· Contract Number

· Contract Expiration Date

This information will be used to set up an account for the applicant in the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) e-QIP system. E-QIP is an online system used to submit required information for background checks. Once the account has been set up, an email will be sent to the applicant's address which will contain a link to the e-QIP system. The applicant will then need to go to this link and follow the prompts to complete an online SF-85 form. The e-QIP link is available via the internet and can be accessed anywhere a normal website is accessed. Once the applicant has completed the online form, they will be directed to print two (2) signature sheets. These signature sheets shall be printed and signed by the applicant and submitted to ALC.

9.12 Obtain Fingerprints

The applicant shall be fingerprinted at one (1) of the following locations:

Elizabeth City USCG, Building 35, the USCG Security Center, or the Local Sheriff’s Office. Elizabeth City USCG, Building 35 office will only conduct fingerprints on Wednesdays between 0800 and 1130. The applicant will need to provide their driver's license or a Government issued identification (ID). The fingerprints will be electronically submitted to the USCG Security Center.

USCG Security Center, 1441 Crossways Blvd. Suite 102, Chesapeake, VA. Fingerprints are conducted Tuesdays and Thursdays between 0900 and 1500. The applicant will need to provide an ID as described above. The fingerprints will be electronically submitted to the USCG Security Center.

Local Sheriff’s Office. The applicant will need to provide an ID as described above and will need to inform the deputy that the fingerprints are being conducted for a USCG security background check. The applicant will need to request two (2) copies of their fingerprints which will be provided to them on FD-258 fingerprint cards.

Required Forms The following required forms shall be completed:

· Form OF-306, Declaration for Federal Employment. Only blocks 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17a need to be completed.

· USCG Credit Release Form (USCG 11000-9).

Submitting Required Documentation Once these steps have been completed, the two (2) signature sheets, OF-306 and the USCG 11000-9 may be scanned and emailed to ALC-ContractorBI@uscg.mil with the subject line "Completed Security Package". These documents cannot be combined into one (1) attachment. They should be scanned and attached as four (4) separate documents. The fingerprint cards cannot be accepted as a scanned document. If the applicant obtained their fingerprints at the Sheriff's Office, the fingerprint cards shall be delivered to the Standards and Security Branch in the Information Systems Division (ISD), Building 63, ALC.

9.13 Final Steps

After the required documents have been received, the USCG will compile them in e-QIP and submit them to the USCG Security Center. At this point, no further action can take place to process the computer account and CAC until ALC receives a favorable fingerprint report back from the USCG Security Center. The expected wait time is three (3) to four (4) weeks.

When the USCG receives notification of a favorable fingerprint check, notification will be provided to the Contractor’s Program Manager and the applicant will be requested to report to the Standards and Security Branch in ISD, Building 63, ALC. The applicant will then be required to complete and pass ISS Training and sign the AIS User Acknowledge Form. The ISS Training will be made available to the applicant on workstations located in the Standards and Security office area at ALC. For Contractor employees not physically located at ALC, the COR will coordinate with the Standards and Security Branch to determine how to complete the required briefing and ISS training. Once the applicant has successfully completed the ISS training and signed the AIS form, a request will be submitted to the USCG’s Centralized Service Desk St. Louis, Missouri to request the applicant's computer account be created. The process shall also be completed before a Government CAC is issued.

All Contractor personnel working on the Elizabeth City USCG complex and/or required to access federally controlled computer information systems will be required to obtain a government Common Access Card.
