the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
Defense shall, acting through the Director of Cost As-
sessment and Program Evaluation and in consulta-
351 
tion with the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget, submit to the appropriate committees of 
Congress a report setting forth a comprehensive anal-
ysis comparing the quality, cost, and timeliness of 
personnel security clearance investigations and re-
investigations for employees and contractor personnel 
of the Department of Defense that are conducted by 
the Office of Personnel Management with the quality, 
cost, and timeliness of personnel security clearance 
investigations and reinvestigations for such personnel 
that are conducted by components of the Department

(2) ELEMENTS
OF
ANALYSIS.—The analysis 
under paragraph (1) shall do the following: 
(A) Determine and compare, for each of the 
Office of Personnel Management and the compo-
nents of the Department that conduct personnel 
security investigations as of the date of the anal-
ysis, the quality, cost, and timeliness associated 
with personnel security investigations and re-
investigations of each type and level of clearance,

vide to the appropriate committees of Congress a 
strategy to modernize all aspects of personnel security 
for the Department of Defense with the objectives of 
improving quality, providing for continuous moni-
toring, decreasing unauthorized disclosures of classi-
353 
fied information, lowering costs, increasing effi-
ciencies, and enabling and encouraging reciprocity.

354 
(4) ELEMENTS.—In developing the strategy re-
quired by paragraph (1), the Secretary and the Direc-
tors shall address issues including but not limited to 
the following: 
(A) Elimination of manual or inefficient 
processes in investigations and reinvestigations 
for personnel security, wherever practicable, and 
automating and integrating the elements of the 
investigation and adjudication processes, includ-
ing in the following: 
(i) The clearance application process. 
(ii) Investigation case management. 
(iii) Adjudication case management. 
(iv) Investigation methods for the col-
lection, analysis, storage, retrieval, and 
transfer of data and records from investiga-
tive sources and between any case manage-
ment systems. 
(v) Records management for hiring 
and clearance decisions. 
(B) Elimination or reduction, where pos-
sible, of the use of databases and information 
sources that cannot be accessed and processed 
automatically electronically, or modification of 
such databases and information sources, if ap-
355 
propriate and cost-effective, to enable electronic 
access and processing. 
(C) Access and analysis of government, pub-
lically available, and commercial data sources, 
including social media, that provide independent 
information pertinent to adjudication guidelines 
and termination standards to improve quality 
and timeliness, and reduce costs, of investiga-
tions and reinvestigations. 
(D) Use of government-developed and com-
mercial technology for continuous monitoring 
and evaluation of government and commercial 
data sources that can identify and flag informa-
tion pertinent to hiring and clearance deter-
minations. 
(E) Standardization of forms used for rou-
tine reporting required of cleared personnel (such 
as travel, foreign contacts, and financial disclo-
sures) and use of continuous monitoring tech-
nology to access databases containing such re-
portable information to independently obtain 
and analyze reportable data and events. 
(F) Establishment of an authoritative cen-
tral repository of personnel security information 
that is accessible electronically at multiple levels
356 
of classification and eliminates technical barriers 
to rapid access to information necessary for eli-
gibility determinations and reciprocal recogni-
tion thereof, including the ability to monitor the 
status of an individual and any events related to 
the continued eligibility of such individual for 
employment or clearance during intervals be-
tween investigations. 
(G) Elimination or reduction of the scope 
of, or alteration of the schedule for, periodic re-
investigations of cleared personnel, when such 
action is appropriate in light of the information 
provided by continuous monitoring or evaluation 
technology. 
(H) Electronic integration of personnel se-
curity processes and information systems with 
insider threat detection and monitoring systems, 
and pertinent law enforcement, counterintel-
ligence and intelligence information, for threat 
detection and correlation, including those proc-
esses and systems operated by components of the 
Department of Defense for purposes of local secu-
rity, workforce management, or other related 
purposes.
357 
(5) RISK-BASED MONITORING.—The strategy re-
quired by paragraph (1) shall— 
(A) include the development of a risk-based 
approach to monitoring and reinvestigation that 
prioritizes which cleared individuals shall be 
subject to frequent reinvestigations and random 
checks, such as the personnel with the broadest 
access to classified information or with access to 
the most sensitive classified information, includ-
ing information technology specialists or other 
individuals with such broad access commonly 
known as ‘‘super users’’; 
(B) ensure that if the system of continuous 
monitoring for all cleared individuals described 
in paragraph (4)(D) is implemented in phases, 
such system shall be implemented on a priority 
basis for the individuals prioritized under sub-
paragraph (A); and 
(C) ensure that the activities of individuals 
prioritized under subparagraph (A) shall be 
monitored especially closely.

vestigative Standards are relevant, complete, and 
sufficient for guiding agencies and individual 
investigators as they conduct their security clear-
ance background investigations. 
(C) The processes agencies have imple-
mented to ensure quality in the security clear-
ance background investigation process.
359 
(D) The extent to which agencies have devel-
oped and implemented outcome-focused perform-
ance measures to track the quality of security 
clearance investigations and any insights from 
these measures.

of the United States consisting of B–1B, B–2, and B– 
52 bomber aircraft must remain a high budget pri-
ority in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of
