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: 60-Day Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: 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. OPM is soliciting comments 
for this collection 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). The Office of Management and Budget is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until March 21, 
2016. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d).

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the 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].

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: 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, suitable 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.
