of the Federal Government, including the United States Sentencing

The increase of 4.5 million
burden hours is accredited to the increase of friction ridge
submissions by respondents during the past 3 years, to include the
submissions of palmprints. The increases can be attributed to new
federal and state legislation requiring fingerprint based
background checks for employment such as Section 6201 of the
Affordable Care Act, as well as authorized agencies implementing
requirements for the Adam Walsh Act, the Serve America Act, and
Sexual Offender Registry requirements for palmprint
submissions.
