Agency heads must assess each position covered by this part within the agency using the standards set forth in this regulation as well as guidance provided in OPM issuances to determine whether changes in position sensitivity designations are necessary within 24 months of July 6, 2015.
Where the sensitivity designation of the position is changed, and requires a higher level of investigation than was previously required for the position,
The agency must initiate the investigation no later than 14 working days after the change in designation; and
The agency will determine whether the incumbent's retention in sensitive duties pending the outcome of the investigation is consistent with the national security.
Agencies may provide advance notice of the redesignation of a position to allow time for completion of the forms, releases, and other information needed from the incumbent to initiate the investigation.
Agencies may request an extension, pursuant to guidance issued jointly by OPM and ODNI, of the timeframe for redesignation of positions or initiation of reinvestigations, if justified by severe staffing, budgetary, or information technology constraints, or emergency circumstances.
