investigation of background of PSC personnel by the contractor, 
verifying that such personnel are not prohibited under U.S. law (18 
U.S.C. 922) to possess firearms or ammunition.

    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are contract companies and their respective individual 
Private Security Contractor personnel who must verify that they are not 
prohibited under U.S. law from possessing firearms. A signed statement 
is included as part of the arming authorization packet. If the 
validation is not included in the arming authorization package, 
individuals reviewing the package and approving the arming 
authorization cannot be readily assured of the qualifications of the 
individual requesting arming authorization. Establishing that 
contractors providing armed security are qualified is essential to 
insure capable force protection is provided to meet national security 
imperatives.
