FOR BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden to
the Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, at whs.mc-alex.esd.mbx.dd-dod-information-collections@mail.mil. Respondents
should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authorities: 5 U.S.C. 552, 5 U.S.C. 552a, 32 CFR 310, and 32 CFR 286.
Principal Purpose(s): The purpose of the collection is to enable the DCSA – Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency – to locate applicable
records and to respond to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of 1974.
Routine Use(s): The information collected on this form will primarily be used to comply with requests for information under
5 U.S.C. § 552 and 5 U.S.C. § 552a. The information requested may be used by and disclosed to DCSA personnel, contractors, and/or shared
externally with other government agency personnel as a routine use when necessary and relevant to assist in activities related to the processing of
your Freedom of Information Act and/or Privacy Act request. Additionally, DCSA may use the information as necessary and authorized by the routine
uses in the system of records notice associated with this form:
V1-01: Privacy and Freedom of Information Request Records. A complete list of the routine uses and the full text of V1-01 can be found at:
https://dpcld.defense.gov/Privacy/SORNsIndex/DOD-wide-SORN-Article-View/Article/570278/v1-01/.
Disclosure: Information Regarding Disclosure of your Social Security Number (SSN) under Public Law 93-579, Section 7 (b). Solicitation of SSNs by
DCSA is authorized under the provisions of Executive Order 9397, dated November 22, 1943. Providing your social security number is voluntary. You
are asked to provide your social security number only to facilitate the identification of records relating to you. Without your social security number,
DCSA may be unable to locate records pertaining to you. The use of SSNs is necessary because of the large number of Federal employees,
contractors, civilians and military personnel who have identical names and/or birth date and whose identities can only be distinguished by their SSNs.
