The purpose of the collection is to enable the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Federal Investigative Services (FIS), Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOI/PA) office, to locate applicable records and provide the requester responsive records pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a). Authority to collect this information is contained in 5 U.S.C. § 552, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, 5 C.F.R. § 297.201(b).
The Privacy Act Request for Completed Standard Form SF 85/SF 85P/SF86, INV 100A, is an information collection completed by individuals seeking access their most recently completed SF85, SF 85P, or SF 86 that was used to initiate a background investigation performed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Federal Investigative Services (FIS). OPM FISâs Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOI/PA) office utilizes the optional form INV 100A to standardize the collection of data elements specific to Privacy Act record requests for previously completed standard forms only. Current Privacy Act record requests are submitted to FIS-FOI/PA in a format chosen by the requester. Often the requests are missing data elements which require contact with the requester, thereby adding time to the access process. Standardization of the access process increases the volume of perfected requests received and strikes an appropriate balance between the burden to the public in submitting a request and FIS-FOI/PA being able to verify the identity of the requester thereby ensuring Privacy Act Protected records are not inappropriately released to third parties.
