Partnerships between the US Government
and the Private Sector at times necessitate the sharing of
classified information. The Critical Infrastructure/Key Resources
Sector Clearance Program facilitates this sharing by sponsoring
security clearances for certain members of each sector based on
either their membership on a Sector Coordinating Council
(SCC)/association or their job. In order to begin this process,
their employment information as well as some Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) is collected in order for the
applicant to be approved to participate in the clearance program.
Their association/SCC membership or employment information is
reviewed for approval and their PII is used by the DHS Office of
Security Personnel Security Division to input into e-QIP.
