Abstract: Self-reporting requirements
set forth in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Policy Statement 1700.04,
Department Personnel Security Reporting Requirements, issued April 18,

policy contains reporting requirements that are applicable to the entire DOJ
workforce as well as reporting requirements that apply only to personnel
occupying a national security Start Printed Page 54143position or who have
access to classified information. The requirements relating to national security
are mandated by the Director of National Intelligence as the Security Executive
Agent. The majority of the reports relate to the submitter's personal conduct
and activities. There is one form for personnel to submit information on other
personnel, consistent with government-wide reporting requirements. This
collection request seeks approval for contractors and other non-federal
employees who are processed for access to classified information to utilize the
Department's automated reporting system called i Report, or, for the
small population with no access to the IT system, to utilize PDF fillable forms
to report the required information. The Security and Emergency Planning Staff,
and other Department Security Offices, will use the reported information to
determine the submitter's continued fitness for employment at the Department of
Justice or continued eligibility for access to national security information.
The Department security offices for each agency component will review, evaluate,
and adjudicate the information received.
