ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding an extension to an 
existing OMB clearance.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the 
General Services Administration will be submitting to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve a 
previously approved information collection requirement regarding 
temporary contractor information worksheet.
    GSA requires OMB approval for this collection to make 
determinations on granting unescorted physical access to GSA-controlled 
facilities. The approval is critical for GSA to continue to make

collection of information is necessary and whether it will have 
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected.

DATES: Submit comments on or before: September 10, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The U.S. Government conducts criminal checks to establish that 
applicants or incumbents working for the Government under contract may 
have unescorted access to GSA-controlled facilities. GSA uses the 
Temporary Contractor Information Worksheet and the FBI Form FD-258 
Fingerprint Card to conduct a FBI National Criminal Information Check 
(NCIC) for each temporary contractor (working on contract for six 
months or less and require physical access only) on GSA contracts for 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-5) efforts 
to determine whether to grant unescorted access to GSA-controlled 
facilities. GSA will continue to make physical access determinations 
for temporary contractors due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment 
Act of 2009.
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M-05-24 for 
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 authorizes Federal 
departments and agencies to ensure that temporary contractors have 
limited/controlled access to facilities and information systems. GSA 
Directive CIO P 2181.1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 
Personal Identity Verification and Credentialing (available at http://www.gsa.gov/hspd12) states that GSA temporary contractors must undergo 
a minimum of a FBI National Criminal Information Check (NCIC) to 
receive unescorted physical access. Temporary contractors' Social 
Security Number is needed to keep records accurate, because other 
people may have the same name and birth date. Executive Order 9397 
Numbering System for Federal Accounts Relating to Individual Persons 
also allows Federal agencies to use this number to help identify 
individuals in agency records. GSA describes how information will be 
maintained in the Privacy Act system of record notice published in the 
Federal Register at 73 FR 35690 on June 24, 2008.
