Abstract: Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), section
0.85(j) sets forth the Attorney General's delegation to the FBI to
implement the exchange of identity history information for noncriminal
justice purposes. Additionally, 28 CFR 20.33(a)(3) and 50.12 both
further explain the dissemination of identity history information for
noncriminal justice purposes. The FBI's Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) Division currently offers a Biographic Verification
Service to noncriminal justice agencies as a way to obtain adjudicated
criminal history information in cases where the required fingerprint
image quality could not be achieved after two attempts for a
fingerprint-based search. The service was implemented to ensure that
individuals with poor quality fingerprints not be denied benefits,
licensing, or employment opportunities due to non-discernible
fingerprints. The information collected on the CJIS Biographic
Verification Request form is required to ensure the agency requesting
the service has the authority to request and obtain the results and to
verify fingerprints were submitted and rejected twice for the
individual of the request.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: CJIS Biographic Verification
Request.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: I-791; CJIS, FBI, DOJ.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: The form is used when an authorized
noncriminal justice agency requests that the CJIS Division complete a
Biographic Verification. The obligation is strictly voluntary, and the
frequency of submissions is not mandated; however, the form is required
to obtain the benefit of the CJIS Biographic Verification Service.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
that approximately 36,000 respondents will complete the CJIS Biographic
Verification Request form in fiscal year 2024. It will take each
respondent approximately two minutes to complete the form.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual burden hours for this collection
is approximately 1,200 hours.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: $0.
