Background
Each National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facility
must
have an “Access Control Plan” that identifies all of the measures and
procedures that have been implemented at that facility to control
foreign
nationals’ access to technology that is regulated under the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR), and that demonstrates that the
facility has
instituted sufficient measures and procedures to assure full compliance
with
the EAR. Every facility that has been assessed for EAR-controlled
technology must
create an Access Control plan that documents the findings of the
controlled
technology assessment. Even if there is
no controlled technology at the facility, one must document that no
controlled
technology was found at the facility. If
there is EAR-controlled technology at the facility, the Access Control
plant
must include the measures implemented to safeguard the technology
An Access Control Plan is not a one-size-fits-all document. Each facility must look at its particular
circumstances and take appropriate steps to control access to
EAR-controlled
technology based on site-specific factors such as physical layout of
the
facility, locations of EAR-controlled technology within the facility,
proximity
of the facility to other parts of NOAA and other entities, security
measures
already in place or that will be put in place for reasons other than
export
control, duties and home country of foreign nationals working at the
facility,
and the frequency and home country of foreign national visitors at the
facility.
