NUCLEAR WEAPONS PERSONNEL RELIABILITY PROGRAM

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

This Air Force instruction (AFI) implements Air Force Policy Directive 36-21, Utilization and Classification of Air Force Military Personnel, and Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5210.42, Nuclear Weapon Personnel Reliability Program (PRP), May 25, 1993. It explains how certifying officials screen, select, and monitor people who work with nuclear weapons and direct the removal of all individuals with questionable reliability. This AFI does not apply to the Air Reserve Components (ARC).

This instruction requires the collection of information protected by the Privacy Act of 1974. Your authority to collect this information is in Title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 8013. System of Records Notice F030 AF MP A, Personnel Data System, also applies.

Coordinate major command (MAJCOM) level publications with Headquarters Air Force Military Personnel Center, Assignment Programs Section (HQ AFMPC/DPMRIP1), 550 C Street W Suite 32, Randolph AFB TX 78150-4734. Address only Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) management in these instructions. Process supplements that affect any military personnel function as shown in AFI 37-160, volume 1, table 3.2, The Air Force Publications and Forms Management Program--Developing and Processing Publications (formerly Air Force Regulation (AFR) 5-8). See attachment 1 for references, abbreviations, acronyms, terms, and addresses.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This is the first publication of AFI 36-2104. This revision streamlines PRP procedures; elevates administrative certification authority to unit commanders versus headquarters squadron section commander; identifies the MSSQ commander (CC) as the senior commander's representative on PRP matters; deletes the unit PRP monitor responsibilities; changes the Social Actions Office and Family Support Center responsibilities to base agency responsibilities; changes duration for suspense and interim certifications and suspension; establishes the Wing CC (or equivalent) as the approval or disapproval authority for permanently decertifying and reinstating DoD civilians to PRP duties; moves PRP status codes and decertification cause codes to attachments; and moves all figures for certification and decertification to PC-III Help screens.

1.2. MAJCOM Directorate of Personnel. Administers the PRP for the command and serves as liaison on PRP matters within the command staff. Designates, in writing, military and civilian PRP monitors for the MAJCOM-level PRP.

1.3. MAJCOM PRP Monitor:

1.3.1. Advises and assists all serviced organizations.
1.3.2. Recommends improvements to the PRP and prepares the MAJCOM PRP supplement, if necessary.
1.3.3. Works with the MAJCOM Weapons Safety Officer (WSO) on PRP matters.

1.3.4. Provides checklists and guidance to the MAJCOM inspector general (IG) teams and validates IG findings on PRP.
1.3.5. Reviews the content of MAJCOM PRP training courses.
1.3.6. Establishes MAJCOM procedures in coordination with other MAJCOM offices sharing PRP responsibilities.
1.3.7. Coordinates MAJCOM procedures with the HQ USAF OPR.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.2. Group and Unit Commanders:
2.2.1. Certify, decertify, and remove personnel according to DoD Directive 5210.42 and local procedures (see attachment 2).
2.2.1.1. Administratively certify non-PRP individuals within 30 days of notification of their assignment to a PRP position. Certify individuals upon their arrival to the location before they perform any PRP duties.
2.2.1.2. Document these certifications and decertifications on the Report on Individual Person (RIP) Personnel Reliability program Administrative Certification (PRPCER), AF Form 286, Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) Certificate, or AF Form 286A, Notification of Personnel Reliability Program Permanent Decertification Action. For DoD civilians, annotate the AF Form 971, Supervisors Employee Brief, to record PRP certification.
2.2.1.3. In the event the AF Forms 286 or 286A are not in the unit personnel record group, obtain the certification or decertification dates from the personnel or medical records and reaccomplish the form.
2.2.2. Identify each position requiring a PRP-certified individual, coding only the minimum number of PRP positions and reevaluate annually. In some cases you may require additional-duty PRP positions. Certify those selected for additional-duty PRP positions according to this instruction, but do not document these requirements on the Unit Manning Document.
2.2.3. Delegate certification or decertification authority in writing to a certification official (CO) when the number of certifications warrant (attachment 1).
2.2.4. Screen personnel records and arrange for medical records screening or medical examination for each PRP candidate.
2.2.5. Initiate the appropriate security investigation (see AFI 31-501, Personnel Security Program Management [formerly AFR 205-32]) making sure the local security police accept it and forward it off base to the Defense Investigative Service (DIS). (See paragraphs 2.2.10 through 2.2.13 and attachment 3).
2.2.5.1. Ensure Defense Investigative Service (DIS) completes a current single scope background investigation (SSBI) or higher investigation on each person in a position designated critical before certifying them. The term SSBI, as used in this instruction, includes the single scope background investigation (SSBI), special background investigation (SBI), or background investigation (BI).
2.2.5.2. Ensure DIS completes a current security clearance with a favorable National Agency Check (NAC) or higher investigation on each person in a controlled position before certifying them. The term NAC, used in this instruction, includes the Entrance National Agency Check (ENTNAC) and the National Agency Check Plus Written Inquiries (NACI).
2.2.6. Ensure that individuals certified for PRP meet all the following criteria:
2.2.6.1. Have an S-1 physical profile (for civilians, physical competence, and mental alertness).
2.2.6.2. Are technically competent to perform the assigned duties.
2.2.6.3. Have the required security investigation (see paragraph 2.2.5) and a security clearance level commensurate with the security classification of information required for the position. Disqualify a person from PRP duties when security clearance is withdrawn for cause (see attachment 2).
2.2.6.4. Have a positive attitude toward nuclear weapons duty and the objectives of the PRP.
2.2.6.5. Are not under consideration for separation for cause, under court-martial charges, or awaiting civilian trial for felony charges. NOTE: The certifying official can temporarily decertify an individual pending the outcome of these actions.
2.2.6.6. Are US citizens or US Nationals.
2.2.6.7. Do not have a history of drug abuse.
2.2.6.7.1. With the exception of preservice cannabis use, all other drug abuse and misuse is permanently disqualifying.

