data (e.g., name, identifying
information, employment status,
citizenship) from the respondent. The
data collected establish eligibility for
the appropriate DoD Common Access
Card for those individuals not preenrolled in the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).
The Homeland Security Presidential
Directive—12 (HSPD–12), dated August
27, 2004, directed the promulgation of
a Federal standard for secure and
reliable forms of identification for
Federal Employees and contractors that
will be interoperable among the Federal
departments and agencies. The
Department of Defense is in the process
of adjusting the Common Access Card
(CAC) program so that it meets the
requirements of HSPD–12.
HSPD–12 mandates smart card
technology and supports the use of
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to make
access control decisions for both logical
access to computer systems and
physical access to federal facilities. PKI
is a key and certificate management
infrastructure designed to support
confidentiality, integrity, availability,
authorization, and access control for
both computer networks and physical
access. Public Law 106–65, Section 373,
codified at 10 United States Code
annotated, ‘‘other provisions,’’ directs
the Department to develop and
implement a Smart Card program. The
Deputy Secretary of Defense
memorandum, dated November 10,
1999, ‘‘Smart Card Adoption and
Implementation,’’ directs the
implementation of smart card
technology as a Department-wide
Common Access Card (CAC) that shall
be: The standard ID card for active duty
military personnel (to include the
Selected Reserve); DoD civilian
employees, eligible contractor personnel
and other eligible personnel; the
principal card used to enable physical
access to buildings and controlled
spaces; and will be used to gain access
to the Department’s computer networks
and systems. The Deputy Secretary
directs the CAC shall be issued and
maintained using the infrastructure
provided by the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System and the
Real-time Automated Personnel
Identification System (RAPIDS).
Individuals included in this
information collection are eligible
contractor employees, eligible, foreign
national personnel and other eligible
individuals outside of the DoD.
Personnel included in this information
collection are considered to be eligible
for a CAC if they require logical access
to DoD computer systems, are eligible
for DoD benefits and entitlements,
