proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and

electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic

Abstract: Candidates tentatively selected for positions must meet
basic qualification requirements before accessing ATF information, IT
systems, and facilities. ATF conducts personnel security and
suitability background investigations for this purpose, in accordance
with IRTPA, HSPD-12, Trusted Workforce 2.0, and other requirements. A
first step in this process is verifying the person's identity, which
this form documents. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0123 is being
revised to include an update in the hourly burden calculations for the
time taken to verify forms of identification from 5 minutes to 15
minutes per verification and the increase in time from 167 hours to 500
hours.
