What procedures are used for industrial security clearance hearings and appeals?
The procedures for industrial security clearance hearings and appeals are set forth in DoD Directive 5220.6, with details appearing in the Additional Procedural Guidance portion of that Directive. The DOHA Hearing Office also sends to applicants a copy of Prehearing Guidance for DOHA Hearings. When the Appeal Board receives a timely notice of appeal, it sends to the parties a copy of Appeal Instructions. The Prehearing Guidance for DOHA Hearings and the Appeal Instructions do not replace or supersede the provisions of the Directive, they merely supplement the Directive’s provisions.
