This NEW package, unbundled from the SF 86 (OMB 3206-0005) transmits a 30 Day Notice request for clearance for the Federal Register publication notice of a request for review of the SF 85. The SF 85 is completed by civilian employees of the Federal Government, military personnel, and non-federal employees, including Federal contractors and individuals otherwise not directly employed by the Federal Government but who perform work for or on behalf of the Federal Government. For applicants, the SF 85 is to be used only after a conditional offer of employment has been made. The collection is used as the basis of information by the Federal Government in conducting background investigations, of persons under consideration for non-sensitive positions and by agencies in determining whether a person performing work for or on behalf of the Federal Government under a contract should be deemed eligible for logical or physical access.
