GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THIS MESSAGE PROVIDES AMPLIFYING GUIDANCE AND IS TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH REFERENCES A THROUGH C.  REF A UPDATES GUIDANCE FROM DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY (DON) PERSONNEL SECURITY POLICY, REF B, FOR DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) CONTRACTOR INVESTIGATIONS NECESSITATED BY LOGICAL ACCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR POSITIONS RATED AS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)-II (LIMITED PRIVILEGE) AND IT-III (NON-PRIVILEGED).  THIS DOES NOT MODIFY REQUIREMENTS FOR DOD CONTRACTORS REQUIRING ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.  IN INSTANCES WHERE CONTRACTORS REQUIRE ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, THE INVESTIGATIVE AND ADJUDICATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR CLEARANCE ELIGIBILITY WILL ALSO SUPPORT COMMON ACCESS CARD (CAC) CARD ISSUANCE.  THIS MARADMIN AND GUIDANCE APPLIES ONLY TO DOD CONTRACTORS WHO:  ARE U.S. CITIZENS; HAVE BEEN HIRED TO PEFORM UNCLASSIFIED DUTIES; REQUIRE COMPUTER/SYSTEM ACCESS TO PERFORM OR ASSIST IN AN AUTHORIZED GOVERNEMENT FUNCTION WITHOUT ACCESS TO SYSTEM CONTROL, MONITORING OR ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGE; AND MAY REQUIRE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO DOD INSTALLATIONS AND FACILITIES.
2.  REQUESTS FOR INVESTIGATION FOR IT-II (LIMITED PRIVILEGE) WILL BE CODED 08B, NATIONAL AGENCY CHECK WITH LAW AND CREDIT, (NACLC); AND IT-III (NON-PRIVILEGED) WILL BE CODED 02B, NATIONAL AGENCY CHECK WITH WRITTEN INQUIRIES (NACI).  REQUESTS FOR CONTRACTOR INSTALLATION PHYSICAL ACCESS ONLY WILL ALSO BE CODED 02B.  THESE INVESTIGATIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED ON THE SF-85P ONLY AND ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CLEARANCE ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS.  THE SUBMISSION WILL USE THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY CENTRAL ADJUDICATION FACILITY (DONCAF) SUBMITTING OFFICE INDICATOR (SOI), NV00.  BOTH OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF REF C FOR CAC ISSUANCE.
3.  MARINE CORPS COMMANDS WILL SUBMIT REQUESTS FOR THE NACLC (08B) OR NACI (02B) TO SUPPORT CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS FOR CAC ISSUANCE PER REFERENCE C.  OTHER INVESTIGATIONS EXIST WHICH ARE EQUIVALENT TO THE NACI AND, IF PRESENT AND VERIFIABLE IN THE JOINT PERSONNEL ADJUDICATION SYSTEM (JPAS), WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ISSUE THE CAC. HOWEVER, MARINE CORPS COMMANDS WILL ONLY REQUEST THE NACLC OR NACI FOR THIS PURPOSE.  THE FOLLOWING LIST OF NACI EQUIVALENT INVESTIGATIONS WILL BE DEEMED SUITABLE FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CAC FOR CONTRACTORS REQUIRING IT-III (NON-PRIVILEGED) LOGICAL ACCESS: ANACI, BGI-0112, BGI-1336, BGI-3760, BI, BIPN, BIPR, BITN, CNAC, CNCI, IBI, LBI, LBIP, LBIX, MBI, MBIP, MBIX, NACB, NACI, NACL, NACLC, NACP, NACS, NACW, NACZ, NLC, NNAC, NPSB, PPR, PRI, PRS, PRSC, PTSBI, SBBI, SBI, SBIP, SBPR AND SSBI.
4.  THE NACLC AND NACI DO NOT ALLOW FOR PIECEMEAL ADJUDICATION AS INDICATED IN REF C, PARAGRAPH 3C.  FOLLOWING SUBMISSION OF THE REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION, COMMANDS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF COMPLETION ONLY THROUGH JPAS.  IF ISSUES EXIST WHICH PREVENT FAVORABLE ADJUDICATION,, "NO DETERMINATION MADE" WILL BE ENTERED INTO JPAS AND THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE SUBMITTING COMMAND FOR FINAL DETERMINATION.
5.  THE PUBLIC TRUST/IT FEATURE OF JPAS WILL BE UTILIZED TO RECORD THE LEVEL OF LOGICAL ACCESS PROVIDED TO CONTRACTORS.
6.  COMMANDERS ARE TO DISSEMINATE THIS INFORMATION TO ALL MARINES, CIVILIAN MARINES, AND CONTRACTORS UNDER THEIR COGNIZANCE.
