investigations as identified in reference (a).  Effective immediately, 
Department of the Navy (DON) Security Offices will use the below products to

    a.  Case type Tier 1 National Agency Check and Inquiries (NACI),
    (Case Type
Code - 02B), is requested for positions designated as low risk, non -
sensitive, and for physical and/or logical access.  Tier 1 NACI, requested on 
Standard Form (SF) 85, is the minimum level of investigation required for a 
final credentialing determination for physical and/or logical access.  The 
Revised Finger Print Card, SF 87 or electronic fingerprints, a resume or 
equivalent, and an Optional Form 306, (Declaration for Federal Employment), 
must be included with the investigation request.
    b.  Case type Tier 3, (Case Type Code - 64B), is the initial
    investigation
used for positions designated as non-critical sensitive and/or requiring 
eligibility for access to confidential or secret information.  The Tier 3, 
requested on SF 86, is the minimum background investigation required for all 
military personnel, as well as civilians or contractors who occupy a non-
critical sensitive position or have access to classified information.  The SF 
87 or electronic fingerprints, are required for military personnel.  A resume 
or equivalent, an Optional Form 306, and SF 87 or electronic fingerprints, 
must be included for civilians and contractors.
    c.  Case type Tier 3R, (Case Type Code - 65B), is requested if

reinvestigation for military, civilian and contractor personnel who occupy 
non-critical sensitive positions or require access to classified information.  
The submission of SF 87 or electronic fingerprints is required, if previous 
results are not on file at OPM.
    d.  A Tier 3 investigation must be submitted for military
    personnel who retire or
separate from the military and become employed as a federal civil servant as 
a first time employee, unless the member was previously subject to a Single 
Scope Background Investigation.
