The panel's report submitted six findings and determinations, which included:

- the contractor maintain a log of all personnel permitted access during off-shift and nonwork periods; and

- the contractor control and log command module ingress and egress.

Determination

The procedures established in the Apollo Preflight Operations Procedures were not followed for spacecraft 012 in that
