DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Technical Information Service
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF)
Accredited Conformity Assessment Body Application for Firewalled Status
Form
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on December 27, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Technical Information Service, Commerce.
Title: Limited Access Death Master File Accredited Conformity
Assessment Body Application for Firewalled Status Form.
OMB Control Number: 0692-0015.
Form Number(s): NTIS FM101.
Type of Request: Regular submission. Extension of currently
approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 65.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour.
Burden Hours: 65.
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.
The final rule requires that, in order to become certified, a
Person must submit a written attestation from an ``Accredited
Conformity Assessment Body'' (ACAB), as defined in the final rule, that
such Person has systems, facilities, and procedures in place to protect
the security of the Limited Access DMF, as required under 15 CFR
1110.102(a). A Certified Person also must provide a new written
attestation periodically for renewal of its certification as specified
in the final rule. The ACAB must be independent of the Person or
Certified Person seeking certification, unless it is a conformity
assessment body that qualifies for
[[Page 15991]]
``firewalled status'' pursuant to 15 CFR 1110.502.
The Firewalled Status Application Form collects information that
NTIS will use to evaluate whether the respondent qualifies for
``firewalled status'' under the regulations, and, therefore, can
provide a written attestation in lieu of an independent ACAB's
attestation. This information includes specific requirements of 15 CFR
1110.502(b), which the responding ACAB must certify are satisfied, and
the provision of specific information by the responding ACAB, such as
the identity of the Person or Certified Person that would be the
subject of the attestation and the basis upon which the certifications
were made.
Affected Public: Accredited Conformity Assessment Bodies seeking
firewalled status under 15 CFR 1110.502 because they are ``owned,
managed, or controlled by [the] Person or Certified Person that is the
subject of attestation or audit by the Accredited Conformity Assessment
Body applying the characteristics set forth under section
1110.501(a)(1).''
Frequency: Once a year.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
