The regulations establish the requirements for when investigations must be conducted for appointments to the civil service, to work as a contractor employee, or to work in a Department of Defense Non appropriated Fund position. This final rule establishes the requirement for enrolling these populations, including low, moderate, and high risk, into continuous vetting. Furthermore, this rule provides adjudicative criteria for assessing suitability and fitness for much of the civil service. Nothing in this rule shall be read in derogation of any individual's rights under Title VII of the U.S. Code.
