The National Park Service (NPS), as
delegated by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), is
authorized to request information to determine suitability of
applicants for Federal employment and non-Federal personnel
proposed to work under contractor and/or agreement who require
access to NPS property and/or receive a DOIAccess (personal
identity verification (PIV)) badges. The conduct of suitability
determinations is authorizations under Executive Orders 10450,
“Security requirements for Government employment” and 10577,
“Amending the Civil Service Rules and authorizing a new appointment
system for the competitive service”; sections 3301, 3302, and 9101
of Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.); and parts 2, 5, 731, and
736 of Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and Federal
information processing standards. Section 1104 of Title 5 allows
OPM to delegate personnel management functions to other Federal
agencies. In line with new regulations mandated by the OPM and the
Department of the Interior (DOI), the NPS Personnel Security Branch
is utilizing the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations
Processing (E-QIP) System. As a result, electronic submission of
the Standard Form 85, for suitability background investigations
(NACI), or the Standard Form 85P, for Public Trust, is now
required. The DOI and NPS requires all applicants for Federal
employment and non-Federal personnel (contractors, partners, etc.)
requiring access to NPS property and/or receive a DOIAccess PIV
badge to be processed for a suitability background investigation,
in accordance with Executive Order 10450 and the Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD-12). The National Park Service will
utilize Form 10-152, “Background Initiation Request” to create
E-QIP accounts necessary to initiate background investigations for
all individuals requiring access to NPS property and/or receive a
DOIAccess (personal identity verification (PIV)) badge. Form 10-152
will be completed by applicants for Federal employment and
non-federal personnel, including Federal contractors and
individuals otherwise not directly employed by the Federal
Government but who perform work for or on behalf of the Federal
Government.
