SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Personnel Security System

    Needs and Uses: JPAS requires personal data collection to 
facilitate the initiation, investigation and adjudication of 
information relevant to DoD security clearances and employment 
suitability determinations for active duty military, civilian employees 
and contractors requiring such credentials. As a Personnel Security 
System it is the authoritative source for clearance information 
resulting in accesses determinations to sensitive/classified 
information and facilities. Specific uses include: Facilitation for DoD 
Adjudicators and Security Managers to obtain accurate up-to-date 
eligibility and access information on all personnel (military, civilian 
and contractor personnel) adjudicated by the DoD. The DoD Adjudicators 
and Security Managers are also able to update eligibility and access 
levels of military, civilian and contractor personnel nominated for 
access to sensitive DoD information. Security Managers working in 
private companies that contract with DoD and who need access to the 
JPAS system to update security-related information about their 
company's employees must complete DD Form 2962 to access the system. 
Completion of the form assures JPAS users have the required need-to-
know, security clearance, and requires applicants accept the 
responsibility to abide by relevant DoD regulations, laws and account 
management policies necessary to access the system.

DD Form 2962: To Grant Security Manager Applicants Access To JPAS 
System

    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 7,333.
    Number of Respondents: 44,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 44,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) is a DoD personnel 
security system and is the authoritative source for clearance 
information resulting in access determinations to sensitive/classified 
information and facilities. Collection and maintenance of personal data 
in JPAS is required to facilitate the initiation, investigation and 
adjudication of information relevant to DoD security clearances and 
employment suitability determinations for active duty military, 
civilian employees, and contractors requiring such credentials. 
Security Managers working in private companies that contract with DoD 
and who need access to the JPAS system to update security-related 
information about their company's employees must complete DD Form 2962 
to access the system. Once granted access, the Security Managers 
maintain employee personal information, submit requests for 
investigations, and submit other relevant personnel security 
information into JPAS on over 500,000 contract employees annually.
