Bush administration officials want to have a plan in place to automate most aspects of the security clearance process by the time a new administration arrives.
The plan, announced Thursday, calls for a system that will accept online clearance applications, perform automated records checks, approve or deny some clearances using automated tools, and use automation to find red flags in applicants’ background files and better target where field investigators focus their attention, Clay Johnson, deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget, said Thursday.
