Both of these are replies to official government requests. If we ask the FSOs to submit information via RRU, it is an OGR.

5 This includes any overarching requests such as marriage to a foreign national. 12 New Interim Determination Process DoD policy requires the following for an Interim Secret to be granted Scheduled investigation FavorableReview of the SF-86 FavorableFP check Proof of citizenship Favorable Review of the Local Records, if applicable PSMO-I Implementation 1 Aug 201613 Step 6 Step 9 Step 7 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 4 Step 10 Step 11 Step 12 High Level PCL Process OverviewFSO identifies need and initiates e-QIP and instructs applicantto completeIssues?NO grant final eligibilityYES DoDCAF sends SOR to DOHA legal reviewDOHA agrees with SOR, sends to FSO/SubjectDOHA disagrees with SOR and recommends final eligibilityIf Subject fails to respond to SOR, DoDCAF will post Denial/RevocationOnce applicant completes e-Q I P, FSO reviews for completeness and releases to PSMOA dministrative Determination or Official Hearing for final determinationSubject responds to SOR and returns response to DOHAPSMO reviews e-QIP forissues andcompletenessEligible for reapplication after 1 yearComplete no issues?

7 What is the real and tangible timeline for getting an Interim ? How long will this new timeline last, is it a funding issue or funding/ Process issue? What should I do with open investigations without interims where the eQIPswere submitted by another agency. How long will the new Interim Determination Process take? If an Interim Determination is made, is it anticipated that the following investigation would be adjudicated faster? If the fingerprint report comes back clear, will an Interim automatically be granted? Who should submit investigation requests to for personnel who do not require access to classified information to include IT Levels 1 & 2?
