OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), 
National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC).

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: ODNI provides notice of a modified Privacy Act system of 
records at the NCSC. This notice modifies the system of records ODNI/
NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records. This modified notice is 
necessary to inform the public of revisions to the notice summary; 
supplementary information; system management; authority for maintenance 
of the system; purpose of the system; categories of individuals covered 
by the system; categories of records in the system; record source 
categories; routine uses of records maintained in the system; policies 
and

[[Page 54078]]

practices for storage of records; policies and practices for retrieval 
of records; and policies and practices for retention and disposal of 
records. This modified notice for ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation 
Records, incorporates requirements established by Executive Order 
(E.O.) 13467, as amended. These updates to this notice complement 
efforts of Continuous Vetting (CV), a program under the E.O. which 
entails reviewing the background of a covered individual at any time to 
determine whether that individual continues to meet applicable 
requirements. Continuous Evaluation (CE) was developed to reduce risk 
by using automated records checks to generate alerts of potential 
security concerns on an individual between periodic reinvestigations. 
CV is a more robust approach that builds upon the automated records 
checks of CE and adds other agency-specific information and 
investigative activity as necessary.

DATES: Comments on this proposed modified system of records must be 
submitted by July 25, 2024. This modified System of Records Notice will 
go into effect thirty days after the date of publication in the Federal 
Register, unless changes are required as a result of public comment, 
per OMB A-108, Section 6(e).

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Updates to ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous 
Evaluation Records, include (1) expanding the population of individuals 
covered by the system to encompass all covered individuals as defined 
by E.O. 13467, as amended; (2) adding personnel vetting surveys as a 
data source for enrollees; and (3) adding a new routine use for 
disclosure of records for oversight purposes to the Suitability and 
Credentialing Executive Agent programs, or successor programs, in the 
Office of Personnel Management. This SORN also includes select routine 
uses published in the ODNI rule implementing the Privacy Act subpart C 
of ODNI's Privacy Act Regulation published at 32 CFR part 1701 (73 FR 
16531, 16541).
    E.O. 13467, as amended, requires all covered individuals to be 
subject to CV under standards as determined by the Security Executive 
Agent and the Suitability and Credentialing Executive Agent. The E.O. 
also requires alignment using consistent standards, to the extent 
possible, of executive branch vetting policies and procedures relating 
to (1) eligibility for access to classified information; (2) 
eligibility to hold a sensitive position; (3) suitability; (4) 
contractor or Federal employee fitness; and (5) authorization to be 
issued a Federal credential for access to federally controlled 
facilities and information systems.
    Previously, the categories of individuals covered by the system 
only included executive branch employees, detailees, contractors, and 
other sponsored individuals determined to be eligible for access to 
classified information; eligible to hold a sensitive position; and 
applicants seeking employment with the executive branch in a position 
that requires a determination of eligibility for access to classified 
information or to hold a sensitive position. Individuals who held or 
applied for non-sensitive positions in the executive branch completed 
an initial vetting process and were subject to periodic 
reinvestigations, where applicable, but did not undergo CV. With the 
issuance of this SORN revision, the category of individuals covered by 
ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records, has been expanded to 
include individuals who hold or who applied for non-sensitive positions 
in the executive branch.
    E.O. 13467, as amended, defines covered individual as ``a person 
who performs, or who seeks to perform, work for or on behalf of the 
executive branch (e.g., Federal employee, military member, or 
contractor), or otherwise interacts with the executive branch such that 
the individual must undergo vetting, but does not include: (i) the 
President or (except to the extent otherwise directed by the President) 
employees of the President under section 105 or 107 of Title 3, United 
States Code; or (ii) the Vice President or (except to the extent 
otherwise directed by the Vice President) employees of the Vice 
President under section 106 of Title 3 or annual legislative branch 
appropriations acts.'' The inclusion of all covered individuals, as 
defined by E.O. 13467, as amended, in the category of individuals 
covered by ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records, permits the 
use of automated records checks available through the system to fulfill 
the requirements of CV established by the Federal Personnel Vetting 
Investigative Standards. Additionally, the inclusion of all covered 
individuals, as defined by E.O. 13467, as amended, in the category of 
individuals covered by the system enhances national security, promotes 
greater mobility amongst the trusted workforce, and ensures department 
and agency (D/A) compliance with applicable laws and vetting-related 
policies.
    ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records, retains the covered 
individual's enrollment information, which includes personal 
identifiers provided by the subscribing agency to facilitate ongoing 
automated records checks for enrollees, as well as other personnel 
vetting status information, previous investigative products, and 
records documenting suitability evaluations and decisions. This revised 
notice adds as a records source personnel vetting surveys required by 
the Federal Personnel Vetting Investigative Standards. Applicants do 
not complete a personnel vetting survey. Personnel vetting surveys are 
periodic information collections from the covered individual and his/
her supervisor(s) to inform ongoing consideration of potential risk, 
promote timely detection of behaviors of concern, and address potential 
issues or provide assistance before risks escalate. Employment 
applicants receive one-time checks of security-relevant information, 
are not enrolled for ongoing record checks, and personal identifiers 
and records returned for applicants are retained in the system only for 
the duration of their initial vetting. Records of applicants who are 
not hired will not be kept beyond the initial vetting process. Records 
returned from checks for any enrollee will be retained in accordance 
with an approved record control schedule. Data necessary to implement 
business rules, to perform program assessments, and to satisfy auditing 
requirements will be retained. D/As using ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous 
Evaluations Records, must adhere to the principles articulated in the 
Federal Personnel Vetting Guidelines, the Federal Personnel Vetting 
Investigative Standards, subsequent implementation guidance, Security 
Executive Agent Issuances (when applicable), and other policy 
issuances. The modified routine uses will be effective 30 days after 
publication, unless they need to be changed as a result of public 
comment, per OMB A-108, Section 6(e).
    The system provides the technical capability to conduct automated 
record checks pursuant to the National

