ATF-04 BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION (BI) REQUIREMENTS
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS (May 2010, Revised October 31, 2019)
Candidate Screening
15A00025R00000099 Page 10 of 53
A. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all potential Contractor employees (Candidates) assigned hereunder undergo ATF’s personnel security process to determine their eligibility for access to ATF information, information technology (IT) systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities.
B. The personnel security process will be conducted by or under the auspices of the Personnel Security Division (PSD), Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). It is the responsibility of the Contractor to provide a Personnel Security Package to the Candidate to complete. Once completed, the Candidate must return the Package to the Contractor so that the Candidate may be screened by the Contractor.
C. The Contractor will conduct the Candidate screening by reviewing each completed form submitted by the Candidate. The Contractor will make a preliminary determination whether the Candidate possesses a personal history that is in compliance with ATF’s Agency Specific Qualifications (ASQs).
1. If the Contractor has questions or concerns regarding the Candidate’s responses to questions on any of the forms, the Contractor must discuss the responses with ATF’s assigned Contracting Officer (CO)/Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to determine whether ATF will accept the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package for processing.
2. If the Contractor believes that the Candidate’s responses are/will not be in compliance with one or more ASQs, the Contractor will remove the Candidate from consideration and, if warranted, identify a replacement Candidate.
D. Agency Specific Qualifications (ASQs). ASQs are requirements established by Federal mandates, Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations or policies, and/or ATF regulations or policies that Candidates must be in compliance with prior to being granted access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities. ASQs include:
1. Drug Policy. ATF applies a specific policy to the Candidate’s past and present illegal drug activities to determine whether the Candidate is in compliance with this ASQ. This internal policy is applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.12, Drug Activity Questionnaire, completed as part of the Personnel Security Package.
a) Candidates currently involved in illegal drug activities or substance abuse are ineligible for hiring.
b) Past involvement in illegal drug activities or substance abuse may disqualify the Candidate if activities were more than minimal and limited.
2. Financial Interests in Regulated Industries. Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 3801.107 states, “…no employee of the ATF, or spouse or minor child of an ATF employee, shall have, directly or indirectly, any financial interest, including compensated employment, in the alcohol, tobacco, firearms or explosives industries." (This includes being listed as a responsible person on a Firearms License or an Explosives License or Permit.) This regulation is applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.44, Licensing Questionnaire, completed as part of the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package, and ATF licensing records to determine if the Candidate is in compliance with this ASQ.
a) The Candidate, his/her spouse, or his/her minor child who has a financial interest in a firearms or explosives entity must surrender the license/permit and/or the financial interest in the business prior to the Candidate entering on duty.
b) A determination by ATF’s Office of Chief Counsel will be made regarding financial interest held by the Candidate, his/her spouse, or his/her minor child in the alcohol and tobacco industries once the Candidate enters on duty.
3. Financial Responsibilities. The DOJ provides specific regulations and policies relating to a Candidate’s financial obligations and delinquent debts. These regulations and policies are applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.28, Financial History Questionnaire (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package), credit reports/financial data obtained by ATF, and the sensitivity level of the position for which the Candidate is being considered to determine if the Candidate is in compliance with this ASQ.
a) A Candidate who is currently delinquent more than 120 days with any debt, must provide to the Contractor evidence of resolution by timely submitting proof of payment, proof of participation in or compliance with a payment plan, or proof of a legal remedy.
b) A Candidate who declines to provide evidence of resolution will disqualify the Candidate from eligibility consideration.
4. Prohibited Persons. ATF applies a specific policy to Candidates relating to an individual’s prohibition from possessing or receiving firearms, explosives, and/or ammunition. This policy, based on the prohibitions outlined in the Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C.

Chapter 44) and Importation, Manufacture, Distribution, and Storage of Explosives Materials (18 U.S.C. Chapter 40), is applied to the Candidate’s responses to ATF F 8620.57, Prohibited Persons Questionnaire (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package).
ATF will conduct law enforcement and court record checks to determine whether the Candidate is in compliance with this ASQ.
a) Federal law states that it is unlawful for a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence or has a qualifying order of protection against him/her to possess a firearm or ammunition. The law also prohibits these persons from shipping, transporting, or receiving firearms and/or ammunition.
b) Federal law prohibits the possession of firearms, ammunition, and explosives by a person who has been convicted of a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year; is a fugitive from justice; is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance; has been adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution; is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States; is an alien who has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (with certain exceptions); has been discharged from the military under dishonorable conditions; or has renounced his/her U.S. citizenship.
c) Federal law prohibits the receipt of firearms and ammunition, and the receipt or possession of explosives, by a person who is under indictment for a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year.
