PCLs Require Completion for FCL Issuance Notification

$FCL_Package.sponsorship_submission.facility_profile_775032744.fso_firstname_775032744 $FCL_Package.sponsorship_submission.facility_profile_775032744.fso_lastname_775032744,

We have initiated the Personnel Security Questionnaires (PSQs) via e-QIP for the following Key Management Personnel (KMP) at $FCL_Package.sponsorship_submission.facility_profile_775032744.facility_nm, CAGE: $FCL_Package.sponsorship_submission.facility_profile_775032744.cage_cd,

E-QIP PSQs initiated:

( $FCL_KMP_record in $FCL_KMP )

($FCL_KMP_record.essential_kmp = 'Y')

$FCL_KMP_record.first_name $FCL_KMP_record.last_name

Please ensure that the personnel required to complete the e-QIP are copied on this e-mail and have been provided the attached instructions. Please note that these instructions and the registration codes discussed below are provided to the primary POC for your company, who should then disseminate them to the appropriate KMP. You should review this email, along with attachments, in its entirety as soon as possible upon receipt even if you are not required to complete an investigation request at this time. There have been numerous changes to this process. Additionally, your company must ensure electronic fingerprints are submitted timely for your KMP and the FSO, or other company personnel, must identify an electronic fingerprinting solution

***e-QIP LOGIN DETAILS***
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) made numerous changes to increase the security of the e-QIP system. These improvements enhance password protections, secure transmission of data within the application, and implement protections against external threats. If you have not accessed e-QIP recently, you will enter the e-QIP applicant site as a new user by indicating you do not have a username and password (only the login has been reset – if you have previously entered information in e-QIP, it should be retained). On the Golden Questions page, you will enter your true last name (in all CAPITAL LETTERS) and true year of birth. The city of birth may be set to the word “unknown” or to your true city of birth (in all CAPITAL LETTERS). You will also need to enter a Registration Code (all letters are CAPITALIZED), which will be provided to you via the AMRDEC Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) website within the next 24 hours. Please monitor your email, including junk mail, for an email from [email protected]. This email will contain a link to the SAFE website and a password, which you will need to enter to download a file. The file will contain the Registration Codes for your company’s KMP.

If you receive your Registration Code and cannot successfully login using that code, please call the DoD Security Services Call Center at 888-282-7682 and explain that you have an e-QIP Registration Code but are not able to login. Describe the error and they will work with you to troubleshoot. If they need to take steps that reset your Registration Code, please reply to this email to request the updated Registration Code. If you follow these steps and are not able to login, please “reply all” to this email to advise us of this immediately.

Once you have successfully logged in and created a username and password, you should be able to use that username and password to login going forward.

***SIGNATURE PAGES***
Signature pages can now be signed digitally within e-QIP using Click-to-Sign (C2S)! Utilizing C2S will allow for more efficient processing of your request. It is possible to “opt out” of using C2S and to print, sign, and transmit ink signed signature pages instead. However, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that all subjects being processed as Key Management Personnel (KMP) for an in-process FCL use C2S to minimize the possibility of encountering issues that may interfere with meeting FCL process deadlines.

If you choose to opt out of using C2S, please see the attached guide for instructions on submitting your traditionally signed signature pages.

***DEADLINE***
You are strongly encouraged to submit your e-QIP as soon as possible. Failure to submit the e-QIP and Signature Pages for all KMP listed above by the deadline provided in your Welcome Email, or within 25 calendar days of the date of this email if no other deadline has been provided, may result in discontinuation of your FCL process. Please note that electronic fingerprints can be submitted up to 120 days prior to the investigation request. Early submission of electronic fingerprints is STRONGLY encouraged.

***FINGERPRINTS***
All investigations except Periodic Reinvestigations (PRs) require that the subject’s fingerprints be submitted electronically via the Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT) website. Please see the attached guide for instructions on completing this requirement. As a facility that is in-process for an FCL, your company does not yet meet the minimum requirements to obtain a SWFT account. Your personnel’s fingerprints will need to be submitted via SWFT as .EFT files by FCB or another third party.

Please review the attached guidance now and identify an electronic fingerprint solution that will work for your company so you will be able to submit fingerprints timely. Please do not attempt to submit fingerprints in any format besides an .EFT file. You should submit electronic fingerprints via SAFE to me or via SWFT to OPM as soon as possible. Fingerprints must be received by OPM no later than 14 calendar days after or up to 120 days prior to submission of your eQIP. If you submit your fingerprints to FCB for processing, you will need to allow for an additional 2-3 business days for them to be sent to OPM. Failure to meet the 14 day deadline will result in your investigation requests being deemed unacceptable and the FCL process will be discontinued.

Thank you

Welcome Package New Facility Clearance Request

$Sponsorship_Submission.fso_fn $Sponsorship_Submission.fso_ln,

Welcome to the National Industrial Security Program. This email is confirmation that your Facility Clearance (FCL) sponsorship package has been accepted. Today is Day 1 in your facility's FCL Process.

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has been delegated security administration responsibilities and is the Cognizant Security Office (CSO) on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD). As the CSO, DCSA will advise and assist your facility during the FCL process.

It is highly recommended that all required legal business documentation pertaining to your facility is reviewed for accuracy and completeness prior to submission. A list of required documents and forms can be found in the FCL Orientation Handbook, located on the DCSA website at www.dcsa.mil.

It is imperative that your facility meets the required deadlines noted below. A DCSA Representative from the Facility Clearance Branch (FCB) will work with your facility as you progress through the FCL Process. If you have any questions, please contact your assigned DCSA FCB Specialist or the DCSA Knowledge Center at (888)-282-7682, Option 3.

Deadline 1 (Day 20): Upload the required Documentation and Forms in the National Industrial Security System (NISS)* by $Sponsorship_Submission.fcl_sub_discontinue_date_775032744.

Deadline 2 (Day 45): Submit Key Management Personnel (KMP) Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations processing (e-QIPs) by $Sponsorship_Submission.kmp_eqip_sub_discontinue_date_775032744.

Deadline 3: Submit KMP fingerprints within 14 days after submitting KMP e-QIPs

NOTE: Failure to meet any of the above deadlines may result in the discontinuation of the FCL processing. If your FCL request is discontinued for any reason, your sponsor will be required to resubmit a sponsorship request in NISS and your facility will start the process over.

NISS/NCAISS ACCOUNT REQUEST GUIDANCE:

In order to submit your required legal business documentation and forms identified in the FCL Orientation Handbook, you will be required to register for an account in the NISS. Registering for NISS is a two-step process.

The first step is to establish a National Industrial Security Program (NISP) Central Access Information Security System (NCAISS) account: http://www.dcsa.mil/is/nisp_ncaiss. NCAISS registration requires use of a DoD-Approved PKI (CAC/ECA). If you currently do not have a DoD-Approved PKI, it is recommended that you immediately begin the process to obtain one. More information can be found in the NCAISS FAQs at: https://www.dcsa.mil/Portals/91/Documents/IS/NCAISS_FAQs.pdf.

Once you’ve established an NCAISS account, you will complete the second step of NISS registration. You will receive a separate email in the next few days stating that your DCSA Representative has been assigned. For more information on NISS registration, please review the “Registration” section at: http://www.dcsa.mil/is/niss.

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency looks forward to partnering with you on this process.
