Steps 3 through 8 normally precede construction contract award. The Tech Spec ties CSP approval directly to award (3.B.1) and requires AO approval of the final design before SCIF construction starts (3.A).
Sponsorship. "Security begins when the initial requirement for a SCIF is known" (Tech Spec 2.A). A SCIF exists to meet a government mission need, so every project needs a government sponsor and an identified AO before design starts.
Concept approval (DoD SCIFs). UFC 4-010-05 2-2.1: "The commander must submit a request for SCI to the Service Cognizant Security Authority (CSA), their designee, or DoD Component senior intelligence official (SIO)." The request certifies the need and that no existing SCIF can support it. "Proof of sponsorship in the form of a SCIF number or written documentation of Concept Approval … is required to establish a SCIF." DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2 gives Service CSAs, their designees or DoD Component SIOs the authority to "validate the need for a SCIF and … grant concept approval."

Early AO coordination. The Tech Spec requires coordination with the AO "before construction design, material ordering, or contracts are finalized." In DoD, DIA's accreditation office assigns a SCIF identification number during preconstruction (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2). UFC 4-010-05 2-4 calls for an interdisciplinary planning team; a practitioner model lists the CSA/AO, CTTA, SSO, the construction agent, the SSM and the end user.
Decisions to settle at this stage: storage mode (closed, open or continuous operation), whether a SWA or TSWA meets the need, whether Security-in-Depth is available, discussion and amplified-audio rooms, and whether classified processing will occur (which triggers the TEMPEST Checklist).
"Site survey" is a practitioner term. The documented outputs the AO actually reviews are the risk assessment, the Security-in-Depth documentation, and the Pre-Construction Checklist.
Risk assessment (Tech Spec Ch. 2). The AO and SSM assess "threats, vulnerabilities, and assets to determine the most efficient countermeasures." The analytical risk management process covers threat, vulnerability, probability and consequence. SID factors are documented; overseas, the State Department technical threat rating sets the construction Category. "Exceeding a standard, even when based upon risk, requires that a waiver be processed and approved in accordance with ICD 705."
Pre-Construction Checklist (added in Tech Spec v1.5). It "provides the AO with project information, points of contact and information required to assist in the determination of the security requirements for the project and final accreditation" (UFC 4-010-05 1-19.4).

Compartmented Area checklist and TEMPEST checklist where applicable
Practitioner due diligence (not Tech Spec text): whether walls can run true floor to true deck; windows and floor level; adjacency to public areas and other tenants; building utilities that would transit the space (Tech Spec 3.G restricts this); a location for the primary-entrance vestibule; telecom room location; and landlord approval for penetrations and IDS monitoring pathways.
When. The FFC (Section I) says a facility that electronically processes classified information completes the TEMPEST Checklist. "For an initial TCR, the addendum will be submitted to AO during the planning phase" (UFC 4-010-05 1-19.3).
What the checklist asks (public form):
Section
Content
A. General
Location and controlled space, including distance from the SCIF perimeter to the closest limit of the inspectable space, and foreign-national-occupied areas nearby
B. SCIF Equipment/Systems
Signal lines and power lines that exit the SCIF and whether filters or isolation devices exist; HVAC and pipes; radios; telecom; existing countermeasures; construction materials; windows
C. Information Processing
Equipment that processes unencrypted national security information and the classification levels processed
What happens next. The CTTA reviews and gives "documented results of review with recommendations" to the CSA and AO. Recommended countermeasures are to be incorporated "into design when practicable" (Tech Spec 3.A). ICS 705-1 adds that RF shielding "should be planned for installation during initial construction as costs are significantly higher to retrofit."
Related AO approvals. RF transmitters may not enter a SCIF unless the CTTA or another competent authority evaluates them as low risk and the AO approves (ICS 705-1 §G.2.a). Unclassified systems are evaluated for TEMPEST and TSCM concerns (§G.2.d).
Two AO approvals gate construction: the design and the CSP. The Tech Spec requires the AO to "review and approve the design concept, Construction Security Plan (CSP), and final design for each construction project prior to the start of SCIF construction" (3.A).
Design review. The AO reviews the design concept and final design. Designers "validate planning requirements" (UFC 4-010-05 3-1), and the preliminary FFC is completed for pre-construction review ("Complete Sections as Required by A/O"). DoD documents are "completed and submitted initially around the end of the design phase" (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2).
Construction Security Plan. "Prior to awarding a construction contract, a CSP for each project shall be developed by the SSM and approved by the AO" (Tech Spec 3.B.1). UFC 4-010-05 1-15: "Do not award a construction contract without an approved CSP." The CSP template's baseline "may not be reduced without coordination and approval."

