OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Notice of Submission for Approval: Information Collection 3206-
0150; Fingerprint Chart Standard Form 87, SF 87

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Investigative Services (FIS), U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) is notifying the general public and other 
Federal agencies that OPM is seeking Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) approval of a revised information collection, control number 
3206-0150, Fingerprint Chart Standard Form 87, SF 87. As required by 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35), as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is 
providing an additional 30 days for public comments. OPM previously 
solicited comments for this collection, with a 60-day public comment 
period, at 81 FR 2924 (January 19, 2016).

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until May 2, 2016. 
This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management Budget, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of 
Personnel Management or sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected] or faxed to (202) 395-6974.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this information collection, 
with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting 
Federal Investigative Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 
1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by 
electronic mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that OPM has submitted 
to OMB a request for review and clearance of a revised information 
collection, control number 3206-0150, Fingerprint Chart Standard Form 
87, SF 87. The public has an additional 30-day opportunity to comment.
    The SF 87 is a fingerprint card, which is utilized to conduct a 
national criminal history check, which is a component of the background 
investigation. The SF 87 is completed by individuals who are under 
consideration for appointment to or retention in a Federal position or 
performance of work on behalf of the Government. The SF 87 fingerprint 
chart is used in background investigations to establish that such 
persons are eligible for logical and physical access to Government 
facilities and systems; suitable or fit to perform work for, on behalf 
of, the Federal Government; suitable for employment or retention in a 
public trust position, eligible for employment or retention in a 
national security position, and/or eligible for access to classified 
national security information. The SF 87 form is only utilized when a 
hardcopy fingerprint chart must be obtained, as opposed to the 
electronic collection of fingerprints.
    Due to the SF 87 form's small size and the fact that it may be 
maintained in multiple systems of records, it does not list all 
potentially applicable routine uses under the Privacy Act. Accordingly 
5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3)(C) requires that an agency issuing the SF 87 form 
must also give the subject a copy of the routine uses for the 
applicable system of records and FBI's Privacy Act Notice and Privacy 
Rights. OPM proposes to add clarifying language to the Purpose, 
Authority, and Privacy Statement to further explain uses of the form.
    The 60-day Federal Register Notice was published on January 19, 
2016 (81 FR 2924). One comment was received from an individual from the 
Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). DoDEA commented that 
without using Fingerprint Chart Standard Form 87, an alternative form 
or process should be made available to comply with the Crime Control 
Act of 1990 (Act, and House Bill (HB) 737). OPM did not accept DoDEA's 
recommendation. OPM already does provide for the electronic collection 
of fingerprints. Use of the SF 87 is limited only to situations where 
electronic collection of fingerprints cannot be utilized.
