Requesting two non-substantive changes to OMB 3206-0259, INV 100, Expiration Date 5-31-2016. The Section 2 change supports the Paperwork Reduction Act and plain language initiative by offering the Secure e-Mail delivery method option and the Section 3 change is grammatical.
The proposed optional form INV 100 use is to standardize collection of data elements specific to FOIA and Privacy Act record requests submitted to OPM Federal Investigative Services (FIS). Standardization of the access process will increase the volume of perfected requests received and strike an appropriate balance between the burden to the public in submitting a request and FIS-FOI/PA being able to verify the identity of the requester thereby ensuring Privacy Act Protected records are not inappropriately released to third parties.
