Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The collection of the information requested on the DS-1838 and DS-
7783 is necessary for all Department non-employees who need a PIV. They 
are required to submit an application for a Personal Identification 
Card (DS-1838 domestically or DS-7783 overseas) at the time of hire. 
The information collected on the form is necessary to verify personal 
identity as required by the Federal Information Processing Standard 
Publication 201 (FIPS 201) and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 
12 (HSPD 12). Employees must also use these forms, but the Paperwork 
Reduction Act does not apply to them; therefore, their numbers are not 
counted in this request.

Methodology

    Information is collected by a form or automated badge request (ABR) 
online.

Timothy Thomas,
Division Chief, Office of Domestic Facilities Protection, Bureau of 
Diplomatic Security, Department of State.
