T F.2: Name Checking
Modernize the FBI’s National Name Check Program. Other Information:
The National Name Check Program is the FBI’s system to provide information on individuals from FBI records to other federal
agencies, congressional committees, intelligence agencies and other agencies that need this information to support their mission.
The program historically conducted an average of 2.4 million name checks annually; however, an increased emphasis on homeland
security has resulted in an exponential increase in requests. It is anticipated that the number of requests will continue
to increase over the next five years at a rapid rate. Hence, the FBI must achieve dramatic improvements in the National Name
Check Program to meet customer demands. This can only be achieved through information technology and improved processes. Priority
Actions: Increase coordination with customer agencies to fully automate the process. As part of the FBI’s information technology
modernization efforts, upgrade the name check application to increase accuracy and speed.
