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

Summary

The President must work through the Security Executive Agent and the Suitability and Credentialing Executive Agent to set and publish new time-based performance rules for how quickly personnel vetting trust decisions are made under the federal vetting standards. At least once every 5 years those agents must review the rules, update them if needed, and publish any changes in the Federal Register. The two agents must also publish a public report at least quarterly on how federal executive agencies are meeting the time rules, and the reports must break the data down by risk category and by government versus contractor personnel. The Director of National Intelligence may make matching standards for the intelligence community after consulting the relevant performance council. For each quarterly compliance report, the Director must give the congressional intelligence committees anonymized raw data on the timing of polygraph exams used in the report, in machine-readable form for each intelligence element that collects the data. That data can have personal identifiers removed, should be unclassified whenever possible, and must include a reason for any information that is classified.
