SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The National Park Service (NPS), as delegated by the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM), is authorized to request information to 
determine suitability of applicants for Federal employment and non-
Federal personnel proposed to work under contractor and/or agreement 
who require access to NPS property and/or receive a DOIAccess (personal 
identity verification (PIV)) badges. The conduct of suitability 
determinations is authorizations under Executive Orders 10450, 
``Security requirements for Government employment'' and 10577, 
``Amending the Civil Service Rules and authorizing a new appointment 
system for the competitive service''; sections 3301, 3302, and 9101 of 
Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.); and parts 2, 5, 731, and 736 of 
Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and Federal information 
processing standards. Section 1104 of Title 5 allows OPM to delegate 
personnel management functions to other Federal agencies.
    In line with new regulations mandated by the OPM and the Department 
of the Interior (DOI), the NPS Personnel Security Branch is utilizing 
the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (E-QIP) 
System. As a result, electronic submission of the Standard Form 85, for 
suitability background investigations (NACI), or the Standard Form 85P, 
for Public Trust, is now required. The DOI and NPS requires all 
applicants for Federal employment and non-Federal personnel 
(contractors, partners, etc.) requiring access to NPS property and/or 
receive a DOIAccess PIV badge to be processed for a suitability 
background investigation, in accordance with Executive Order 10450 and 
the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12). The information 
is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act, and we will maintain 
the

[[Page 74478]]

information in a secure system of records (Interior-DOI-45, ``Personnel 
Security Files--Interior'', 47 FR 11036).
    The National Park Service will utilize Form 10-152, ``Background 
Clearance Initiation Request'' to create E-QIP accounts necessary to 
initiate background investigations for all individuals requiring access 
to NPS property and/or receive a DOIAccess (personal identity 
verification (PIV)) badge. The OPM and DOI programs initiating 
background investigations have published notices in the Federal 
Register describing the systems of records (SORN) in which the records 
will be maintained.
    The information collected via NPS Form 10-152 includes detailed 
information for each proposed candidate requiring a background 
clearance, to include:
     Full legal name;
     Social Security Number;
     Date and place of birth;
     Country of citizenship;
     Contact phone number;
     Email address;
     Home address;
     Whether proposed candidate has ever been investigated by 
another Federal agency; and
     If the candidate was investigated by another Federal 
agency, they must provide the name of that agency and the date of the 
investigation.
    Additional information required on Form 10-152 for non-Federal 
personnel includes:
     Name of proposed candidate's company;
     Contract/agreement number; and
     Contract/agreement periods of performance.
