**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.
