06b Update Attachment 30 JAN to ISP (4)

Further explanation and examples of how the upcoming survey will work are
described below for DSS Industrial Security Personnel.

Survey Summary – The Survey will be broken in to three sections:
Section A:
• This first section will provide the user with the opportunity to review and confirm the
Facility Security Officer (FSO) name, CAGE Code of the facility, and FSO email
address as shown in DSS records. These records will be pulled by query of ISFD on
or about February 19, 2008.
• PSC plans to run a daily report during the Survey’s deployment for those FSOs who
indicates that the FSO or his/her email address are incorrect when responding to
Section A. PSC will, in turn, then notify the applicable IS Rep and/or Field Office
Chief of a reported FSO change and ask their assistance in determining whether a
survey email invitation should be sent to the newly identified FSO.
• As a reminder, efforts taken now to make sure facilities’ information is up-to-date in
ISFD will minimize the coordination workload impact on the Reps and Field Office
Chiefs from the PSC-ISP survey team to correct FSO email addresses.
• The FSO will also be able to list if they are submitting for a single CAGE Code or if
he/she is providing a consolidated submission for multiple CAGE codes. If DSS
receives an email notice of a consolidated submission by March 5, 2008 to
[email protected], only the FSO sending the consolidated submission will
receive the email invitation (see survey changes above).
Section B:
• In Section B, the FSO will provide information on what methodology or data source
is used to estimate the PSI projections, input the PSI requirements projections for
FY09-11, and then input trustworthiness projections for FY09-11.
• A key difference between this Survey and previous years is that the user will be
providing PSI requirements projections for each DoD component and/or each NonDoD component (as per NISPOM paragraph 1-103b) that is requiring the PSI for
clearance.
o To do this, the user will be selecting from lists of the DoD Components or
Non-DoD Components. For each Component selected, the FSO will be
directed to separate tables to provide PSI projections for fiscal years 20092011.
o For each fiscal year the FSO will be asked to provide numbers for SingleScope Background Investigation (Top Secret and Secret), SSBI Periodic Reinvestigation, NACLC (Secret), NACLC (Secret) Periodic Re-investigation,
NACLC (Confidential), and NACLC (Confidential) Periodic Re-investigation.
Section C Description:
This final section of the Survey will provide the user with an opportunity to input
general comments or comments for a specific fiscal year. Classified information is not to
be submitted via these comments.
