Introduction
The following guidelines are established for all individuals who require access to
classified information. They apply to persons being considered for
initial or continued eligibility,
and are used by government departments and agencies in all final
clearance determinations.
Investigative Process
The determination of whether the granting or continuing
of eligibility for a security clearance is based upon careful consideration
of the following:
When information of security concern becomes known about a person
who is currently seeking security clearance, the investigator will
consider several factors in determining if clearance should be granted
or denied. These factors include:
The person voluntarily reported the adverse information;
Was truthful and complete in responding to questions;
Sought assistance and followed professional guidance, where appropriate;
Resolved or appears likely to favorably resolve the security concern;
Has demonstrated positive changes in behavior and employment;
Should have his or her access temporarily suspended pending final adjudication of the information.
After evaluating information of security concern, the investigator decides whether
security clearance will be granted or denied. It may be appropriate
to recommend approval with a warning that future incidents of a similar
nature may result in revocation of access.
