(e) Escorted Access-Temporary Passes: Personnel may receive a temporary pass, Air Force Form 75/Visitor and Vehicle Pass, for no more than 30 total days in one 365 day period. This pass is issued without a criminal background check, but requires a Wants & Warrants check. Persons with temporary passes receive escorted access rights only, i. e.; they must be escorted at all times by an escort official. Escorted personnel must be with their escort official (the escort official must be in plain view) at all times while on the installation. (f) Personnel Background Checks (1) The 45th Security Forces will conduct the background check at no cost to the applicant. Refusal to submit to the background check will result in denial of access.

The determination will be made based on the results of the background investigation, totality of the criminal record and the types of crime reported. (3) Individuals may appeal denial of escorted/unescorted installation access through the Security Forces. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant who is denied access to submit supporting documents such as court, police or arrest records, evidence of community involvement, letters of recommendation to the denial authority for reconsideration.

Background checks cannot be performed from only a list of names. (End of clause) (g) The Government will not be held responsible for contractual impacts or delays caused by the contractor's failure to take prompt action in providing the required information and documentation to obtain access to Patrick AFB and Cape Canaveral AFS.
