The U.S. Government Personnel Security Working Group approves and encourages use of this program as a job aid for
personnel security adjudicators, investigators, and managers.
The background information about individual issue
areas is not U.S. Government policy and will not be cited as authority for
denial or revocation of access. It is a job aid to assist security personnel
in making informed judgments to implement policy. This program was developed
by the Department of Defense Personnel Security Research Center for use by
the U.S. Government security community. This is version 3.1 dated
September 2007.
