Issue Mitigation Handbook explains how unfavorable suitability and security issues can be mitigated. Proper issue mitigation is not only critical to ultimately obtaining a federal clearance; in many cases it can result in the granting of an interim clearance and reduce the time it takes to get a final clearance. All three major federal personnel security programs are covered in this book with explanations of the procedures, investigations, and adjudicative standards. Sample SOR, LOD, NOPA, and affidavit forms, as well as reference materials, case citations, and rebuttal, hearing, and appeal instructions are included.
Security Clearance Manual is an indispensable guide for security clearance applicants, personnel security specialists and military recruiters.
