Privacy Act Statement

General: This information is provided pursuant to Public Law 93-579 (Privacy Act of 1974), December 21, 1984, for individuals completing this form.

Authority: The authority to collect information on the attached form is derived from one or more of the following:

Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, section 5.2; Title 5, United States Code, sections 1303, 1304, and 3301; sections 8(b), 8(c), and 9(c) of Executive Order 10450; Title 42, United States Code, section 2455; and Title 22, United States Code, sections 1434 and 2585.

Purposes and Uses: The collection, maintenance, and disclosure of background investigative information are governed by the Privacy Act. This information is being collected for the purpose of conducting a suitability background investigation, and the information will be protected from unauthorized disclosure. In line with new regulations mandated by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management Investigative Services and the Department of the Interior (DOI), the National Park Service (NPS) Personnel Security Branch is utilizing the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (E-QIP) System. As a result, electronic submission of the standard form 85, for suitability background investigations (NACI) or the Standard Form 85P, for Public Trust, is now required. The DOI and NPS requires all Federal employees and non-Federal personnel requiring access to NPS property and/or receive a DOIAccess badge to be processed for a suitability background investigation, in accordance with Executive Order 10450 and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12). The Department of the Interior and the National Park Service requesting the background investigation have published notices in the Federal Register describing the systems of records in which your records will be maintained. Information from the contractor may be transferred to appropriate Federal, State, local agencies, when relevant to civil, criminal or regulatory investigations or prosecutions.

Effects of Nondisclosure: It is in your best interest to answer all of the questions. The U.S. Criminal Code, Title 18 U.S.C. 1001, provides that knowingly falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony that may result in fines of up to $10,000 or 5 years in prison, or both. Deliberately and materially making false or fraudulent statements on this form will be grounds for not granting you a Special Use Permit

Information Regarding Disclosure of Your Social Security Number Under Public Law 93-579 Section 7(b): Your Social Security Number (SSN) is needed to identify records unique to you. Applicants are required to provide their social security or taxpayer identification number for activities subject to collection of fees and charges by the National Park Service (31 U.S.C. 7701). Although disclosure of your SSN is not mandatory, failure to disclose your SSN may prevent or delay the initiation of your background clearance and subsequently, your approval to be granted physical and/or electronic access to NPS offices and computer systems. The authority for soliciting and verifying your SSN is Executive Order 9397. The information gathered through the use of the SSN will be used only as necessary for processing this application and will be carried out in accordance with established regulations and published notices of system of records (Interior-DOI-45, “Personnel Security Files – Interior”, 47 FR 11036). .
