Contractor entities are responsible for completing contractual
requirements. Based on guidance contained in their contracts, they must
identify which personnel will require background investigations for
clearances in order to complete those contracts. Therefore, in order to
comply with the terms of the Fiscal Year 2001 Defense Authorization
Bill as they pertain to quantifying background investigation
requirements and to ensure sufficient funding for these background
investigations for clearances, DCSA must solicit input from the
contractor entities regarding the numbers of each type of investigation
they require for contract performance requiring access to classified
information. The survey data are used to project case and cost
estimates, integral to planning and programming for NISP personnel
security investigations across the Fiscal Year Defense Plan.
