systems or data; to maintain the NRC personnel security program; and to provide licensees criminal history

including to an appropriate Federal, State, local or Foreign agency in the event the information indicates a violation or

requested information may result in the denial of entrance and/or access to the agency or facility and the information
to which access is requested. Failure to provide the social security number may delay processing. The use of the
social security number is necessary to verify clearance information because of the large number of individuals who
have identical names and birth dates, and whose identities can only be distinguished by the social security number.
