Access Denial Waiver Process

1. Access Denial Waiver Process: In cases where an uncleared visitor, contractor, or subcontractor is denied access based on derogatory information obtained from an NCIC-III check, the individual may request an access denial wavier application packet from the Visitor Center.

  1. Access Denial Waiver Application Packet. The access denial wavier application packet instructs the individual to do the following:
    1. Obtain a certified copy of their complete criminal history which must include all arrests and convictions.
    2. Obtain a letter of support from their government sponsor. The letter must indicate that the sponsor requests the individual be granted unescorted access to accomplish a specific purpose, the anticipated frequency and duration of such visits. Persons otherwise authorized unescorted access may act as their own government sponsor.
      1. Nature and seriousness of the conduct.
      2. Specific circumstances surrounding the conduct.
      3. Length of time elapsed since the conduct.
      4. The age of the individual at the time of the incident/conduct.
      5. Proof of efforts towards rehabilitation.
      6. Provide a current physical or e-mail address to enable the Senior Commander or Garrison Commander to transmit a copy of his/her waiver request determination.
  2. The government sponsor will review the individual's packet for completeness and take the following actions:
    1. Determine whether to endorse the request for a waiver.
    2. If the sponsor endorses the waiver request, he/she must provide a letter of recommendation for the individual that addresses the conduct that caused the denial and indicate why the conduct should not prohibit the individual from being granted unescorted access to Carlisle Barracks.
    3. Submit the waiver request packet to the Senior Commander or Garrison Commander for consideration.
    4. If a contractor or subcontractor employee is terminated, the sponsor must inform the Senior Commander or Garrison Commander or designated representative, and DES that unescorted access is no longer supported.

2. Approval Process for Access Denial Waiver Applications

  1. The designated government Official(s) will review the access denial waiver applications and make a fitness determination recommendation to the approving authority. The Senior Commander or the Garrison Commander is the approving authority.
  2. The Senior Commander or Garrison Commander will review the waiver application and render a determination that ensures proper protection of good order and discipline, and health and safety on the installation.
  3. The Senior Commander or Garrison Commander will provide a copy of the determination to the individual, the government sponsor, and DES.
  4. Individuals who have had a waiver request denied may request reconsideration from the Senior Commander or Garrison Commander after one year from the date of the Commander's decision or earlier if the individual can present significant information that was not available at the time of the original request, or that the basis for the original denial was overturned, rescinded, or expired.
