PSH-20-0003 - In the Matter of Personnel Security Hearing

On January 16, 2020, an Administrative Judge determined that an individual's access authorization under 10 C.F.R. Part 710 should be revoked. The Individual is employed by a DOE contractor in a position that requires her to hold a DOE security clearance. The Individual was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in December 2018. She testified at the hearing that she had remained abstinent from alcohol for several months following a relapse in July 2019. After reviewing the evidence and observing all of the testimony at the hearing, the Administrative Judge determined that the Individual had not resolved the security concerns. Accordingly, she concluded that the Individual's access authorization should be revoked. OHA Case No. PSH-20-0003 (Kimberly Jenkins-Chapman).
