DHS 157.9701(1)(1)Granting unescorted access authorization.
DHS 157.9701(1)(a) (a) A licensee shall implement the requirements of this subchapter for granting initial or reinstated unescorted access authorization.
DHS 157.9701(1)(b) (b) An individual who has been determined to be trustworthy and reliable shall complete the security training required under s. DHS 157.9708 (3) before being allowed unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material.

DHS 157.9701(2)(a)(a) Only a reviewing official may make trustworthiness and reliability determinations that allow individuals to have unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive materials possessed by a licensee.
DHS 157.9701(2)(b) (b) Each licensee shall name one or more individuals to be a reviewing official. After completing a background investigation on the reviewing official, the licensee shall provide to the department, under oath or affirmation, a written certification that the reviewing official is deemed trustworthy and reliable by the licensee. The fingerprints of the named reviewing official shall be taken by a law enforcement agency, a federal or state agency that provides fingerprinting services to the public, or a commercial fingerprinting service authorized by a state to take fingerprints. Every 10 years, the licensee shall recertify that the reviewing official is deemed trustworthy and reliable under s. DHS 157.9702 (3).
DHS 157.9701(2)(c) (c) The licensee shall permit its reviewing official to have unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive materials or access to safeguards information or safeguards information-modified handling, if the licensee possesses safeguards information or safeguards information-modified handling.

DHS 157.9701(5) (5) Determination basis.
DHS 157.9701(5)(a)(a) The reviewing official shall determine whether to permit, deny, unfavorably terminate, maintain, or administratively withdraw an individual's unescorted access authorization based on an evaluation of all the information collected to meet the requirements of this subchapter.
DHS 157.9701(5)(b) (b) The reviewing official may not permit any individual to have unescorted access until the reviewing official has evaluated all the information collected to meet the requirements of this section and has determined that the individual is trustworthy and reliable. The reviewing official may deny unescorted access to any individual based on information obtained at any time during the background investigation.
DHS 157.9701(5)(c) (c) The reviewing official may terminate or administratively withdraw an individual's unescorted access authorization based on information obtained after the background investigation has been completed and the individual has been granted unescorted access authorization.

DHS 157.9701(6)(b) (b) The notification required under par. (a) shall include the grounds for denial or termination and the licensee's procedures on how the individual may request a review of the decision to deny or terminate the individual's unescorted access authorization.
DHS 157.9701(7) (7) Right to correct and complete information.
DHS 157.9701(7)(a) (a) Before any final adverse determination is made, a licensee shall provide to each individual who is subject to a background investigation under this subchapter, written notice that the individual may complete, correct, and explain information obtained as a result of the background investigation. A copy of the notice and confirmation of receipt of the notice shall be maintained by the licensee for one year from the date of the notice.
DHS 157.9701(7)(b) (b) Challenge procedures may be initiated by an individual who believes that criminal history records obtained by the licensee are incorrect or incomplete in any respect, and who wishes to change, correct, update, or explain anything in the record.

A licensee may make a final adverse determination based upon the criminal history records only after receipt of the FBI's confirmation or correction of the record.
DHS 157.9701 Note Note: These procedures include direct application to the law enforcement agency that contributed the questioned information by the individual challenging the record, or a direct challenge to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division regarding the accuracy or completeness of any entry on the individual's criminal history record. In the latter case, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will forward the challenge to the agency that submitted the data, and will request that the agency verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication directly from the agency that contributed the original information, the FBI Identification Division makes any changes necessary in accordance with the information supplied by that agency. An individual may challenge the accuracy or completeness of any entry on the criminal history record by applying directly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, ATTN: SCU, Mod. D–2, 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV 26306 as set forth in 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34.
