Number 0705-0001.
Needs and Uses: This collection is a renewal and revision to the
collection under OMB Control Number 0705-0001, Freedom of Information/
Privacy Act Records Request for Background Investigations approved in
October 2019, when transferred from the Office of Personnel Management,
National Background Investigations Bureau (OPM, NBIB) to the DCSA. The
purpose of the collection is to enable the DCSA, Freedom of Information
and Privacy (FOI/P) Office for Investigations, to locate applicable
records and provide the requester responsive records pursuant to the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), and/or the Privacy Act of
1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). Authority to collect this information is
contained in 5 U.S.C. 552, 5 U.S.C. 552a, 32 CFR 310, and 32 CFR 286.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.

Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 10,097.
Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Records Request for
Background Investigations form, is an information collection completed
by individuals submitting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Privacy
Act, and Amendment record requests to DCSA's Freedom of Information and
Privacy (FOI/P) Office for Investigations. DCSA's FOIP Office for
Investigations utilizes the Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Records
Request for Background Investigations to standardize collection of data
elements specific to the types of record requests. Current record
requests can be submitted to DCSA FOIP Office for Investigations in a
format chosen by the requester. Often, requests are missing data
elements which require contact with the requester, thereby adding time
to the process. Standardization of the process will increase the volume
of perfected requests received and strike an appropriate balance
between the burden to the public in submitting a request and the DCSA
FOIP Office for Investigations being able to fulfill FOIA, Privacy Act,
and Amendment requests in an efficient manner.
