The proposed optional form INV 100 use
is to standardize collection of data elements specific to FOIA and
Privacy Act record requests submitted to OPM Federal Investigative
Services (FIS). Standardization of the access process will increase
the volume of perfected requests received and strike an appropriate
balance between the burden to the public in submitting a request
and FIS-FOI/PA being able to verify the identity of the requester
thereby ensuring Privacy Act Protected records are not
inappropriately released to third parties.
