SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Collection of Required Data 
Elements to Verify Eligibility; OMB Control Number 0704-0545.
    Needs and Uses: Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) has implemented 
the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Verification portal to provide 
a self-service, easy to use, navigable public facing website that 
allows individuals potentially impacted by the OPM data breach to 
securely provide personal identifiable information in order to 
investigate their eligibility for credit monitoring as a result of 
being affected by the OPM background investigation data breach without 
calling a Government call center. The information collected will be 
used only to verify whether 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 
entered into the OPM Verification 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 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: 4,166.67.
    Number of Respondents: 50,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 50,000.
