## OPM e-GovernmentOverview

- OPM e-Clearance
- Briefing
- October 18, 2002

## Supporting the President’s Management Agenda

- 	“E-Government supports President Bush’s Management and Performance Plan – *Expanded  Electronic Government*.  As articulated by the Office of Management and Budget, “the vision of e-Government is an order of magnitude improvement in the federal government’s value to citizens.”
- 	This calls for:
- “An active, but limited" Government: one that empowers States, cities, and citizens to make decisions
- Ensures results through accountability; and promotes innovation through competition
- Federal Government to adapt to a rapidly changing world, where its primary objectives must be a Government that is Citizen-Centered, Results-Oriented, and Market-Based

## OPM e-Government Vision

- A suite of integrated HR applications built on the five OPM e-Gov initiatives (and to include RSM) which will streamline and improve processes for moving Federal employees through their employment lifecycle.

**The Employee Life Cycle**

## Recruitment One-Stop Vision

- Seamless, one-stop recruiting
- for Federal jobs

## e-Training Vision

- To create a premier e-Training environment that
- supports development of the Federal workforce
- through simplified and one-stop access to
- high quality e-Training products and services,
- and, thus, advances the accomplishment of
- agency missions

## EHRI VISION

- 	Provide:
- Timely access to human resources data   for a variety of stakeholders.
- Accurate, up-to-date data on all Federal employees - active and separated

## e-Payroll Vision

- 	Simple, easy to use, cost effective, standardized, integrated HR/Payroll services to support the mission and employees of the Federal government.

## e-ClearanceVision

- 	Improved processing of individuals who must have an investigation leading to a security clearance decision.

## e-ClearanceGoals

- Each agency will be more accountable for maintaining and providing quality data and processes.
- Duplicative investigative efforts will be reduced through reciprocity and access to existing information.

## e-ClearanceGoals

- Contractor and government employee efficiency, recruitment and retention will improve because wait time for clearances will be reduced.
- Reduce the burden on and improve opportunities for federal employment and contractors.

## e-ClearanceObjectives

- Will create a common, secure and standardized source of investigative information to support employee assignment decisions.  80% to be completed by January 31, 2003.
- Will connect OPM’s Security/Suitability Investigations Index (SII) with DoD’s Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) thus allowing, for the first time, one search to locate investigative and clearance information located in either the SII or JPAS.

## e-ClearanceObjectives

- Will cause civilian agencies to “load” their clearance information into the SII in order to centralize the data.
- Will allow individuals to complete and submit forms electronically to security personnel and for security personnel to submit electronically to their investigative supplier which will reduce the time to fill out forms from hours to minutes and overall processing time substantially.

## e-ClearanceObjectives

- Reducing future paper investigations records to electronic versions and make them universally accessible to authorized users on a real time basis.
- Will ensure all e-Clearance systems have appropriate privacy and security protections necessary to assure that the data is adequately protected.
