The following are procedures for requesting interim access to SCI in accordance with DCID 6/4:

Utilize JPAS to request interim SCI access. A request for interim SCI should be submitted only when there is an emergency or urgent operational requirement that necessitates indoctrination prior to the completion of the required investigation and the individual meets DCID 6/4 standards.

When submitting a priority request for interim SCI access, you must clearly identify that is a priority non-routine requirement with a detailed justification for priority handling. You must include the results of the review of forms, or pre-screening interview (include all potentially disqualifying information); advise if there are any foreign born immediate family members, or immediate family members who claim a dual nationality. Refer to BANIF 034-05 for this requirement.

Include a “not later than” (NLT) date if SCI access is required by a specific date. Be realistic in your request. Commands should not conduct tracer follow-up via telephone unless your NLT date is within three days or 180 days has passed from your initial request date. JPAS will reflect whether your request was approved or disapproved. If additional information is needed, we will provide you with instructions.
