Given today ’ s mobile and global society , it may not be possible to obtain complete criminal background information on an individual apart from his / her own complete and honest disclosure . In the event that the USASF later discovers that the information provided by the Applicant in this review process was incomplete or inaccurate , then the USASF has the non-exclusive option of withdrawing any acceptance granted to the Applicant on the basis of falsification of the application .
B . Should the Applicant ’ s background screening return flagged , the Applicant will receive a notice informing them of such Flagged Screening . The notice will provide the Applicant with instructions by which to request a waiver and apply to appeal the determination . The Applicant must follow the instructions on the Flagged Screening Notice within 60 days of the date of the Notice ; otherwise , the Applicant will be denied Membership . If the Applicant determines they would like to move forward with Membership after the 60 days have lapsed , they would need to reapply for Membership and a new screening would need to be obtained at the Applicant ’ s expense through the USASF ’ s screening provider .
