Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The collection of the information requested on the DS-1838 and DS-
7783 is necessary to comply with:
     Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) was 
issued August 27, 2004 to set policy for a common, reliable, and secure 
identification standard for federal employees and contractors for 
accessing federally-controlled facilities and federal information 
systems. In order to keep Federal and other facilities where there is 
potential for terrorist attacks secure, wide variations in the quality 
and security of forms of identification need to be eliminated.
     Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 
(FIPS 201) is a United States Federal Government standard that 
specifies Personal Identity Verification (PIV) requirements for Federal 
employees and contractors. The NIST (National Institute of Standards 
and Technology) Computer Security Division initiated a new program for 
improving the identification and authentication of Federal employees 
and contractors for access to Federal facilities and information 
systems.
    All Department employees and contractors are required to submit 
application for a Personal Identification Card (DS-1838 domestically or 
DS-7783 overseas) at the time of hire.

Methodology

    Information is collected by use of the DS-1838 (available through 
the Automated Badge Request) or DS-7783. Neither form is publicly 
available but must be downloaded from within the Department.
