Description: The Critical
Infrastructure/Key Resources Private
Sector Clearance Program (CIKR PSCP)
is designed to provide private sector
individuals clearances so that they can
be partners with DHS. These partners
are subject matter experts within
specific industries and sectors. DHS has
created this program to facilitate
granting clearances to appropriate
individuals. The CIKR PSCP requires
individuals to complete a clearance
request form that initiates the clearance
process. Individuals are selected and
then invited to become partners with
DHS for a specific project or task. DHS
Sector Specialists or Protective Security
Advisors email the form to the
individual who emails back the
completed form. The data from these
forms make up the Master Roster. The
Name, Social Security Number, Date of
Birth and Place of Birth are entered into
e-QIP—Office of Personnel
Management’s secure portal for
investigation processing. Once the data
is entered in e-QIP by the DHS Office of
Security, Personnel Security Division
then the applicant can complete the rest
of the e-QIP security questionnaire. The
CIKR PSCP Master Roster contains all
the information found on the clearance
request form in addition to their
clearance info (date granted, level, date
non-disclosure agreements signed.) The
Administrator of the Master Roster
maintains the information so as to track
clearance processing and investigation
information (date of investigation) and
to have the most current contact
information for the participants from
each sector.
