Industry investigations delayed due to government shutdown

As a result of the lapse in appropriations, Personnel Security Management Office for Industry (PSMO-I) does not have the capability to approve authorization and release/submit investigation requests to be scheduled until a budget or continuing resolution (CR) is passed.  

This impact will cause a delay in processing new investigations and making Interim determinations, once operations under a CR or budget resolution resume.  

All other functions of PSMO-I will continue. Industry may continue to submit investigations and fingerprints as normal.  PSMO-I will process these requests in the order they were received once the government shutdown concludes and appropriations are approved. 

Industry investigations pending before the government shutdown will continue.
