The Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of lnvestigation (FBI), Security Division (SecD), will be submitting the following emergency information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The primary factor contributing to the need for this form is time. OPM's own research indicates that the average time needed to fill out an SF-86 is 150 minutes. This average is largely based on young military applicants who have limited work and travel experiences. When dealing with high ranking business leaders they will be older, have more life and work experiences, taking more time to locate more details and information. Further, it takes a minimum of 120 days to process the full background. This does not include the time to transmit the form and any other administrative functions associated with the SF-86 process. In emergencies the information needs to be collected and processed quickly in order to facilitate the sharing of urgent and potentially time sensitive information. This collocation requires emergency approval because waiting an additional 90 days for comment period will further extend the risk of attack or other emergency where information needs to be shared and cannot due to the long process currently in place to clear un-cleared personnel. Once approves, the FBI will have the capability to issue temporary clearances to individuals with the immediate need. Emergency approval is requested by May 15, 2015. The proposed information collection is published to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
