I. Abstract

    A recent internal audit of PRA compliance determined that this 
existing collection does not have an OMB clearance number. BPA is 
seeking approval for an information collection on personally 
identifiable information (PII) of new and existing Federal and

[[Page 63213]]

contract personnel that will be used during the identity verification 
process. This information helps BPA determine eligibility for 
employment and access to BPA and DOE facilities. The relevant form, BPA 
F 5632.09e, collects name, home and email address, date and place of 
birth, Social Security number, and relevant Federal or contract work 
history. No third party notification or public disclosure burden is 
associated with this collection.

II. Request for Comments

    BPA requests that you send your comments to the locations listed in 
the ADDRESSES section above. Your comments should include:
    (a) The necessity of the information collection for the proper 
performance of BPA's functions, including whether the information will 
have practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden (hours and costs) of 
the collection of the information;
    (c) Ways BPA could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (d) Ways BPA could minimize the burden of the collection of the 
information, such as through the use of automated collection techniques 
or other forms of information technology.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid 
Office of Management and Budget control number. Comments may be made 
available to the public, including your address, phone number, and 
email address. You may request that BPA withholds your personally 
identifiable information, but there is no guarantee that BPA will be 
able to do so.
