NASA GPR 1600.1

Abstract

<strong>PURPOSE</strong> <br>This directive establishes security policies and procedures for the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and its component facilities as required in NPD 1600.2 and NPR 1600.1. It establishes security program standards and requirements necessary to achieve Center-wide security program consistency and uniformity, while allowing reasonable flexibility in implementing risk management principles, where appropriate, at all GSFC facilities. It also describes management security responsibilities. <br>To ensure that all security requirements are met with minimum disruption to normal activities, this document defines the responsibilities, coordination, and controls to be followed. It describes both routine and emergency operations. <br>This directive implements the requirements of NPR 1600.1 at GSFC, and is organized such that it follows, chapter-by-chapter, the organization of the first nine chapters of the NPR. Chapter 10 implements NPR 1620.3. Chapter 11 implements NPR 1660.1. Chapters 12 and 13 describe GSFC requirements not currently covered in Agency directives. <br><strong>APPLICABILITY</strong> <br>This directive applies to all GSFC personnel, facilities, and activities, including all permanent and temporary sites, and to all GSFC contractors, tenant organizations, tenant contractors, grantees, clubs, visitors, vendors, guests, and/or anyone else doing business or physically on the GSFC or its component facilities, in accordance with applicable law and as directed by contractual, grant, and agreement documents. <br>GSFC, in the context of this directive, includes the Greenbelt site, the Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), and the Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Facility. Exceptions or special provisions for specific sites are identified in the body of the document.
