SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) established a 
mandatory requirement for a Government-wide identify verification 
standard. In compliance with HSPD-12 and the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard 
(FIPS) 201: Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and 
Contractors, and OMB Policy memorandum M-05-24 Implementation of 
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, NASA must collect 
information from members of the public to: (1) validate identity and 
(2) issue secure and reliable federal credentials to enable access to 
NASA facilities/sites and NASA information systems. Information 
collected is consistent with background investigation data to include 
but not limited to name, date of birth, citizenship, social security 
number (SSN), address, employment history, biometric identifiers (e.g. 
fingerprints), signature, digital photograph.
    NASA collects information from U.S. Citizens requiring access 30 or 
more days in a calendar year. NASA also collects information from 
foreign nationals regardless of their affiliation time. NASA collects, 
stores, and secures information from individuals identified above in 
the NASA Identify Management System (IdMAX) in a manner consistent with 
the Constitution and applicable laws, including the Privacy Act (5 
U.S.C. 552a.)
    Information is collected via a combination of electronic and paper 
processes and stored in the NASA Identify Account Exchange (IdMAX) 
System.
