When an individual is to be assigned to a position that requires a security clearance at one level higher than that currently possessed by the individual, the assignment may be made on a provisional basis, provided that: the compelling need for access to EUCI at a higher level shall be justified, in writing, by the individual’s superior; access shall be limited to specific items of EUCI in support of the assignment; the individual holds a valid PSC or authorisation for access to EUCI; action has been initiated to obtain authorisation for the level of access required for the position; satisfactory checks have been made by the competent authority that the individual has not seriously or repeatedly infringed security regulations; the assignment of the individual is approved by the competent authority; and a record of the exception, including a description of the information to which access was approved, shall be kept by the registry or subordinate registry responsible.
