Physical Security Systems provide intrusion detection and assessment capabilities, access
controls, and performance testing and maintenance of security systems according to the
approved site performance testing plan.
In FY 2012, the request supports a multi-year modernization reinvestment strategy, guided
by the Congressionally mandated Physical Security Technology Management Plan
(PSTMP). This strategy will fund life-cycle replacement initiatives as well as installation
of state-of-the-art access control, alarm detection and assessment, and other technologies
needed to support the NNSA national security mission.
Information Security 25,300 25,943 30,117
The Information Protection element of the budget includes program management and
administration, and maintenance costs associated with: protection and control, planning,
training, administrative requirements for maintaining security containers and combination,
marking, control systems, operations security, special access programs, technical
surveillance countermeasures (TSCM), and classification and declassification.
In FY 2012, the request supports continued reviews and controls at Headquarters and field
sites of classified and sensitive information, to ensure proper document marking, storage
and protection of information.
Personnel Security 30,600 30,913 37,285
Personnel Security encompasses the administrative support to the site clearance process,
including processes for security clearance determinations at each site to ensure that
individuals are eligible for access to classified information or matter and/or access to or
control over special nuclear material or nuclear weapons.
In FY 2012, the request continues this effort, and supports the Human Reliability Program,
Control of Classified Visits, Security Awareness Programs, and processing of unclassified
visits and assignments by foreign nationals. These funds are not used to support the cost of
security clearance investigations by the FBI or OPM. Costs for these activities are borne by
the Office of Health, Safety and Security for HQ employees or by the requesting entity for
M&O clearances.
