About OPM SF 85P
There will be no change in applicability to employees of the Department of Justice. The SF 85P includes an expanded definition of involuntary commitment. It identifies involuntary commitment as a treatment or confinement that (i) involves an imminent risk of serious harm to self or others, (ii) is caused by the willful conduct of the respondent under circumstances justifying severe and persistent mental suffering, and (iii) is without sufficient legal basis. The proposed language will provide the means to require the respondent to undergo evaluation and treatment if an evaluation or treatment is indicated. The definition of treatment requires the use of the term “treatment,” rather than simply “complements,” “supports,” or “supports and supplements.” However, the proposed definition of treatment provides no definition of “continuing treatment,” thus the amendment of this definition is unnecessary. The definition would also expand the definition of involuntary commitment to include any action that (i) involves the intentional or knowing use of physical force against oneself or that results in substantial mental harm to oneself or another, (ii) results in substantial danger to others or the significant deterioration of the person's physical or mental condition if continued, or (iii) is associated with such conduct as to pose significant risk of substantial harm to a person or of substantial risk of death for a person. There is no evidence that the Federal Government has used the definition of involuntary commitment, as currently written, to determine for whom it would maintain a prohibition on firearms in the Federal facility. The amendment to the SF 85P-S will eliminate the need to report mental health questions as a risk factor in the pre-merger selection or subsequent background investigations of individuals for positions in which firearms are prohibited. This new language in the SF 85P will be based on the information available to the Office of Personnel Management at the time the form is applied and will ensure that the Government will consider appropriate evidence of risk of violence in the pre-merger selection process and in subsequent background investigations of other individuals for which the SF 85P is used. In applying the proposed standard as a general matter, it is not intended that the Department of Justice would have discretion to prohibit firearms or require special treatment for an adverse mental health or other medical condition. Rather, the proposed standard, should it be adopted, is intended to ensure that these individuals are screened for the appropriate position or are otherwise excluded from any public agency position that is potentially exposed to guns, such as law enforcement and the military.

FAQ - OPM Sf 85p
What is the purpose of OPM Sf 85p?
The OPM Sf 85p (Special Duty Officer), or SDO-85P, is meant to support a full-time career leader in the highest echelons of intelligence at home and abroad. The SDO will provide operational service in order to support the National Intelligence Program: the nation's total intelligence capabilities.
Does the SDO fulfill both SO and SDO capabilities?
Yes. The SDO works with SO agents to support the National Intelligence Program under which all the U.S. intelligence gathering and analysis are carried out.
How did the SDO evolve?
There is evidence that the SDO was the first SO in the 1940s. It evolved into a full time career SO in the 1950s. Then SOS were allowed to assist the National Analysis Staff in a limited fashion as needed. In 1978, SO positions were removed from the National Analysis Staff (NSA) and designated the OPM.
How and when did NSA reorganize its staff? Was the SDO created to do its jobs, or do you have to be trained as a SO?
The SDO was created by legislation in October 1977 and was authorized by the Congress in April 1979.
What are the SDO's responsibilities?
An SDO is in effect one of the top 10 analysts in the Intelligence Community responsible for producing high-value data on a wide variety of national- and commercial-related issues. This has evolved into intelligence analysis that is directed at understanding the capabilities and intentions of foreign countries, non-state groups and individuals; understanding the sources and activities of foreign intelligence; assessing the ability of the United States to implement its policy with respect to particular national-security issues; evaluating the use of foreign policy as a lever to achieve policy ends and the extent to which these policy objectives are being followed; and providing policy and program evaluations and assessments to support policy decisions.
What are the duties of an SDO?
The SDO acts as the SO for the Intelligence Community and has primary responsibility for making recommendations on intelligence activities, particularly those related to national security.
How does an SDO make recommendations to an intelligence director?
The National Intelligence Program's National Intelligence Priorities Committee (NPC), a joint committee composed primarily of non-intelligence agencies, advises the Director of the Office of Management and Budget on NPC priorities and issues.

Can I be exempted from this requirement?
Yes. Participants who have taken the online course, but do not have transcripts sent by the deadline may complete a separate OPM Sf 85p online course. Participants who have not completed any OPM Sf 85p online courses but must complete the full 84-day course may complete the entire OPM Sf 85p online course online. Additionally, participants with an out-of-state transcripts may complete only OPM Sf 85p online course.
Can I get a waiver?
Yes. Individuals or institutions receiving federal funds who would be unable to complete the Sf 85 Program through any other means may submit a written request to OPM for a waiver for these program requirements. (Visit student records to find out if you are eligible for a waiver.)
Is an OPM Sf 85p online course required for a career technical education program?

