Which type of security clearance is not valid for personnel on a communications security (COMSEC) access list?
- A.
A final security clearance.
- B.
An interim security clearance.
- C.
A clearance equal to the COMSEC being accessed.
- D.
A clearance higher than the COMSEC being accessed.
Correct Answer
B. An interim security clearance.Explanation
An interim security clearance is not valid for personnel on a communications security (COMSEC) access list because it is a temporary clearance granted while a full background investigation is being conducted. It does not provide the same level of trust and assurance as a final security clearance, a clearance equal to the COMSEC being accessed, or a clearance higher than the COMSEC being accessed. Therefore, personnel on a COMSEC access list must have a final security clearance or a clearance that meets or exceeds the level of the COMSEC they are accessing.Rate this question:
