Sec. 159a.82  Review of special access programs.

    (a) Excluding those Programs specified in Sec. 159a.81 (a), (b), or 
(c), each Special Access Program shall be reviewed annually by the DoD 
Component responsible for establishment of the Program. To accommodate 
such reviews, DoD Components shall institute procedures to ensure the 
conduct of annual security inspections, with or without prior notice, 
and regularly scheduled audits by security, contract administration, and 
audit organizations. Also, Program managers shall ensure that Special 
Access Program activities have undergone a current review by legal 
counsel for compliance with law, executive order, regulation, and 
national policy. To accomplish such reviews, specially cleared pools of 
attorneys may be utilized, but in all cases legal counsel shall be 
provided with all information necessary to perform such reviews.
    (b) Special Access Programs, excluding those specified in 
Sec. 159a.81 (a), (b), or (c), or those required by treaty or 
international agreement, shall terminate automatically every 5 years 
unless reestablished in accordance with the procedures contained in 
Sec. 159a.81.
