Notices for Policies, Systems & Processes

The DCSA’s predecessor, the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB), issued Federal Investigations Notices (FIN) to inform the investigations community of changes in the investigation process, to clarify policy, or to announce upcoming events. There was no regular schedule for FIN issuances.
