NED Release 4.1.2 Planned for December 15,
2017
The NED team plans to add two new automatic e-mail notifications to its most recent NED release (4.1).
The other e-mail will notify a badge holder and his/her servicing AO of an upcoming AAWUD (i.e., Alien Authorized Work Until Date).
The Division of International Services (DIS) needs to review a non-lawful permanent resident (LPR), foreign national's work authorization and immigration documents in order to enter his or her "Alien Authorized Work Until Date" (AAWUD) in NED.
Note: NED immediately initiates the revocation of a foreign national's ID badge the day after the AAWUD. Therefore, if a non-LPR, foreign national's original AAWUD is extended, the individual should visit DIS with the appropriate document(s) to have DIS update the AAWUD in the NED portal, and alert their AO as well.
Release of NED v.4.1.2 is planned for December 15, 2017.

FAQs
Q.
How do I check the badge status of one of our contractors who is going through the badge issuance process?
A.
(from the IT Service Desk Knowledge Base)
As an AO or AT (or other NED Portal user), it is important to know how to monitor, interpret and act on status messages that appear under
View Badge History in the NED Portal. Understanding these messages help move an individual through the sponsorship, enrollment and badging process and make sure an applicant receives his or her ID badge in a timely manner.
To access 'View Badge History'
There are six status messages that require action, either by the applicant, DPSAC or the AO before the next step in the badging process can begin. These are the 'Waiting for' messages displayed in sequential order under
View Badge History.
Step 1. Access the NED Portal:
https://nedportal.nih.gov.
Select the View Badge History menu option under the View Record/Status section.
Badge Status Messages in NED
Each bulleted link will provide additional details for the NED Portal user.
If you need additional assistance for a status check, please send inquiries to the DPSAC general help desk at: [email protected].
Q. When an ALT card expires, are they referring to its certificates?
A. You are correct in that it is referring to the certificates on the ALT
card.
Q. It is my understanding that 5601 Fishers Lane has an Issuance Work
Station (IWS) and can therefore renew expired certificates. Is this
correct?
A. Yes. The IWS at 5601 Fishers Lane is capable of renewing expiring
and expired certificates.

Helpful Tips
Do not lend your ID badge to anyone! -- lending out your ID badge is prohibited. The issuance of ID badges is based on strict identity proofing and the determination of one's suitability for a specific position classification. To do so is a criminal offense!
ALT cards -- should be returned to the
IC ALT card coordinator
-
NOT to the Division of Personnel Security and Access Control (DPSAC).
All Building 31 badging services -- Enrollment, Badge Issuance and Customer Service -- offered at a single, convenient location in 1B03.

Administrative Officers (AOs) who wish to obtain sponsor authority -- must complete the sponsor training (see:
http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/ser/dpsac/Training/Pages/administrators.aspx) and e-mail a copy of your signed certificate to Richie Taffet at
[email protected] or to Alex Salah at
[email protected]. Upon receipt of the certificate, Mr. Taffet or Mr. Salah will authorize the AO as a Sponsor.
Note: ONLY individuals with an Administrative Officer role in NED are eligible to be HHS ID Badge/PIV Card Sponsors.
ICs that want to add Lifecycle Work Station (LWS) operators to the approved roster -- send a written request to
[email protected]. Your request should include:
- the new operator's name
- his/her Institute or Center (IC)
- his/her NED number
- the operator's e-mail address, building/room and phone number
- the hours of operation of the Lifecycle Work Station
Once ORS Personnel Security has approved the request, it will forward the name(s) to
[email protected] to complete the approval process, add the name(s) to the LWS operator roster, and inform the IC that the individual is now approved to operate the LWS.
Need to make changes to the LWS operator directories? -- drop an e-mail to Lanny Newman,
[email protected], and let him know what needs changing (e.g., adding new operators or LWS locations, removing operators, etc.). Remember, before a new operator can be added to the LWS directory, s/he must first be approved (see preceding Helpful Tip).
If an LWS is not available in your IC or your immediate area, and you work in the greater Bethesda or Rockville area -- please call 301-402-9755 to schedule an appointment with DPSAC, located in Building 31, Room 1B03 or in Building 10, South Lobby, Room 1C52.
If you work outside the Bethesda/Rockville area, contact your local badge issuance office. You can find contact information for all badge issuance offices at:
http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/ser/dpsac/Pages/contactinfo.aspx.
Know someone who should be reading DPSAC News? -- have the person contact Lanny Newman,
[email protected], and ask to be put on the mailing list.
