On July 20, 2021, an Administrative Judge determined that an Individual's access authorization should be restored under 10 C.F.R. Part 710. The Individual was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or Drugs (DUI) in 2017 and Aggravated Driving While Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or Drugs (Aggravated DWI) in 2018. Both charges were ultimately dismissed for failure to prosecute by the local prosecuting authority. The Individual represented in written submissions to the local security office (LSO) and in a clinical interview with a DOE-contracted psychologist (DOE Psychologist) that she was not intoxicated on either occasion in which she was arrested for alcohol-related offenses and that she consumed alcohol in moderation. However, a Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) test requested by the DOE Psychologist provided evidence that the Individual was consuming significantly more alcohol than she had admitted. The DOE Psychologist diagnosed the Individual with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Mild, under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition and opined that she habitually consumed alcohol to the point of impaired judgment. The DOE Psychologist recommended that the Individual abstain from alcohol for at least six months, demonstrate her abstinence from alcohol through alcohol testing, and either attend an intensive outpatient alcohol treatment program or participate in Alcoholics Anonymous. At the hearing, the Individual testified that she had abstained from alcohol for approximately eighteen months and provided PEth test results demonstrating that she had not consumed alcohol in the six months prior to the hearing. The Individual also established that she had attended alcohol-related classes offered by an occupational medicine counselor at the DOE site at which she was employed and testified that the classes provided her with a deeper understanding of alcohol misuse that would help her avoid returning to problematic alcohol consumption. The counselor who provided the classes testified that the Individual was an engaged participant in the classes and opined that the Individual had a positive prognosis for avoiding returning to problematic alcohol consumption. After observing the entire hearing, the DOE Psychologist opined that the Individual had satisfied his treatment recommendations, that her AUD was in full remission, and that she had a very good prognosis for avoiding a return to problematic alcohol consumption. Based on the Individual's demonstrated abstinence from alcohol in accordance with treatment recommendations and the positive prognoses offered by the Individual's counselor and the DOE Psychologist, the Administrative Judge concluded that the Individual had resolved the security concerns asserted by the LSO under Guideline G. Therefore, the Administrative Judge determined that the Individual's access authorization should be restored. OHA Case No. PSH-21-0055 (Phillip Harmonick).
