Abstract: Performance of IHS mission requires the support of contractors. In some circumstances, depending on the requirements of the specific contract, the contractor is tasked to provide personnel who will be dealing with Indian children under the age of 18. Before working on the contract, each of these contractor personnel must undergo a background check as required by federal law (Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Act (ICPFVA)). The contractor is therefore required to provide information on the individual so that a proper background check can be performed.

Short Statement: This is an extension of the current collection effort. There was a reduction in OMB inventory burden hours from 160 hours to 67 hours due to an adjustment in the agency estimate. The requirement for criminal background checks is routinely included in contracts/orders for medical providers including those providers intended to deal with children under the age of 18. Furthermore, many medical providers on existing contracts/orders already had successful background checks and continue to provide services.
