§3352h Timeliness Standard for Rendering Determinations of Trust for Personnel Vetting

Summary

The President must have the Security Executive Agent and the Suitability and Credentialing Executive Agent create and publish new time goals for how fast personnel vetting trust decisions must be made. At least once every 5 years those officials must review and, if needed, update the goals and publish any changes in the Federal Register. The same two officials must put out a public report at least every quarter showing how well Executive agencies meet the goals. Each report must, when possible, break the data down by risk category and show results for Government staff versus contractors. The Director of National Intelligence can set matching standards for the intelligence community after consulting the relevant council. For each quarterly compliance report, the DNI must give the congressional intelligence committees anonymized, machine-readable raw data on how long polygraph exams took, for each intelligence element that collects those numbers. The data may have personal details removed, should be unclassified when possible, and must include a reason for any classified parts.
