SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

TRICARE Management Activity 

(TMA), Office of Administration, 

Personnel Security Division (PSD) 

routinely obtains and records personnel 

security background investigation 

information as a basis for determining 

suitability for Homeland Security Policy 

Directive (HSPD)–12 credentialing of 

TMA contractor personnel that require 

access to TMA/DoD Information 

Technology (IT) resources and network 

systems. TMA’s HSPD–12 credential is 

known as the Common Access Card 

(CAC). The PSD makes interim 

determinations for issuance of the CAC 

for TMA contractor personnel who 

currently do not have the required 

background investigation, but do have a 

favorable Federal Bureau of 

Investigations (FBI) fingerprint report 

and/or favorable Advance National 

Agency Check (NAC), and a scheduled 

background investigation with the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM). 

TMA PSD routinely maintains a record 

of background investigations requested 

from the Office of Personnel 

Management, Electronic Questionnaires 

for Investigations Processing (eQIP) 

system, and security clearance status of 

TMA contractors who require an 

approval before having access to TMA/ 

DoD Information Technology (IT) 

resources and network systems or to 

sensitive data. The electronic 

information collection system will 

reduce the level of work and time 

involved for determining the status of 

returning contractors and approving 

CAC renewals.
