Abstract: This is a new collection of information necessitated by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) cybersecurity incident in which approximately 21.5 million security clearance background investigation records containing personally identifying information (PII) were compromised. The information collected will be used only to verify whether or not an individual was impacted by the OPM cybersecurity incident involving background investigation records and to send a letter confirming status as “impacted” or “not impacted” by this incident.

Emergency Justfication: The information collection is being initiated at this time due to the immediate need to provide assurance and awareness to all impacted individuals and their minor children. The information collected will be used only to verify whether or not an individual was impacted by the OPM cybersecurity incident. If the individual is categorized as “impacted,” they will receive Government-provided identity protection and credit monitoring services. We, therefore, are asking for emergency consideration in order to implement this collection as soon as possible to provide individuals with immediate safeguards and to further protect US government interests within information security and integrity.
