SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Standard Form 87
Fingerprint Charts; SF 87; OMB Control Number 0705-0002.
Needs and Uses: The SF 87 is a fingerprint card, which is utilized
to conduct a national criminal history check, which is a component of
the background investigation. The SF 87 is completed by applicants who
are under consideration for Federal employment; by Federal employees,
to determine whether they should be retained in such employment; by
individuals being considered to perform work for the Federal Government
under a Government contract or to continue such work; and by persons
seeking long-term access to Federal facilities and systems. The SF 87
fingerprint chart is used in background investigations to help
establish facts required to determine, for example, whether the subject
of the investigation should be adjudicated to be eligible for logical
and physical access to Government facilities and systems; suitable or
fit for Federal employment; fit to perform work on behalf of the
Federal Government under a Government contract; eligible to hold a
position that is sensitive for national security reasons; or eligible
for access to classified information. The SF 87 form is utilized only
when a hardcopy fingerprint chart must be obtained, as opposed to the
electronic collection of fingerprints.
