Dear Mr. Spencer: • Lf er>

To avoid a misunderstanding of the matters outlined in our letter of March 31, 2010, the

U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) provides this supplementary information

letter to correct an error made by amicus National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) in

its March 1,2010, brief in the above-referenced appeals. Specifically, in its amicus brief,

at 13-14, NTEU asserts that "OPM has carefully limited 'national security'

investigations" to "those who have access to classified information," and that "OPM

instructs agencies to use ... the SF 85P (Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions), for

employees who are in 'sensitive' positions that do not require such access."

As we explained in our letter, OPM requires that the SF 86 (and not the SF 85P1) be used

for investigations for sensitive positions. This requirement is of long standing. See, e.g.,

55 Fed. Reg. 45809 (Oct. 31, 1990) (notice of intent to revise 5 C.F.R. Parts 731, 732,

and 736) (explaining that the SF 85P is to be used for "higher risk" positions designated

under Part 731 and "having no national security aspect," while the SF 86 continues to be

used for positions designated under Part 732 as noncritical-sensitive, critical-sensitive, or

special-sensitive because of "national security duties" and "classified information access

requirements").

1

 The SF 85P requires information related to the character and conduct of the

individual for a public trust position, while the SF 86 includes additional questions

related to national security, including contacts who may have influence over the

individual.

www.opm.gov Our mission is to ensure the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce www.usajobs.gov
Further, OPM has issued specific instruction's to agencies under 5 C.F.R. § 732,201(b),

directing the use of the SF 86 to initiate all investigations for sensitive positions, and

limiting the use of the SF 85P to investigations for nonsensitive public trust positions.

See OPM, Memorandum for Heads of Departments and Agencies, Position Designation

System at 15-16, Nov. 25, 2008, in tab A, infra, and July 2009 revision at 15-16, in tab B,

infra. This guidance most accurately reflects OPM's actual position regarding the two

forms.

In support of its point, NTEU cites 56 Fed. Reg. 18650 (Apr. 23,1991) and 59 Fed. Reg.

59260 (Nov. 16,1994). The former, however, is silent both on whether a person entering

a sensitive position who does not require access to classified information is subject to a

national security investigation, and also on the appropriate form to be used to conduct the

investigation. OPM acknowledges that the latter notice does contain ambiguous and

contradictory language, which may have led NTEU astray.2 The notice, of course, is not

a binding interpretation of 5 C.F.R. Part 732, for it is not an interpretive rule, or an

interpretive statement in a general notice of proposed rulemaking issued under 5 U.S.C. §

553(b). Rather, it is a notice of a revised information collection under the former

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,44 U.S.C.A. § 3507 note. Notwithstanding the

ambiguous language used in this notice, OPM, which is the sponsor of these forms, has

authoritatively directed that the SF 86, and not the SF 85P must be used for positions that

are designated national security sensitive.

Respectfully,

Elaine Kaplan

General Counsel

Enclosure

2

 On one hand, the notice states that the SF 86 is used "to initiate the background

investigation required to determine placement in national security positions in accordance

with ... E.O. 10450" (Le., all positions designated as noncritical-sensitive, criticalsensitive, or special-sensitive). On the other hand, the notice states that the SF 85P may

be completed by persons in "certain sensitive positions that do not require access to

classified information," and that the SF 86 is required only for "individuals needing a

security clearance for access to classified national security information." 59 Fed. Reg. at

59260, 59261. To the extent this ambiguous language may have been interpreted as

evincing a willingness, on the part of OPM, to permit an agency to use either form, that

interpretation is no longer viable in light of more recent guidance issued under the

authority of Part 732.

Federal Investigations Notice

Date: Janu&py5,2009

SUBJECT: New Position Designation System and Automated Tool

On November 25,2008, OPM's Acting Director Michael W. Hager signed a memorandum to the

heads of agencies and departments introducing a new Position Designation System (PDS) and

Automated Tool for designating National Security and Public Trust positions. The position

designation process is used to determine the appropriate level of investigation for positions

covered by title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 731 and 732. The new PDS was designed

to simplify position designation and provide an automated method for making these

determinations. The November 25,2008, memorandum and its attachments replace all prior

OPM guidance on position designation. Agencies may start using the new PDS and Automated

Tool immediately. Position designations under the previous position designation system may be

grandfathered and no re-designation using the new PDS or Automated Tool is necessary unless

agencies choose to do so.

The November 25,2008, memorandum included a list of questions and answers about the new

PDS and Automated Tool. In addition, OPM's Federal Investigative Services Division (FISD) is

working on additional resource material and updating materials agencies may use to. train their

•employees. Agencies must ensure their employees receive sufficient training to be proficient at

the task of position designation. To assist you, the November 25,2008, memorandum includes a

hardcopy version of the Automated Tool. A thorough familiarity with the various descriptions of

duties that may impact on the final position designation, as outlined in the hardcopy version of

the Automated Tool, will ensure accuracy and consistency when the Automated Tool is used.

The new PDS and the Automated Tool are For Official Use Only and have been added to OPM's

Secure Portal. Access to this information was granted to designated agency security office

contacts for further dissemination to personnel within their agencies charged with position

designation. If you are responsible for position designation, and have not yet received the new

PDS and Automated Tool, please contact your agency's security office to obtain copies.

If you need additional information or assistance, please contact FISD's Agency Liaison Group

(ALG) at (703) 603-0442.
