Fingerprint Charts; SF 87; OMB Control Number: 0705-0002.
    Needs and Uses: The SF 87 is a fingerprint card, which is utilized 
to conduct a national criminal history check, which is a component of 
the background investigation. The SF 87 is completed by applicants who 
are under consideration for Federal employment; by Federal employees, 
to determine whether they should be retained in such employment; by 
individuals being considered to perform work for the Federal Government 
under a Government contract or to continue such work; and by persons 
seeking long-term access to Federal facilities and systems. The SF 87 
fingerprint chart is used in background investigations to help 
establish facts required to determine, for example, whether the subject 
of the investigation should be adjudicated to be eligible for logical 
and physical access to Government facilities and systems; suitable or 
fit for Federal employment; fit to perform work on behalf of the 
Federal Government under a Government contract; eligible to hold a 
position that is sensitive for national security reasons; or eligible 
for access to classified information. The SF 87 form is utilized only 
when a hardcopy fingerprint chart must be obtained, as opposed to the 
electronic collection of fingerprints.
