The document below is used for a Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) inspection. A TSCM Inspection is a limited activity addressing specific concerns. An inspection evaluates the changes to an operating environment to identify if vulnerabilities were inadvertently created due to modifications or upgrades of the area. Inspections are required to assess the technical integrity of furnishings, electronic equipment, proposed or completed construction, gifts or installation of items not previously examined by the DOE HQ technical security team.
Areas subject to recurring services are required to have TSCM inspections of equipment, furnishings, etc., when items enter the facilities. TEMPEST and TSCM item inspections are usually accomplished simultaneously.
Personnel working in classified areas must submit this form to TecSec for all items listed in the DOE Controlled Articles Matrix found in the HQFMSP Chapter 2 attachments.