DoD package items (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2): IDS specification sheets, UL 2050 certificate, NIST 128-bit encryption certificate for IDS, and IDS test results.
Acoustics (Tech Spec Ch. 9). Acoustic verification is performed as the AO requires, either audio (non-instrumental) tests, which "must be approved by the AO," or instrumented tests. See: Acoustics & Sound Masking.
Other systems. ACS per Chapter 8 and telecom per Chapter 11 are documented on the FFC. TEMPEST or RF testing is performed if the CTTA and AO require it.
The FFC is "a standardized form that documents the physical, technical, and procedural security information to obtain accreditation" (UFC 4-010-05 1-19.2).

Inspection. ICS 705-2 provides for "inspections conducted by [the AO] or designee prior to final accreditation." UFC 4-010-05 1-19.1: "Inspections and evaluations are typically performed by the SSM, or designee, prior to initial accreditation. The accreditation process includes, site inspections and a review of documents relating to design, construction, and testing." For SAP areas, CDSE SA501 states the accrediting official "will physically inspect any SAP area before accreditation."

Interim accreditation. The Tech Spec expressly provides interim accreditation for overseas SCIFs (Ch. 4.I and 5.K): "Upon completion of a successful inspection, the respective agency's AO may issue an Interim Accreditation pending receipt of required documentation," or "If documentation is complete, AOs may issue an Interim Accreditation pending the final inspection." A practitioner model also uses an interim phase for testing, IT fit-out, furniture and the final FFC.
The rule that does not bend (DoD): "SCI will not be discussed or introduced into the proposed SCIF until the facility is accredited" (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2).
The letter of accreditation (ICS 705-2 §D.1.a) includes:
Element
Why it matters
SCIF identity
Ties the accreditation to a specific, bounded space. Expanding or reducing the perimeter changes it
Type (for example open or closed storage)
Sets what may be stored and drives alarm response requirements
Effective date
Starts the re-evaluation clock
Statement of compliance with physical, TEMPEST and technical standards
The formal finding the whole package supports
Approved waivers, "to include details of the standard(s) not met and when they are scheduled to be met, or standard(s) exceeded"
Signals loss of mandatory reciprocal use and any compliance deadline
Who issues it. The AO; in DoD, "DAC will review the accreditation package … and will issue a formal written accreditation for the SCIF" (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2). SAPFs are accredited by the SAPF-AO under DoDM 5205.07.
Where it is recorded. Accreditation data goes to the IC SCIF Repository managed by NCSC (ICD 705; ICS 705-2). CSAs are responsible for timely data input (ICS 705-1).
What the letter enables.
SCI operations within the accredited type and perimeter.
Reciprocal acceptance by other IC elements, if there are no waivers.
Co-use by tenants through a signed Co-Use Agreement.
What it does not do.
It does not authorize SAP operations. A Co-Use Agreement is required before SAP is introduced (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2).
It does not authorize a different storage mode, a larger perimeter, or conversion from continuous operation. Each requires re-accreditation in DoD.
It does not freeze the facility. Accreditation is continuously monitored and periodically re-evaluated.
Continuous monitoring is the day-to-day proof that the accredited conditions still exist.

