Federal Times: The new National Background Investigations Bureau – which will serve as the central clearinghouse for screening current and prospective federal employees for security clearances – will be officially stood up on Oct. 1 with a new director and new operational offices.
After hackers were able to breach the Office of Personnel Management networks hosting background information on some 21.5 million Americans, the administration moved to create NBIB as a replacement for the Federal Investigative Services. Rather than just a cosmetic change, the new bureau will be integrated with the Department of Defense – which will take the lead on network security – and work closely with law enforcement to access necessary criminal histories.
