reserve personnel are granted access to training
editions of the following documents as required
to maintain proficiency in their specialties:
Codes
Cipher systems
Authentication systems
Call-sign encryption systems
Operation instructions
Maintenance manuals
They are also granted access to COMSEC publica-
tions listed as study materials for advancement
in rate. Additionally, selected units are authorized
access to operational COMSEC materials. Properly
cleared inactive-duty personnel taking part in unit
drills with these selected units are given access to
COMSEC materials as required in the perform-
ance of their duties.
ACCESS BY RETIRED PERSONNEL
Retired personnel, including those on the
temporary disability retired list, are not entitled
to access to classified information because of their
present or former status. Commanding officers
grant retired personnel access to classified
information only when it will promote national
security. Commanding officers may submit a
request for access authorization to OP-09N.
RECORDING ACCESS
Record access granted by a command, prefer-
ably on the Certificate of Personnel Security
Investigation, Clearance, and Access, OPNAV
Form 5520/20. The commanding officer or his
or her designated representative must sign all
access entries.
The commanding officer makes certain the
Comments section of OPNAV Form 5520/20
contains any access restrictions that apply to
personnel.
ADP SECURITY
Automated data processing (ADP) security is
a Navywide responsibility. It includes security
aspects that contribute to the protection of the
total ADP activity, office information system, or
network. It involves the following elements:
Physical security, administrative proce-
dures, operating procedures, and personnel
Communications and emanations
Hardware, software, and data
The level of data processed by an ADP activity
or network and the cost of carrying out an ADP
security program require careful management of
ADP security. All Department of the Navy (DON)
activities must regularly review and continuously
monitor their ADP security program.
The ADP security program will protect ADP
activities, office information systems, and net-
works and the data they process as outlined in
appropriate directives.
Refer to the ADP Security Manual, OP-
NAVINST 5239.1A, for a thorough description
of ADP security policies and procedures.
