Department of Justice, information collections currently under review
by OMB.
DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOJ notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously
approved collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: CJIS Biographic Verification
Request.
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: I-791; CJIS, FBI, DOJ.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The form is used when an authorized
noncriminal justice agency requests that the CJIS Division complete a
Biographic Verification. 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.
5. Obligation to Respond: The obligation is strictly voluntary;
however, the form is required to obtain the benefit of the CJIS
Biographic Verification Service.
6. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 36,000.
7. Estimated Time per Respondent: 2 minutes.
8. Frequency: The frequency of submission is not mandated; the form
should be used whenever a CJIS Biographic Verification is requested.
9. Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: Approximately 1,200 hours.
10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
