Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 731 (suitability), Executive Order (E.O.) 13764 (contractor fitness), E.O. 12968/SEAD 4 (classified access), and Homeland Security Directive-12 (badging) requires all federal and contractor employees to undergo a background investigation when seeking employment with an agency. The NCUA Personnel Security Processing Forms (Personnel Security Data Form-Contractor, Personnel Security Data Form-Employee and the Authorization for Release of Credit Information) are used to collect information necessary for applying the government-established suitability/fitness criteria on employees before they can begin employment with or perform contractual services for the NCUA. It may be also required should a contract employee be moved to a new contract work. The background investigation process culminates in an adjudicative determination on whether or not these employees are fit to perform services on behalf of the agency.

Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 200.