5. Residency and Citizenship Requirements. The DOJ has specific requirements relating to a Candidate’s residency status and citizenship, including that non-U.S. citizens shall not be authorized access to IT systems. Compliance with this ASQ is determined by identifying the Candidate’s residency status and citizenship through review of the Candidate’s responses to ATF F 8620.58, Residency and Citizenship (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package); review of the Candidate’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII); determination regarding the type of position applied for by the Candidate; and verification whether the Candidate requires computer access.
a) Residency Requirements. For 3 of the last 5 years, the Candidate must have either resided in the United States, worked for the United States in a foreign country in a Federal or military capacity, and/or been a dependent of a Federal or military employee in a foreign country. (The 3 years do not need to be consecutive; they may be cumulative during the past 5 years.)
b) Citizenship Requirements. The Candidate must be able to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or proof that he/she is a foreign national legally permitted to reside in the U.S. in order to work on an ATF contract and gain access to ATF information and/ or unescorted access to ATF facilities. (Acceptable Department of Homeland Security Credentials to prove immigrant status or employment authorization are listed on Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.)
1) Foreign nationals’ country of citizenship must be listed on the U.S. Collective Defense Arrangement Agreement approved countries list as defined by the Federal Investigative Standards or superseding regulations.
2) Candidates who are non-U.S. citizens may not be authorized access to or assist in the development, operation, management or maintenance of ATF IT systems, unless temporary eligibility has been approved by the ATF Director, with concurrence of the DOJ Chief Information Officer and the Department Security Officer.
6. Selective Service. Although there are a few exceptions, the Military Selective Service Act requires all male U.S. citizens born after December 31, 1959 who are 18 years old, but not yet 26 years old, to register with the Selective Service. Male Candidates should access https://www.sss.gov/ to verify that they are registered with the Selective Service. This requirement is applied to male Candidates’ responses on Optional Form (OF) 306, Declaration for Federal Employment. ATF will also conduct a Selective Service query to determine whether the Candidate is in compliance with the Selective Service Laws and this ASQ.
7. Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12. This Directive sets forth policy regarding completion of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) check prior to the Candidate being provided a federally-issued identification card for access to a Federal building and access to Government IT systems.
a) There is not a PIV check form in the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package. ATF personnel will conduct the PIV check at a later date.
b) When requested by an ATF representative, the Candidate must be able to present (in person for viewing) two forms of original, unexpired government-issued identification in accordance with HSPD 12 requirements (e.g., raised seal birth certificate or current passport, along with a current driver’s license or state-issued photo identification card). Copies of the forms of identification and/or unexpired documents are not acceptable.
15A00025R00000099 Page 12 of 53
c) The Contractor should advise the Candidate to locate the necessary forms of identification and/or documents in advance to assist in timely completing this part of the personnel security process.
E. Contractor’s Preliminary Determination of Employment Eligibility. The Contractor must make a preliminary determination whether the Candidate is in compliance with the ASQs after reviewing the Candidate’s completed Personnel Security Package.
1. When a Contractor determines that a Candidate is not in compliance with one or more of the ASQs, the Contractor should not submit the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package for personnel security processing and should identify a new Candidate for consideration.
2. When a Contractor makes an initial determination that the Candidate is in compliance with the ASQs, the Contractor should follow the below guidance relating to the E-Verify Program, Tentative Employment Offer, and Employment References. Once the Contractor completes these responsibilities, the Contractor shall submit the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package to the CO/COR.
F. E-Verify Program. Once the Contractor makes a preliminary determination that the Candidate is in compliance with ATF ASQs, the Contractor must access the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify Program to verify the Candidate’s U.S.
employment eligibility, regardless of the Candidate’s citizenship status. If the Candidate’s employment eligibility cannot be verified by the Contractor, the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package shall not be forwarded to the CO/COR.
1. Contractors must register for access to the E-Verify Program on-line at https://www.vis-dhs.com/employerregistration/.
This website provides instructions to employers on completing a Memorandum of Understanding required for official registration in the E-Verify Program.
2. Contractors requesting additional information about the Program can visit the E-Verify website at www.dhs.gov/E-Verify or call the E-Verify Program office at 1-888-464-4218.
G. Tentative Employment Offer or Confirmation that Employee is Already Employed by the Contractor. The Contractor must submit a copy of the Candidate’s tentative offer of employment or documentation which shows that the Candidate is already employed by the Contractor with the completed Personnel Security Package to the CO/COR.
