What must the employer's written request describe in the Customs Access Seal application?

• A. The duties that the applicant will perform while in the Customs Security Area
• B. The applicant's salary
• C. The applicant's social security number
• D. The color of the uniform

Answer: (A)

Describing the duties in the written request ensures access is limited to what is necessary for the job. By outlining the exact tasks the applicant will perform in the Customs Security Area, security reviewers can determine the appropriate level of access, establish the scope of the seal, and apply the principle of least privilege so nothing beyond those duties is granted. This description also helps set expectations for supervision, duration of access, and which areas or systems may be involved.

Details like salary, social security number, or uniform color do not influence the authorization decision. Salary is unrelated to access rights, the social security number is handled through separate identity and background checks, and uniform color has no bearing on the need-to-know access required for the duties.
