(a) every Commonwealth agency, State or authority of a State for which the security clearance decision or security clearance suitability assessment is relevant; and
(b) any tribunal, person or authority having power to hear appeals from, or to review, a decision with respect to the security clearance decision or security clearance suitability assessment;
