What is this clearance document?
A directory of the forms and notices that appear in a security clearance case. Search by form number or by a phrase from the page in front of you. Each entry says what the document is, whether it is something you normally see, and where the description comes from.
Many of these are routine processing notices between agencies rather than decisions about you. For the correspondence in a contested case — the interrogatory, the Statement of Reasons, the hearing notice, the decision and the appeal — see correspondence in a DOHA case, which covers those in more depth.

What arrives when the answer is provisionally no, and what governs the process that follows.
You normally see or sign this.
A written set of questions put to the individual, used at Energy as an alternative to a personal security interview. Note the terminology trap: in Defense personnel security "LOI" normally means Letter of Intent, which is a different document at a different stage. DOHA’s equivalent instrument is called written interrogatories.
What you do: Answer in writing, completely and consistently with what is already on file. Inconsistency between an answer here and the questionnaire is itself a concern.
Also called: letter of interrogatory, LOI, interrogatory, written interrogatories