• Isolated or experimental use of cannabis before service does not automatically disqualify people for PRP certification. The certifying official decides whether such preservice use impairs the individual's reliability.
• In-service use of cannabis does not automatically disqualify people for PRP certification if they were certified for PRP duties prior to 25 May 93 in accordance with then existing guidance.
  

2.3. Mission Support Squadron (MSSQ) Commander:
2.3.1. Represents the senior commander on PRP matters.
2.3.2. Informs units or commanders, and their supporting staff agencies, on policy or procedural changes.
2.3.3. Trains MPF and CPF personnel on the program objectives.
2.3.4. Keeps a current listing of civilian positions designated under the PRP.
2.3.5. Publishes PRP rosters (see AFMAN 36-2622, Base Level Military Personnel System Users Manual [formerly AFM 30-130, volume 2]).
2.3.6. Monitors unit PRP status updates (at PC III bases) or update unit requests for status updates (at non-PC III bases). Updates frequently and accurately. See attachments 5 and 6.
2.3.7. Files AF Forms 286 and 286A in the permanent section of the UPRG until a new AF Form 286 replaces them. HQ AFMPC/DPMRIP1 is the only office who may remove AF Forms 286A.
2.3.8. Helps to place permanently decertified DoD civilians.
2.3.9. Ensures MPF-generated TDY orders reflect PRP status codes.

2.4. Director, Base Medical Services (DBMS):
2.4.1. Appoints a competent medical authority (attachment 1) within the DBMS function to make medical recommendations of reliability.
2.4.2. Screens the health records, including preservice or pre-employment documents, of military members, DoD civilians, contractor employees, and candidates for employment and notify the CO of all PDI. Makes recommendations on their suitability to perform PRP duties before formal certification.
2.4.3. Identifies all medical and dental records belonging to PRP-certified individuals using AF Form 745, Sensitive Duties Program Record Identifier (see AFI 41-115, Medical Programs and Benefits [formerly AFRs 168-2 and 168-4]).
2.4.4. Notifies the certifying official or designated representative if the medical authority has any doubt about a person's reliability. Reviews medical or dental treatment, including referrals, on PRP individuals by nonmilitary providers. Treat these procedures in the same way you treat those performed by military providers.

• Document such notifications on the health record. Describe the medical recommendation in enough detail so that the CO can decide on the individual's reliability (attachment 8).

Section C--Terms

Active Service--A general term applied to all active military service with the active force without regard to duration or purpose. For PRP purposes:

• Consider cadets or midshipmen at any of the four service academies as active duty.
• Do not consider Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) personnel as active duty. Pre-commissioning security investigations done on officers are not valid for PRP unless completed within 2 years of the date these officers report for active duty after commissioning.
• Do a new investigation for individuals enlisted in the Armed Forces under the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) when their ENTNAC is over 2 years old at the time of enlistment.

• Driving under the influence.
• Domestic disturbances.
• Assault.
• Diagnosed physical and psychological problems.

• They return to active duty or employment after an absence of 2 years or more. Inactive service in a US Armed Forces Reserve or National Guard component constitutes a break in service even if active duty for training or other temporary active service occurs, and;
• More than 2 years have elapsed since the date their last security investigation was completed and the extended active duty (EAD) date. This applies to individuals enlisted under the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) and officers who have received a commission through Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC).

