On September 8, 2021, an Administrative Judge determined that an individual's access authorization under 10 C.F.R. Part 710 should be restored. The Individual is employed by a DOE contractor in a position that requires her to hold a DOE security clearance. In April 2019, the Individual was arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and was ordered to remain on probation until February 2021. The Individual self-reported the incident, and in response, the Local Security Office (LSO) provided the Individual with a Letter of Interrogatory, which she completed in May 2019. In January 2020, the Individual was again arrested and charged with DWI. She later underwent a psychological evaluation by a DOE consultant psychologist (Psychologist) in September 2020, and the Psychologist diagnosed her with Alcohol Use Disorder, Moderate, without adequate evidence of rehabilitation or reformation. At the hearing, the Individual testified that the DWIs occurred shortly after she underwent a weight loss surgery that altered her body's ability to process alcohol. Following the second DWI, she immediately began attending AA on a frequent, meaningful, and regular basis. At the time of the hearing, the Individual testified that she had been abstinent from alcohol for   19 months and provided eight Phosphatidylethanol PEth tests, spanning a one-year period, to support her testimony. The Individual testified regarding her support system and revised coping mechanisms. After hearing the Individual's testimony, the Psychologist opined that the Individual had demonstrated adequate evidence of rehabilitation and reformation from the Alcohol Use Disorder, Moderate, and concluded that the Individual has a "good" prognosis with a low risk of relapse. After considering the evidence in the record and testimony presented at the hearing, the Administrative Judge determined that the Individual had resolved the security concerns associated with Guideline G and Guideline J. Accordingly, she concluded that the Individual's access authorization should be restored. (Case No. PSH-21-0059, Katie Quintana)
