Abstract: The Request for Interim Security Clearance (ATF F
8620.70) is used to request approval for a candidate for Federal or
Contractor employment at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives to be granted an interim security clearance prior to the
completion and adjudication of the individual's background
investigation. The proposed information collection (IC) OMB # 1140-0119
is being revised to remove the option for one to delay an interim
security clearance and to replace it with the option for one to decline
the risk associated with an interim security clearance. Additionally, a
minor revision to the Paperwork Reduction Act Notice has been included.
