DOE Form 5631.20 (formerly DOE Form DP 277) is confusing to fill out and not all the information needed for approval is obvious, based on what the form requests. The table below should prove extremely helpful, if followed, in expediting Group requests for LANL visits to other classified facilities. Items in White must be supplied or form cannot be processed and will be returned to requesting Group. Items in Navy are completed by the Badge Office.
