Abstract of Proposed Collection

The collection of the information requested on the DS-1838 and DS-7783 is necessary to comply with:

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) was issued August 27, 2004 to set policy for a common, reliable, and secure identification standard for federal employees and contractors for accessing federally-controlled facilities and federal information systems. In order to keep Federal and other facilities where there is potential for terrorist attacks secure, wide variations in the quality and security of forms of identification need to be eliminated.
Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) is a United States federal government standard that specifies Personal Identity Verification (PIV) requirements for Federal employees and contractors. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Computer Security Division initiated a new program for improving the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors for access to Federal facilities and information systems.

All Department employees and contractors are required to submit application for a Personal Identification Card (DS-1838 domestically or DS-7783 overseas) at the time of hire.

Methodology

Information is collected by use of the DS-1838 (available through myData 2.0 and the Automated Badge Request) or DS-7783 (available through myData 2.0).

Kevin E. Bryant,

Deputy Director, Office of Directives Management, U.S. Department of State.
