GROVE CITY, PA.

A Grove City business is owned by the company under investigation as part of the Edward Snowden case involving the leaking of U.S. secret surveillance programs.

Patrick McFarland, the inspector general for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, told lawmakers on Thursday that his office is probing USIS, according to Reuters. USIS is based in Falls Church, Va.

A search of the USIS website shows that positions housed in Grove City include information technology and customer service positions.

A representative from the Grove City Are Chamber of commerce said the “help desk” is a call center for USIS.