    To protect classified and sensitive personnel or law enforcement 
information covered by this system of records, the Director of National 
Intelligence (DNI) has exempted this system from certain requirements 
of the Privacy Act where necessary, as permitted by law. By previously 
established rule, the DNI may exempt records contained in this system 
of records from the requirements of subsections (c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), 
(d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), (I), and (f) of the Privacy Act 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1), (k)(2) and (k)(5). Additionally, the 
DNI may exercise derivative exemption authority by preserving the 
exempt status of records received from providing agencies when the 
reason for exemption remains valid. See 32 CFR part 1701.20(a)(2) (73 
FR 16531, 16537).

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    The classification of records in this system ranges from 
UNCLASSIFIED to TOP SECRET.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), National 
Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC), Washington, DC 20511.

SYSTEM MANAGER(S):
    Assistant Director, Mission Capabilities Directorate, ODNI/NCSC, 
Washington, DC 20511.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, 
Public Law 108-458, 118 Stat. 3638; the National Security Act of 1947, 
50 U.S.C. 3023 et seq., as amended; the Counterintelligence Enhancement 
Act of 2002, 50 U.S.C. 3382, as amended; 5 U.S.C. 1104; 5 U.S.C. 3301; 
5 U.S.C 11001; The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2018, Section 925, Public Law 115-91; Executive Order 10577, as 
amended; Executive Order 12333, as amended; Executive Order 12968, as 
amended; Executive Order 13467, as amended; Executive Order 13549; 
Executive Order 13764; Executive Order 13488, as amended; and Executive 
Order 13869.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
    Records in this system of records are collected for the purpose of 
performing initial vetting of applicants and continuous vetting of 
enrollees. Vetting is accomplished by electronically comparing an 
individual's identifying data against U.S. Government databases (e.g., 
financial, law enforcement, terrorism, foreign travel, and clearance 
status) and commercial public records databases (e.g., civil, criminal, 
and tax information), as well as reviewing credit bureau data (e.g., 
credit reports) and background investigative records collected as part 
of personnel vetting (e.g., personnel vetting surveys). These 
comparisons and reviews serve to identify personnel vetting-relevant 
conduct, practices, activities, or incidents that personnel vetting 
officials use to evaluate an employment applicant's initial and an 
enrollee's continued eligibility to perform work for or on behalf of 
the executive branch. Evaluations by personnel vetting officials 
include determinations of suitability for Federal government 
employment; eligibility for logical and physical access to facilities 
and networks; eligibility for access to classified information; 
eligibility to hold a sensitive position; and fitness to perform work 
for or on behalf of the Federal government as a contractor employee.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Individuals covered by the system include ``covered individuals'' 
as defined in E.O. 13467, as amended. A covered individual is ``a 
person who performs, or who seeks to perform, work for or on behalf of 
the executive branch (e.g., Federal employee, military member, or 
contractor), or otherwise interacts with the executive branch such that 
the individual must undergo vetting, but does not include: (i) the 
President or (except to the extent otherwise directed by the President) 
employees of the President under section 105 or 107 of Title 3, United 
States Code; or (ii) the Vice President or (except to the extent 
otherwise directed by the Vice President) employees of the Vice 
President under section 106 of Title 3 or annual legislative branch 
appropriations acts.''

from or about the automated record checks conducted against current 
clearance status information and against financial, law enforcement, 
credit, terrorism, foreign travel, and commercial databases; and (iii) 
personnel vetting surveys as required by CV.

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    Record source categories include department and agency enrollment 
information about covered individuals under E.O. 13467, as amended; 
government-owned databases; credit and commercial entities; and 
providers of aggregated public source data.
