ACTION: Notice. Request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announces proposed changes to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 201, Standard for Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors. The changes to Section 2.2, PIV Identify Proofing and Registration Requirements, and to Section 5.3.1, PIV Card Issuance, will clarify the identity proofing and registration process that departments and agencies should follow when issuing identity credentials. These changes are required to make FIPS 201 consistent with the Memorandum for All Departments and Agencies (M–05– 24), issued by the Office of Management and Budget on August 5, 2005, Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12— Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors. Before recommending these proposed changes to FIPS 201 to the Secretary of Commerce for review and approval, NIST invites comments from the public, users, the information technology industry, and Federal, State and local government organizations concerning the proposed changes. DATES: Comments on these proposed changes must be received by October 11, 2005.

Electronic comments should be sent to: fips.comments@nist.gov. The proposed changes to FIPS Publication 201 are available electronically from the NIST Web site at: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/.

Information about FIPS 201 and the PIV program is available on the NIST Web pages: https://csrc.nist.gov/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors, dated August 27, 2004, directed the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate, by February 27, 2005, a Government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification to be issued by the Federal Government to its employees and contractors (including contractor employees). FIPS 201 was developed to satisfy the technical, administrative, and timeliness requirements of HSPD 12. The standard was developed in a ‘‘manner consistent with the Constitution and applicable laws, including the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and other statutes protecting the rights of Americans’’ as required in HSPD 12. To assist departments and agencies in implementing the provisions of FIPS 201, Joshua Bolten, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), issued a Memorandum for All Departments and Agencies on August 5, 2005 entitled ‘‘Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12—Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors.’’ The Memorandum provides implementation guidance and clarifies the requirements for identity proofing, registration and accreditation processes. Two provisions of FIPS 201 as promulgated by the Secretary of Commerce earlier this year are not consistent with the guidance contained in the Bolten Memorandum and those provisions of FIPS 201 are hereby proposed for revision. Sections 2.2, ‘‘PIV Identify Proofing and Registration E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM 08SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 173 / Thursday, September 8, 2005 / Notices Requirements,’’ and 5.3.1 of FIPS 201, ‘‘PIV Card Issuance,’’ are being revised to assure that they are consistent with the OMB guidance concerning National Agency Checks as part of the identity proofing and registration process. Therefore, NIST has prepared changes to FIPS 201 to clarify the identity proofing and registration process that departments and agencies should follow when issuing identity credentials. In short, under the proposed FIPS revision if an agency does not receive the results of the National Agency Checks (NAC) within five days, the identity credential can be issued based on the FBI National Criminal History Check (fingerprint check). Identity credentials issued to individuals without a completed NAC or equivalent must be electronically distinguishable from identity credentials issued to individuals who have a completed investigation. Director Bolten’s Memorandum is available electronically from the OMB Web page: https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/ memoranda/. The proposed changes to FIPS Publication 201 are available electronically from the NIST Web site at: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. Authority: In accordance with the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–106) and the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 (Public Law 107–347), the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to approve Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors, dated August 27, 2004, directed the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate, by February 27, 2005, a Government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification to be issued to Federal Government employees and contractors.

The Appellant requests that the Secretary override the State’s consistency objection on the basis that the proposed PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 53347 activity is ‘‘consistent with the objectives’’ of the CZMA. To make this determination, the Secretary must find that: (1) The proposed activity furthers the national interest as articulated in section 302 or 303 of the CZMA, in a significant or substantial manner; (2) the adverse effects of the proposed activity do not outweigh its contribution to the national interest, when those effects are considered separately or cumulatively; and (3) no reasonable alternative is available that would permit the activity to be conducted in a manner consistent with enforceable policies of Puerto Rico’s management program. 15 CFR 930.121.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 
(HSPD) 12, Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal 
Employees and Contractors, dated August 27, 2004, directed the 
Secretary of Commerce to promulgate, by February 27, 2005, a 
Government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of 
identification to be issued by the Federal Government to its employees 
and contractors (including contractor employees). FIPS 201 was 
developed to satisfy the technical, administrative, and timeliness 
requirements of HSPD 12. The standard was developed in a ``manner 
consistent with the Constitution and applicable laws, including the 
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and other statutes protecting the rights of 
Americans'' as required in HSPD 12.
    To assist departments and agencies in implementing the provisions 
of FIPS 201, Joshua Bolten, the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB), issued a Memorandum for All Departments and Agencies 
on August 5, 2005 entitled ``Implementation of Homeland Security 
Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12--Policy for a Common Identification 
Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors.'' The Memorandum 
provides implementation guidance and clarifies the requirements for 
identity proofing, registration and accreditation processes. Two 
provisions of FIPS 201 as promulgated by the Secretary of Commerce 
earlier this year are not consistent with the guidance contained in the 
Bolten Memorandum and those provisions of FIPS 201 are hereby proposed 
for revision. Sections 2.2, ``PIV Identify Proofing and Registration

Requirements,'' and 5.3.1 of FIPS 201, ``PIV Card Issuance,'' are being 
revised to assure that they are consistent with the OMB guidance 
concerning National Agency Checks as part of the identity proofing and 
registration process. Therefore, NIST has prepared changes to FIPS 201 
to clarify the identity proofing and registration process that 
departments and agencies should follow when issuing identity

does not receive the results of the National Agency Checks (NAC) within
