Validating and Monitoring Agency Issuance of Personal Identity Verification Credentials
 Issued By: OMB - Effective Date: 01.11.2007, 0.046K, PDF
Abstract: This memorandum discusses validation and monitoring agency issuance of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) compliant identity credentials. In support of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), guidance requires by October 27, 2007, agencies complete background checks on all current employees and contractors and issue PIV credentials with one exception. For individuals who have been Federal department or agency employees over 15 years, a new investigation and PIV credential issuance may be delayed, commensurate with risk, but must be completed no later than October 27, 2008. Identity credentials should be provided as outlined in Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201 and associated technical specifications.
