- QNSP (pdf): To be completed if your job requires a Q clearance. Check with your new manager before filling out the QNSP paperwork. The Laboratory has a limited number of allocations for Q clearances. New allocations come out once a year. Ensure you have an allocation before submitting your paperwork otherwise it will not be processed. Once you receive notification that there is an allocation, submit it to either HR or your manager and ask that they arrange a meeting with the Security office during your house-hunting trip. Unfortunately, the Lab will not pay for two trips.
