Information collection requirement is
needed to obtain the necessary data to verify eligibility for a
Department of Defense physical access card for personnel who are
not entitled to a Common Access Card or other approved DoD
identification card. The information is used to establish
eligibility for the physical access to a DoD installation or
facility, detect fraudulent identification cards, provide physical
access and population demographic reports, provide law enforcement
data, and in some cases provide anti-terrorism screening.
Over the last couple of years,
there has been an expansion of the DBIDS program, primarily in
CONUS, with the number of installations increasing to around 100.
This has caused the number of respondents to naturally increase as
well.
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;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
