1. Refusal to furnish information pursuant to applicable laws, rules, and regulations that would aid in determining qualifications for a security clearance.
2. Dismissal from prior employment for cause.
3. Intentional false statements, deception, or fraud in an application for clearance or in a submission of information furnished incidental to a contract with the Postal Service.
4. Habitual use of intoxicating beverages or drinking to excess.