H. Notification of Candidate Employment Reference Checks. The Contractor shall inform the Candidate that prior to being approved for access, ATF will conduct Employment Reference Checks for all of the Candidate’s employments during the past 2 years if the Candidate is being submitted for a Temporary Eligibility determination. In addition, Contractors shall advise Candidates that employment records may be reviewed for all employments during the past 5 years if a background investigation (BI) is conducted.
I. Personnel Security Processing. Upon completion of the Candidate screening, the Contractor shall forward the Personnel Security Package to the CO/COR. The CO/COR will review the entire Package for completeness. The CO/COR will then forward the Personnel Security Package, along with a completed PSD Request Package to the PSD via email at PSDSubmitPSR@atf.gov or hard copy to 99 New York Avenue, Suite 1.E-300, Washington, DC 20226 for processing.
1. Costs and fees associated with the Candidate screening (including fingerprinting) incurred by the Contractor or Candidate, will not be reimbursed by the Federal government.
2. If a full BI is required, it may be a lengthy process to complete, depending on the complexity of the BI.
3. To the extent practicable, the Contractor is encouraged to fill all positions with Candidates who have a current favorably adjudicated Federal BI that meets or exceeds the level of investigation required for the position. This may allow reciprocity of the Candidate’s prior BI which could expedite the personnel security process.
J. Pre-Employment Screening (PES). The PSD will conduct a pre-employment screening (PES) on all Candidates, including those being considered for reciprocity. This screening is a thorough review, and expanded analysis if necessary, of the Candidate’s compliance with the Federal requirements and ASQs.
1. A favorable PES determination must be made in order to continue with the personnel security process.
2. If an unfavorable PES determination is made, the personnel security process will be terminated; the CO/COR will be notified; and the Contractor may be requested to submit another Candidate for consideration.
15A00025R00000099 Page 13 of 53
K. Adjudication of the Candidate’s BI. Once the BI has been completed, the PSD will adjudicate the BI by applying the suitability standards under 5 CFR, Part 731, Federal adjudicative guidelines and ASQs. The PSD will then make a favorable or unfavorable adjudicative determination whether to grant the Candidate access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities. The PSD will advise the CO/COR who, in turn, will advise the Contractor of ATF’s adjudicative determination.
L. Authorized Access to ATF Information, IT Systems, and/or Unescorted Access to ATF Facilities. A Candidate shall not be granted access to unclassified sensitive ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities until a favorable adjudicative determination has been made or a temporary eligibility has been approved by the PSD.
Request for Temporary Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position
A. Conditions for Requesting Temporary Eligibility. To satisfy urgent ATF staffing needs, the CO/COR may request temporary eligibility of the mandatory pre-employment BI for a Candidate requiring access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities.
B. Submitting a Request for Temporary Eligibility. After justifying the need for temporary eligibility and obtaining all of the necessary approvals, the CO/COR will prepare an ATF F 8620.69, Request for Temporary Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position, and submit it along with the completed ATF Forms 8620.33, Employment Reference, for each of the Candidate’s employments during the past 2 years. The CO/COR is responsible for conducting all reference checks unless a CO/COR receives prior approval from the PSD to designate another individual to conduct the reference checks.
C. Advantages/Disadvantages of Obtaining Temporary Eligibility. An approved temporary eligibility will allow the Candidate to begin the ATF assignment prior to the completion of the BI. However, if derogatory information develops during the course of the Candidate’s BI, access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities will be rescinded.
The Contractor may be requested to submit another Candidate for consideration.
Reciprocity A. Criteria for Applying Reciprocity. In accordance with Executive Order 13488 and guidance from the Office of Personnel Management, ATF may apply reciprocity to a prior favorably adjudicated Federal BI. In order for reciprocity to be applicable, all of the following criteria must be met:
1. The Candidate is a current ATF employee, an applicant for an ATF position, or being considered for a non-ATF personnel position.
2. A favorably adjudicated BI was conducted and meets or exceeds the position sensitivity level of the investigation required for the position. However,
a. The prior investigation must have been completed within the past 5 years; or
b. If the Candidate has an active security clearance (regardless of level), the investigation must have been completed within the past 7 years.
3. The Candidate has not had a break in Federal service of 24 months or more.
4. The favorable adjudication was based on the criteria in 5 CFR 731, or equivalent.
5. No new issues have been identified since the favorable adjudication.
6. Issues identified in the prior BI are compatible with the core duties of the new position, suitability standards, adjudicative guidelines, ASQs, and ATF’s mission.
B. Personnel Security Process When Applying Reciprocity. If reciprocity is applicable:
1. The Candidate’s Personnel Security Package must still be submitted to allow the PSD to conduct a pre-employment screening;
and
2. A Request for Temporary Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position will not be processed.
Denial or Disapproval of Access to ATF Information, IT Systems, and/or Unescorted Access to Facilities
A. Notification to CO/COR. In the event that a Candidate is denied or disapproved for access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities due to issues found during the BI, the PSD will notify the CO/COR.
