Summary: The Trump administration is considering some big changes to the security clearance program and the agency that manages and oversees it. Discussions are in the works to move the entire governmentwide security clearance program from the Office of Personnel Management and National Background Investigations Bureau to the Pentagon. Another key OPM program could also move. Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to explain that the moves could have major impacts on OPM's financial stability and on the structure of the agency.
