RMKS/1.  This message informs Department of the Navy (DON) personnel that the 
Department of Defense (DoD) Continuous Evaluation Concept Demonstration 
(CECD), announced by reference (a), has ended and the DoD Continuous 
Evaluation Program (CEP) is active pursuant to references (b) and (c).  As an 
active program, DoD CEP will use automated records checks (ARC) of 
authoritative data from DoD, other government, and commercial sources to 
review the backgrounds of individuals who have been determined eligible for 
access to classified information or assignment or retention in a sensitive 
position (including additional or new checks of commercial databases, 
government databases, and other information lawfully available to security 
officials) at any time during the period of eligibility to determine whether 
those individuals continue to meet the requirements for eligibility for 
access to classified information or assignment or retention in a sensitive 
position.

2.  As a result of the Washington Navy Yard shootings and other events, the 
Secretary of Defense directed that DoD accelerate deployment of CE.  At the 
end of the CECD, per reference (b), DoD decided to transition to the DoD CEP.  
The DoD CE system is now processing over 225,000 randomly selected DoD 
personnel with security eligibility.  The number of personnel evaluated in 
the CE system will increase over time until all DoD eligible personnel are 
included in the program.

3.  Potential derogatory information discovered during CEP will be compiled 
into a CE report and forwarded to DON Commanders and supervisors through 
normal security channels.  Commanders will review CE reports and take action 
following the procedures stated in reference (e).  In addition to the 
guidance issued in reference (e), A Commanders Guide to Incident Reporting is 
available at: http://www.secnav.navy.mil/dusnp/Security/Pages/Default.aspx.

4.  ARC includes regular checks of information from credit reporting 
agencies.  Individuals may receive a notification from one of the credit 
reporting agencies that a credit check was requested from the Defense 
Manpower Data Center.

5.  In accordance with reference (d), the Command Security Management Office 
(SMO) will take the following actions if a CE notification is received in the 
Case Adjudication Tracking System (CATS):
    a.  The SMO will receive a notification in the CATS portal
    workflow that a new subject record requires action.
    b.  The SMO must inform the appropriate Commander/supervisor of
    the CE report, annotate the subject record in the CATS portal with
    the Commanders determination to either suspend or continue to allow
    classified access or assignment or retention in a sensitive position
    based on the information received in the CE report and any other
    local information that pertains, and attach any supporting
    documentation that is available.
    c.  SMOs are expected to follow their local incident report (IR)
    procedures, in accordance with reference (e), input a follow-on or
    final IR in JPAS that provides as much detail as possible, and take
    appropriate action regarding the subjects access.
    d.  SMOs will be unable to delete or modify information reported
    in the CE report and may not provide a printed copy of the CE report
    to the subject.
    e.  Once the SMO updates JPAS and the subjects record in the CATS
    portal, the CE report information is then available in CATS allowing
    the DoD Central Adjudication Facility (DoD CAF) the ability to make
    the appropriate eligibility determination.

6.  All commands shall hold and maintain CATS accounts.  Commands shall 
request CATS accounts through their Echelon II Security Manager, and Echelon 
II Security Managers shall register and train subordinate commands per 
reference (d).

7.  CE reports for contractors will be sent to the Defense Security Service 
and, if applicable, the supporting Sensitive Compartment Information Security 
Management Office.

8.  The point of contact for this effort is Ms. Shirley Maddox-Stubbs, 
Personnel Security Deputy Branch Chief, Security Directorate, DUSN(P), 
shirley.maddoxstubbs@navy.mil.

9. Released by the Honorable Janine A. Davidson, Acting Secretary of the 
Navy.//
