Records
Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (ODNI)
ACTION: Notice of a revised system of
records.
AGENCY:
ODNI provides notice of a
revision to a Privacy Act system of
records at the National
Counterintelligence and Security Center
(NCSC). This notice revises the system
of records titled Continuous Evaluation
Records, also identified as ODNI/NCSC–
003. This notice is necessary to inform
the public of revisions to the notice
summary, system purpose, categories of
individuals covered, and supplementary
information about the records that the
agency maintains. This revised notice to
the Continuous Evaluation (CE) Records
system adds one-time record checks of
employment applicants in addition to
the previous uses of CE for enrolled
individuals.

CE is a personnel security
investigative process used to review the
continued eligibility of individuals who
have been determined eligible for access
to classified information or to hold a
sensitive position. Individuals subject to
CE include current Executive Branch
employees, detailees, contractors, and
other sponsored individuals who are
cleared for access to classified
information or to hold a sensitive
position. The Departments and Agencies
(D/A) that sponsor these individuals for
access to classified information or to
hold a sensitive position ‘‘enroll’’ the
individuals (enrollees) by electronically
entering their identifying information
into the CE System, an information
technology system that conducts
automated checks of security-relevant
information.
All D/As are required to submit their
qualifying populations for CE automated
record checks. D/As may choose to
develop a CE system of their own, or
subscribe to CE services provided by
another agency. NCSC will provide CE
services to subscribing agencies via the
ODNI CE System. The CE System
conducts automated checks of
government and commercial databases
and, based on personnel security
business rules, transmits electronic
alerts and reports to the subscribing
agency. Databases queried in the CE
process are those that contain securityrelevant information, e.g., governmentowned financial, law enforcement,
terrorism, foreign travel, and current
clearance status information. Credit
bureau records and commerciallyaggregated publically available data are
also used. On receipt of an electronic
alert or report, authorized personnel
security officials at the subscribing
agency verify that the alert or report
received pertains to the enrollee (the
subject of the electronic queries). Where
the agency verifies that the alert or
report pertains to the enrollee,
authorized personnel security officials
review the nature of the alert or report
to determine the need for further
investigation, as dictated by Federal
Investigative Standards requirements.
Information obtained through any
follow-on investigation is considered in
adjudicating the enrollee’s continued
eligibility for access to classified
information or to hold a sensitive
position.
The ODNI CE System retains the
enrollment information (personal
identifiers provided by the subscribing
agency to facilitate ongoing CE checks
for individuals who are enrolled in the
CE System. The system does not retain
the records returned from the electronic
database queries beyond the time
