        are treated consistently in the security clearance process 
        across agencies and departments of the United States as 
        compared to employees of such agencies and departments. Such 
        policy shall address--
                    (A) prioritization of processing security 
                clearances based on the mission the contractors will be 
                performing;
                    (B) standardization in the forms that agencies 
                issue to initiate the process for a security clearance;

                the ``National Security Adjudicative Guidelines'');
                    (F) reciprocal recognition of clearances across 
                agencies and departments of the United States, 
                regardless of status of periodic reinvestigation;
                    (G) tracking of clearance files as individuals move 
                from employment with an agency or department of the 
                United States to employment in the private sector;
                    (H) collection of timelines for movement of 
                contractors across agencies and departments;
                    (I) reporting on security incidents and job 
                performance, consistent with section 552a of title 5, 
                United States Code (commonly known as the ``Privacy Act 
                of 1974''), that may affect the ability to hold a 
                security clearance;
                    (J) any recommended changes to the Federal 
                Acquisition Regulations (FAR) necessary to ensure that 
                information affecting contractor clearances or 
                suitability is appropriately and expeditiously shared 
                between and among agencies and contractors; and
                    (K) portability of contractor security clearances 
                between or among contracts at the same agency and 
                between or among contracts at different agencies that 
                require the same level of clearance.
            (3) A strategy and implementation plan that--
                    (A) provides for periodic reinvestigations as part 
                of a security clearance determination only on an as-
                needed, risk-based basis;

                evaluation methods may be used to expedite or focus 
                reinvestigations; and
                    (C) provides an exception for certain populations 
                if the Security Executive Agent--
                            (i) determines such populations require 
                        reinvestigations at regular intervals; and
                            (ii) provides written justification to the 
                        appropriate congressional committees for any 
                        such determination.
            (4) A policy and implementation plan for agencies and 
        departments of the United States, as a part of the security 
        clearance process, to accept automated records checks generated 
        pursuant to a security clearance applicant's employment with a 
        prior employer.
            (5) A policy for the use of certain background materials on 
        individuals collected by the private sector for background 
        investigation purposes.
            (6) Uniform standards for agency continuous evaluation 
        programs to ensure quality and reciprocity in accepting 
        enrollment in a continuous vetting program as a substitute for 
        a periodic investigation for continued access to classified 
        information.

means reciprocal recognition by Federal departments and agencies of 
eligibility for access to classified information.
    (b) In General.--The Council shall reform the security clearance 
process with the objective that, by December 31, 2021, 90 percent of 
all determinations, other than determinations regarding populations 
identified under section 603(b)(3)(C), regarding--
            (1) security clearances--
                    (A) at the secret level are issued in 30 days or 
                fewer; and
                    (B) at the top secret level are issued in 90 days 
                or fewer; and
            (2) reciprocity of security clearances at the same level 
        are recognized in 2 weeks or fewer.
    (c) Certain Reinvestigations.--The Council shall reform the 
security clearance process with the goal that by December 31, 2021, 
reinvestigation on a set periodicity is not required for more than 10 
percent of the population that holds a security clearance.
    (d) Equivalent Metrics.--
            (1) In general.--If the Council develops a set of 
        performance metrics that it certifies to the appropriate 
        congressional committees should achieve substantially 
        equivalent outcomes as those outlined in subsections (b) and 
        (c), the Council may use those metrics for purposes of 
        compliance within this provision.
            (2) Notice.--If the Council uses the authority provided by 
        paragraph (1) to use metrics as described in such paragraph, 
        the Council shall, not later than 30 days after communicating 
        such metrics to departments and agencies, notify the 
        appropriate congressional committees that it is using such 
        authority.
    (e) Plan.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Council shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees and make available to appropriate industry partners a plan 
to carry out this section. Such plan shall include recommended interim 
milestones for the goals set forth in subsections (b) and (c) for 2019,
