The HSPD-12 Sponsor acts on behalf of the Department to request LincPass credentials for USDA Applicants (employees, contractors, or affiliates). Depending on the Applicant’s employment status, a Sponsor may be a federal supervisor, contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or other federal official.
All Sponsors must complete the web-based HSPD-12 Sponsor training (either EmpowHR Sponsor or USAccess Sponsor training), be certified and designated by a Role Admin, and be sponsored before beginning HSPD-12 responsibilities.
- Determine if an Applicant needs a LincPass utilizing the Risk Assessment
- Sponsor the Applicant by entering their sponsorship information into EmpowHR, Payroll Personell, NEIS, or other authoritative HR System.
- Determine if Applicants already have favorably adjudicated background investigations via OPM for employees or through prior agency HR or Security offices for contractors.
- Set up Applicant for a USDA accepted background investigation process, or review the Applicant’s SF-85, SF 85P or SF-86, Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions, and OF-306, Declaration for Federal Employment if they do not already have a BI on file.
- Modify Applicant’s record in the authoritative HR system based on updates to biographic information or employment status.
- Suspend, reactivate, or revoke a LincPass via an employment status change in the appropriate authoritative HR system.
