SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The U.S. Government conducts criminal checks to establish that
applicants or incumbents working for the Government under contract may
have unescorted access to GSA-controlled facilities. GSA uses the
Temporary Contractor Information Worksheet and the FBI Form FD-258
Fingerprint Card to conduct a FBI National Criminal Information Check
(NCIC) for each temporary contractor (working on contract for six
months or less and require physical access only) on GSA contracts for
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-5) efforts
to determine whether to grant unescorted access to GSA-controlled
facilities. GSA will continue to make physical access determinations
for temporary contractors due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M-05-24 for
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 authorizes Federal
departments and agencies to ensure that temporary contractors have
limited/controlled access to facilities and information systems. GSA
Directive CIO P 2181.1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12
Personal Identity Verification and Credentialing (available at http://www.gsa.gov/hspd12) states that GSA temporary contractors must undergo
a minimum of a FBI National Criminal Information Check (NCIC) to
receive unescorted

physical access. Temporary contractors' Social Security Number is
needed to keep records accurate, because other people may have the same
name and birth date. Executive Order 9397 Numbering System for Federal
Accounts Relating to Individual Persons also allows Federal agencies to
use this number to help identify individuals in agency records. GSA
describes how information will be maintained in the Privacy Act system
of record notice published in the Federal Register at 73 FR 35690 on
June 24, 2008.
