Why are some of the directives restricted from the general public?
Public access was restricted to several Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS), Office of the Chief Information Officer, and Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence directives in May 2002, at the request of those offices. The availability of the restricted directives presented an unneeded disclosure of sensitive Departmental operating procedures. Questions regarding this matter or requests for any DOE restricted policies should be directed to the HSS managed mailbox Security.Directives@hq.doe.gov.
