SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1), OPM
is providing an additional 30 days for
public comments. OPM previously
solicited comments for this collection,
with a 60-day public comment period,
at 81 FR 16224 (March 25, 2016).
This notice announces that OPM has
submitted to OMB a request for review
and clearance of a revised information
collection (OMB No. 3206–0258)
Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions
(SF 85P) and Supplemental
Questionnaire for Selected Positions (SF
85P–S). The public has an additional
30-day opportunity to comment.
The SF 85P and SF 85P–S are
completed by applicants for, or
incumbents of, Federal Government
civilian positions, or positions in
private entities performing work for the
Federal Government under contract. For
applicants to Federal positions, the SF
85P and SF 85P–S are to be used only
after a conditional offer of employment
has been made. The SF 85P–S is
supplemental to the SF 85P and is used
only as approved by OPM, for certain
positions such as those requiring
carrying of a firearm. Electronic
Questionnaires for Investigations
Processing (e-QIP) is a web-based
system application that houses the SF
85P and SF 85P–S. A variable in
assessing burden hours is the nature of
the electronic application. The
electronic application includes
branching questions and instructions
which provide for a tailored collection
from the respondent based on varying
factors in the respondent’s personal
history. The burden on the respondent
is reduced when the respondent’s
personal history is not relevant to
particular question, since the question
branches, or expands for additional
details, only for those persons who have

pertinent information to provide
regarding that line of questioning.
Accordingly, the burden on the
respondent will vary depending on
whether the information collection
relates to the respondent’s personal
history.
The 60-day Federal Register Notice
was published on March 25, 2016 (81
FR 16224). Comments were received
from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service
(USPIS), Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
(ATF HQ–DoJ), an individual from VHA
Servicing HR Office (VSHO), the
National Treasury Employees Union
(NTEU), and the Electronic Privacy
Information Center (EPIC).
A commenter from VSHO provided
that initiating background investigations
after conditional offer of employment
led to significant delays with
onboarding new employees and
executing the agency’s mission.
According to the commenter, mandating
limits on an agency’s ability to collect
investigative documents within its own
timeframes can negatively impact the
speed of hiring. OPM did not accept the
recommendation. An agency’s internal
hiring procedures are established by
policies for the agency and do not fall
under the intended purpose of this
information collection. Also, the agency
should note that in accordance with
recent changes found in 5 CFR 731.103,
a hiring agency may not make specific
inquiries concerning an applicant’s
criminal or credit background of the sort
asked on the OF–306 or other forms
used to conduct suitability
investigations for employment unless
the hiring agency has made a
conditional offer of employment to the
applicant. Requests for an exception to
this requirement must be submitted to
the Office of Personnel Management, in
accordance with the provision of 5 CFR
part 330 subpart M.
A commenter from USPIS
recommended that another
authorization paragraph be added to the
release form to accommodate the IRS
tax-payer consent requirement needed
to search tax-payer records. OPM did
not accept this comment. IRS has
indicated that a separate distinct release
apart from an authorization form is
needed to conduct such record searches
when necessary and appropriate.
A commenter from ATF HQ–DoJ
submitted a recommendation that the
Alien Registration Number should be
mandatory if applicant indicates being a
naturalized United States Citizen, a
legal permanent resident, or a person
applying for legal status. OPM did not
accept this comment. While use of the
alien registration number may yield
better results for confirming citizenship

Frm 00055

Fmt 4703

status, it is possible for a person born
outside of the United States not to have
an alien registration number. For this
reason providing the alien registration
number cannot be mandatory. Another
recommendation from a commenter
with ATF HQ–DoJ indicated that
section13a (Employment ActivitiesEmployment & Unemployment Record)
should have more detailed instructions
when listing employment with the same
employer but at different locations.
OPM acknowledged the need for this
change as part of the proposed changes
identified in the 60 day Federal Register
notice publication for this collection.
Comments were received from NTEU
and EPIC regarding recent activities
surrounding the data breach
experienced at the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management. Concerns were
expressed regarding OPM’s ability to
secure the information collected from
the standard forms. No action is taken
in reference to the comments because
they are outside the purpose of this
information collection request. OPM
notes that information has been
communicated through many forums
regarding work underway at OPM and
across the government to safeguard
personnel records and enhance the
security and effectiveness of federal
background investigations. OPM also
notes that information regarding the
cybersecurity incidents is available at
www.opm.gov/cybersecurity.
EPIC commented that OPM’s proposal
to collect information from social media
activity as part of the employment
background investigation raises
significant privacy and civil liberty
concerns and that this information
should not be collected as part of the
employment background investigation.
OPM did not accept this comment as it
is outside the purpose of the
information collection request. OPM has
already determined that background
investigations may appropriately collect
publicly available electronic
information, including public posts on
social media. The change to the
information collection request is to
more explicitly convey to the individual
whose consent is required in order for
OPM to conduct the investigation that
the investigation may include collection
of publicly available electronic
information.
EPIC commented on OPM’s proposal
to revise instructions in section 21
(Illegal Use of Drugs and Drug Activity)
to include the advisement that ‘‘the
following questions pertain to the illegal
use of drugs or controlled substances or
drug or controlled substance activity not
in accordance with Federal laws, even
though permissible under state laws.’’

