New Installation Access Policy will take effect at NNSY on Oct. 1

By CDR Paul Ruchlin, NNSY Installation Security Officer

On Oct. 1, NNSY, including the an-nex properties of St Julien's Creek and Scott Center, will transition to new Navy installation access control policies, in accordance with Presidential Directive and United States Fleet Forces and CNIC policies. As part of this transition, Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS)/RapidGate will be implemented. As of Oct. 1, the NAVSEA col-ored badges (including white) will no longer be authorized for instal-lation access. Beginning that day, all personnel will be required to use their DoD-issued military/govern-ment civilian ID card. Contractors and vendors will be required to use their NCACS ID card, if they are a NCACS participant. For those who have registered for NCACS/RAPIDGate and have not yet received their ID Cards, they can get a 28-Day NCACS Interim Pass from the NNSY Pass & ID of-fice. Beginning Monday, Sept. 19, NCACS registrants can go to the Pass & ID Office to get a 28-Day Pass. If the pass is received prior to Oct. 1, the expiration date will be Oct. 28. If the pass is received

after Oct. 1, the expiration date will be 28 calendar days from the day of receipt. Registrants must bring to the Pass & ID Office, a copy of the letter from EID Passport giving them the company code they use to register at the kiosk, as proof they are a valid registrant, to obtain their initial 28-Day Interim Pass. If EID Passport has not supplied the NCACS ID within 28 Days, Pass & ID will issue a second (or third if necessary) 28-Day Interim Pass. The individual needs to bring their expiring 28-Day pass to Pass & ID. Pass & ID will ensure they are on the registered list and issue a new 28-Day Interim Pass. Contractors/vendors who choose not to participate in NCACS/RAPIDGate will be required to obtain a 1-Day pass from Pass & ID every time they wish to enter the installation. Trusted agents for non-participating Contractors/Vendors will be required to sub-mit the Contractor information to CNRMA for vetting, in order to get a 1-Day Pass. This process is the same as submitting an individual for CVS verification, requiring an individual's full name, date of birth

and SSN. CNRMA requires sub-mission for vetting 5 days prior to the first expected visit date. Once vetted and approved, an individual will remain on the approved list for

Contractors/Vendors can individu-ally register at the NNSY Pass & ID Office registration station (similar to the one shown above) to enroll in the Navy Commercial Access Con-trol System (NCACS)/RapidGate

90 days and may return to the Pass & ID Office for a 1-Day Pass with-out being re-vetted. Contractors/Vendors choosing not to participate in NCACS/RAPIDGate will still be required to proceed through Com-mercial Vehicle Inspection prior to installation entry. NCACS/RAPIDGate ID cards only verify the individual and have nothing to do with vehicle access to the installation. DoD Decals are still required for vehicle installation access. Registering for NCACS/RAPIDGate does not make anyone eligible to receive DoD Decals. The eligibility requirements to ob-tain DoD decals remain the same. NNSY policy of not allowing con-tractors/vendors general vehicle ac-

cess to the shipyard proper remains in effect. Contractor/Vendors utilizing a 28-Day NCACS Interim Pass are not automatically authorized vehicle access to the installation, despite having vehicle information on the pass. (If they were walking on to the installation on 30 Sep-tember, they will be walking on to the installation on 1 October, and beyond.) The Interim Pass must be shown to the gate guards in order to obtain installation access. Contrac-tors WILL NOT BE ISSUED RE-PLACEMENT INTERIM PASSES because they've lost or forgotten to bring them! If a Contractor/Vendor forgets to bring their pass, they will not be granted installation access. They must return with their Interim Pass, or proceed to the Pass & ID Office to obtain a 1-Day Pass. In

this case, they must tell the Pass & ID clerk that they have forgot-ten their NCACS Interim Pass and need a 1-Day Pass, so the clerk checks the proper authorization list. Contractors/Vendors who reg-istered individually at a kiosk at an installation will pick-up their NCACS ID card at the installation at which they registered. Con-tractors/Vendors who registered for NCACS/RAPIDGate through a mass registration at their par-ent company will pick-up their NCACS ID cards at the instal-lation identified as their primary installation. If the individuals are unaware of which installation that is, they should contact their par-ent company NCACS/RAPIDGate representative or they may call the RAPIDGate Help Desk.

Frequently asked questions about the new access policyWhich ID should be used? Federal employees and military personnel will only use their CAC. Contractors with computer access will also use their CAC. Contractors or vendors without CACs will need to obtain the new NCACS (RAPIDGate) ID card (or opt for using a one-day pass).

How does this affect Military retiree, dependent ID's or other DOD ID's?There is no change for these other ID's. They continue to provide access when being used for the purposes of which they were given.

