Privacy Act Statement

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), this Privacy Act Statement serves to inform you of why the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is requesting the information on this form.

AUTHORITY:

The collection of this information is authorized under the NIST Organic Act, Title15 U.S.C. § 272 (b)(10) and (b)(11) and the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44U.S.C. § 3501 et seq., Information collected for facility access determinations and is authorized by Executive Order 10450 and/or Section 231 of the Crime Control Act of 1990, and Executive Order 9397.

PURPOSE:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) allows access to its campuses and resources for non-NIST employees for the purposes of furthering the NIST mission. These NIST Associates (NAs) include guest researchers, research associates, contractors, and other non-NIST employees. The information collected through this instrument will be input into the NIST Associates Information System (NAIS) and sent to the appropriate personnel for approval processing and to allow the NA preliminary access to the NIST campuses and resources.  The information collected may also be the basis for further security investigations, as necessary.   

ROUTINE USES:

The information solicited on this form may be made available as a “routine use” pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a)(7) and (b)(3).  The information may be made available to other federal agencies to assist the Department in connection with NIST’s management of the purposes stated above; or for other authorized routine uses.  A complete list of the routine uses can be found in the system of records notice associated with this form:

NIST-1: NIST Associates https://www.osec.doc.gov/opog/privacyact/privacyact_sorns.html

CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION:

Providing this information is voluntary.  However, failure to provide the requested information may result in an inability for NIST to process, review, and/or act on such requests.  In limited circumstances, NIST may authorize the submission of the requested information via paper forms pursuant to the requirements in 15 CFR 748.1(d).

Public Burden Statement

A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0693-0067. Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be approximately 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering, and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are required to obtain benefits. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the National Institute of Standards and Technology at: 100 Bureau Drive, MS 2200, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 Attn: Technology Partnerships Office.
