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 an 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
[[Page 23864]]
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.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
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.

information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat
Division, by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing [email protected]. Please
