The Department of Defense provides
active duty Uniformed Services' personnel (to include the Selected
Reserve), DOD civilian employees, and eligible contractor employees
with a distinct Common Access Card used as the standard
identification card to enable physical access to buildings and
controlled spaces, and gain access to the Department's computer
networks and systems. This information collection supplies the
necessary information to verify applicants' status and eligibility.
The DD Form 1172-2 collects information and is the application used
for issuance of the DOD Common Access Card.
In addition to digital
signatures on the DD Form 1172-2, the DD Form 1172-2 has been
automated via writeable pdf which has resulted in a reduction of
the burden minutes to complete the form.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
