What are the investigation/background check requirements to be eligible for the new badge?
At a minimum, everyone seeking access must complete the appropriate forms to be submitted to the Office of Personnel Management for a National Agency Check and Inquiries (NACI) investigation. Federal agencies continue to be individually responsible for establishing personnel identity and risk designations, in accordance with Executive Order 10450, and 5 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 731. Depending on the access or clearance level the individual requires, as determined by the Agency, the level of background investigation may vary. Moderate or high-risk positions are deemed “Public Trust” positions, and require a more extensive background investigation of candidates, including medical and financial information.
