SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Homeland Security’s
(DHS) Office of Biometric Identity
Management (OBIM) provides biometric
compare, store, share, and analyze
services to DHS and mission partners. In
order to serve its mission partners,
OBIM is focused on delivering accurate,
timely, and high assurance biometric
identity information and analysis. To
achieve OBIM’s overall goals and
priorities, OBIM continually works to
improve biometric services by keeping
up with advancing biometrics in terms
of new modalities, capabilities, and
safeguarding information. OBIM is
constantly investigating new
developments to keep up with the speed
of relevance and to support DHS
operational missions through the
development of standards for
interagency implementation of
biometrics.
Because OBIM is congressionally
mandated to manage the operation of
the department’s primary biometric
repository and identification system that
is used to identify and verify
individuals crossing U.S. borders, it is
mandatory for homeland security that
the types of biometrics used, the
technologies that capture them, and the
way that OBIM safeguards them are
advancing at a pace that keeps in front
of bad actors.
In the continuing appropriations act
of 2013, OBIM was created from the
former US–VISIT program to administer
the DHS biometric database, as
authorized by section 7208 of the
Intelligence Reform And Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004 (8 U.S.C. 1365b).
See Consolidated And Further
Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013,
Public Law 113–6, 127 stat. 198 (2013).
The Senate Explanatory Statement for
the appropriation explains that ‘‘OBIM
is the lead entity within DHS
responsible for biometric identity
management services through its
management of the Automated
Biometric Identification System, or
IDENT. OBIM assumes the most
significant and cross-cutting
responsibility from what was known as
US–VISIT—namely to serve customers
across DHS, at other Federal agencies, in
State and local law enforcement, and
overseas through storage of biometric
identities, recurrent matching against
derogatory information, and other

18990

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 85 / Monday, May 5, 2025 / Notices

biometric expertise and services.’’ The
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2017, Public Law 115–31, Division F,
Section 301, 131 stat. 135, 418 (2017),
mandated DHS to implement a facial
recognition matching capability for
IDENT, including the ability to search,
store and match, that is independent of
other biometric modalities but scalable
for future needs. The 2017
Appropriations Act also called for DHS
to ‘‘demonstrate new agile projects
focused on the ability to fuse biographic
intelligence information with biometric
data.’’
Thus, OBIM is constantly working
through research and development
efforts and standards development to
improve biometric use, capture, and
storage through investigation of the
latest industry or academic
advancements and how research
findings can help improve performance
of systems and policies that surround
the use of the system. While continuing
to improve its biometric services, OBIM
has identified a need to understand the
performance of new sensors and data
emerging from these sensors. This
understanding is crucial for advancing
standards development and threshold
guidance, as continuously evolving
technologies impact the performance of
the operational biometric matchers
leveraged by the OBIM biometric
repository. OBIM engages with
performers, like John Hopkins
University Applied Physics Laboratory
(JHU APL), National Institute of
Standards Technology (NIST), and DHS
Science And Technology (S&T) to
collaborate and leverage the subject
matter expertise available at each entity
on biometric sensor evaluation to assess
the performance of emerging biometric
technologies.
OBIM seeks an Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) number to address
the Paperwork Reduction Act
requirements for OBIM’s studies of
emerging biometric technology. These
OBIM studies support relevant
biometrics collection projects so that
OBIM can collaborate with performers
to take on various biometric collection
projects that will help to understand
biometric collection device performance
in various operational settings. These
performers include academic and other
research centers to design and execute
studies that involve collection of
different biometrics depending on the
need and/or research question. Since
OBIM operates and maintains the DHS
biometric repository responsible for
storing, sharing, and matching of
different types of biometrics modalities
(i.e., face, finger, iris, and future
biometrics) it is imperative that OBIM

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:51 May 02, 2025

Jkt 265001

understand biometric collection device
performance so that we are better able
to do the sharing and comparing portion
of our homeland security mission.
Because authentication/identification
accuracy depends on the reliability of
the equipment used to capture data,
OBIM is developing guidance on
biometric capture quality, to enable the
implementation of new capabilities that
enhance national security and general
public safety.
OBIM has tasked the performers to
help in this effort based on their
extensive experience with biometric
image collection and analysis developed
from previous studies. The performers
anticipate conducting several smallscale human research studies to support
OBIM program goals. OBIM is interested
in gathering more information in the
following biometric modalities: face,
fingerprint, palm print, iris, and voice.
The purpose of this analysis is (1) to
evaluate the current state of the art in
biometrics and biometric capture, and
(2) to provide insights on likely future
developments in biometrics and identity
intelligence technologies for OBIM to
continue advancing research and
development efforts, interoperability
standards, and threshold guidance. The
goal is to aid in the elaboration of a
multi-year strategy for both research and
development for future technologies.
As OBIM is not an academic
institution and does not engage in
research studies; OBIM relies on
academic and other research centers to
design and execute studies that involve
collection of different biometrics
(depending on the need and/or research
question). These performers develop
research questions and protocols to
solve questions and provide information
and guidance for OBIM to better
influence capture, share, match, and
storage of biometrics.
OBIM aims to continue to improve
biometric services within DHS and the
necessary guidance associated with the
implementation of these biometrics. The
primary objective of the studies and use
of information technology is to compare
the performance of biometric sensors.
Specifically, understanding the
parameters that impact the quality of
biometric image collection, which in
turn, impacts the performance of
downstream comparison algorithms.
OBIM will assess new sensors, as the
technologies are continuously evolving,
and the inherent impact on the
performance with the operational
biometric matchers leveraged by the
OBIM biometric repository. To perform
these assessments, biometric collections
will occur using emerging commercial
off the shelf sensors (e.g., finger, face,

PO 00000

Frm 00037

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

iris, scanner, using a platen, clamshell,
mobile application, etc.). The
assessment and potential future
implementation of advancing biometric
sensors aims to improve the biometric
collection experience for the customer
and the agent to ensure quality
biometrics are collected in an easy to
use and time efficient manner to reduce
burden on the customer and agent
involved in the collection while still
providing quality biometric images to
allow for accurate comparison for
mission decision support.
Advancing technology will look to
reduce burden by:
• Contactless modes of collection,
reducing hygienic burden to individuals
as a result of the current practices of
touching the same surface.
• Simultaneous collection of multiple
biometrics, reducing the burden to the
customer and agent by eliminating
multiple devices and thus decreasing
the time for each additional biometric to
be collected.
• Mobile collection sensors, reducing
time burden of customer by eliminating
the need to travel from site of encounter
to a collection site.
If any small businesses will be
involved in the collections, study, or
testing that are conducted surrounding
biometric devices or matching
performances, OBIM will work to
ensure that guidance is streamlined and
clear for all participants and all the time
limits put forth for collection and
testing are limited. No requests of
performers, vendors, or participants will
be made that will be prohibitive to the
participation of small businesses.
OBIM provides accurate, timely, and
high assurance biometric identity
services. As technology continues to
advance at a rapid speed, new biometric
collection devices and techniques
continue to emerge. Variations in the
technology leveraged in these new
devices/sensors may impact the
interoperability with the existing
operational biometric comparison
algorithms leveraged by DHS OBIM.
Assessments of these technologies do
not account for the impact on the legacy
biometric information within the OBIM
biometric repository and provides
skewed performance results on
emerging technology. Less frequent
collections will impact the ability to
identify issues related to the
performance of the operational
comparison algorithms with emerging
biometric collection technologies. This
will hinder advancements of research
and development, drafting updates to
interoperability standards, and inform
comparison algorithm threshold
guidance to optimize biometric