• Administrative Certification. A statement by the losing commander (not headquarters squadron section commander) that the person in question is qualified for a projected assignment to PRP duties.
• Formal Certification. A statement by the certifying official that the person in question is qualified for assignments requiring critical or controlled certification. Formal certification occurs on the person's arrival at the new assignment but before he or she performs any PRP duties.
• Interim Certification. The same as formal certification except that personnel with this certification are subject to restrictions pending completion of a current security investigation.
• PCA Recertification. The same as formal certification (excluding medical screening), but resulting from a PRP certified individual moving from one unit to another, changing position number or billet and certifying official.

• For military and Department of Defense (DoD) civilian personnel, this individual is:
• · The commander who controls nuclear weapons, weapons systems, or critical components. The commander may delegate this duty to a deputy or assistant in the functional chain-of-command.
• · The official who trains people for PRP assignments and who maintains the personal contact needed to evaluate the trainee.
• For contractor personnel, the person designated in the contract who has technical knowledge of the contract and contact with the individuals the official will certify.
• By position, a MAJCOM commander is a certifying official and need not be certified regardless of duties. If CO duties are delegated to an a deputy or assistant, the delegated CO must be certified for PRP.

Competent Medical Authority--A US military medical officer or a US civilian physician employed by or under contract to the US Government designated by the supporting US military medical treatment facility commander. Other qualified medical personnel (officer or enlisted) specifically qualified, trained and designated by the supporting US medical treatment facility commander, may be appointed to review medical records for the purpose of PRP eligibility recommendation only. NOTE: Specifically, Independent Duty Medical Technicians (IDMT) at a Munition Support Squadron (MUNSS).

Controlled Position--A position that requires the assigned person to enter a no-lone zone unescorted or to control entry into a no-lone zone. The person has no technical knowledge pertaining to the launching, releasing, or detonating of a nuclear weapon or critical component.

Critical Component--A component of a nuclear weapon system that if bypassed, activated, or tampered with could contribute to authorization, prearming, arming, or launching of a combat delivery vehicle carrying a nuclear weapon, or the mistargeting of a nuclear weapon.

Critical Position--A position that requires a person to be in close physical proximity to a nuclear weapon. This person uses technical data on the electrical or mechanical parts of a nuclear weapon or weapons system that launch, release, or detonate the weapon.

Drug Abuse--The illegal, wrongful, or improper use, possession, sale, or transfer of any narcotic, cannabis, or other controlled substance. For PRP purposes, drug abuse also includes the abuse of anabolic steroids and misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medication.

Individual Reliability--Stable performance in carrying out duties associated with nuclear weapons, weapons systems, or critical components.

Medical Treatment Facility (MTF)--A facility established to provide medical and dental care to eligible individuals. (Joint Pub 1-02)

Notification--A procedure used by support agencies (such as MTF, social actions, security police) to inform the commander of a person who should be considered for suspension or decertification. (Joint Pub 1-02)

Nuclear Weapon--A complete assembly (implosion type, gun type, or thermonuclear type) whose arming, fusing, and firing can produce the intended nuclear reaction and release of energy. (Joint Pub 1-02)

Nuclear Weapons System--A combat delivery vehicle with its nuclear weapon or weapons and associated support equipment, noncombat delivery vehicles, facilities, and services.

Permanent Decertification--A determination by the certifying official the person does not meet the reliability standards specified in this Instruction or in DoD Directive 5210.42.

Personnel Data System (PDS)--The total vertical computerized personnel data system. Use it when a specific subsystem is not being referenced. The system is designed to uniformly manage and administer of active duty military, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, retired, and civilian personnel.

Personnel Reliability--A commander's determination of an individual's trustworthiness to perform duties related to nuclear weapons.

Potentially Disqualifying Information--Any information regarding a person's reliability to include, but not limited to, drug or alcohol abuse, emotional, character and behavior disorders, and medical conditions.

Reviewing Official--The commander or a designated representative at the command level immediately above the certifying official (no lower than wing or comparable level commander). The reviewing official makes final decisions on permanent decertification case files.

Sensitive Duty--The medical community uses this terminology to refer to the PRP in this AFI and the Presidential Support Program (AFI 31-501). Use AF Form 745, Sensitive Duties Program Record Identifier, to identify the health records of personnel in PRP.

Substance Abuse--The illegal use of any psychoactive substance. This definition includes the misuse of any prescribed medication and "designer" drugs or the abuse of alcohol. See AFI 36-2701.

