all situations involving NDU employees. This includes ensuring that an 
appropriate background investigation is completed and favorably

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)

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
