SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 ``Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors''
requires the implementation of a governmentwide standard for secure and
reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractors.
[[Page 59100]]
OMB's implementing instructions requires all contract employees
requiring routine access to federally controlled facilities for greater
than six (6) months to receive a background investigation. The minimum
background investigation is Tier 1 and the Office of Personnel
Management offers a Tier 1C for child care.
However, there is no requirement in the law or HSPD-12 that
requires childcare employees to be subject to the Tier 1C since
employees of childcare providers are neither government employees nor
government contractors. The childcare providers are required to
complete the criminal history background checks mandated in the Crime
Control Act of 1990, Public Law 101-647, dated November 29, 1990, as
amended by Public Law 102-190, dated December 5, 1991. These statutes
require that each employee of a childcare center located in a Federal
building or in leased space must undergo a background check.
According to GSA policy, childcare workers (as described above)
will need to submit the following:
1. An original signed copy of a Basic National Agency Check
Criminal History, GSA Form 176; and
2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI Fingerprint Cards, for SF-87
and/or electronic prints from an enrollment center.
3. Electronically submit the e-qip (SF85) application for
completion of the Tier 1C.
This is not a request to collect new information; this is a request
to change the form that is currently being used to collect this
information.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 1,200.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Hours per Response: 1.
Total Burden Hours: 1,200.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this
collection of information is accurate and based on valid assumptions
and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat
Division, by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1f584c5e4d7a784c7a7c5f786c7e31787069"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="490e1a081b2c2e1a2c2a092e3a28672e263f">[email protected]</span></a>. Please
