Summary of Information Collection

    Respondents are NGA employees, military and contractor personnel 
who provide personal and professional information to the agency to 
conduct a polygraph examination. NGA Polygraph Records System is the 
central system for agency personnel to maintain and, where necessary, 
disseminate employee information to ensure integrity in the polygraph 
examination process, document polygraph results, assist with security 
eligibility determinations and employment or assignment suitability 
decisions in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and guidance, 
and to assist with investigations into possible violations of NGA rules 
and regulations, including the possible loss or compromise of 
classified or protected NGA information. Without the system, NGA would 
not be able to perform personnel security activities resulting in not 
being able to protect agency assets, conduct mission-related activities 
protecting national security.