Will anything need to be done differently at the gates?Driver's of all vehicles need to roll down their window and have their CAC or NCACS ID (or pass with photo ID) ready for inspection by the gate sentry.

What about perimeter turnstile access?Personnel walking onto the installation via a turnstile will also be required to have either a CAC or NCACS ID but they will need to continue utilizing the NAVSEA badge to operate the turnstile until a time when the perim-eter turnstiles can be converted to CAC & NCACS. Periodic / random checks of pedestrians at turnstiles to have the CAC or NCACS will be implemented.

What about new employees or contractors who have just registered but have not yet received their CAC or NCACS ID?Contractors will be given a 28 day temp pass when they register with NCACS to be used until that ID arrives. Same type pass will be issued for new govt employees who have not yet received their CAC.

Per SECNAV M-5510.30A Chapter 4, page 4-7 Para 4-9, a Counterintelligence Briefing (CI) is required annu-ally. All personnel who have access to material classified as SECRET or ABOVE must be given the brief by a Naval Criminal Investigative (NCIS) Agent. NNSY’s Counterintelligence (CI) Briefing make-up sessions will be held on Oct. 18 and 19 in the Command Briefing Room (CBR) located in Building 1500, 1st floor. There will be 4 sessions each day at 0900, 1030, 1300 and 1430 each session is expected to last approximately 45 minutes. If you went in May of this year, you DO NOT have to attend again. These will be the last CI Briefings held at NNSY for this year. Come at least 15 minutes early so we can get everyone signed in before the meeting begins and bring your SHIPYARD BADGE, NOT YOUR CAC BADGE. Parking is extremely limited, therefore make appropriate arrangements. Parking will be available in Parking Lot I across in front of bldg 1500. Follow the signs that say “CI Briefing Parking Lot I.” THIS IS A MANDATORY BRIEFING! This briefing is required to maintain your Level of clearance. Failure to attend will cause your security clearance to be downgraded to CONFIDENTIAL. If NNSY personnel want or need to attend at other bases, below is a list of dates and times held at other loca-tions. If someone attends at the below locations, they need to send to their Department Security Coordinator (DSC) their code the date, time, place and name of the NCIS Agent that gave the brief. The DSC will pass this information to Linda S. Williams, Security.

Anyone who cannot attend due to Temporary Duty (TDY), will have to make arrangements with an NCIS Agent at the location of their TDY and than contact their DSC of the date, time, place and name of the NCIS Agent that gave the brief.

What changes for CIA access?Nothing changes for CIA access. The NAVSEA shipyard badge is still required for all personnel entering and must be displayed at al times while inside. The CIA turnstiles will continue to be operated with the NAVSEA shipyard badge. The NAVSEA badges are not changing. Requests for badges will still be sent to pass office.

Why is this change taking place? The purpose of this change is to improve overall Navy security as it will provide a standard way to check all personnel coming onto Navy bases.

NNSY CFC Week 2 UpdateBy Dorassa Fields, NNSY CFC Coordinator

I wanted to inform you of the results from [NNSY’s last] blood drive. There were 52 sign-ins and 48 donors. This was a very good drive, one which will make a significant impact on our shipping requirements for the DoD’s donor program as well as in servicing our hospital patients. We are especially thankful to all those indi-viduals from your installation who made the time and effort to support this critically impor-tant mission. Again, many thanks. We wish for all the per-sonnel continued safe operations and we look forward to working with you again on Nov. 15.

NNSY blood drive draws out donors

In observance of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NNSY’s Federal Women’s Program (FWP) is asking that all breast cancer survivors at Norfolk Naval Shipyard contact Frieda McCray by Oct. 7 at 396-7702 or frieda.mccray@navy.mil so FWP can honor you. Also, join the NNSY Federal Women’s Program Committee on Oct. 21 in celebrating Pink Out Day. We are asking ALL shipyard and tenant activity employees to wear something pink. Show your colors in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

NNSY’s Federal Women’s Program observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Several women of NNSY’s IT Department (Code 1230) recently joined forces to design an entry for the 2011 Macarthur Mall Bra-Ha-Ha, a fundraising program designed to provide free mammograms and heighten awareness about breast cancer. The participants brainstormed an idea for a shipyard-themed bra, in patriotic colors and designed with Navy memorabilia, that will be on display at MacArthur Mall this month.“The crane is a symbol of the shipyard and the chains provide the support to woman who have/had breast cancer. The bra represents the strength and the beauty of the women of the shipyard friends and family. Additionally, it represents our compassion, commitment, and support to our co-workers and shipmates, moth-ers, sisters, daughters, aunts, nieces, cousins, and friends, who are survivors,” said April Beck-Miller.
