NNSA Policy Letter: BOP-65.001
Date: September 7, 2007
TITLE: Issuance and Usage of Portable Computing and Communications Devices (PCCD)
I. OBJECTIVES
This policy governs the issuance and usage of Portable Computing and Communication Devices
(PCCDs ). A PCCD is any portable electronic device that stores NNSA data and has the capacity
to: a) be used off site; b) access NNSA data while off site; or c) connect to NNSA networks while
off site. Such devices include, but are not limited to laptop computers and PDAs. This definition
does not include external storage devices or desktop computers.
The objectives of this policy are to:
• Set forth the expectations ofthe NNSA regarding the protection ofNNSA data present on,
processed by, or accessed through any computing or communications device by an NNSA
affiliated user while at any location.
• Reduce the risk associated with loss of Federal property and sensitive information.
• Reduce the overall costs associated with acquiring PCCDs and associated communication
services.
• Ensure that PCCDs are used consistent with the signed user agreement.
• Provide a consistent, understandable, repeatable, and enforceable basis for providing PCCD
services for NNSA Federal personnel.
II. APPLICABILITY
A. General. This policy applies to:
1. All NNSA Federal employees that have been issued PCCD by either the Federal
government or by a contractor to the Federal government, and
2. PCCDs issued by an NNSA element to contractor employees.
3. Any personal PCCD used by NNSA Federal employees to conduct the business of
theNNSA.
Where requirements and responsibilities apply to particular organizations within the
complex, the applicability is explicitly stated. Policy will be published in the future to
mandate NNSA contractor requirements regarding the issuance and usage of PCCDs.
This policy pertains to all types and categories of unclassified processing, including
sensitive unclassified information.
B. Exclusions. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive
Order 12344 and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy and DOE organization
of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors
will implement and oversee all requirements and practices pertaining to this Policy for
activities under the Deputy Administrator's cognizance.

password after no more than 10 minutes of inactivity. User may set this timeout to
a lower value.
6. Remote access to any NNSA or DOE services requires two-factor authentication
where one of the factors is provided separate from the computer gaining access
(e.g., RSA token or your fingerprint, in a biometric solution); PDAs are exempt
from this requirement.

4) that collects, stores, transmits, or processes unclassified or classified NNSA information or is located
in any security area (Property Protection Area (PP A), Limited Area (LA), Exclusion Area (EA), or
Protected Area (PA)) where NNSA information systems are used.
2. REQUIREMENTS.
a. Visitors to any NNSA Property Protection, Limited, Exclusion, or Protected Area must be advised,
prior to entry, of the requirements of this policy.
b. Personally owned portable computing devices:
Section 7
(1) Are prohibited from use within any NNSA Property Protection, Limited, Exclusion, or
Protected Area;
(2) May be used within an NNSA Property Protection Area only in accordance with the
procedures defined in the NNSA element's Cyber Security Program Plan (CSPP);

c. US government owned portable computing devices with radio frequency (RF) or Infra-red (IR)
capability (e.g. Wireless Information System (W-IS) may be used in NNSA Property Protection,
Limited, Exclusion, and Protected Areas where sensitive unclassified or classified information is
processed, stored, transferred, or accessed on information systems, or where sensitive unclassified or
classified information is discussed or displayed via electronic methods after completion of a risk
assessment of the specific intended use and only if the portable computing device:
(1) Authenticates all users in accordance with the process described in an approved System
Security Plan;
(2) Employs up-to-date malicious code detection software;
(3) Applies National Security Agency (NSA)-approved type 1 encryption on all communications

policies and the NNSA element's CSPP.
e. The administrative and physical controls, including TEMPEST, used to reduce the risks from the use
of any portable computing devices must be documented in the element's CSPP.
f. Site personnel must be trained on the rules of use for portable computing devices that are allowed on
NNSA sites. This training must be documented.
g. Supervisory personnel for an individual (Federal or contractor) must be notified of any violation of
NNSA policies or element portable computing device procedures. The responsible supervisory
personnel must take disciplinary action in accordance with the NNSA element's personnel
performance evaluation system.
h. Portable computing devices used at a location, outside the United States, other than the assigned
user's primary work location- ("home" site of the user) must be sealed with NNSA-approved
tamper-indicating devices prior to removal of the portable computing device from the "home" site.
The tamper-indicating devices must be placed to allow normal use (i.e., removal and insertion of
components such as removable hard drives and batteries). The hardware and software technical
review process for all portable computing devices must be documented in the element's CSPP. The
cognizant Designated Approving Authority (DAA) may approve alternative protection measures
when the use of tamper-indicating devices are ineffective or because of operational requirements.
Section 8

Protected Area may be required to meet additional requirements or entry of the portable computing
device will be denied.
k. Portable computing devices or components of portable computing devices, such as removable disk or
disk drives, containing classified information must be protected and transported in accordance with
Classified Matter Protection and Control requirements.
1. Portable computing devices or components of portable computing devices, such as removable disk
drives, containing information in the Unclassified Protected or Unclassified Mandatory Protection
information groups, as defined in Attachment 3, NAP-14.1, NNSA Cyber Security Program, must be

Sue is on a critical business trip at the request of the NNSA Administrator. She just
received a new laptop and the locking device does not work. Help desk noted it on
the form but did not have another laptop for her. She goes to dinner, takes the
laptop with her, and locks it in the car while at dinner. Car was broken into and
laptop was stolen.

# 8. Jack is taking a night course at the suggestion of his boss. He takes his laptop from
work to take notes on since he can type faster and neater than he can write. The
class breaks into groups and Jack's group is in another room. He leaves the laptop
in the classroom and goes with his group. When be comes back at the end of class,
the laptop is missing. He calls security but there is no justification to search
personal property to see if someone has the laptop and some students have already
left. -=-_-
¢ Liable - the laptop was not used for business purpose, the class was at the
suggestion of his boss, not a requirement; the laptop was not issued
specifically to take to the class (a request for this purpose would not have
been approved); he did not secure the laptop while not in his possession.

# 10. Linda is on a business trip that requires a laptop for presentation and auditing of
documents at an NNSA laboratory. 11le meeting is over for the day and she does
not want to take it in the hot car to dinner so she assumes since she is on lab
property and everyone there is cleared, she can leave it in the room. The host
assures her the room will be locked and the laptop will be safe (not a VTR). The
next morning the laptop is gone.
¢ Uahle - Linda was responsible for the laptop and assumed it would be safe.
#11. Same situation as #10. But at the end of the day the host takes the laptop to a

starts to work on the information but is tired, so she puts the laptop in the seat
pouch in front of her and falls asleep, waking up as the plane bounces to a landing.
The person sitting next to her rushes off the plane forcing her to quickly get her
things and leave. Later when unpacking, she realizes the laptop is missing and
recalls placing it in the seat pocket. She calls the airline immediately and after 3
days they still cannot locate the laptop.
