Attachment to FIN 97-06

 

STANDARD FORM 86 AND E.O. 12968 (ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION)

 

The Standard Form 86, dated September 1995, will continue to be used when submitting requests for access investigations. Some questions on the current SF 86 specify a time frame of seven years, which is not consistent with E.O. 12968. Until a revised form is in place, interim instructions are needed for some of the items on the current SF 86 when an SSBI is required. The following questions should be answered with a ten (10) year time frame for the case to meet the new standard:

Number Question
9 Where You Have Lived
10 Where You Went to School
11 Your Employment Activities
22 Your Employment Record
23 (e & f) Your Police Record
29 Public Record Civil Court Actions

Agency questions may be directed to OPM-IS, Oversight and Technical Assistance Division, 202-606-1042, or OPM-FIPC, Program Services Office, 724-794-5612. Applicants/subjects with questions should contact their agency security office.
