On June 26, 2018, an OHA Administrative Judge issued a decision in which he determined that an Individual's DOE access authorization should not be restored. The LSO relied upon the Individual's history of alcohol consumption, his false statements to a DOE Psychologist, and his history of situational depression in invoking Guidelines E, G, and I. At the hearing, the Individual presented evidence that he had voluntarily taken measures to recover from his alcoholism and depression, including attending counseling and outpatient treatment programs. The Individual testified, and presented supporting witness testimony, that he intended to abstain from alcohol forever and that his depression was controlled through counseling and support groups. After carefully considering the totality of the record, the Administrative Judge found that the Individual had not resolved the concerns raised under Guideline G regarding his alcohol consumption because he had not abstained from alcohol long enough to overcome the risks indicated by a recent relapse. The Administrative Judge also found that the Individual had not resolved the concerns raised under Guidelines E and I regarding his lack of candor and psychological condition because his lack of candor and his mental health were so intimately tied to his alcohol use that, until his alcohol issues were resolved, the Individual's honesty and depression concerns could not be resolved. Consequently, based on all of the above, the Administrative Judge found that the Individual's access authorization should not be restored. OHA Case No. PSH-18-0023 (Richard A. Cronin).
