Submission of Requests for Periodic Reinvestigations (PR)

1.  REF A mandates a two-fold effort regarding the submission of Periodic Reinvestigations (PR) to support initiatives designed to reduce the current backlog of background investigations at the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB).  Specific DOD and DON level guidance listed in REF A has been provided to security management personnel via email and the HQMC PP and O PSS blog.<br>
2.  In summary, all PRs which are due will be completed in the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (eQIP) as previously directed.  Those PRs which have potentially disqualifying information will be submitted via eQIP and worked as a standard investigation.  Those PRs which are found to be clear of all potentially disqualifying information, as defined by the DOD policy discussed in paragraph 1, will be submitted to the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) for inclusion in the Continuous Evaluation/ Continuous Vetting (CE/CV) process.  The only offices allowed to submit the PRs to DMDC have been specifically identified by this office and the authorized submitters names have been provided to DMDC. Submissions by unauthorized personnel will be rejected.<br>
3.  If future operations tempo or personnel changes dictate a change to the authorized submitter names, those changes must be submitted to this office for approval and subsequent submission to DMDC.<br>
4.  Certain programs still require the completion of the standard PR and are not suitable for inclusion in the deferment process at this time.  Command Security Managers and Special Security Officers (SSO) responsible for such programs have been informed of this requirement and will execute the PRs.<br>
5.  This guidance, and the backlog it is designed to reduce, reinforce the requirement that unnecessary investigations not be initiated.<br>
6.  Release authorized by Mr. Randy R. Smith, Assistant Deputy Commandant, Plans, Policies and Operations, Security Division.
