Abstract of Proposed Collection
The collection of information requested on the DS-1838 and DS-7783
is necessary to comply with:
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) was issued
August 27, 2004, to set policy for a common, reliable, and secure
identification standard for federal employees and contractors for
accessing federally controlled facilities and federal information
systems. In order to keep Federal and other facilities where there is
potential for terrorist attacks secure, wide variations in the quality
and security of forms of identification need to be eliminated.
Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201)
is a United Stated Federal government standard that specifies Personal
Identity Verification (PIV) requirements for Federal employees and
contractors. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
Computer Security Division initiated a new program for improving the
identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors
for access to Federal facilities and information systems.
All Department employees and contractors are required to submit
application for a Personal Identification Card (DS-1838 domestically or
DS-7783 overseas) at the time of hire.
Methodology
Information is collected by a form (obtained from MyData forms) or
automated badge request (ABR) online.
George Semertsidis,
(Acting) Deputy Assistant Secretar Diplomatic Security Department of
State.
