Which statement best describes E.O. 13764?

• B. Establishes loyalty to the United States for government employees
• C. Transfers background investigations to the Department of Defense
• D. Defines the four position sensitivity levels

Answer: (A)

Executive Order 13764 is about updating how the federal government handles security clearances and related credentialing across agencies. It amends two earlier orders—13467 and 13488—and modernizes governance for security clearances, suitability and fitness for employment, and credentialing, along with related matters. In other words, it aims to create a more integrated, coordinated, and accountable framework for background investigations and the overall clearance process, rather than establishing loyalty pledges, transferring investigations to a single department, or defining specific sensitivity levels.
