                               (CONTINUED)
 
PART 271--OBTAINING INFORMATION FROM FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 271.2  Policy.

    (a) Financial records shall be sought regarding any individual who 
is an applicant for employment with the NSA/CSS or who has a current 
security clearance and/or access granted by the NSA/CSS, and regarding 
any other individual assigned or detailed to the NSA/CSS when such 
records are relevant to a final determination with respect to 
employment, continued assignment or detail, clearance, access or other 
related actions.
    (b) The NSA/CSS shall seek the consent of an individual when 
obtaining that individual's financial records from a financial 
institution. Refusal of an individual to provide such consent may be 
grounds for denying access to all Sensitive Compartmented Information 
(SCI) and to other classified information in NSA/CSS custody if the 
circumstances of such refusal or the nature of the records sought 
prevent the NSA/CSS from determining that such access is or would be 
clearly consistent with the national security.
    (c) Any actions relative to obtaining financial records without an 
individual's consent shall be conducted in accordance with the 
provisions of DoD Directive 5400.12, found in 32 CFR part 275, as 
appropriate.
