Agency Information Collection
Activities: Contractor Fitness/Security
Screening Request Form; OMB Control
No. 1601–NEW
Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Department of Homeland
Security will submit the following
Information Collection Request (ICR) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. DHS previously
published this information collection
request (ICR) in the Federal Register on
August 15, 2023, for a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were
received by DHS. The purpose of this
notice is to allow additional 30-days for
public comments.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until November 24,
2023. This process is conducted in
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection will be used to
initiate the fitness screening process for
determining if a person invited to
perform work under a contract for the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), is fit to perform such work and
eligible for access to DHS resources,
based on the risk levels of the
designated position. The respondent
provides and/or verifies biographical
information to complete Section II of
DHS Form 11000–25.
This collection of information is
necessary to initiate the contractor
fitness screening process for
determining whether a person (i.e., the
respondent) who has been invited to
perform work under a contract for, or on
behalf of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), should be deemed fit to
perform such work and eligible for
logical and/or physical access to DHS
resources based on the risk levels of the
designated position. The respondent is
responsible for providing and/or
verifying information to complete
Section II of DHS Form 11000–25; the
remaining sections of DHS Form 11000–
25 (Sections I, III, and IV) are completed
by DHS federal employees. Authorities
that that support this information
collection include:
• Executive Order (E.O.) 9397,
Numbering System for Federal
Accounts Relating to Individual
Persons, as amended by E.O. 13478,
Amendments to E.O. 9397 Relating to
Federal Agency Use of Social Security
Numbers
• E.O. 10577, Amending the Civil
Service Rules and Authorizing a New

• FAR 52.204–9, Personal Identity
Verification of Contractor Personnel
• Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 12
This is a new information collection.
DHS collects this information from the
respondent, so Personnel Security
entities can initiate the appropriate
screening process for determining
whether the respondent should be
deemed fit to perform work under a
contract for, or on behalf of DHS, and
eligible for logical and/or physical
access to DHS resources based on the
risk levels of the designated position.
This information collection utilizes an
automated technological solution (i.e.,
Personnel Security Forms application)
which negates the need for a paperbased DHS Form 11000–25, thereby
reducing the burden on the respondent
during the initiation phase of the
contractor fitness screening process.
After receiving an invitation to perform
work under a contact, the respondent
(i.e., DHS contractor applicant) submits
and verifies certain biographical
information (e.g., full name, position
title, SSN, gender, date and place of
birth, U.S. citizenship status, telephone
number, and email address) through a
public facing web portal. Once the
information intake is complete, the
Personnel Security Forms application
produces an automated electronic
version of the DHS Form 11000–25 for
use by the appropriate Personnel
Security entities to make a fitness
determination. This information
collection does not have an impact on
small businesses or other small entities.
The information collection for DHS
Form 11000–25 is voluntary; however,
failure to provide this information may
delay or prevent an individual’s fitness
determination and eligibility for
physical and logical access to federally
controlled facilities or information
systems.
There is no assurance of
confidentiality provided to the
respondents. Consistent with DHS’
information sharing mission, all or a
portion of the information collection
may be disclosed outside DHS
consistent with the routine uses set
forth in Privacy Impact Assessment,
DHS/ALL/PIA–038, Integrated Security
Management System (ISMS), and
System of Record Notice, DHS/ALL–023
Department of Homeland Personnel
Security Management.
This is a new collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
