GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE DON IS CURRENTLY FACING A PERSONNEL SECURITY
INVESTIGATION (PSI) BUDGET SHORTFALL DUE TO THE FISCAL YEAR 13
CONTINUING RESOLUTION (CR) AND SEQUESTRATION WILL FURTHER EXASERBATE
THE SITUATION. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED IN REFS B AND C ARE INTENDED TO
SLOW THE PSI PROGRAM'S EXECUTION RATE AND PREPARE FOR A YEAR-LONG CR
AND/OR SEQUESTRATION WHILE ENSURING PERSONNEL REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR
NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS. THOUGH THE MARINE CORPS CONTINUES TO
BE GOOD STEWARDS OF DON RESOURCES, WE MUST REEVALUATE REQUIREMENTS
AND REDUCE SUBMISSIONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
2. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AND UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, NON-MISSION
CRITICAL PSI SUBMISSIONS ARE PROHIBITED. MARINE CORPS COMMANDS WILL
REVIEW ALL PSI SUBMISSIONS TO ENSURE THEY SUPPORT A MISSION CRITICAL
REQUIREMENT. HQMC GUIDANCE WILL BE ISSUED PRIOR TO THE END OF THE

SUBMISSIONS.
2A. PERIODIC REINVESTIGATIONS (PR) WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED UNLESS THE
INDIVIDUAL REQUIRES AND CURRENTLY HAS ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION AT THE LEVEL OF CURRENT ELIGIBILITY IN SUPPORT OF
ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION REQUIREMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, COMMANDS WILL
NOT SUBMIT REQUESTS FOR INVESTGATION IN ANTICIPATION OF REQUIREMENTS
THAT DO NOT YET EXIST. FURTHER, DO NOT SUBMIT A PR FOR A MARINE IN A
"B" BILLET NOT REQUIRING ACCESS EVEN THOUGH HE/SHE MAY HAVE AN MOS
WHICH REQUIRES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF ELIGIBILITY.
2B. MARINES IN OCCFLDS WITH AN ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT WILL BE
ALLOWED TO REENLIST REGARDLESS OF AGE OF INVESTIGATION AS LONG AS
THERE IS NO BREAK IN SERVICE OF GREATER THAN TWO YEARS, DEROGATORY

REQUIREMENT.

DUTY,OR SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT WITH A CLEARANCE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT;
THE NATIONAL AGENCY CHECK WITH INQUIRIES (NACI) AND, IF ACCESS TO
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IS REQUIRED, ACCESS NACI (ANACI) FOR NEW DON
CIVILIAN HIRES. AS A REMINDER, THOSE NEW CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES WHO
REQUIRE ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AND HAVE CURRENT ELIGIBILITY
BASED ON A NACLC FROM MILITARY SERVICE OR TIME AS A CONTRACTOR ONLY
REQUIRE THE NACI TO RETAIN ELIGIBILITY FOR ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED
MATERIAL; A HIGHER LEVEL
INVESTIGATION IS AUTHORIZED FOR INDIVIDUALS DIRECTLY SUPPORTING OR IN
RECEIPT OF ORDERS TO DEPLOY IN SUPPORT OF OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY
OPERATIONS.
4. WHILE COMMANDS MAY DECIDE TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION BASED ON
THESE CONDITIONS, THEY ARE DIRECTED TO SUBMIT ALL REINVESTIGATIONS AS

CORRECT LEVEL TO SUPPORT THE CURRENT MISSION. COMMANDERS AND
SUPERVISORS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE AMOUNT OF RISK IN EACH CASE AND
MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THOSE RISK FACTORS.