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 71 / Friday, April 14, 2017 / Notices

EPIC claims that 20 states have legalized
medical marijuana and that requiring
individuals to disclose their use of
medical marijuana implicates
significant privacy interests in medical
information and treatment
confidentiality. OPM did not accept this
comment because knowing or
intentional possession of marijuana,
even for personal use, is illegal under
Federal law. Unlawful possession of
marijuana, or marijuana abuse without
evidence of substantial rehabilitation,
can raise questions about an applicant’s
or employee’s reliability, judgment, and
trustworthiness or ability or willingness
to comply with laws, rules, and
regulations, thus indicating his or her
employment might not promote the
efficiency or protect the integrity of the
service. Further, from a credentialing
perspective, an agency must evaluate
whether an applicant’s or employee’s
abuse of drugs may put people,
property, or information systems at risk.
However, in response to EPIC’s
concerns, OPM notes that it recently
issued government-wide guidance that
an individual’s marijuana-related
conduct must be evaluated on a case-bycase basis, and explaining that a
suitability determination based on
unlawful marijuana possession must
include consideration of the nature and
seriousness of the conduct, the
circumstances surrounding the conduct,
and contributing societal conditions. In
the same guidance OPM reminded
Federal agencies of responsibilities for
appropriate prevention, treatment, and
rehabilitation programs and services for
Federal civilian employees with drug
problems. See https://www.chcoc.gov/
content/federal-laws-and-policiesprohibiting-marijuana-use.
EPIC also commented that OPM’s
proposal to revise ‘‘defendant in’’ to
‘‘party to’’ any public record civil court
action(s) in section 26 (Involvement in
Non-Criminal Court Actions) could
encompass child custody disputes and
divorce proceedings, and require
domestic abuse survivors to provide
details about restraining orders they
have obtained and could reveal highly
personal and sensitive information that
is unrelated to employment eligibility.
OPM did not accept this comment as the
collection of information regarding civil
and criminal records is required for
OPM to meet federal investigative
standards designed to provide relevant
information to support adjudication of
the background investigation.
The Privacy Act Routine Uses
provided on the form were updated to
conform to the most recent publication
of routine uses by OPM.

Jkt 241001

Changes were made to the
authorization release pages to maintain
consistency, as applicable, with
authorization forms used for conducting
background investigations.
OPM added clarifying language to the
‘‘Authorization for Release of
Information’’ to specify that information
collected during the background
investigation may include publicly
available social media information.
OPM also added an explanation that
publicly available social media
information includes any electronic
social media information that has been
published or broadcast for public
consumption, is available on request to
the public, is accessible on-line to the
public, is available to the public by
subscription or purchase, or is
otherwise lawfully accessible to the
public. The respondent is further
advised that consent provided through
the authorization does not require the
respondent to provide passwords; log
into a private account; or take any
action that would disclose non-publicly
available social media information.
OPM amended the ‘‘Authorization for
Release of Information’’ to include the
addition of other entities (Department of
Homeland Security and the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence) that
are authorized to request criminal
record information from criminal justice
agencies for the purpose of determining
the respondent’s eligibility for
assignment to, or retention in, a public
trust position. This change is in
accordance with the recent amendment
to 5 U.S.C. 9101.
OPM added language to the
‘‘Authorization for Release of Medical
Information Pursuant to the Health
Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act’’ to provide
explanatory information as to the need
for information about respondents’
mental health conditions, in certain
circumstances, to assist in assessing
suitability for positions of public trust
with the Federal government. The
release was also amended to inform the
respondent that (1) should the
respondent seek to revoke the
authorization, the respondent should
write to the respondent’s health care
provider or entity, and (2) revocation of
the authorization would not be effective
until received by the respondent’s
health care provider or entity.
OPM amended the ‘‘Fair Credit
Reporting Disclosure and
Authorization’’ to provide additional
information regarding the impact of a
security freeze on the respondent’s
consumer or credit report file on the
investigation process. Information
regarding the need for the respondent’s

PO 00000

Frm 00056

Fmt 4703

Social Security number was removed as
the information was duplicative of
information already provided in the SF
85P instructions.
OPM proposes changes to the SF 85P–
S, Question 5, ‘‘Your Medical Record’’
to include re-titling to ‘‘Psychological
and Emotional Health.’’ The new
section will clarify support for mental
health treatment and encourage proactive management of mental health
conditions to support wellness and
recovery.
The proposed revision to the SF 85P–
S, Question 5 will inquire as to whether
a court or administrative agency has
ever issued an order declaring the
respondent mentally incompetent;
whether a court or administrative
agency has ever ordered the respondent
to consult with a mental health
professional; and whether the
respondent has ever been diagnosed by
a physician or other health professional
with psychotic disorder, schizophrenia,
schizoaffective disorder, delusional
disorder, bipolar mood disorder,
borderline personality disorder, or
antisocial personality disorder. A
respondent who answers affirmatively
to the latter question is asked whether,
in the last five years, there have been
any occasions when the respondent did
not consult with a medical professional
before altering or discontinuing, or
failing to start a prescribed course of
treatment for any of the listed diagnoses.
A respondent who answers ‘‘no’’ to each
of the previous questions is asked
whether the respondent has a mental
health or other health condition that
substantially adversely affects his or her
judgment, reliability, or trustworthiness
even if he or she is not experiencing
such symptoms today. These questions
are necessary to satisfy adjudicative
decision-making regarding suitability or
fitness determinations for the
population of individuals required to
complete the SF 85PS. As noted, the SF
85P–S form, and this question, is only
used for certain public trust positions
that pose special risks, such as law
enforcement positions in which the
incumbents are required to carry
firearms.
