DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Renewal of Currently Approved 
Information Collection; Comment Request; Limited Access Death Master 
File Systems Safeguards Attestation Forms

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Commerce.
    Title:
    (A) ``Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF) Accredited 
Conformity Assessment Body Systems Safeguards Attestation Form'' (ACAB 
Systems Safeguards Attestation Form).
    (B) ``Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF) State or Local 
Government Auditor General (AG) or Inspector General (IG) Systems 
Safeguards Attestation Form'' (AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation 
Form).
    OMB Control Number: 0692-0016.
    Form Number(s): NTIS FM100A and NTIS FM100B.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Number of Respondents:
    ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation Form: NTIS expects to receive 
approximately 500 ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation Forms from 
Persons and Certified Persons annually.
    AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Form: NTIS expects to 
receive approximately 60 AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Forms 
from Persons and Certified Persons annually.
    Average Hours per Response:
    ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation Form: 3 hours.
    AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Form: 3 hours.
    Burden Hours:
    ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation Form: 1,500 (500 x 3 hours = 
1,500 hours).
    AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Form: 180 (60 x 3 hours=180 
hours).
    Needs and Uses: NTIS issued a final rule establishing a program 
through which persons may become eligible to obtain access to Death 
Master File (DMF) information about an individual within three years of 
that individual's death. The final rule was promulgated under Section 
203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Public Law 113-67 (Act). The 
Act prohibits the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) from disclosing DMF 
information during the three-year period following an individual's 
death (Limited Access DMF), unless the person requesting the 
information has been certified to access the Limited Access DMF 
pursuant to certain criteria in a program that the Secretary 
establishes. The Secretary delegated the authority to carry out Section 
203 to the Director of NTIS.
    On December 30, 2014, NTIS initially described a ``Limited Access 
Death Master File Systems Safeguards Attestation Form'' in the notice 
of proposed rulemaking (79 FR 78314 at 78321). To accommodate the 
requirements of the final rule, NTIS is using both the ACAB Systems 
Safeguards Attestation Form and the AG or IG Systems Safeguards 
Attestation Form.
    The ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation Form requires an 
``Accredited Conformity Assessment Body'' (ACAB), as defined in the 
final rule, to attest that a Person seeking certification or a 
Certified Person seeking renewal of certification has information 
security systems, facilities and procedures in place to protect the 
security of the Limited Access DMF, as required under Section 
1110.102(a)(2) of the final rule. The ACAB Systems Safeguards 
Attestation Form collects information based on an assessment by the 
ACAB conducted within three years prior to the date of the Person or 
Certified Person's submission of a completed certification statement 
under Section 1110.101(a) of the final rule. This collection includes 
specific requirements of the final rule, which the ACAB must certify 
are satisfied, and the provision of specific information by the ACAB, 
such as the date of the assessment and the auditing standard(s) used 
for the assessment.
    Section 1110.501(a)(2) of the final rule provides that a state or 
local government office of AG or IG and a Person or Certified Person 
that is a department or agency of the same state or local government, 
respectively, are not considered to be owned by a common ``parent'' 
entity under Section 1110.501(a)(1)(ii) for the purpose of determining 
independence, and attestation by the AG or IG is possible. The AG or IG 
Systems Safeguards Attestation Form is for the use of a state or local 
government AG or IG to attest on behalf of a state or local government 
department or agency Person or Certified Person. The AG or IG Systems 
Safeguards Attestation Form requires the state or local government AG 
or IG to attest that a Person seeking certification or a Certified 
Person seeking renewal of certification has information security 
systems, facilities and procedures in place to protect the security of 
the Limited Access DMF, as required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of the 
final rule. The AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Form collects 
information based on an assessment by the state or local government AG 
or IG conducted within three years prior to the date of the Person or 
Certified Person's submission of a completed certification statement 
under Section 1110.101(a) of the final rule. This collection includes 
specific requirements of the final rule, which the state or local 
government AG or IG must certify are satisfied, and the provision of 
specific information by the state or local government AG or IG, such as 
the date of the assessment.
    Affected Public: Accredited Conformity Assessment Bodies and state 
or local government Auditors General or Inspectors General attesting 
that a Person seeking certification or a Certified Person seeking 
renewal of certification under the final rule for the ``Certification 
Program for Access to the Death Master File'' has information security 
systems, facilities and procedures in place to protect the security of 
the Limited Access DMF, as required by the final rule.
    Frequency: Once every three years.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory for a Person seeking 
certification or renewal of certification for access to the Limited 
Access DMF to have an Accredited Conformity Assessment Body or state or 
local government Auditor General or Inspector General submit this 
attestation.
