# §25.29. Reinstatement of access authorization.

- (a) **An access authorization can be reinstated provided that—**
  - (1) No more than 24 months has lapsed since the date of termination of the clearance;
  - (2) There has been no break in employment with the employer since the date of termination of the clearance;
  - (3) There is no known adverse information;
  - (4) The most recent investigation must not exceed 5 years (Top Secret, Q) or 10 years (Secret, L); and
  - (5) The most recent investigation must meet or exceed the scope of the investigation required for the level of access authorization that is to be reinstated or granted.
- (b) An access authorization can be reinstated at the same, or lower, level by submission of a CSA-designated form to the CSA. The employee may not have access to classified information until receipt of written confirmation of reinstatement and an up-to-date personnel security packet will be furnished with the request for reinstatement of an access authorization. A new Security Acknowledgement will be obtained in all cases. Where personnel security packets are not required, a request for reinstatement must state the level of access authorization to be reinstated and the full name and date of birth of the individual to establish positive identification. A fee, equal to the amount paid for an initial request, will be charged only if a new or updating investigation by the NRC is required.
