Instructions
The information collected on this form is used to determine your acceptability for Federal and Federal contract employment and your

process. Follow instructions that the agency provides. If you are selected, before you are appointed you will be asked to update
your responses on this form and on other materials submitted during the application process and then to recertify that your answers
are true.
All your answers must be truthful and complete. A false statement on any part of this declaration or attached forms or sheets
may be grounds for not hiring you, or for firing you after you begin work. Also, you may be punished by a fine or
imprisonment (U.S. Code, title 18, section 1001).
Either type your responses on this form or print clearly in dark ink. If you need additional space, attach letter-size sheets (8.5" X 11").
Include your name, Social Security Number, and item number on each sheet. We recommend that you keep a photocopy of your
completed form for your records.
Privacy Act Statement
The Office of Personnel Management is authorized to request this information under sections 1302, 3301, 3304, 3328, and 8716 of
title 5, U. S. Code. Section 1104 of title 5 allows the Office of Personnel Management to delegate personnel management functions
to other Federal agencies. If necessary, and usually in conjunction with another form or forms, this form may be used in conducting
an investigation to determine your suitability or your ability to hold a security clearance, and it may be disclosed to authorized officials
making similar, subsequent determinations.
Your Social Security Number (SSN) is needed to keep our records accurate, because other people may have the same name and
birth date. Public Law 104-134 (April 26, 1996) asks Federal agencies to use this number to help identify individuals in agency
records. Giving us your SSN or any other information is voluntary. However, if you do not give us your SSN or any other information
requested, we cannot process your application. Incomplete addresses and ZIP Codes may also slow processing.
ROUTINE USES: Any disclosure of this record or information in this record is in accordance with routine uses found in System
Notice OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records. This system allows disclosure of information to: training facilities; organizations
deciding claims for retirement, insurance, unemployment, or health benefits; officials in litigation or administrative proceedings where
the Government is a party; law enforcement agencies concerning a violation of law or regulation; Federal agencies for statistical
reports and studies; officials of labor organizations recognized by law in connection with representation of employees; Federal
