General Description of Collection:
The Peace Corps uses the Intelligence Background Questionnaire to determine what kind of intelligence connection an applicant or an applicant's relative might have and how close an applicant and a relative with an intelligence connection are. This form is a supplement to the Intelligence Background Questionnaire (OMB Control Number 0420-0551) which requires additional information to determine whether the intelligence connection is substantial enough to prevent the person from being employed at the Peace Corps or being a Volunteer for the Peace Corps permanently or for a set period of time from the last intelligence connection. If an applicant disagrees with the Peace Corps' determination, he or she may appeal the determination to the Director of the Peace Corps.
