SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Collection of Required Data 
Elements to Verify Eligibility; OMB Control Number 0704-0545.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
for the Government to verify whether or not an individual was impacted 
by the OPM cybersecurity incident involving background investigation 
records and to send a letter confirming status as ``impacted'' or ``not 
impacted'' by this incident. Once the minimally required information 
has been input into the OPM secure portal, it will be compared to an 
electronic master file and verification will be accomplished 
electronically. After the Government has validated the individual's 
status, the DoD Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) will generate and 
mail a response letter. This letter will either confirm eligibility and 
contain a PIN for impacted individuals, or confirm that the individual 
was not impacted by this cybersecurity incident.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 83,333.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,000,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    For the purposes of this submission, the affected public is 
comprised of military applicants, and employees of government 
contractors, experts, instructors, and consultants to Federal programs 
who underwent a personnel background investigation after January 1, 
1990. Additionally, other individuals whose Social Security Numbers 
(SSN) were provided on an SF 85, SF85-P or SF86 after January 1, 1990. 
Lastly, it also applies to individuals who submit a breach verification 
inquiry as well as minor children, who were minors as of July 1, 2015, 
of individuals described in this paragraph.