15A00025R00000099 Page 14 of 53
B. Notification to Contractor. The CO/COR will notify the Contractor when a Candidate’s access is denied or disapproved; and the CO/COR may request that the Contractor provide another Candidate for consideration.
Privacy Act Requests
A. Request for Copy of a BI File. Once the PSD makes a favorable or unfavorable adjudicative determination, a Candidate may receive a copy of his/her BI file by submitting a written Privacy Act request. The request must be addressed to the Disclosure Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 99 New York Avenue, NE, Suite 4E-301, Washington, DC 20226.
B. Monetary Costs Associated with Privacy Act Request. It is the responsibility of the Candidate to assume all monetary costs associated with such request.
Escorted Access in ATF Facilities
A. Determination That Only Escorted Access in ATF Facilities is Required. In those instances, where the Contractor believes that its employees will only require escorted access in ATF facilities and will not need unescorted access to ATF facilities, or access to any unclassified sensitive ATF information or IT systems, the Contractor shall notify the CO/COR. The CO/COR will then apprise the PSD of the Contractor’s initial determination and provide the reasons for the determination. The PSD, in consultation with the CO/COR, will make the final determination whether the personnel security process will be conducted on the Candidate.
B. Police Check Inquiries for Candidate’s with Escorted Access in ATF Facilities. When the PSD determines that the Candidate will only require escorted access to ATF facilities and/or ATF construction sites, or will only be provided with access to low risk, non-sensitive ATF information (e.g., information that does not adversely affect the conduct of Federal programs or the privacy to which individuals are entitled), the Candidate will undergo a criminal history check in lieu of the personnel security process.
1. ATF’s Physical Security Programs Branch or the respective ATF field division/office is responsible for conducting police check inquiries and making a favorable or unfavorable determination whether to grant the Candidate escorted access to ATF facilities.
2. A police check inquiry is a separate procedure from the personnel security process and cannot be used as a substitution for the process; or as a temporary measure to grant access prior to the completion of the personnel security process.
Non-Disclosure Agreement for Access to Unclassified Sensitive Information
A. Agreement to Safeguard Unclassified Sensitive ATF Information. All Candidates are required to formally acknowledge their obligation to safeguard unclassified sensitive ATF information and their understanding of the penalties imposed for making an unauthorized disclosure of such information.
B. Acknowledgement of Agreement. Candidates make this acknowledgement promptly after entering on duty by completing a certification through ATF’s Justice Talent Management System (JTMS) or completing ATF F 8800.6, Non-Disclosure Agreement for Access to Unclassified Sensitive Information.
Eligibility to Access Classified National Security Information (NSI)
A. Addendum to Contract to Authorize Access to Classified NSI. This Contract, in and of itself, does not authorize a Candidate access to classified NSI. However, if an addendum (A1) is included with this Contract, access to classified NSI may be authorized at the level outlined in the addendum.
B. Contract Modification to Include Access to Classified NSI. If the Contractor, CO or COR believe that access to NSI is required after the contract is awarded, the PSD will assess the requirements and determine if access to NSI is required and at which level (Secret, Top Secret, or Top Secret – Sensitive Compartmented Information). If the PSD determines that access to NSI is required, the contract must be modified to incorporate the addendum (A1) depending on the required access level.
Periodic Reinvestigations
15A00025R00000099 Page 15 of 53
A. Contractor Personnel Must Undergo Periodic Background Reinvestigations. In accordance with the Federal Investigative Standards and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Contractor Security Requirements, DOJ 1700.01, once under contract with ATF, Contractor personnel are required to undergo a periodic background reinvestigation every 5 years.
B. Notification When Periodic Reinvestigation is Due. All ATF Contractor personnel will be contacted directly and/or through the ATF CO/COR by the PSD when they are due for their reinvestigations. Contractor personnel must comply with all reinvestigation requirements and requests.
C. Failure to comply with reinvestigation requirements may result in termination of access to ATF information, IT systems and/or facilities and therefore have a negative effect on the individual’s ability to provide services to ATF.
Continuous Evaluation
A. Contractor personnel may be submitted into continuous evaluation (CE) programs (i.e., Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Rap Back, Office of Director of National Intelligence, or any other Federally approved program). CE allows agencies to continuously monitor contractor personnel for criminal activities, civil actions and/or other conduct that may raise concerns regarding the contractor personnel’s continued suitability for contract employment with ATF.