Suspension--Actions initiated by the certifying official, the supervisor, or the individual to temporarily relieve a person from PRP duties (attachment 2).

Technical Competence--The degree of skill and knowledge required to perform the assigned tasks effectively. Personnel with an entry-level Air Force specialty code (AFSC) are technically competent for purposes of the PRP.

Temporary Decertification--An interim procedure used to prohibit an individual from performing PRP duties.

Two-Person Concept--A system designed to prohibit access by one individual to nuclear weapons and certain designated components. It requires the presence, at all times, of at least two authorized persons, each capable of detecting an incorrect or unauthorized procedure with respect to the task to be performed.

• When the individual's reliability is not in question.
• When the problem is temporary.
• While researching the facts to determine if an individual's reliability is impaired.
  

• Remove the suspended individual from duties requiring PRP certification.
• Notify the individual's supervisor of the suspension and brief the individual on the suspension. In the briefing, explain that the individual must not perform PRP-related duties.
• Continue evaluating the individual's reliability.
  

• Recorded by name, SSN, reason, and date for each notification with the commander's decision for suspension.
• Not PDS-updated and not annotated on AF Form 286 or 286A.
  

A2.2. Temporary Decertification. Use this action to keep an individual from performing PRP duties when an individual's reliability is in question or impaired and neither suspension nor permanent decertification is appropriate. Do not use temporary decertification if the facts dictate permanent decertification. A person who is temporarily decertified may not perform duties requiring PRP certification.
A2.2.1. Application. Temporary decertification applies only to individuals who are interim- or formally certified.
A2.2.1.1. Use it when a 30-day suspension expires or while researching the facts of an incident or situation.
A2.2.1.2. Make sure that temporary decertification does not delay military separation or discharge processing or impede mandatory intrabase moves or PCS action.
A2.2.1.3. If you can't resolve a temporary decertification and military reassignment is mandatory, the losing commander must explain why the individual is being reassigned in a temporarily decertified status.

• Notify the gaining commander in writing at least 30 days before the member's projected departure.
• Send copies to HQ AFMPC/DPMRIP1, the gaining and losing MAJCOM PRP monitors and the gaining or losing MPF/MSPU.
  

A2.3. Permanent Decertification. Use this action to remove an individual from the PRP. Use it in situations that won't allow suspension or temporary decertification. Permanent decertification indicates the individual has questionable reliability or long-term impaired capability (longer than temporary decertification time frame). Under these circumstances, the individual may not perform duties requiring PRP certification.
A2.3.1. Application. Permanent decertification applies to individuals who are certified in the PRP or are being screened for the PRP. Permanently decertify when:

• You have confirmation of the person's drug abuse (see attachment 1).
• The person is diagnosed as an alcohol abuser or alcohol dependent.
• The person is being involuntarily discharged or removed for cause. In this situation, permanently decertify the individual and update the PDS before discharge.
  

• Remove the person from duties requiring PRP certification.
• Notify the person in writing of the removal within 15 workdays, giving reasons. Provide a copy to the CPF for DoD civilians.
• Notify all agencies supporting the unit's PRP that the person is no longer PRP-certified.
• The reviewing official reviews the case.
  

NOTE. COs may approve extensions of the interim certification period at 90-day intervals after confirming with DIS that the delay of the investigation is not the result of derogatory information. The individual remains in PDS status code E or T. If you do not receive the investigation update by the expiration of the interim certification and no extension is granted, then remove the individual from PRP duties.

• The PRP is designed to select people of the highest reliability to perform nuclear-related duties.
• The PRP is intended to prevent the unauthorized launch of a missile or aircraft armed with a nuclear weapon, or the unauthorized detonation of a nuclear weapon.
• When approving an individual for the PRP, a certifying official is certifying that the person can be trusted to perform nuclear-related duties in a predictable and acceptable manner.
  

• Emphasize that records and performance data must show that the individual meets the high standards of the PRP and that the interview is intended to give the certifying official further clarification of this. Don't overemphasize negative aspects.
• Advise the individual that people who perform PRP-related duties must be mentally stable at all times.
• Explain the importance of the assignment, the responsibilities involved, and the individual's obligations under the PRP's continuing observation and evaluation.
• Ensure that the individual has a positive attitude toward nuclear weapons-related duties.
• Discuss documented PDI in sufficient detail that you are either comfortable certifying the person or know enough that your judgment is to permanently decertify the person.
• Ask direct questions which allow the person to disclose any PDI that is not already documented.
  

NOTE. Use DINs JZY and AEJ for civilians.
