    Needs and Uses: The National Defense University (NDU) Security 
Office is responsible for ensuring personnel and facility security in 
all situations involving NDU employees. This includes ensuring that an 
appropriate background investigation is completed and favorably 
adjudicated in accordance with 32 CFR 156.6--Common access card (CAC) 
investigation and adjudication. It is also necessary for the NDU 
Security Office to process visit clearance certification for NDU 
employees that are visiting outside agencies/components facilities 
involving access to, or disclosure of, classified information. In 
accordance with DoDM 5200.01, volume 3 and DoDD 5230.20 at a minimum, 
data is required to identify an individual, personnel security 
clearance, access (if appropriate), and need to know for all visitors.

personnel (military, civilians, contractors, and foreign partners 
assigned to the colleges and centers within NDU's area of 
responsibility). In accordance with HSPD-12 and FIPS 201, the data 
provided is necessary to process Personal Identity Verification (PIV) 
credentials to personnel seeking physical access to federally-
controlled government facilities. The three forms included in this 
collection package--the NDU eQIP Nomination Form, NDU Visit Request 
Form, and NDU Security In-Process Form--facilitate each of these 
processes, respectively. Respondents to this collection are National 
Defense University employees who must provide information to the NDU 
Security Office to facilitate essential personnel, facility, and 
information security functions. This includes information necessary to
