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 federally controlled facilities. GSA uses the
Contractor Information Worksheet; GSA Form 850, and digitally captured
fingerprints to conduct a FBI National Criminal Information Check
(NCIC) for each contractor's physical access determination to GSA-
controlled facilities and/or logical access to GSA-controlled
information systems. Manual fingerprint card SF-87 is used for
exception cases such as contractor's significant geographical distance
from fingerprint enrollment sites.
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 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 contractors must undergo a minimum
of an FBI National Criminal Information Check (NCIC) to receive
unescorted physical access to GSA-controlled facilities and/or logical
access to GSA-controlled information systems.
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.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 25,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 25,000.
Hours per Response: .25.
Total Burden Hours: 6,250.
