The information collection requirement
is necessary to verify the identity of an individual and determine
the fitness of an individual requesting and/or requiring access to
installations, and issuance of local access credentials. The
information collection methodology involves the employment of
technological collection of data via an electronic physical access
control system (PACS) which provides the capability to rapidly and
electronically authenticate credentials and validate the
individual's authorization to enter an installation.
Additional AIE sites and
systems have come online since 2015, which increases the total
number of annual respondents and the annual hours of respondent
burden; therefore, the reason for change in burden would be
determined as an “Adjustment.”
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).
