SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID is 

undertaking a review of all its system of 

records notices to ensure that it 

maintains complete, accurate, timely, 

and relevant records. As a result of this 

effort, USAID is proposing to revise its 

‘‘Personnel Security and Suitability 

Investigations Records’’ system of 

records notice. 

The ‘‘Personal Security and 

Suitability Investigations Records’’ are 

maintained by the USAID Office of 

Security (SEC). SEC has been charged 

with providing security services to 

protect USAID personnel and facilities, 

safeguarding national security 

information, and promoting and 

preserving personal integrity. SEC 

receives investigative authority from the 

Director of National Intelligence and the 

Office of Personnel Management to 

conduct personnel security 

investigations for USAID and all other 

Federal Agencies/Departments 

permitted under the delegation. The 

revision updates points of contact and 

address information, and updates the 

system locations.
