Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
---|---|---|
Office of Personnel Management | The Director, OPM, should provide the investigative activity authority to hire and maintain an investigator staff at levels which would improve the timeliness of background investigations and reduce the backlog to a manageable level. |
Closed – Implemented
OPM requested and received authorization from OMB to increase staff levels during FY 1990. Because of these staff increases, some decrease in backlogs has occurred. However, timeliness is still a significant problem. GAO is conducting a followup review to determine if additional OPM action is necessary, consequently, follow-up on this report is no longer required.
