Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) established a mandatory requirement for a Government-wide identity verification standard. In compliance with HSPD-12, NIST Federal Information Processing Standard 201, and OMB policy memorandum M-05-24/ Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, NASA developed the Identity Management System (IdMAX) to manage identities, credentials, and access. IdMAX is an integrated enterprise environment that enables NASA to collect and process information from members of the public, covered by the Paperwork Reduction Act, who are seeking access to NASA sites, facilities, and systems for a time period greater than 30 days in a calendar year, and for all foreign national visitors regardless of their affiliation time. The information is used to validate identity and issue secure, reliable credentials.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
