Tom,

While I do not believe that the FBI enters information from applicant polygraph "tests" into NCIC (which deals with criminal matters), they do enter this info into another national database that they keep for non-criminal investigations.  And yes, the FBI does freely disseminate this information to other agencies.

Specific info can be found in Mark Zaid's legal complaints in the "Reading Room" section of the antipolygraph.org website.

The url is

If you look at section 231 of the first amended complaint, you will see the following paragraph:

231. The FBI maintains a specific system of records within its Privacy Act system of records - JUSTICE/FBI-002 - that is part of the FBI Central Records System. Within this system are records and information pertaining to applicants for employment with the FBI, which includes all records and information relevant to an applicant's investigation, personnel inquiry, or other personnel matters. The FBI may disclose personal information from this system as a routine use to any federal agency where the purpose in making the disclosure is compatible with the law enforcement purpose for which it was collected, e.g., to assist the recipient agency in conducting a lawful criminal or intelligence investigation, to assist the recipient agency in making a determination concerning an individual's suitability for employment and/or trustworthiness for employment and/or trustworthiness for access clearance purposes, or to assist the recipient agency in the performance of any authorized function where access to records in this system is declared by the recipient agency to be relevant to that function.

I hope this is of some help.
