If the person who normally accepts deliveries is not cleared, that individual must...

• A. Call the Facility Security Officer (FSO) or another cleared person to sign for packages that require signatures
• B. Sign for the package themselves
• C. Refuse the package
• D. Notify the sender

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that deliveries requiring a signature must be handled by someone who is cleared to receive classified or sensitive material. If the person who normally accepts deliveries isn’t cleared, the proper step is to have a cleared colleague or the Facility Security Officer sign for the package on their behalf. This keeps control of the material in the hands of someone authorized to receive it and preserves the proper chain of custody. Signing for the package oneself would breach clearance rules and risk exposure of sensitive information. Refusing the package or notifying the sender doesn’t address the requirement for a cleared signer, and would only delay the process.