Periodic re-evaluation (ICS 705-2 §D.3.a). The CSA "shall ensure that regular, periodic re-evaluations are conducted … based on the sensitivity of programs, threat, facility modifications, and past security performance, or at least every five years." Results are reported to NCSC via the SCIF Repository within 30 days. TSCM may be part of inspections and reviews (Tech Spec 12.G.8). System changes are documented through FFC "Update/Page Change" submissions.
SAPFs. The cancelled DoDM 5205.07 Vol. 3 required periodic re-inspections "no less frequently than every 3 years," and CDSE SA501 (November 2024) repeats "at least every 3 years for SAPFs."
IC rule (ICS 705-2 §D.4.b). Re-accreditation is required "when there are major modifications to the SCIF, changes to the sensitivity of programs, or to the threat." SCIFs with earlier waivers are re-accredited under current standards. Tech Spec 12.E, Changes in Security and Accreditation, is the governing management section.
DoD rule (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2). "An existing SCIF must be reaccredited when a change occurs" to:
the SCIF perimeter (expansion or reduction);
storage requirements (for example, closed to open storage);
operations, from continuous (24-hour) operation to open or closed storage.
Moving a compartment to another room within the same SCIF does not require re-accreditation.

Time
At least every five years (IC); legacy three years (SAPF)
Periodic re-evaluation
Security-in-Depth changes. If an AO-accepted SID layer changes (for example, building lobby access control is removed or a fence line changes), an open storage SCIF may need a 5-minute rather than 15-minute response. Report it to the AO.
When a waiver may be considered (ICS 705-1). Only in "exceptional circumstances (i.e., only when the standards cannot be met or mitigated), or when there is a documented risk-based mission need to exceed the standards."

Decision and reporting.
The AO prepares the request (ICS 705-1; Tech Spec 3.A).
The IC element head, or a single named senior official who is not the AO, decides (ICD 705).
Approved waivers are reported to D/NCSC no later than 30 days after the decision, via the IC SCIF Repository.
Approved waivers appear in the letter of accreditation with the standard not met or exceeded and when it will be met (ICS 705-2).
DoD waivers are "normally granted for a period of up to 1 year or until such time as the waiver is no longer needed."
Consequences. A waiver removes the SCIF from mandatory reciprocal use (ICS 705-1). Tenants under DoD co-use must "accept current accreditation and any waivers." Waived SCIFs are re-accredited to current standards.
Definition (ICS 705-2 §E.5.a). "De-accreditation of a SCIF is a formal notification to the DNI (via the SCIF Repository) that the facility is no longer accredited." The AO ensures the facility is sanitized in accordance with Tech Spec Chapter 12.I, De-Accreditation Guidelines.

Re-use rule. A SCIF "de-accredited but controlled at the SECRET level … for less than one year may be re-accredited" (Tech Spec 1.B.1; ICS 705-1).
Practical close-out considerations (practitioner synthesis; the Chapter 12.I text was not reviewed for this knowledge base):
Remove or account for all classified material, equipment and media under SSO control.
Return or re-combine locks and containers under the SSO's direction; retired FF-L-2740 locks go to the DoD Lock Program rather than normal waste streams.
Keep the IDS operating and monitored until the SSO confirms closeout, especially if SECRET-level control will be maintained for possible re-accreditation.
Coordinate lease restoration obligations with the security office before demolition starts.
A Co-Use Agreement (CUA) lets a tenant organization use a host's accredited SCIF under the host's accreditation. "CUA" means Co-Use (co-utilization) Agreement, not "controlled unclassified area."

SAP and SCI co-location. "If only part of the SCIF will be used for the SAP, it will be treated as a compartmented area … a CUA must be established prior to the introduction of a SAP" (DoDM 5105.21 Vol. 2). Under the legacy SAP manual, a CUA was also required before SCI entered a SAPF or SAPCA. The 2025 DoDM 5205.07 addresses "Acceptance of Existing Accreditation" for SAP discussion in accredited SCIFs.
Exceptions that do not need a CUA (ICS 705-2):
Temporary storage of SCI on behalf of other organizations "for up to seven calendar days."
Occasional use of SCIF conference rooms by other organizations, allowed by the SSO.