What are the different types of OPM Sf 85p?
These are the main types of Sf 85p, based on your use:
Single Piece: This is the smallest of the different types of Sf 85p. You just remove the cover from the cartridge itself, and it can be used like a regular cartridge. It has a short cartridge life of around 30,000 shots. You can find one of these in most gun stores.
The cover can also be used with the regular cartridge, but its performance is much the same as it is with the Sf 85p. Its shorter life is due to the fact that the cartridge has a shorter life when used with the Sf 85p, than that of the older Type 86 cartridge.
Dual Piece: This is a newer cartridge for the Sf 85p. Like the single piece, it has dual springs, though they're slightly different from the two used to make a single piece. On a dual piece, the springs actually are mounted inside the cartridge. So it can use one of the cartridges or the OLD, at the same time!
This is an interesting cartridge that has a good range for a pocket pistol, and a small capacity when compared to the other two. The dual piece has a standard cartridge length, but can also use a long or short OLD.
The dual piece is also available in a short Sf 85p cartridge that has a smaller cartridge length of 5.8 mm with a 7.8g, which also works with both the Type 86, and the OLD cartridge. This will give it a lower range for the single and the dual combination.
Single Piece and Dual Piece Pouches: The other two types of Sf 85p have cartridges that you can put in either the Sf 85p Single Piece or Dual. For the single piece, the cartridge is held in the pouch like a clip. The cover itself can be removed, and it can be used with any other cartridge. In fact, it can actually be used with all the Sf 85p's types of cartridges. So, when you buy a Sf 85p from a retailer you can use any pouch that they carry.
The Sf 85p Dual Pouch is a more functional pouch, with a built-in holder for your pistol, as well as a spring clip for the standard OLD as well as an OLD in your pocket.
How many people fill out OPM Sf 85p each year?
As of November 2 of each year, the FAR is adjusted to account for the additional payroll tax on income up through 130,000 (or 10% of annual income) per FAR, or 60 per hour if work was performed on a full-time basis (not including weekend and holiday work). For individuals with income from wages and salaries, the amount paid through the FAR is also affected by a 2.9% Social Security Tax added to each paycheck. OPM employees are not subject to a Social Security tax.
What do OPM employees receive in the FAR each year?
The FAR for the 2015 tax year (Oct 1, 2015 to Sep 30, 2016) is 2,788.72. As of November 2, however, it increased by 0.28 per hour to 2,809.04. Employees earning less than 90,000 are automatically eligible for overtime. The FAR is adjusted to the employee's wage and salary schedule each year.
The FAR for the 2012 tax year (Oct 1, 2012 to Sept 30, 2013) is adjusted to account for 1.4 cents more pay per hour worked. Additional pay is calculated using a formula developed by the Government Finance Officers Association.
What happens if I don't use the federal employee discount in payroll taxes?
Employers must pay employees a minimum of 2.60 per paycheck unless employees qualify for the federal employee discount. For those who qualify under federal rules, their payroll taxes will cost their employers an additional 0.3% of what employees take in wage and salary.
How will the OPM pay increase affect me under Social Security and Medicare taxes?
The FAR adds 1.9% to pay for Social Security and Medicare. In 2014, OPM employees receive a total of 3,039.60 in benefits each year. That amounts to an additional 5.62 in payroll taxes for each worker each year.
How will the federal employee discount in the OPM Payroll Tax Affect Me?
If a federal employee is an employee of a non-Federal agency, the FEES employee discount is applied to her or his pay and the additional FAR is added to her/his paycheck at the beginning of each month.
If a federal employee is a non-Federal agency employee, the FEES employee discount is applied only to wages and salaries.
Is there a due date for OPM Sf 85p?
The deadline and the amount of the fee, will be notified in January 2018 and the process will begin shortly thereafter.
Do you currently have an OPM Sf 85p online?
No, we do not currently have Sf 85p. We are actively reviewing the implementation of the OPM Sf 85p policy to determine whether this is the right policy for our organization and our clients.
Is the cost for a Sf 85p in BC based on the amount of tax due?
No, there is no BC tax and the fee is based on the amount of tax payable by businesses.
Will the Sf 85p application be refundable to the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) if I file late?
The OPM Sf 85p application will normally not be refundable to the CRA. You should expect the Sf 85p fee will be paid in full by the employer or self-employed taxpayer and is not refundable by the CRA.
Will the Sf 85p application be refundable to the Canadian government if I don't complete it within 5 yrs?
No, you will have to wait until the OPM Sf 85p is finalized. You should be prepared to wait several months to receive a refund.
Is there an application fee or a Sf 85p application fee in other provinces?
There are no Sf 85p fee fees for the province of Quebec. For the province of Nova Scotia, there is a 3% penalty for filing late, and you may be eligible for a refund if you file tax return before the due date of the Sf 85p application.
Does the fee for the tax return of the OPM Sf 85p application in another province have to be paid within 5 yrs. In order to receive the refund?
No, all provincial fees have to be paid by the employer or self-employed individual taxpayer. The Sf 85p application and the refund will be issued jointly by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) and the government of the province in which the business is situated.
What if the Sf85p application is sent to the wrong province?
The mistake on the mailing may be resolved with the return if a return that the person receiving it is eligible for is opened, and the taxpayer correctly enters all applicable information.
